So it's just a bloodfest with some questionable content and goblin slaying so far.

It's exactly what I had expected. Too bad it's a terrible start so far for a side story imo. Hope it gets better than this.

The prequel of GS, nice start.
GS madness coming through and saved by something.

Escalated from 0 to 100 in no time flat. Pretty brutal. While I expected to see all the gore, gritty graphic violence, and sexual themes, I hope this side story focuses more on his journey to becoming the man that he is, than the edgy action.

The gore was just right, not too excessive and not too light. I think the first chapter was perfect even though it was only 22 pages.
Provided just enough information for the "Hero's Journey". Very well executed, no wasted panels and lines.

Yeah, it pretty much regurgitated the start of the original in nearly the exact same way. Guess that's just how the author wanted the entire series to be.
Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you.

Yup, having read the original manga, I knew this wasn't going to be a happy story.
