One Piece is consistently loving ugly. Despite the seeming fertility of visual design, there's no imagination or invention in it as sequential art. There's no illusion of movement, it's a series of characters being alternatively frozen in place, in extreme close-up, or bursting in action. Every page is stuffed with detail to the point of incoherence. The result is a static mess.

nope you're wrong.

I mean, their parents probably cared for her, albeit from a distance? Presumably they paid to send her to school, and they're still keeping written correspondence with her.

IIRC Laius and Farlyn are minor nobility, so it seems more likely the villagers and servants were isolating her, which seems to be the case in Laius' flashback. He probably left as soon as he was able to, when he was of age, but taking his sister with him would've been irresponsible. Could you honestly see an 18-year-old Laius taking care of his 17-year-old sister (or 16/15, whatever the standard)? He probably knew he couldn't take her along, or maybe he was also an outcast (for being a huge weirdo) and left for his own reasons.

It reads poorly at first blush but, thinking about it, there's a some charitable context that isn't a stretch.

he also literally left to join the military so he couldn't take her and he had no desire to stay in his village.

I believe it was JK Rowling who said that the right approach to worldbuilding is to ask yourself, "how do their toilets work", and then tell yourself that the wizards poop on the ground where they stand, like a horse, and use their magic to make the poop disappear.

i mean they did that for real without the power to disappear the poop by magic in the past.

i'm not entirely sure if winged lion is as shady as he seems. he encouraged laius to continue what he was already doing, and at the end warned him about the dangerous mofos who will definitely try to stop him.

also he even showed that it isn't going to be some grand utopia. I believe in winged lion.

i think you guys are being a bit too literal. the dungeon "eats" desires and when full overflows monsters and creates destruction

This manga would get slightly lamer if the lion was right and Laius was the Chosen One to be the Good Ruler of the Dungeon so I choose to believe he's a lying demon

see i think lying demon is way lamer than laius creating a nice dungeon society

I'm amazed that a catgirl character actually behaves like a cat instead of just being there to please weirdos.

and yet all you weirdos seem so pleased!
