I don’t like this development at all. Mass deaths like these have always felt like the author or writer not confident in their ability to write an interesting story, so they just kill off beloved characters in a desperate attempt to make readers/viewers care. The story was good. Believe it or not, I don’t want to learn the cynical tale of the protagonist that LOST EVERYTHING for the SEVENTH BILLION TIME!!! Let me take a gander at what happens now. After losing everyone and being wrongly framed as a monster he becomes cold, cynical, and stops caring for people. He then travels alone with his op magic and op equipment and helps people, but isn’t nearly as bright or happy as he was, until he meets new friends (probably female) who don’t see him as a monster and he slowly gets back his reason to live in this series that’s gone on too long with no real goal. But seriously what’s the MC’s goal now? He killed everyone he wanted revenge against in five seconds. His reasons for living are gone. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next chapter he committed suicide and then found himself revived again to when he first arrived in the world (would actually be a fairly interesting development at this point and the only wya I can see this story saving itself). I don’t even like when good characters die. It always felt cheap to me (just in the fact that they can still be used; good characters are better off alive than dead), and I don’t exactly read fiction for the realism. You can add just as much depth to the protagonist by killing off characters we hardly know. The “I’ve lose everything snd don’t know what to live for/live for vengeance” stories are so boring to me. I want to read a story that makes me happy, not something that makes me cynical, sad, lr angry. At the vey least if you’re trying to make me sad, do a proper job and don’t just kill everyone off in five seconds.
