What the others said, but also, in general when tropes like this happen, the explanation a lot of times is something like "the more precisely you try to delete a memory, the more can go wrong, so a more blanket forgetting like this is safer". Like because you just delete a specific thing...
My thought is it's neither this or the quoted thing tbh, because the hit on page 17 seems very intentionally ambiguous to me, with us neither seeing the stick or the boar hitting the dad. It's not that the kid struck the monster first, or that the father gets stabbed by the sword, because we...
So basically, the Duke's aiming to kill all the non-magicians, so that the genius magician Violet can take the throne, as a final "screw you" to his dad who thought that only non-magicians should be able to inherit the throne.
Kinda funny how right after that gets revealed, the first thing he...
I have to assume with how the series has already went "MC can fight, but he needs to be granted magic", that the demon queen plot is going to come into play in basically the same way, where Sumire's power is gonna be his typical fighting power, and then a contract with the demon queen will give...
I wasn't expecting the cosmic level golem, transcendent in its power, the symbol of creation magic on par with that of the goddess of creation, would kill Emilio by biting him in half.
I know we're past the point of "why doesn't akira draw elixirs" now, but if he can actually use peoples' bodies as canvases, it would be very funny to have him kill someone by trying to draw an elixir on them and having them burst into flames because of it, like how the scrolls would burst into...
With how MC's mom was evil, and the evil brother's mom is nice, I'm half expecting a twist where for some bizarre reason, the kids actually got swapped and this is his real mom.
Read it all, decent overall, but man the ending is kind of annoying, lmao. I also can't really get behind Cupid being a sympathetic character when his backstory is basically , but despite that we're just supposed to see him as the MC's new buddy.
Ultimately, better than what I assumed was gonna happen before last chapter (Ellie being sold into slavery by the party leader once she found out + MC summoning her as a slave), but still a bit weird. Especially if it's not revealed in a later chapter "also btw she reported Roland's attempted...
I really like this backstory, tbh. It doesn't try to make him a better character, it doesn't excuse anything he does, but it puts a lot of his bullshit into context. Plus the whole bit of him clearly being an asshole (but people calling him a good person), the reason he wants her but still...
We were told in Chapter 21 that Seacha had stripped Ares of the skill already. Unless the author is doing some real stupid hiding of information here, it makes the most sense to believe that Seacha used her plunder to get rid of it, and that her "it doesn't work like that" statement was about...
