AND TO ADD ONTO THE TEACHER, IM GLAD HES A CHARACTER WITH MORE DEPTH. SORRY I DO ENJOY BRAINDEAD READS SOMETIMES BUT THIS HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MANHWA I LOOK FORWARD TO READING BECAUSE IT TAPS INTO THE MCS MENTAL STATE MORE
If u guys really want a story with a mary sue/gary stu there is plenty like that out there
I don’t think it has to do with “not getting it” I think most of the comments are people who just don’t like his personality and I personally don’t like him either but neither does MC so chances are as the plot progresses we’ll gain understanding into his reasons for treating Boris the way he is, and as Boris gets stronger he’ll probably like Walnut more and so will we, but as for now he’s just a pretty big dick head. Probably because we’ve seen Boris undergo nothing but difficulty and tragedy and all of a sudden here’s this guy who doesn’t know anything about him pushing him. I’m sympathetic to Boris and as a reader I understand he needs to be strong but this Walnut asshole can fuck off, give me a new teacher type.
Also just to add on, the greater the writing the more likely people will form stronger opinions on characters and plot choices. Not everyone likes the same tropes and Walnut is the biggest trope I’ve ever seen. Not trying to be cocky or look down on the author but I really doubt I’ll be surprised by his backstory I’m sure it’ll be either very similar to Boris’ or another retelling of a tragedy that taught him to value life by living life blah blah blah.
Wait why is everyone hating on the teacher?? He even said it himself that he was at fault for starting off on the wrong foot. If you’re actually reading and paying attention, hes trying to teach mc to go further and try to live life for himself too. The teacher can see how broken mc is and is trying to not just teach him swordsmanship but also help him grow mentally. Didnt he also mention that practicing the sword is also about being smart?
You guys are all too quick to hate whats on the surface, not even realizing how great his writing is. I dont say this for everyone but i do feel like a lot of manhwa with bad writing has really dumbed peoples ability to read deeper into a story.
Im really curious about the teacher’s backstory from what has been hinted. I’m really looking forward to seeing what more he has to offer along with the servant as well
