@Wisblade Chill bro, it's not that deep. Yes, he is generally rude (blunt, to be precise) to people, but to be fair almost every single person he meets either pesters him about what to do with HIS OWN life (like about his marriage, creating tools he doesn't want, not wanting to meet new people,etc) or just cycles through the same stories about him being a genius or whatnot just to suck up to him. it's understandable he'd be annoyed. Also, what scam? Who did he scam and how??? And about the secret message thing, the message was not meant for Catarina to hear, nor was there any chance for her or anyone with little experience with artifacts to find out about it. Literally no one lost anything from this message being deleted (the guy is literally DEAD, who cares at this point😒) and the thing is his now, no matter what anybody says. He can literally do anything to it no one can say anything about it 🤷. Lastly, what support?? Those are literally his employees and he pays them. The blonde guy is literally dependent on that income and his job is to help in the workshop while the married lady's job is to secure connections and handle business stuff. If they don't do their jobs, their relationship ends there and he can hire different people. If we're talking about his family, the ONLY person who is stated to be helping him in any way is Alt (the younger brother) with the not succeeding the family issue, which is based of him but that doesn't undermine his independence. I fail to understand where your argument is coming from🤨.

@anon You just exposed the core issue without realizing it. You defend the MC by saying "they get paid", "they can leave", "he can do what he wants". That's a classic corporate cop-out: as long as the contract is fulfilled, there's no moral weight, no responsibility. But here's the truth: economic dependence isn't freedom. It's the exact opposite.
You admit the blonde is dependent on that salary. So no, she can't just leave. She has no leverage. She's stuck working her a** off for a guy who couldn't care less. He gives her crumbs while burning piles of cash on useless artifacts like a manchild with a gacha addiction. And you call that independence? That's not freedom - that's neo-feudalism wearing a silk glove.
This guy lives off others. Not by stealing, but by making them invisible. He doesn't oppress - he lets them submit. He offloads responsibility, expects loyalty, and gives nothing in return but cold indifference and the luxury of his detachment.
Now let's talk about that deleted message. "The guy is dead so who cares". Really? That's your bar? The MC knowingly erases a message from a valuable artifact - something that could've boosted his reputation, opened social doors, brought him benefits without compromising anything. He destroys it out of pure apathy. Or worse: pride. And you applaud that?
This isn't a genius. He's not a self-made man. It's an aristocratic slùt for comfort, wearing the mask of an independent soul. He doesn't carry his own weight - others do it for him while he pretends to float above them all. And you relate to that? Maybe because you'd love the perks of superiority without ever earning the burden of leadership.
He's not a role model. He's a passive narcissist, coasting on the labor of people who don't have the luxury to walk away. And what you're praising here isn't freedom - it's well-dressed parasitism.
