I normally don't drop novels this fast, but I got too pissed off. I don't know about everyone else, but personally I started this novel partially because I saw that the MC was raised as a killer after being kidnapped by a dark organisation. I normally gravitate to these stories because it means the MC is ruthless and broken which makes for interesting reading (not raised to be assassin, but Supreme Magus is a great example of broken character). But then there is a timeskip and they are now teenagers. These two prodigies, who have grown up competing and sharpening each other every day get bullied by their slightly older sister who we have never had any indication is strong. Very annoying, but I accepted it and chalked it up to a staple of the genre, despite how infuriating it is. But then he gets attacked by a girl, randomly and with no provocation. So what happens. Does this MC who was raised as a weapon until the age of 9 fight back? Does the MC, who had to survive by fighting both male and female kids his own age to survive retaliate? No, he fucking doesn't. He takes it. Then she attacks him again. Is he finally provoked, and pushed to reveal a little of his killer instinct? Hell no. He doesn't like hitting women. Then when she attacks him again and pushes him to fight, and he wins, does he show any kind of ruthlessness? No he politely says goodbye, and says she can find him any time. This, in simple terms is a complete betrayal of who he is as a character, and it's a complete betrayal of the readers who have invested in the character. So dropped.

I guessing you dropped this in too early in the chapters. There are at least 3 reasons why the MC became like that. It was revealed in the latter chapters. And since you didn't read it, I can tell that you haven't meet the 'killer MC' yet. I am not saying you re-read it, just screen some of that chapter titles and you will see who was it.

you're right I stopped at 22, but are you telling me he loses his 'I won't hit women' thing and actually stands up for himself?

He fought some girls in-game, and even killed some. All of the other fights of the MC in the real world are with dudes. As for the 'Killer MC', you can see find it at the latter chapters. Hehe...
