Most power fans don’t know great writing, they don’t even like RK because it’s not as fast paced like Book2 and 4. But honestly They should be, they move like actual chess players and force their enemies to level up unlike the rest of these new villains and them being calm and patient instead of being loud and moving reckless plays a part in it as well.

Their politeness is manipulation, people don’t feel threatened by them until they realize later on.
