You're stuck on the idea that slavery in any form and at all levels is pure evil, and are refusing to use your brain at all in this conversation. If he checks out the slaves and finds one with skills or knowledge to supplement his own then that will accelerate his growth so he could gain the...

You can humor the slave trader into thinking you might be interested so they can refer you to other traders so you aren't having to flash a massive sack of cash every time, and while you're at it you could take a look at the slaves they're offering to see if any of them might be useful and...

They don't need to sacrifice the original premise to pursue the abolishment of slavery, they just need to make some big achievement that places them in a position to demand its abolishment and have those demands met. They could even manufacture/fabricate a situation that forces the ruler's...

He's not taking any action to even try and get the slaves better treatment, let alone doing anything to disband the slave trade, so it's really just he hates the idea of owning a slave and apparently has no qualms with the fact that slavery exists or the treatment those slaves might face from...

Growing crops takes months, but sieges can last for years. Just like most, you're underestimating how long sieges took. A siege isn't gathering a army outside the castle to destroy the walls and storm the keep, it's locking down the supply lines and applying constant pressure until the...

You would think so, but they aren't mad about it being a trope when an MC actually does buy a slave, they're mad that the MC bought a slave at all. Many of them would probably be singing the same praises and throwing all the same hate if the trope was to not buy the slaves when they're offered.

Might make sense to leave it as Mai though, nicknames don't have to follow the spelling of the source name (or the pronunciation, eg James>Jim or William>Bill)

At that point the ink doesn't need to be dried though, at least not in an extent that requires holding it up to a fire like that. I had actually considered mentioning the method they usually used to dry the ink, because one possibility was that he might've been dumping the material into the...

That actually looks like he heated up the paper so the seal would set better and then he checked that the seal set properly. They wouldn't be flapping the letter around like that if the ink needed to be dried.

There are other options as well, such as them not properly processing his withdrawal so he couldn't join any other guild and give them the benefits of his skill, and the guild seal could actually be some other symbol that the guild just appropriated and overshadowed the origins of. (similar to...

Reins* Water falls from the sky when it rains, reins are used to control animals, and a ruler reigns over their people.

One way to tell is by the sound. Even if they can't tell the difference in the sound their breath makes as the obstruction is reduced to cinders, they'd be able to hear the screaming and the sizzling, they may even be keeping the breath up just because they still hear the guy yapping away and...

I wonder how good the filters are on that guild lady's mask. . .

It's saying there's only 6 minutes or so until she gets shot, but he's already stepped in and interfered which on it's own can be enough to delay or expedite her death. 2 seconds from "now" she might decide to demand to be shot so Delray doesn't have to die again, or she might hold out and...

Don't forget to turn off screen rotation, or have fun spinning your phone. For future reference, if you're reading on PC (Windows at least, not sure about Linux or Mac) you can hold CTRL+ALT and use your arrow keys to change the screen rotation.

Except the living skin cells still require blood flow, and dead skin can only layer so thick before it starts flaking off. We can also look to existing large animals to see that not only might they not have skin any thicker than a normal person's, but that even if they did they would still have...

I had the same thought at first, upon further consideration I realised that she'd still have blood vessels near the surface of her skin unless her cells are themselves ~5x the normal size, but then the question becomes whether or not the mosquito could drink the blood even if it could manage to...

She's the biggest help around the house and with the store, she has also previously expressed her own desire to not ascend.

You made it this far in the series without realising that's one of the core elements of this series? You appear to have forgotten that the entire reason the MC is trying so hard is to stop his uncle from raping his sister. Giving the villains such grotesque plans is one of the most clear-cut...

That's apparently not uncommon. Sword Art Online did it, Death Mage does it, No-Guard Wife does it, the list just goes on and on. The whole x.5 and side chapter thing can mean that the chapter doesn't advance the plot in any way, but it can just as often simply mean that the occurrence of the...
