@Dark Flower Well, he does owe the OGP a few items anyway. He took took the ring and bracelet for himself, and gave various artifacts to his kids that originally the protagonist would've obtained. While he went way overboard, compensating the OGP so he can still grow properly is a decent thing to do.
@Galactic Navy Officer Own him? Loll what does that even mean? Sure if he feels bad he can give him some but he doesn't own him anything...Og protagonist couldn't even stop the destruction of the world while MC by helping the villains accomplished it ..those items are well used
@Dark Flower Owe, not own. Watch your phone's autocorrect.
The protagonist didn't have advance warning of who would be the Sins and what they'd do. Nor did he have advance information on how to handle the descended outer g**. As many a regression and other stories show, advance information is beyond price in preventing problems.
Also remember the original genre was dark fantasy -hope is precious, dark conclusions are the rule.
But the protagonist can't even do what little positive he was able to do unless he has his booster artifacts or their equivalent.

My bad, English is my fourth language, it wasn't my phone's autocorrect...but it's laughable how that "owe" correction meant for sarcasm is the only correct thing you said
He doesn't OWE the OG protagonist anything. Transmigrating isn’t theft, he didn’t steal in the traditional sense, and whatever he acquires belongs to the circumstances he’s in. Dark fantasy rewards cunning and survival, not fairness or past ownership. Claiming he “owes” something is just a moral opinion, not a rule. The story shows that the original protagonist failed, while the MC not only survived but took the future villains under his wing and supported the OG protagonist. That’s the world rewarding action and foresight, not enforcing some moral debt. What he did was pragmatic and strategic, any “owedness” is just an opinion, not a rule.

@Galactic Navy Officer I mean, if we are putting the logic that MC owes the OGP something bcuz he took the artifacts that were meant for the protag, then it should be cancelled out with the fact that he took out some of the major villains from him too
@Happy55 In the novel, it's clearer that the original state of the Pallatio estate provided a massive amount of XP for the OG Protagonist. And while some of the old enemies are out of action, new ones are moving in. Ironically, some are gaining in power and moving because the Five Sins are now five Authorities in their respective spheres. While some OG enemies are weakened, others are strengthened. The butterfly is flapping like crazy.
