Wait, is the author really trying to make her redeemable because she didn't attack the town and tried to have it not attacked? How many towns did she participate in slaughtering before? This is one time she did the right thing, weighed against so many times of her being a bandit that she is desensitized and its a blur to her, she should not be forgiven.

Hmm, I see. That town might not have been worth that much for real, but bandit chief saw, that his best horse might defect and had to be shown, that there is no way out for her, for example by living in a cosy town. So, in the end her own affection for the town was the reason for the raid.

What @hevensdragon said still holds true. What about the blood the helped to spill before and she spilled herself?

So she is redeemable because she picks her targets? Where ppl who have a lord that invites her for a full day are spared, and instead she seeks more populous and unguarded cities to raze instead?

If he saw his best elf was about to possibly maybe defect, then ensuring she defects and additionally is turned squarely against himself, seems like one of the worse options to choose.
Probably losing lots of other "horses" in the assault too, weakening the entire band for little plunder.

Would be better to (if he actually suspected it) simply tell her that if she defects he will raze that town to make a point out of it. And even that would still merely invite subordination/assasination.

hurr durr someone was kind to me and died because of it so now I'll just mindlessly seek revenge for a completely unrelated thing and kill people who don't have anything to do with it

i mean cool.

still waiting for missing chapters before read
It used to be on here, but got nuked because the actual official translation was posted on here (for the missingchapters). So, either find another way to read, or continue with the gap.

Yeah I'm definitely not vibing with this back story though seemingly for opposite reasons than most people. The problem for me is that she had an opportunity for redemption but she didn't do anything. I can somewhat accept an argument that with her childhood whisked away she had little choice being thrust into criminalhood (not that the story made one and there's the matter of the massive chunk of life missing from her story). But she didn't do anything here. She main two fantastically kind people and was given an opportunity to stay and help and make an honest life. Except she didn't tell them about the planned attack or her history or just stay and immediately ditch the gang. But fine, benefit of the doubt she was gonna try to dissuade them (super good plan just tell them not to attack the town in the most suspicious way possible/s) and then ditch them and was sure there would totally be no consequences when her team discovered she ditched and lied to them.

My problem isn't that she was still an awful person who attacked all those other innocent towns (after all kill one person it's a tragedy but kill one thousand and it's a statistic). It also isn't that she had an awful "always gonna fail and backfire on the town" plan for redemption. It's what she did after, which granted we still don't know the full derails, but I don't see how anything could make up for her aligning with someone far worse than her former gang and specifically seeking to harm the revitalized town and son of the only people that had apparently been kind to her her entire life. If I am to believe she had no choice but to be an awful person leaning toward being a sociopath being meeting the two of them, then the fact that she continued to be a worse person even after meeting them is what cements her character as terrible for me. She could have easily realized the town's destruction was her fault and tried to take responsibility or seek personal growth to make amends by helping others and then we'd get a great storyline of her being forgiven by the MC so that she can help others and not hate herself or something along those lines.

So far her story is literally "I was a cute and innocent kid who got kicked out of my home for being special and wanting to help everyone so I became a sociopath who blocked out emotions and spent my early adult life ransacking innocent villages and leaving the townsfolk for dead until I found a really nice lord and lady who were willing to accept me and helped me grow as a person, but I'm bad at lying and thinking things through so I inadvertently led to their and the whole towns demiss. So naturally after being guilt ridden I decided to become a worse person and take it out on their son when I learned he rebuilt the town." she's literally being made less redeemable every back story. She had a better chance of being well liked when she was a nameless elf working for the bad guy doing evil shady stuff.

Nah. I disagree. There is a good chance that kind of evil bandit leader overestimates his influence on her and underestimetes the chance her burying her fangs into them or what she can do to them. (Not wanting to see it.) "There is a spark of hope in her eyes. Better extinguish that. She will then give up all hopes for a beter future and stay with us long enough for me making a killing." Traumatising and guilt tripping her, like a child, into obedience. And if that doesn't work, off her as she would have left them anyway.
Of course that is a huge mistake on his part. At least that's what I see.

Q: Who destroyed the town?
The demons! But.... not those demons it was another kind.

So who did it?
It was a woman who destroyed it! But.... she didn't really destroy it.

But we all forgive you. Welcome to the town where you'll somehow find redemption you filthy piece of crap.

Yeah even if she was not joining this town's raid, she joined the raids before this, imo if she really wants to repent, she has to be punished, but we all know the punishment will be lenient or there won't be punishment at all
it is just that kind of manga, even in arc before this, the one deliver punishment was the king, not Lyle
