Oh that'd be fun, then his brother can have a rivalry with her brother.

Look a protagonist! a protagonist is escaping!

I thought that too, like swordsmen in these kinda series are constantly cutting down centuries worth of trees

What was the point of that flash forward part then?

Oh he's not happy? It's almost like you made him abandon his one passion in life as a condition to fatherhood.

I never understand why in stories like these for the man to be accepted by the woman he has to abandon his entire way of life but she doesn't have to lose anything, like if he chooses his passion she loses out but if he chooses her instead he loses his entire life goal, it's not a healthy way to start a relationship and often leads to resentment later down the line.

Wait she tried to get this man to leave by lying to him about how she feels without ever mentioning that he had a f****** child, why is she written like this?

It makes me remember I was reading something and this dude showed up with all these awesome titles and all this fanfare that his name was just Steve it's just such a casual nothing dude name that it could have never been what I expected.

Damn the one time dito doesn't comment on one of these chapters you mention them by name.

Like why didn't he follow up that hook and make it a combination, if he double tapped he never would have got brought to the ground.

I know right I got so used to his presence I was expecting him to show up at some point in this chapter and he just didn't.

I actually like this empire everyone's relatively direct and yeah they're all super intense but it comes from a positive direction at least.

Yeah going off of the course of events and previous thought processes this whole thing was set up so that the second Prince can get a good fight out of Cali, it seems this entire Royal bloodline is some degree of battle maniacs and he heard about the guy that beat ogre and thought "I could get a good fight out of this"

This whole romance Arc is actively hurting the story right now, because when romance is a subplot I should never feel like it's happening at the expense of everything else and right now it really feels like it is.

I think visually he's inspired by Andre the Giant, just with more tone and defined muscle.

I think of it like a Roman system, but with colonialist morality. So they've got the stadium and the sport of it all, but they don't really consider slaves people and generally value their lives and deaths less, so this is more like watching a state sponsored dogfight to them than a brutal murder on stage. Though duels and executions were historically known to draw massive crowds back when those were public affairs so the morbid curiosity of humans really can't be underestimated. As an aside while the amount of death is exaggerated, the reaction to death in the ring really isn't. people in modern times might often find themselves surprised how savage humans get when they believe they are culturally and socially okay to do so. the general madness that envelops whole populations when genocides occur is one example of this, the general excitement in the Roman Colosseum rather there was a death or no death is another example of this, another example might simply just be the practice of bullfighting -in which a show is made and the bull is usually severely injured before even being taken to the events to lower the fairness of a fight and ensure the human is most likely able to win.
