I wonder how many spirits of the people he killed were talking to Vandalieu hidden from his sight (after all, he is the only one there, besides the Ghosts, who could talk to spirits).
Because OH GOD I can't believe there's not an entire gaggle of people trying to curse him for all the fucked up shit he has done, and I refuse to accept that as a possibility.
Everyone. Mostly. As you will see in the next chapter when it will be translated. along the way they already reveal all tricks about his Cheat Power.
I would've preferred if the spirits had actually tried to pass on but they weren't able to because they realized on their own they still had business, it feels like kind of a dick move for vandalieu to be like "whoa buddy! I can't have you peacefully passing on, I need you to be shackled to your hatred a bit more".
It's not in theme of this novel and MC. Van is the eldritch monstrosity, walking ball of madness, inflicting insanity to all around him, this will be seen more apparent as a story progressing
(especially when he infiltrate mental asylum). And forgiveness not in the dictionary of this world, for both sides of conflict. Its like for dwarfs from Warhammer,
Grudges not only not forgotten but actively keeped tracked for a later due, with interest.
Well truth be told, since Vida is Goddess of Life and Love, her teaching prevent too excessive measures (like phrase "
The son is not responsible for the father" is actually enforced there).
