This tired moralizing from the Japanese of how it's evil to kill under any circumstance is indicative of how entirely vapid their society really is as a whole.My face reading this chapter
Oh wow the mc now might have to kill to save someone after refusing to kill and saying he would kill if she got in danger. eyeroll
Anyways thanks for the TL Happy Holidays to you too.
Laws of nature applies to all whether you believe or not. Throw yourself to a cliff and you will be crushed by the law of gravity.Laws apply only to those who abide by them. There is, however, a universal law by which all life abides, and that is violence.

Not only does it show a clear disconnect between the narrative and the setting, it completely outlines that the author has self-inserted themselves as the character just to grandstand and show others how morally just they are for "doing the right thing" even though it more often than not leads to questionable results at best, and bad results at worst.
And yeah, I completely agree that this is just some asspull to force the MC into killing them later down the line. Seen it too many times, just like everything else wrong with this whole scenario.
i find it interesting that you would likely be able to pull the trigger and kill evildoers easily, going by your comment. these people, including the bandits, have been the first group of humans the MC encountered in ages and his previous knowledge and experiences abided by certain laws and his familiarity with strangers. defending yourself against bandits or killing them in self-defence if necessary is one situation, but killing them while they are unconscious requires an active mindset to do the act.Im so tired of every author doing this shit.
"i have killed many things over a long period of time and i have long been desensitized to killing animals and opening their guts for loot and food. But... evil humans???? KILL???? PEOPLE????? KILL BAD PEOPLE?????? oh no....... im scared..... wont someone force the bad guy to transform into a frenzied monster so i can kill them without feeling bad..... im such a good boi ((( "
