If anyone is overwhelmed by the discourse rn and is confused about people's arguments, js scroll to like the first page of comments. Everyone is much more coherent and level-headed and actually explains what is making them uncomfortable instead of yelling at ppl and insulting others with little to no discretion.

To the community jumping on the "racist" and "white savior trope" bandwagon after one chapter:

Someone recently commented that no matter how they examine it, everything leads back to white savior framing — the MC’s family wealth from slavery, the ranch on “stolen land,” him freeing the workers, and the Native cowboy element all supposedly screaming “I’m not like other white people” pandering. They have low expectations and see it as irredeemable.

This is premature judgment at its finest. The protagonist fought for the Union — the side that went to war to end slavery. He returns to personal tragedy and immediately frees the estate workers while trying to sell it off. That’s not savior fantasy or pandering; it’s a coherent starting point grounded in post-Civil War history. Depicting the ugly realities of slavery’s aftermath, inherited wealth, contested land, grief, and shifting power dynamics (including the Native cowboy’s stubborn refusal) is not endorsement — it’s historical fiction doing its job. One chapter cannot prove the entire story’s direction or themes.

Rushing to slander the work as racist, calling for boycotts, and dismissing it as unsalvageable shows poor media literacy. Historical fiction must engage with actual history, including its horrors, or it’s meaningless. Labeling it automatically problematic while ignoring context is lazy.

The deeper irony: many are also fixating on the East Asian author’s race and implying they shouldn’t be telling this story. That’s real racial gatekeeping — deciding who is “allowed” to explore American history based on ancestry while accusing the manhwa of racism. It’s inconsistent and self-defeating.

We’ve seen this creator deliver before. Give the story room to develop instead of burying it under assumptions from episode one. Judge the full execution on its merits, not vibes and trope checklists. Early outrage rarely ages we'll. (￣∇￣")

I think a lot of commenters lack the ability to read controversial topics without thinking that the author aligns themselves with the controversial viewpoint. I'll js go over some stuff that people are not understanding:

1. That guy calls himself a humble slave because it is clearly sarcasm. He has a cocky personality; he rides in on a horse, makes a ruckus, calls the farm his own and calls himself a humble slave. It is supposed to be jarring and in your face, thats just his PERSONALITY.

2. People are saying that this will follow the white saviour trope, but how do you know that? Yea, sure, it's a very prominent trope, but if we are looking at the history of this specific event, white racist Americans fought slightly less racist Americans to advocate for human rights. The white people WERE the "saviours".

3. That guy isn't a confederate. Seen a few people saying that this is the equivalent of a story between a nazi and a jew or a japanese soldier and a comfort woman, but it fundamentally isn't because he is not a confederate. Am I saying his family was not racist, No! They still had only coloured workers, but that in general was common during this era due to sharecropping.

Pls stop arguing like this in the comments, so many of you jump the gun to assume racism and it cheapens the argument other people have when pointing out real racism. Let at least 10 chapters release before we make these racist accusations. I have seen some valid arguments, and I understand where quite a few people are coming from, but the yelling and insulting is js childish and ineffective. And most of all remember you are pirating this, the author does not recieve your support. Whether we read it or not, the author does not earn a penny, nickel or dime. There are worse things to read.
