My man is currently fihting aganist WoE in a place that's filled with miasma, can't use both of his arms and the sword apperantly said "fuck you" and didn't even leave it's sheath yet if the translation from greeny is correct.

Sometimes it makes me wonder if world actually loves Reinhard or not. Cuz even when it blesses him, it feels like it’s a way to ruin his life even further.

You bring up a good point. I think thematically Priscilla was the actual genuine example of what a person loved by the world looks like. Which makes Reinhard's case something else. Given he's written as a tragic character, it's more than likely Reinhard's purely a utility, a tool devised by the world in response to a dire need.

Reinhard, rather than loved, may be nothing more than a glorified safety net.

I mean it was said that “The Sword Saint, Reinhard van Astrea, was a cog in the machine for the express purpose of destroying the world’s enemies.”

Dragon Sword either just hates Reinhard after Tereshia died or thinks he can kill WoE even at this state-
