The criticism that the boy made is valid. It's really frustrating when a character we like make somethings that's incomprehensible to us (ethically or morally), even though the culture that shaped the personality could justify such actions. This leaves a bad feeling, even if it is justifiable.

Thank God this novel doesn't have a tragedy tag, as the author is very good at creating charismatic characters (I really sympathized with his first family) * Congratulations for the originality, because in all the stories I've read, the protagonist had a horrible frist life. But who said it should be like that?

Thx!
