@Hitspark Uh, I don't think you got it right. You are describing a unsociable teenager... Hikkis are indeed this much of a living potato.

 

[Eplayer]

thanks for the chapter

 

[Raffro]

God damn.

@entity_101
I mean, partly why is likely do to it being complete bullshit. There is basically no shits given to any kind of concrete functionality of a "barrier". Apparently it is just magic which can somehow do literally anything, because calling it something else like creation magic, is too mainstream, they just picked barrier magic because it is less straight forward than say fire magic.

@KawaiiMajinken No, you're describing a fantasy. People have studied Hikkikomori for years, there's rarely a correlation between a desire to be lazy and the circumstances they're in.

Here's a quote from that very same link. "“People think of hikikomori as being lazy young people with personality problems who stay in their rooms all the time playing video games,” says Yamase, who lives with his 87-year-old mother and has been a recluse on and off for the past 30 years.

"But the reality is that most hikikomori are people who can’t get back into society after straying off the path at some point,” he says. “They have been forced into withdrawal. It isn’t that they’re shutting themselves away — it’s more like they’re being forced to shut themselves away.”

And a quote from that link as well

"Better defining distress: Many people diagnosed with hikikomori report that they feel content in their social withdrawal. However, as the duration of social withdrawal gets longer, their distress and feelings of loneliness increases."

Please go educate yourself before deciding to make such gross statements.

Reminds me of Naruto's shadow clones, none of them want to do anything Naruto doesn't like studying or paperwork but they would put the mission first. It also helps that their memories merge so Naruto remembers how being a disposable clone is like.

 

[Taerene]

just wait till he turns on him

 

[MonsieurFudge]

Thank you for the translations~

 

[mammon]

How can something with plot feels like it doesn't have a plot?
Reading this isbgetting jarring at best...

 

[ProfileGuy]

I feel like that's probably how it would go if I had a clone.

 

[Rafaelrgm]

So many ethical questions with this clone...

 

[Psychronia]

When you make a clone of yourself, you have no choice but to confront the fact that you're a lazy asshole.

On that subject, yeah, that's less being a Hikkikomori and just being a lazy asshole, I think? At the very least, he doesn't act like there are psychological blocks keeping him like this.

 

[duongvuduc96]

Some of clone technique like this or naruto is quite nice, the personality of clone is quite fun

 

[nechocat]

so there won't be a school arc?

 

[yellanha]

im not digging this clone concept :/

 

[Fukuro_192]

Here is a theory:

Spoiler

I'm starting to consider when Haru will kill his clone ...

 

[artdeer]

clone fucks princess-sister. he did not commit incest, thus saves him from isekai tropes.

 

[kowoyoshi]

So the sentient clone brings two serious conversation in the chapter which was played off for laughs, the ethics of sentients of servitude and the extiential dread of a cloned (which he did for a couple of seconds) dude the main character probably going to have to acknowledge his own innate personal flaws....
Also does no one else find it extreme freighting the protagonist just literally made a living breathing sentient being.

 

[Hitspark]

@Psychronia Yeah that's why I was wondering why he's referred to as a Hikki. He's not. He's choosing that life and has chosen it for years, whereas a Hikki would be more then welcoming to a second chance at life and coming out of their shell. But it's not just him it's A TON of other Isekai protagonists that act this way, hence my curiosity on Japan understanding that difference or not.

 

[Silwith]

Just casually hitting on the ethics of making a clone with a cloned personality :x
