I don’t really like it, MC being a rapist (historically accurate I get it, but him enjoying it so much is just scuffed) his morals are so up in the air. Like he’s totally fine with raping and selling women, but his brother not considering slaves his family is where he’s like “oh yeah it’s this kind of place”.
Also what happened to the talks about making the world a better place, that shit went out the damn window. He literally sexually assaulted a girl and blamed it on hormones. Like you are an OLD ASS MAN in a kids body, you know it ain’t no damn hormones causing you to be a sexual predator. Him living in a civilized era before literally doesn’t matter because it adds nothing to his character.
Plus the plot of the story is gone, like I understand it’s war, but I don’t even really know what they are fighting for? Also now his brother is dead, which was the most decentish character, cause the MC is just not a good person at all. Also I’m so confused about their religion, because didn’t the MC and the priest talk about being faithful to one woman and not giving into lust. While the MC is literally raping women who are spoils of war? Maybe because they are slaves they aren’t considered real women, I don’t know.
A lot just doesn’t make sense, the MC’s character is so all over the place I just can’t like it. And it’s not about the rape or murder because I get that it’s a period piece and that’s what accurately would happen. The story itself is just a mess for me, not a bad read just had me going “huh????” A bunch of times.
