Page 22 should probably say "Time on earth passes a lot slower than here."

He built himself a magical AI Data Center.
I guess it's a lot easier when the power is free and there's no waste heat, lol.

Also, damn, I guess the blood Brahms got on Kira's gonna be a problem after all, huh? But luckily, unlike the old guy, her bruise will be pretty freaking obvious in her usual attire, lol.

Chapter five is the first time we see Shakiku's skill written out. Acording to the translation notes at the end of that chapter: The text is due to a "UTF-8" error, and that the text can be deciphered. Acording to this translation note, the name of the skill is

Rulemaker

Well, that explains why the world works exactly as he thinks it should as a game.
He's basically a god, he just doesn't know it, yet.

why is the mind control/brainwashing/possession/whatevernameyougiveit of a lover/team member the big trend in fantasy right now? I swear its everywhere I look.
It's always been popular trope to raise stakes or tension.

The audience doesn't want something bad to happen to a friendly or likeable character and it's a legitimate threat to the heroes.

The difference is in how it's done, and poor writers spam it.

...Whoever that elf's friend is better be quite the character, because picking up a million contractions ("y'see"), idioms ("pumped up") and mannerisms (using "like," every few words) is not something you see on someone learning a language. It's something you'd see on a native that's already intimately familiar and comfortable with a regional dialect.
As it stands the dissonance between what's being presented and what it purports to represent is annoying and immersion-breaking.

And if that friend turns out to be a scholar of some kind instead of some redneck or whatever that found her in the forest I'm going to scream.
Well I'm not a linguist or a fluent Japanese speaker, but that seems like a conflict between the literal phonetics of the Gyaru dialect compared to standard Japanese, versus the cultural shorthand of conflating it with the Valley Girl dialect of English.

You know how it is. You have a fever and you get an especially bad headache while lying in bed, so you suddenly get an uncontrollable desire to pull your collar down to show the plot-relevant chest tattoo to the intangible, canon-dubious audience. We've all experienced it before.

It's omnipotent reality warping. He is subconsciously forcing the world to conform to speedrunning, and anything Shachiku does succeeds as he is speedrunning. The world is completely normal. Falling through walls, changing sex via a mirror and running around under the map are all just effects induced by his skill.

Also, yup, called it. She's been infected by the vampire's blood.

My god, he's basically just a Warhammer 40K Ork.

Twist: Every elf speaks like that. That's the standard ancient elf dialect.

They have computers already, huh? How would processing power improve more than electricity and binary?
The magic jump phenomena sounds like it could be an oblique reference to quantum physics, so maybe he got to quantum computing before we did.

Yeah? You often want your skin to breathe when you have a fever.
