Grand! Our MC has abruptly gotten too nasty nice to KILL anyone, so now he cripples them by shattering their dantians—a fate worse than death.
I'm through with this story. Maimings and crippling cultivation crosses my bottom line—particularly when it is presented as a humane alternate to mere killing. Sometimes I can gag it down and continue the story, but this story isn't worth gagging over.
