I really dislike goody two-shoes main characters. When this was written, what was the reason to make the villains so unreasonably evil when the punishment at the end is so disproportionate mild? If the goal was for MC to just rough them up a little and tie them up the villains could just as well been written as thief’s that steal the targets weapons and armor instead of gang rapist that leave their victims to perish in the deep dungeon. If a writer decides to go with dark and gritty R18 for the crime they should not chicken out with a pg13 punishment. Keep it balanced. As it stands I’m extremely unsatisfied with this episode.

Another gripe I have is all the Japanese food and utensils in the otherwise western fantasy setting. It’s unimaginative. Looked good though.
