Really? At least save the poor girl being abused. I always hate it in stories when the MC has the option to save someone but never does.

 

[Northern]

This MC really is a POS. The author must be an edgelord.

 

[firosahoge]

uhh, why would he save a random stranger in the slums? He needed info before he knew how safe it is to go bandit hunting

 

[Kaarme]

@SovietWeeb And what next? Will he look after the woman for the rest of her life? Seeing how she was sitting there on the ground, she might have been sick or a drug addict as well, making her circumstances all the more complicated.

 

[SovietWeeb]

@Kaarme I can't really remember anything since It's been 6 Months since I originally posted that. But your thinking way too much into it. Tons of stories can have someone being saved but not become a burden to the MC. Normally the person will go their separate ways from the MC. Also, This is just a story and doesn't really need detailed explanations of every character.

 

[Kaarme]

@SovietWeeb Yeah, perhaps, but on the other hand this story did try to make something of a point of the responsibilities of a slave owner as well. A slave needs to be treated, fed, and housed well enough. That's already a step further than isekai series with slaves usually go. So, if you save a person momentarily, it's meaningless if the person is in the exact same situation the next day. Or even in a worse situation.

But, yes, six months is unarguably a long time. Sorry about that.

Dick MC, he totally could’ve saved the to-be-raped Villager and chose not to for “investigative purposes”. It’s not like the victim had to help or join the protagonist or anything, and it also isn’t like the MC had to reveal who he was - he was cloaked, and could hit them with the side of his sword to refrain from killing them. The MC not saving her paints him in a bad light

 

[Glomoro]

Scouting to commit some murders for money so he can buy a slave, "Why isn't he saving some random stranger?"

I'll take whatever they're drinking, barkeep. Seems like some strong stuff.

 

[camlakorns]

i mean he had no reason to save her but still he could have took her with him while she was still hiding

 

[Denker-Bosu]

@camlakorns and then he could lose his chance at getting more and more valuable bandits, beucase the others would go into hiding.

 

[Raladan]

This is hidden gem.
No super op Mc, no idiot Mc saving everyone, no idiot Mc killing bad guys at sight.
It's pretty realistic and I love.
And seeing retards in comments crying about realistic Mc is really satisficing.

 

[zh3tigerrr]

bro is down astronomically

 

[Triparadox]

And seeing retards in comments crying about realistic Mc is really satisficing

100000% AGREE!
No self righteous trying to bite more than what they can gulp.
No cringy plot armor that's tougher than fucking titanium.
So far, it's very reasonable.

 

[Seraphsent]

>I need to kill bandits
>Doesn't kill bandits
>Watches woman get raped

good stuff, real galaxy brain here.

 

[Niton]

Horny police here, out!

 

[DreamCarver]

you go, boy
do it for boner

 

[SirImDead]

GO MY MAN!
Any hole's a goal as long as it's consenting for both parties!

She's literally a sex slave though.

As for the disagreements over whether the MC is a dick or realistic, I think you have to think about these things in terms of what the story is going for. Idealistic heroic stories where the MC is a good guy who saves the day, defeats the villains and everyone ends up happy is enjoyable in one way, and grittier stories (like this one) where the protagonist is an antihero who makes rational self-interested choices are interesting in a different way. This story is going for the latter (at least for the time being), and it does so in a pretty well-written way so far, so I'm having a good time with it, but I also like the more idealistic stories too. Also, as much as the MC is not too heroic, at least he's not acting like a smug and superior asshole like some antihero MCs (looking at you Arifureta).
