That was too vague. "We kill all these people because we had to even though we knew it was wrong." Its a one dimensional solution to the problem. I highly doubt the circumstances were so dire that it was the only choice they could make. If they have the power in their organizations to kill tens of thousands then they should definitely have had the ability to at least attempt to establish their own simple form of a justice system. Hell, I'm sure there are skills that would be perfect for that. A few might use skills to slip through the cracks, but they wouldn't have enough resources to do much, comparatively. There are quite a few things that don't make sense with the way the situation was described, but this is already too long.

I said I was reaching the end of my rope with this like 40 chapters ago but I stayed around because it seemed like the writer at least cared even if the quality wasn't great. think I'm done tho.

Just as vague as wars, remember they have skills, but so do the opposite faction. People fight for their ideology, and you have to remember the five guild leaders are runaways from wars, so they have little education nor leadership to begin with, in short, they are a bunch of incapable, untrained leaders, but hey, that's how most wars broke out in the past. Hopefully the five guild leaders can learn and grow more in the future.

To add onto your point, there are a few things that should be noted. One, this area was seen as completely lawless, chaotic, and dangerous beyond imagination. The fact that the mass murder of around 100,000 not only happened, but was covered up reasonably well, indicates that many more likely died before the union of the guilds. The idea of a justice system only works assuming that both a trust system is in place, and that there is a method of punishment capable of handling those. Of course, we don't have the full story, but I assume that detaining nearly 100,000 people with super powers isn't particularly easy, especially when it seems that those people had factions and groups of people themselves to fight.

Second, the fact that they remembered the exact number of people they killed also indicates that they remember those they had killed. This indicates that it wasn't done as a blind massacre, but a targeted series of killings. They know that they are spilling, and chose to remember the sheer volume of their actions. From what we've seen, they have learned a lot (except maybe Inquisitor), so I doubt any of them are okay with actions again. This seems more true when you consider Paladin's kill count of 0.

Very weird way to respond, but ok. Bye bye?...Anyway, a justice system does not require any kind of trust it only requires the power to enforce it. Key phrase in my first comment: simple justice system, to start with. So, these people had the power to massacre 100k, but did not even attempt to establish some vague form of a justice system. There is so many things wrong with this that I could go on and on, but just try to look at it from their perspective. Imagine there were 100k possible/probable criminals, whichever way you think is more accurate for it to be perceived, and you managed to unite a group with the power to kill them all but REALLY didn't want to do that, what would you do? Just a few obvious options, win over as many people as you can to your side, kill the ringleaders in a display of power, restrain anyone you can afford to... Obviously there's risk involved in those options, but not nearly the amount of risk as full-on war with mass casualties. Lets take a step back even further - if you were writing a story, would you have presented this the way the writer does here? "We killed 100k people a while ago because they were all criminals"? It's shallow. It's just a superficial way to add significance to their characters without showing anything meaningful.

It's cause you had to announce your dismissal from this series, which was also weird.
How is me saying that I'm dropping a series after criticizing it weird? Is it weird for people to say that they didn't finish their food in a review of a restaurant?
