The male lead goes from a naive, kind, upright boy to a domineering champion of justice. Hatred never turns him completely evil; instead, it helps him find his direction in the world.
Like other revenge stories, this one follows a survivor of a village massacre on his journey for revenge.
It isn’t purely about revenge: many other people’s stories are woven in along the way. The male lead does end up involved with plenty of women, but he is rather inexperienced and has barely had any contact with them. As a result, the girls’ feelings take center stage most of the time.
As the male lead grows stronger, he finally becomes a force to be reckoned with.
