I enjoy watching Free, so I don't see your problem.

Her empathy aside, its mostly because there is no justice in this, only the end.

Finally these emcees have started to learn about survival and not revenge.

Not to mention Master Gu is what the title says he is, that guy obviously didn't read the title.

I read the web novel, it was about the same as what you said here. But the clear thing so far is, he "somewhat" made up with his family, but he only treated the girls as classmates on first name basis, not girlfriends, not even friends - only their one-sided whim.

Maybe you forgot, but Master Gu's demonic cultivation is actually 4-5 realms higher than his orthodox cultivation, as shown how he easily wiped out an elder without much of a scratch in the confined world.

The only problem was showing his demonic cultivation out in the open is no different than declaring war against EVERYONE aside from the demonic faction, even against his own Gu family.

Not so soon. But a worthy gamble if it prediction is within said month rather than next chapter.

He could have resolved it himself, but not out in the open. Which is why... AUNTIE QING?

And the irony was that the emcees could have stopped any of it happening... had they moved their brains better than their dicks.

Well, the MC is a VILLAIN, what do you expect? He is a real piece of shit after all, unlike those wannabe emcees who can't even amount to a speckle of dust.

Its so ironic to witness so many brainrot gameplays done by the emcees and their sides just because they are blessed by plot armor, while what Master Gu mostly did is just verbally incite them with logic.

In fact, I liked her more - a tsundere that doesn't mince words.

I mean, they already did h*ndh*lding before they even graduate, much more within a month...

For further context and proof for what I said, page back to the later half of Chapter 13. This is how much a no-name side character can influence the bigger picture if left alive to interact with the emcees long enough.

The .5 chapters of this series is just... WAY WAY SWEETER THAN ICE CREAM BOBA TEA, I'd get diabetes just from reading this.

PS: The last time I remembered feeling this level of diabetes was from Acchi Kocchi, and that was over a decade ago! Even what I felt in Netjuu no Susume and Koikimo ain't this bad!

So much drama and politics for a school that was supposed to be simply teaching dark magic... Well, not like there wasn't anyway. *glances at Harry Potter series*

The "no way" part was only when they cannot cultivate. But with the emcee, ANYONE can cultivate - that's PLOT ARMOR for you. That means anyone and everyone who sticks with the emcee can gain fortune - which is bad news for any villain.

What is the use of hostages when its sooooo obvious that the emcee only cared about the girl?

Talking about hhis OG world? Why need it when he can have almost EVERYTHING IN HIS HANDS in this world?
Allies? Duh, his subdued servants are way, way more powerful and talented than them, even his espionage ladies are top tier in power. Not to mention they don't even have Fortune Value, much less the talent to cultivate, they are just cannon fodder characters.

To be fair, none of that would have happened if that old man wasn't so self-centered.
