I... don't understand the message the author tried to convey, was it just a setup to cool scene showing how mc is powerful?
Like throughout the previous chapters we were told about how everyone said the prince was going to be a helper. While they didn't say it explicitly (or did, doN't remember exactly), they alluded that the prince was "talentless" (wrt mental strength) which caused the guy to resent everyone. I thought the attitude of judging things by "talentedness" was being criticized?
What confuses me now is that the mc is just saying "unskilled people stay like that." Then what was the critique? What, the prince didn't try hard enough to raise his mental strength? He didn't try hard enough to be skilled at the many jobs he tried tirelessly to master? He was unskilled?
What the hell was the point of all that buildup? Showing us his reasoning for his resentment? If you're just going to backtrack immediately, then what was the point?
Is this a china thing? I feel like I've seen this kind of logic almost entirely in chinese and korean manhwa, where the mc is oh so skilled compared to everyone else.
Now that I think back, I think this logic and plot-progression was why I've started avoiding martial art manhwa (among other infuriating cliches).
