@allen133194 I really hope magic is the cause, I really want an explanation. But all the evidence we have right now is that he doesn't try.

@okestra No. Not everyone can just change jobs. Especially in a socially strict culture like Japan's. If a worker quits, that means they are bad. Not the job or company. Value the group over the individual, that's their mentality. It's even in their names: family name then first name.

@allen133194 Well, considering Neah's other actions I don't think she was introducing herself. She made Mary cry and tried to drag Ren away just later, after all. Seems she considers Ren a pest at that point. Mary introduced him, but didn't say anything else at first. Neah said something, and...

@Kathami Again, it's not victim-blaming since she isn't a victim. Nothing happened to her, and she doesn't even consider herself a victim. It's shitty that things are this way, but all he's doing is explaining reality to her. Of course everyone can wear what they want. But they still need to be...

Well, he totally deserves the shitstorm heading his way.

@okestra No, you aren't supposed to feel anything. Feel what you feel. I was just explaining that it is backbreaking, burnout is a huge fucking issue among mangaka. They chose the job, sure. Doesn't change the fact that it's a shitty job. Don't know where you're from, but not all governments...

@allen133194 He was the one instigating learning names in chapter 1. In chapter 2 he points at the golem and looks at Mary questioningly. In chapter 4 he learns the witch's name. That's pretty much all I could find. Like I said, basic.

@okestra 3 pages a day, nearly everyday, for years. Monotony makes even the simplest task backbreaking.

@J363 Unfortunately, there's a reason why a lot of news we see is negative. It's human nature to wallow in negativity. In my case, my reasons for posting is that I love this manga. It's great, so naturally I want it to be better. The one tiny part I dislike, is MC's lack of effort. Such a small...

@ISingTheBodyElectric He made a few basic attempts in the beginning, then just gave up completely. No reasons given, beyond him just not trying anymore.

Well, it's already established that the father is a socially dense motherfucker. He clearly loves his kid, he just doesn't know how to actually express it without being an ass.

@J363 Well, I was raised to value opinions. Even negative ones. So I will state what I think. It's really not even an issue from my side, since the ones that seem most upset are the other side. I keep hearing "drop it" or "don't read what you don't like". Or even "shut up!" Yet not even one of...

@otouniisan There actually is reason to believe the lightning isn't his power. The whole conflict with Ulmander led to MC learning that magic requires training your body. It's why the magical beings all dress scantily: to show off their effort, which equates to power. Edited for clarity

@Xystus Fuck off. Obviously I still care, else I wouldn't be here. I'm glad you took a page out of your own book, and decided to not read what you disagree with. Obviously, that's a great idea, no fucking way that could go wrong if everyone did that. In case you need assistance, that last part...

@J363 That's true! Not everyone can learn the same way, but nearly all children do. So it is at the very least possible. With enough effort, I'm certain 99% of people could learn any language. Of course, for some of those the effort involved would be inhuman. Which is just not feasible, but...

@Xystus That is the fucking point, for quite a lot of readers it would seem! The point of the story is to be a heartwarming SoL. When a huge part of the readerbase can't enjoy that because of shitty non-explanations, that's a fucking problem.

@allen133194 haha real funny "can't" doesn't explain shit. The reason I'm annoyed by this, is that the only explanation we have is MC's lack of effort. I could say "I can't walk", and you would understand nothing about me. Maybe I'm paralyzed, or limbless, or really fat, or just plain lazy. You...

@Xystus Then the author should fucking say that

@J363 You make interesting points, but there's a very easy counter to all of that. How does a child learn language? Two things: observation and repetition. Basically, they mimic other people. You teach a child by showing something, and saying the word. Works for nouns, adjectives and verbs. Like...

Wait, I thought they had to train their bodies for magic? Isn't that the whole point behind the lewd clothing, to show your effort? This twig is that powerful? I smell bullshit.
