I will admit the coolness factor of magic made me not really afraid of the mc's fall to evil or whatever.  And there's enough moral greyness to rationalize well.. killing the people that are selling you off for a paycheck. Plus mc having trauma of being burned alive and haunted by bipeds. I was only really afraid he accidentally hurt loken and the party, or innocent kids in the castle. But the soldiers? They deserved it


He's definitely mentally not well enough to wield instakill magic but i'm too hyped for a mc that isn't a fragile weakling to care honestly. Hope he gets both his powers and rage in check because currently he has neither :(


I like the 3 points that make horror, i actually guessed them before reading further lol

Very true! I think if Alex had committed these acts without magic, just using standard butchery, a lot of the aversion might have been preserved. Dipping into fantasy robs the story of some relatable realism, but for me it was a worthy compromise!

Honestly the edgyness/coolness factor would just increase if he was a badass evil ninja mastermind instead but I would definitely want to self insert myself less because it's lamer than having magic powers. I'm still a sucker for self made powerful main characters even if the methods are dubious. I like to root for hard working characters even if they're evil, while I get annoyed at a lot of good characters that are lazy. This MC broke through thousands of years of genocidical survival trauma to unlock magic, it will never not be cool to me
