Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 238 Discussion

This is probably the most well written Kr Murim novel out there. Plot is pretty decent, without many holes and inconsistency. Characters have their own personality, quirks.... while they aren't really realistic but they are as best as characters of Kr Murim novels can ever hope to be. Yet I can't bring myself to continue this novel anymore. Because Spoiler

The protagonist has an extremely disgusting personality that the author tried to downplay as something hilarious. As I'm at chapter 238 where he treated a group of bandit like animals, pets, s*aves if not worse. I can see that many people find it hilarious as the author actually tried to portray it as. His justification was they're bandits heinous criminal who has blood on their hands and they should be grateful that he wasn't killing them. Alright then, he punished them by treating them extremely badly. Yet at the end he gave them up to the officials which equals to death. So I don't understand why did he made fake promises, treated them like animals, cow, horse, dog. Of course, all of this is supposed to be hilarious. I guess, I'm just a sour person who can't laugh at jokes like these. He takes advantage of people without second thought and whatever he does he does for benefit of Mount hua. Yet his senior/companions have absolutely no faith in him, they whine at everything he does despite knowing it will never end in their loss. Again it's supposed to be hilarious.... yet I don't find it funny, not anymore. It was pretty funny at the beginning yet this thing got so overused that I feel nothing but annoyance at it now. The protagonist does something bad- His companions screams, curses him, doesn't care about his intentions.

The protagonist does something good- His companions screams, curses him, doesn't care about how much effort he put. So that's what they do at anything protagonist does. Side characters do have their own shining moment like Yoon Jong in Yunnan. I liked that. But honestly the few good points it have isn't enough for me to put effort into reading it. Especially since I can't see the side characters do anything but nag at whatever the protagonist does and protagonist always being heartless and treating everyone outside mount hua cruelly or with an attitude to take advantage of them.

[collapse] This one is just not for me. Not because this novel itself is bad or horribly written, instead it being a case of my own personal preference. Go read it, you most likely won't be disappointed. But I didn't liked it that much, because of the above mentioned reasons. I'm quitting this one.
