Teenage Swordsman - Chapter 17
Comments for chapter "Chapter 17"
I find the term “barbarian” in these stories pretty strange, honestly, since it often just refers to any group that isn’t their own. It could be Mongols, Indians, or even Europeans. In this story, I think the barbarians are a mix of Mongols and Indians. Unfortunately, they’re almost always portrayed as idiotic brutes relying solely on strength (the barbarians don’t use weapons or armor like everyone else and even sniffed the main character like a group of dogs lol). I find it funny how this story tries to promote peace with the barbarians, yet labeling and portraying them as nothing but brutes doesn’t exactly support the idea of both groups being equals. I’m not saying the author is intentionally being racist or anything, but it’s an interesting observation you can make of all of these stories.

All she does is speak her ideals about peace and justice but she can’t do shit to achieve it …all she does is be naive and watch her people be hurt and killed in front of her
