gotta love how the 444 squad would do whatever encrid asks them to while in the same vein totally ignoring everyone that ever so glances at them like that is their #PlatoonLeader he gets special attention and only him. everyone else is not worth their time
I must recommend the novel bc there are some events in there i want to gush about but like so many ppl have only read comic and like...
OK im going to gush beneath the cut
There's just so much fun in the novel it will take a hundred years to get to in the comic
So warning, spoilers
OK BUT ENKRID TAKING REM AND AUDEN TO A BIG FANCY BALL IN THE CAPITAL
And they are well behaved solely for the purpose for spreading slander about Jaxon bc he's the only one without an embarrassing moniker
rem goes up to people and is like
"ok but have you heard about the sly cat who hits on women and gets rejected so he stabs ppl at night"
audin even joins in on the slandering
AND AT THE SAME BALL Enkrid gets all dressed up and there's like an entire paragraph describing how he is just, so handsome ppl would believe he was sculpted by the gods
also the slander about enkrid being a heartbreaker goes around
heartbreaker -> demonic seducer -> man who can seduce women by just looking at them
like it just escalates and enkrid is just like. "......."
also enkrid becoming a knight is *chef's kiss*
and his feats after becoming a knight are *chef's kiss*
Idk I just love how we get to see him living his dream as a knight. like even after becoming a knight he keeps climbing like its not the end for him.
Honestly I think we have like. 1k chapters left and we are at 1k chapters.
also a dragonian starts following around enkrid and he offers to become a woman for him and shinar shuts him down like ASAP like "that is not needed"
but like foreal he is seducing all the races
but shinar and ester hold the gate so like. no one gets very far
But I *think* ester is winning just from their interactions, there are more like, moments of closeness? enkrid never really shows attraction but ester seems closer to him.
also his horse grows fuckn wings its sick
and the madmen group become a knight order and honestly they only get more respectful and attached to encrid to the point I think they'd all die for him
he also just improves their personal lives by visiting their families etc its fun
also he gets to a point he can defeat them in spars!!! and then they catch up like asap.
BUT LIKE 500 CHAPTERS LATER HE DEFEATS THEM AGAIN and this time they are struggling to catch up phew
