Kingdom volumes 11 and 12 received, read it up to volume 21, ordered volumes 22 and 23... I really didn't think I could enjoy this series so much.
Soooo....
Kingdom 11-21
So much stuff happening/happened. Wang Qi's death came as a big surprise to me, but gotta give props to the fat lips general, he was outstanding until his last breath. A testament to his strength that a whole war was initiated only to kill him. It also allowed for Teng to show some of his strength and he didn't disappoint.
Xin is still green, but he's improving at such a steep pace and the inclusion of Wang Ben and Meng Tiang has been giving him the right push. I don't really like Ben so far but Tiang is really cool.
I also appreciated that Xin stepped up to stop those war crimes, even if it risked dooming his entire unit. Even better that Qiang Lei was doing the same on he side.
Speaking of Qiang Lei, I don't like this direction he story is taking, especially when I look at the cover of volume 22. If that injury and cover mean that Qiang Lei is gonna die, I'mma be a sad sad person.
While these volumes were damn good, I felt disappointed by the fact Diao didn't really have a role except a few appearances.
Now back to waiting for the next volumes.
