I'll respond to felix only since it will take less time and I will cover most of your points haegar anyway.
Spoiler for spoiler vol. 1:
- I didn't say he "accidentally survived" and I didn't miss it. I've written about it to show an obvious and cheap pattern and what a plot-armor he has, starting from the first chapter. And the fact that from all the people on the caravan they chose him it shows it pretty well. It would be better to leave an elder alive and take him with them if the author really wanted me to buy such explanation. And what the villain did? He left a kid to die anyway on a desert (so his excuse just went out the window) and he left a young kid that would definitely try to kill him later, even if it was 20 years from now. So he made potential enemy that would grow stronger while he would get weaker (older).
- It couldn't have taken too long since he had nothing to eat and he couldn't manage to get far in such state. Also, if he went too far it would be stupid of Garami to go into a graveyard where there was nothing left (which Garami would know by asking the boy before going there, so if she went there without asking it it's pretty certain she was near it anyway). So because it didn't take more than a day (you can only survive as much without water on a desert, especially as a kid) it was pretty convenient that she was near enough to see the smoke or vultures gathering or something. In itself it's not that far-fetched but when you add it to the rest you will see that every chapter he's miraculously saved.
- Yes, it was explained that they don't eat people. Again, you've missed my point. Out of all options he had, he chose to shove him into a cage where this boy might have survived for all he knew, or worse, he might not and the body would still be there which would result in his head falling unless his supervisors would also be retards and wouldn't be able to add 2+2 and know who could throw this kid into lion's cage or he would get rid of the body (but in that case what would he need lion for, he could have killed him himself). Either way it was a lose-lose situation to him and stupid.
- Ehh... It is important since it allows him to recuperate from his wounds. And since he was about to be killed and they knew what garons can do (what's more they thought they could do even more since the rumours made him look twice as dangerous) they wouldn't want him to be in the best shape unless they were retards (which seems to be the case for 99% of characters in this manga). Plus it looked like it was quite an expensive and valuable ointment so leaving it to a dead man would be a waste especially in a post-apocalyptic setting which unfortunately I don't see in this manga. Unless you want to tell me they've managed to capture him and put him into chains without injuring him. As for ointment, sure it could have been hidden but going by that line of thought many other things could, like a lock picking set, some kind of smoke bomb or explosive that would allow him to escape (and we know that in this world such things exist, maybe except lock picking set but since there are locks they also must exist). So any way I look at it it was stupid.
- That's the only thing I would be willing to scratch out of the list and it was more of a "bonus" than anything. It also shows a certain pattern of convenient "coincidences". Prisons have that in common they're generally hard to escape from (duh) so blocks being loose would make retards out of people responsible for keeping prisoners there. As for other blocks not being loose seemed strange to you, actually that's one of the few logical things the author did. If other were loose the lion and his companions would escape almost immediately after being confined there but if they would have to work pretty hard to make it lose enough to take it out it would be entirely different story. Even if they knew it would be futile, seeing their nature as warriors I could understand they wouldn't want to go down doing nothing.
- Yes, she was a slave but extremely valuable and important one and the boss (king or whoever was supervising it) didn't even bother to choose a location he knew was safe and didn't have more than one entrance (or all entrances guarded). It's especially stupid taking into account that this king knew what this bearded guy planned. But going back to princess, she didn't look like a slave at all and lived in royal quarters worthy of a princess. And I didn't say anything about a tower. Of course it wasn't tower but something low on ground since the kid fell down and when he climbed about the same height he was in her quarters. So for someone as important as her it wasn't the best location (tower would be much better since it would make escape harder). What was really stupid here however was that he accidentally fell to that tunnel that led right to her. If you can't see how stupid that was then don't even bother responding to my post.
You've also didn't comment my edited part, i.e. how stupid was that the kid when he
In short, I don't think I've read another manga with such weak script (dialogues, etc.), plot and characters (like a kid whose family has just been massacred was as cheerful as a kid in Disneyland and is a retard overall). There are tons of plot holes here and the list of stupidities goes on and on.
It's funny you say that I must have skimmed through it and looked at pictures (which for the most part I wouldn't call pretty but I digress) when you've missed so much yourself and I had to explain to you every little thing.
Maybe I've had my standards set to high because of
Desert Punk or
Trigun (and from a different genre
Dorohedoro which I've recently read) but I generally don't like manga where characters and plot is stupid and it's not a comedy. Heck, even
Shingeki no Kyojin is much, much better than this (even though it's worse than Desert Punk IMO).
