In that case it is better, but it seemed to me that the whole procedure required them to confirm it once the judgement had been made. I mean, they came to his house 'after' the verdict was given. So if he refused at the dining table, then it is just instant pardon and not a proper example to society. Still, kudos to them; pardoning still leads to death, just that the example doesn't hit as deep. The system needs to imbue fear to avoid similar crimes.

I mean that there needs to be some more psychological analysis of the victim's party before giving them the option because otherwise the rush of emotion clouds their rationality and principles. If that kid's father ever gets into a vehicle again, he will clearly remember the scene and this could lead to involuntary spur-of-the-moment actions. It doesn't help the case that the MC prompted him to continue.

Of course, this was just the introduction. My problems will hopefully diminish as they bring in more details of the system and that they closely monitor the victims' families to ensure that their vengeance is quelled for good. I mean, the MCs vengeance clearly runs quite deep and from the looks of it, that applies to most of the 9, so you can't really say they are in it just for justice. You can see other motives in the MC at least. Would be nice if some of them(maybe no.0 counts) have become emotionless and thus do it out of policy rather than personal feelings about it. "Hmm. So I kill him by crushing his skull with my shoe? Okay. Done. I felt absolutely nothing from that, but hope the victim's party felt it was enough or else it would be bad on our name."
