Actually, you completely misunderstood my comparison to Goblin Slayer, and the comparison is perfectly suitable if you understand.

In both stories people die from incompetence, not from actual defeat or true helplessness. In Goblin Slayer, EVERYONE knows that goblins are deadly murderers. It's literally explained in the first chapter, or the first few chapters, that the villagers hear story after story of entire adventurer parties being killed off, and broken women sent to recover in churches for the rest of their lives. It's literally a "common story", and that is straight from the text. The guild has lost party after party, people have lost family and friends, entire villages have been destroyed or over run, there are refugees pouring down the street in carriages, again, it's shown at the beginning of the story. So the guild knows people are dying left and right, so what do they do? Do they require people to have armor? To have spare weapons? To show up for mandatory training? No, they literally send adventurers to their deaths, and give the goblins free metal weapons, shields, and armor that the goblins can't make themselves, in the process. What do the adventurers do? Do they take the deadly goblins seriously since so many adventurers have died? Do they get armor and helmets? Shields and spare weapons? Do they practice? No, they run in and get murdered and raped. It's not that those stinky green toddlers can actually beat humans in a fight, it's that the Author made everyone so unbelievably incompetent and so preposterously stupid that they end up dying to little stinky green toddlers. Even some peasants with pitch forks could take up the 5 man formation from Kingdom, watch each other's backs, and pierce the goblins at a distance, and have hatchets as a back up weapon, but the guild sends in an UNARMED and UNARMORED martial artist, priestess, and sorceress with a staff that's no good for fighting. I haven't even seen real people approach bee hives, ant hills, or garden snakes with the type of arrogance and incompetence the characters have in goblin slayer. Now back to this story. The main character finds out his family has been taken hostage, except, they ALL have BARRIERS besides his teacher. He agrees to meet hoping to save his family. His goal is to save his family. He has stupidly powerful magic that can destroy the whole castle and kill a huge Wyvern okay, and he did that in an instant. So when he comes across his family and identifies their abductors and attackers, what does he do? Does he kill them with his magic while his family is still protected by his magic? Nope, he begs a guy who just threw a naked child off a rooftop to her death, do you understand? When your family has been taken hostage, and you have over powered insta kill magic, and you see the people holding them hostage, and the guy giving orders who threw a child to her death, do you beg or do you start blasting? I say you start blasting, he goes with begging. The begging doesn't work, and the spy comes forward to reveal himself. Does our mc immediately start blasting once the spy reveals himself? Again, he has over powered insta kill big range magic. What does he do? He stands around surprised, and lets the spy use the slave magic to disperse his barriers, the only thing protecting his family, and his family dies. You can argue that he was worried for his teacher, but I have news for you, his teacher not only refused a barrier protection in the first place, but also lost the fight and was taken prisoner due to his own failing. In that situation do you help the people you actually have the ability to help, and hope for the best for your teacher, or do you stand around and do NOTHING while everyone DIES? The blame goes all around okay. Yes, the evil people are to blame for taking hostages in the first place, but if his master had already released the slave magic, they NEVER get put in that situation in the first place, but even after they get put in that situation regardless, the MC could still take out all of the enemies and at least save his family even if he couldn't help the teacher. SO the point is, in both Goblin Slayer and this story, all the tragedy, horror, gore, death, it's all cheap, manufactured by the Author, and avoidable. It's caused by incompetence, not by actual helplessness.

What are you even talking about?

This is the definition of putting words in someone else's mouth. You must be delusional. Of course I dropped this story. The newest comments show on the bottom of the page, ANY page no matter what manga you are reading, so when I saw that comment I popped in to see which Manga they were posting about, upvoted it, and replied to warn them they might get hate mail. A lot of hateful people on this site throw insults at anyone who posts any type of criticism. Just like you, calling people names for your own personal entertainment, what, are you a troll or something? And the comment section is open. If a reader doesn't like something, they can post it, this isn't a place to worship the Author

Tell us oh wise one both option and so we may pick the optimal option.

ok, you have a date with me 😉

Meh, he deserved it

Yeah, unfortunately I have a creepy e stalker who pretty much thinks writers can do no wrong, every work is flawless, all criticism is undeserved, and all reviewers are neck beard parasitic insidious haters.
