There it is. There's the 'only four digits' trope we've been dreading.

While I get that the real reason why the MC knows so little about magic is so that we readers can get the exposition dump, it's a bit odd that this guy who's wanting to inherit his parents' magic shop, has been working there his whole life, and is the son of a genius mage, knows next to nothing...

"IT'S OVER 9000!" Actually, no, it's just 70 MP, at level 7. Lol. Since he currently has access to 30% of his magic power thanks to Prol, that still only puts him at 233 MP and 23rd level if his mana pool was completely opened up. That puts him at about Anthony's level. That's pretty good for...

It's a rule right up there with how you have to open your mouth every time you lift your shirt up, if those late night adverts for videos with drunk girls are any indication.

While it seems like this manga is setting up the princess to be the FMC, she's proven herself to be quite untrustworthy. She lies about her gender the first time they met, and now she's breaking her promise because it's convenient to her. The 10k bounty and expensive jacket were almost certainly...

Prol can't use ice magic, eh? So, that rules out her being a combat mage from Philadelphia. Since she can maintain concentration on four spells at once we can also rule out her being a wild magic sorcerer from Scranton.

"There's always a bigger fish." --Qui-Gon Jinn

@Nemgaxad But that does explain why she's a prodigy sorcerer. My only question is whether she's a a combat mage, and thus from Philadelphia, or if she's from Pittsburgh, and thus a warmage.

She must be really desperate for a summoner if she's willing to still invite someone who slams his hands on the table--in public, mind you--and shouts that she's a mother candidate. Like that's not disturbing, or anything. That's not a situation where you still invite him to do something...

Reading the first seven pages I was thinking that this is a bit of a GoT ripoff, but honestly sounds like it might be a fun RPG campaign. And then page eight starts off with a 3D6 roll. I'm honestly a little surprised that no one has yet mentioned the "special sausage service." I don't know...

p23: 🎶 🥁Turn the meat around! Don't overcook that rabbit! Flip it upside-down! Love to eat it Don't overheat it🎶🥁

Oh, of course! That explains all the characters with super powerful magic: they're from Pennsylvania. It all makes sense now. It's kind of like how in Philip Wylie's Gladiator novel the Foreign Legion captain completely accepts that the MC's invulnerability and super strength is because he's...

Fire consumes air. Wind blows waves. Water washes away dirt. Earth smothers fire. There's a logical progression to which elements beat which, but fire defeating earth is backwards.

So much for that promise to not use his powers without the maid, nor to ever show them to anyone else. Bobby: "Kahn Jr.?" Connie: "Yeah?" Bobby: "Why are you named Kahn Jr.?" Connie: "My father wanted a boy." Bobby: "So did mine."

Mr Garrison: "Eric! Did you just say the F-word?" Cartman: "Jew?"

Decoration, mostly, or for toys. Early Mesoamericans knew what wheels were, they just never used them for vehicles. The terrain wasn't suitable. They had good road systems, but this involved suspension bridges, and stairs going up steep slopes. It's too much of a pain to get a big cart through...

Arles sticks the landing!

@spauldo That's horrifying. To paraphrase the line about haggis in So I Married an Axe Murderer, "In fact, I think most Scottish Inuit cuisine is based on a dare." I think I found a phrase, though not a single word, that describes this phenomenon: acquired taste delicacy. That's also the...

'Expendable-durable' is the military term for such tools. You can keep using something until it breaks, then you just throw it away, but you have to keep track of it until then. There's an underwire bra joke in there somewhere. Spiderman?

It's kind of like how Megumin seems completely chuunibyou (to be fair, she is 13 when first introduced) but then when we finally meet the rest of the Crimson Demon Tribe we realise that she's actually quite grounded, even urbane, by their standards.
