Basically, he was blank slate till he met MC. The development cut short and he regressed when MC was abruptly killed. Then as soon as MC was gone, all of the adults were scheming to control him and the only way he could get away was war. Doesn't help that they tried to control him with MC's look alikes.
I'm gonna piss off when people comments about ml being red flag, bad person etc. I'm not protecting ml's behavior of killing people(innocent or not) what I mean is that some readers either forgot or not understanding the reasons ml become the current him. I also dislike ml but love at the same time.
When ml was a kid, he likes a blank paper which anyone anything that can draw/paint on it. Unfortunately, those bastard kill mc who draw flowers bugs while the suckers draw war and blood.
I read the novel ver and it's really good. If you hate this kind of ml, just stop read and go touch some grass or something.
