Huh. Well, that's a new one in my punch wizard asshole main character experience. Dark King, MC's reaction to a problem later on is "let's cultivate drugs and addict as much of the population to it as we can, with the express intent of using them as wrung out coke whore cannon fodder".
Like, I've seen "drug the population" before (Ark), but it was (mostly) with the intent of roid raging an otherwise pacifist/ineffective group that was facing an existential threat. This one's doing it just to save his own ass and screw with people, and given the setting it's less "save his own ass" and more "use the addiction and probable death of thousands/tens of thousands as a minor distraction that probably won't work".
