For a moment I thought he was just going too powercreep and solo Manus. Got worried for a sec that this was turning into another generic reborn manhwa. Thankfully, the author is better than that.

AHAHAHAH, oh you're real pathetic ain't you? Is that what you say to all people who make you watch reality in the face? Can't deal with a tiny bit of criticism? What a weak little boy.

Grow up. Only a kid would care about something like "kill yourself".

My dude, wars are fought for less than that. Nobles ARE their territories, it's their primary source of power and influence. Even if the Viscount didn't lose anything financially, letting this go is showing weakness. From a political perspective, he has to fight back or this is just asking other nobles to see him as an easy target.

I'm not trying to excuse the Viscount for the shit he is pulling either. Most likely he had been aware of the cultivation of the land for a while, especially since this is a long process, but he waited until they were done with it to seize it to get better profits out of it. If he had stepped in sooner, that is, before they were done cultivating it, he wouldn't be in this shit. So yeah, he does mess up.

But this is STILL a diplomatic error on Lloyd's part. Other nobles would mostly find his actions to be reprehensible even if legal. After all, most of them probably have some plot of land not in use currently and they definitely wouldn't want to have to constantly be on edge to defend their territories. Hell, most likely this law was meant to help peasant keep their lands despite noble interferance, not to allow nobles to take lands from each other. Now the Viscount is justified in taking action against Lloyd. And making new ennemies is the last thing he needs at the moment.

Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's ethical. Now he's made an ennemi of a neighboring lord when he could have easily smoothed things over, but instead he made sure to be antagonistic in addition to being greedy.

I mean, just look at it from the other angle, the other half of this territory was their, and they also weren't doing anything with it. What if the Viscount chose to pull the same kind of stunt (assuming he'd have found a way to do it), what would they have done? When the loanshark are doing their own legal but dirty business, they're scum but he can get away with bending the law to his advantage? Why? Just because he's the protagonist?

she's great when she' drunk

The Viscount got a point tho, he did get cheated out of his land without so much as a compensation. Lloyd is really lacking in diplomacy here.

Done. Didn't knew about this private thing, don't even know what difference it makes.

It changes nothing tho. You still put your settings in a way that makes it more difficult to downvote you then bring this kind of trash opinion. What are you scared of? People showing how ridiculous you are? This is a particularly pathetic form of cowardness. You're already safe from behind a screen, what is a downvote gonna change?

The point of justice is to correct bad behavior for the sake of diminushing crime rates. To punish for revenge is not justice, it's just satisfying your own thirst for violence.

I you seek excuses to kill "bad" peoples, this isn't an act of justice, it's nothing more than murder. You got proof of these criminals' crimes, jus give them to justice. It's the third time already.

And of course, he waits for him to try to backstab so that he can feel justisfied in doing this. What if he just bid his time, what then? Of course it wouldn't happen, the author only wants to justify his perspective.

Justice isn't meant to be cruel or kind, only fair. This, however, is just cruelty.

Poor cowardly lion who is so scared of backlash he deactivated downvotes.

He gave him the king Piccolo treatment.

That bullet didn't fix her, it made her worse. Nice.

Nice nice. Bocchi is gaining in fame.

Also, I can't I didn't realise this earlier, but Bocchi IS the individual immune to his poison that the god is looking for. This is gonna be interesting.

Ruru is a golem, but the girl is probably just using a fake shell as disguise.

Here comes the booooy!!!

The plot thickens.

What happened to the gods? They used to rule this world, but current royalty is basically always human. Yet there are still gods around but they just seem to wander. These four in particular looks more like vagrants despite their crowns and their dialogue implies they're used to living from banditry.

The kingdom of Geslan seems strongly linked to gods. Does the "land of the gods" refer to the kingdom of Geslan? It seems its very appearance is different from the perspective of those gods. Glittering.
What about the clan of light, those weirdos with light based power? They're from Geslan, but what are they? Bocchi's mother-in-law, the queen had some blood from this clan, but it seemed her heritage was distant (her power was weak) and she looked rather different from the other ones we got to see. Those actually looked a bit like some of the gods, no? And 3 of them were working as interpretor for one of the gods (the one with the instant death spell).

All of the separate stories since that first arc about Bocchi's kingdom of origin have been leading to Geslan and the gods. What even is going on there?

cheerful people are tiring

Those two are really useless....

Soon, we will be rid of the pedo-somkemen...

Another lost soul. Hopefully our little king will be able to save him.

In fact, between him, Kage and the bandit leader, he seems to be building quite the entourage of tortured souls.

The more time passes, the more we head into a canonical threesome relationship.
