The weird disconnect between the MC backstory and the reason he is scared of the ML and runs away is lacking in so many ways. With the crazy mark on his chest I originally suspected the MC was a runaway darkness guild guide that was sheltered to the point of naivety. But no, he’s just stupid and gullible. I wanted him to have some sneaky reason to stick with the guild and maybe use them in turn but NO, he’s just stupid and gullible. I’m hearing a lot of praise for the novel, I bet it fixes these issues but it felt so rushed in the end
