And it actually kinda makes sense. He's strong, but weak enough to not be a threat. He did have a lot of accomplishments, and his fame has risen enough that people will respect him.
Bravo author, for making this make some sense!
I've got to give the author kudos for this plot. Despite being a clear power trip it still makes sense, isn't annoying and is immensely enjoyable instead, great work! Thank you very much for the chapter.
tho the buildup is great, personally, I dont like it when the MC gets in charge of a group. it becomes boring(at least for me) and mc has additional burden to act as a leader. i hope this won't be one of those stories
