This manga is such a Solo Leveling rip off, I'm so happy! I wanted to read more SL for the longest time, and now I can basically read more about that kind of world (very different protag and story, but almost exactly the same type of world so far)
Damn, Gramps nearly got merc'd right off the bat. I wonder if anyone saw Takeru go into the gate; you'd think so given how many people were around, but maybe he went in through the back?
Like MC said a few chapters back, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down". That doesn't just apply to his situation, but it's a common opinion in Japan. As a culture, they're a lot less individualistic than in the West. To stick out is to be rude and arrogant, so it generally brings trouble and social animus.
