yeah, he brought this on himself for trying too hard to not draw attention. If he had just accepted the reward for killing his old teammate turned murderer rather than dropping the whole thing when some fuck off to the side made a comment about him, if he took credit for saving that high level...

given the part you pointed out, I'm not sure if I got across my point. I was saying it's better to write mature children who know or are told more than it is to write adults acting like children. Well, more generally, write a native receiving knowledge about their world than isekai a guy and...
