You're telling me his parents were willing to surrender to protect their kids, but they're willing to stand up for a stranger after seeing a clear example of defiance without strength=death? The same parents who risk their lives in Bronze rank dungeons 10+ hours a day for the sake of their children? Maybe other parents might stand up for a stranger, but those two were shown to be intelligent and adaptable up til now, thinking only of their children's futures. The only thing more forced than this was if his dad choked to death on a muffin or his mom got struck by lightning on a clear day. There's other ways to make MC's realize the cruelty of the world without dumbing down the entire family during a life-or-death crisis.
Wow. You handled that poorly. Such a forced event. We aren't connected to the parents at all, making their deaths meaningless. All it shows is your lack of vision and planning because, like others have stated, we saw this coming from a mile away. I liked the MC. He isn't proactive enough with his abilities but that's alright. He was still adapting to the changes. However, that isn't an excuse for him to have basically zero awareness to the threats on his life as well as his family's when he literally battled with a silver ranked assassin. You'd think that maybe where he is isn't the safest place to be, or that maybe he isn't even comparable to a baby when combating hegemons and should have taken actions to at least keep his family safe. But no. You made him content with waiting it out. It's your choice if you want your character to be a dimwit, but don't insult our intelligence by dragging it down to yours.
