Starts off great besides some weird grammar mistakes, his reason for his hatred for humanity is questionable but if you close your eyes, tilt your head and squint a little it kinda makes sense? BUT The author starts going on a path where it slowly and slowly becomes more and more uncomfortable to read. Attacks and kills some party of noble kids trying to get his best friends sword back? Sure! Yea go for it. Attacks and slaughters a garrison full of men where the author goes into great detail about an underdog character with a great character and an unborn child with a loving wife at home? Sure...? lil weird but go for it. Attacks and slaughters a slave caravan that was attacking a village? Yeaaa!!! No problems here- wait your slaughtering the villagers too? Innocent woman abt the be r-ped? Kill her! Slaves chained in a wagon? Kill them all!, 3 dark elves with an older sister and 2 younger twins that the older sisters very protective over? Kill her- wait but plot armour says you cant because of a curse on them... Cripple the older sister! The plot continues on like this becoming darker and darker and not even an enjoyable dark. Unless you are mentally unhinged, I don't really see the appeal in reading a story that humanizes the victims before killing them only to try and portray the main character as some sort of human happy mind with positive innuendoes in his self-dialogue. TLDR: This is like the NTR category of anti-hero where it's not even anti-hero and more sociopath.

LIKEForgot to mention this in my review but later on, with the weirdly specified garrison soldier, the author writes about how his unborn daughter was born and the wife dies in childbirth not knowing the husband's dead too so I don't know why the author really writes abt it? It's like reading this is like watching someone cuck your wife is the sort of feeling the story gives off. Stopped reading around where he kills all the slaves, I'm not into being cucked.
thanks for the info, I'm not going to read it
I think you didn't like the fact that he is an UNDEAD who naturally HATE living beings. there is no logic in his hate because he is simply a undead and as such hate life. This is why he has no empathy for them, he can only be curious about. He doesn't spare them because by killing them he become stronger, and since as a undead he isn't restrain by moral or principle he just take the most efficient path to power for him by killing, because he is a MONSTER. Personnaly I prefer this way, I'm not fan of humanised monster. BUT, I agree with you about the human guard view point part of the story. I don't see the use behind it for now.
