So. I have to ask. I got to chapter 31. Did they really just put those two in as initial characters to be disposed of later? Is the second half of what's currently available really a completely different story with the only relation being world history?
I for one don't find the battles interesting enough to continue this if they are going to introduce characters, give them story, only to trash them in the end...
Please let me know, and to everyone else, continue enjoying what you enjoy regardless of others (I stated my preferences purely so I could get the answer I need as quickly as possible.)
