@degenx it's not about that, it's about how they made the older brother irrelevant. The story could've been better, but the way they build the dynamic around them felt unbalanced, showing more of the younger one, and just killing off the older one just like a simpleton wasn't good at all. Keep in mind, I don't hate the younger brother, I just hated how he behaved in the beginning of the story, simping for that girl and making rash emotional decisions without reflecting on the consequences. It could've been better, by not showing the older brother often, he looks like a weakling obsessed with revenge and couldn't achieve it, while the younger one looks an over talented that can do what he wants. I'm not asking for a cliché scene where the older dies and by the power of love the younger gets stronger, but the brothers's bond, their separation and reunion could've been a lot better than just doing this. Why put the older in such details then, the author should've just made him invisible and kill him off screen since the beginning.

@HASHI i do agree with that they didnt give them any developement time and so forth but i'm guessing the author didnt know what to do with the brother since he was probably more well liked than the main character. but from the little that we saw the brother had a female counter part too so in a sense i'm assuming the same way everyone hated the girl mc was chasing they'd probably hate the female counter part for the brother but who knows. personally i'd prefer if there was little to no romance and just focus'd on character dev. and instead of making the brother be one of the greats disciples just had him join a large sect. the author did make the brother a huge focal point due to that one detail. in a way it is sort of poorly written in that aspect. and it does suck like you said they didnt even get a chance to bond or the mc didnt evenk give his brother closure when he found him in that state. feels like the author didnt know what to do or how to handle scenarios like that
