[WolfgangHype]

Idk if I remember the spoiler wrong but

Spoiler

its quite sad and annoying that the women who are pretty much sex dolls/slaves don't get their revenge on the king because if I remember correctly the spoiler someone posted what happens is when the gem breaks the king and the other 4 mages turns into skeletons/dusts because they exceeded their age thx to not being immortal anymore because the gem is gone

so yea sucks for the women

Correction on the spoiler (at least in the WN):

Spoiler: King's fate

When the magic stone's power is broken the king begins to age rapidly but doesn't go to dust. At least one of his granddaughters gets to take his head.

I've read a bit of the novel and certainly this atrocius king didn't have a super developed brain, the information he received was mostly the same, and he surronded himself with yesman.
But that is overthinking, doubt the author ever thought anything about that originally.

But if not to overthink everything, why are we even here???

Im sorry... the king did WHAT?!

Mind you, among these wives, we saw this garbage cleave through one of their heads much earlier on in the story.

good on them tho narratively speaking it would’ve been pretty fitting for black haired knight to land the final blow too

Up until now the horrible things happening in the human lands felt like they were partially to give contrast to MC's peaceful life, and the author could get away with making it maximally dark without overshadowing the rest of the story because it was all happening "far away with people we aren't involved with".

Simultaneously cranking up our sense of proximity to what's going on, and the depth of the depravities invovled, is a... bold move, in that context. Is the tone of the entire series going to change? Or are we going for brief, involved climax of all this followed by a catharsis?
