Though the terminology used isn't wholly accurate, he's not just a knight. He is effectively a baron, or similar low noble. By governing a territory, bearing the responsibility of taxes, as well as the responsibility of levying forces for his liege, he is a vassal by any use of the word I've seen. "Von," specifically, is also a sign of being granted nobility. I wouldn't expect this to be used accurately in the majority of isekai manga, but it's something.

Out of the deal, he was recognized as the governor of a significant stretch of land; he made peace without additional battles he'd likely lose; and he was forgiven for murdering one of the noble's men (even if it wasn't really one of his men, it matters). That's a really good deal. Being taken as the noble's right-hand man is also a significant position of power, despite the difficulties it will bring.

This manga had a lot of potential... that it spit on, kicked, smeared, and lit on fire. Every interaction with the villains feels like a scripted-loss boss fight in a game. Even when there's absolutely no reason for things to go their way, they succeed perfectly. It's infuriating to read because every additional step of the story that builds off that is now empty and makes me feel cheated.

What's the point of a story where antagonists continue to exist only because convenient dominoes just happen to fall into place? What's the point of having the protagonists at all involved when their involvement is brushed aside and changed nothing about more than half the events they're involved in? It's just poorly written in exactly the places it needs the best writing.

Honestly, this would be a lot better without the ML. If the MC just did her own thing and the romance happened around her, there would be way more potential.

Kind of a disappointment, honestly. Was hoping they'd do some timeskips and he'd do the body reconstruction stuff, and have Seol actually learn something. Instead she's just randomly given absurd power for nothing, and the story loses all depth.

If there's any one thing you can trust to find in a murim manhwa, it's that the orthodox sects are irredeemably evil, the demonic and unorthodox sects are just cool guys trying to do cool guy things, and bandits aren't too bad.

I think we'll be waiting for a while longer. iirc, he's still a highschooler, and I got the impression they're holding off until it's more appropriate. Kind of an excuse to not rush it and let it build a while.

That bodyguard dude is really annoying. His whole purpose seems to be to complain about the girl, and not much else. Assuming his only purpose is to keep the girl relevant, it would be nice if he were given some character beyond "she's weak; the ceo is the best."

Oh dang...! This chapter has got me somewhere between speechless, hyped, and dazed. This manga is great.

I'm so disappointed this is a "the church is evil" story. Everything else seems so good, and then you have the low-hanging fruit of conflict. Having a beastkin slave-girl is also another stupid trope, but at least she isn't immediately head-over-heels for MC right from the get-go.
