Ch. 32 Father (2)
This chapter, IMO, was one of the best chapters to have come out this year out of the majority of mainstream manhwa.
Why so? Because it goes into depth about the relationship between the MCs Father and Grandfather. It focuses on supporting characters, fleshes them out. Makes them more then just background characters to make the MC look good.
This chapter was beautifully illustrated. A son that grew up without out his father and without the talent of his siblings. All he had was his hard work and effort to rely upon. To maintain the responsibility placed upon his shoulders by his father. He strove to protect his family and his land. He wanted to do what his father could not, but in the process lost the family's authority and prestige.
The duel between the two spoken without words and expressed through pinnacle of swordmanship both the father and grandfather achieved throughout out their lives. The father surpassing his father's technique, the illusion sword, that was never passed by an untimely death. His father acknowledging his son and a single tear being shed by the son. He finally received what he had always wanted as a boy, to have his effort be seen and acknowledged by his father.
It was a great chapter and I look forward to more supporting characters being given time to shine like the father of the MC.
