I love how so many people are saying they are dropping this because a character dies. I feel like this death actually helps the story building and gives me Akame ga Kill vibes. It shows how seriously dangerous and terrible the world is where you can lose a loved character or friend at any time just like that to the dragons. The death really helps to show how big of a threat dragons are and why the MC wants revenge/to kill the dragons so badly. I am happy it isnt always a "happy ending, good guys live, bad guys die" story.
