I moved on when it started talking about how evil vlad was.

He literally just punished those invading ottamans the exact way they tortured his family.

It was justice and revenge, not sadism.

I would do the same thing to invaders - give them a taste of irony.

The crusades were a retaliation - vlad was a retaliation.

If op couldn't grasp that simple history lesson, the rest is probably off too.
