conveniently, just when they lost their truck, they obtained a tree pet who could change sizes, grow super large or super tiny and store a ton of stuff in its trunk, and the "normal" stuff in its tree trunk don't come tumbling out, the get resized with the tree.

they learn the tree pet has healing powers

the tree could filter water and let them drink it

discover two 6 year old kids who could control plants and animals as the adults in their OG team (who were also conveniently bad people) immediately died within like 3 paragraphs of meeting them, and then the 2 kids only wanted to follow the MC/ML. And apparently the 6 year olds were super good at keeping secrets and knowing exactly what to say at the right time.

the plant-growing kid could literally make 60 gallons of oil from ONE oil fruit

MC's mom touched a dangerous electricity sac and got the electricity ability when every single other person in the entire country exploded or died from doing the same thing

the 6 year old kids mu*der 2 women who were written by the author as "oppressed/forced" to serve another team. And the ML literally just "smirked" as he looked at their dead bodies.

The only reason those women had been tied up and suffocated were because the kids wanted to show off and called them "thieves" for taking a small bag of quote "sanitary napkins and clothing" from THEIR OWN RV.

And then the MC/ML, (apparently guilt-free now?) because everyone on the team were killed by them. Also, by the way, the scene of those women dying, literally did not need to be written. The author could have let them run away to die by themselves in the wilderness without the MC/ML or 6-year old kids stopping them and they WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE RV ANYWAY?

instead, there was this whole unnecessary scene of 6 year old child using their abilities to "catch" grown people, treating them like livestock, then shrugging when they died. It was cruel, cold, and chilling.

every person or team they met on the road wanted to rob them. As they got closer to the city, the only "reason" they didn't get robbed was because the "city" would punish teams that robbed people.

During winter, out of desperation, some people started breaking into stores and looting things. In one paragraph, the author wrote that the winter was harsh and people were starving, which caused desperate. Next paragraph, nah, people didn't need to rob, all those robbers were malicious fakers who could eat if they wanted to or "worked hard."

Why did the author do a 180? Cause they wrote the main characters using their abilities to frighten the masses. And then the author had to backtrack quickly and somehow "whitewash" the main characters by talking about how all those people just "deserved" it.

Following chapter, MC gets ability to sense other people's emotions. Now author wrote themself a blanket clause to just villainize all poor people without thinking about the root cause: why were all the spoils/duck meat/insulation/cotton/good stuff only given to ONE district? Author literally name dropped district A as the beneficiary of anything good. And then follows up by calling literally everyone else poor, malicious, lazy, and unwilling to work hard to get to district A.
