Quite the short chapter, hit pretty significant in flagging that the status quo is going to be drastically changing.
Next chapter is longer i believe but it would be amusing if the artist just wanted to half ass it or did it as a way to try to get more money per page


Yeah, it only makes sense that they can't just stay low-ranked heroes forever, no way a Kingdom that morally bankrupt would just keep the underperformers around
Was there a reason for him to keep dungeon diving (on paper), bc other than “we won’t let you just be freeloaders” idk if there’s a risk of monsters leaking out versus giving them a quota and being like “slay at least 3 goblins at the end of the month” but if anything even if it might be consistent versus ppl being overly cautious or ambitious, tho he did “spread bribes” unless he’s found out about the dungeon rights considering they summon groups of ppl I doubt they keep close track /im sure some ppl wouldn’t try to do more than the bare minimum since they’re not like “if you don’t rank up before the end of the year we’ll kick you out” but id assume he’d have savings outside of the points to buy tools and “wives”

Tho other than being “kicked out” wonder if ppl advance enough /high rank to basically just live freely and buy their own house rather than living in the castle/kings territory

But other than those two other girls from his world regaining emotions again idk if he’ll get involved with the nobility as a plot hopefully

That assumes they let them live. They have just enough power to be dangerous, and have been allowed to live a rather luxurious and debaucherous lifestyle. Taking that away would cause a lot of anger and violent outbursts. So much easier to remove them entirely as a threat so they don't need to worry about someone plotting revenge.

Also has a secondary effect of inspiring those that did meet expectations to not slack off and keep showing results.

Depends on if he wants to be in a leadership or not. He controls the dungeons which their entire livelihood is based around. So it's not like they would have much choice but to crown him as king if he wanted it.

Meh.. this much I know. I'm just vaguely holding out hope the author does have some sense of direction otherwise frankly it's a bit mind-boggling who or what the reader is suppsoed to think - or maybe your point is well made it's just not rational in the slightest. Tbh though, it's not like the sex scenes are even that good either.
Dude we left the plot long ago, we even overtook the web novel if anything he's the most heroic person so far in this story should tell you something

I have no idea what is going on in this manga anymore. It's medieval fantasy isekai but also rocket launchers, tanks, mechs...
READ IT again, the whole 'world' is the remnant a highly advanced theme park is implied to be the earth future.

Other than outright killing them or slipping something in their foods/drinks (tho i suppose they still need them to 'repopulate' with the local maids and any other women), I'd think they'd simply be sent off somewhere outside of a dungeon if not leaving the kingdom or so but they wouldn't rly have any reason to try to fight back against the nobility versus taking a few wives with them

if he has the 'rights' he can't rly be forced to hand them over tho right? Unless they're 'forfeited' the moment someone else beats the boss if not "The rights are already claimed, you must beat the current owner to take it over" or so

IDK, it just seems too easy for them to retire their summoned warriors into the general population as breeders. It lacks that convoluted manga logic stupidity that Japanese authors favor. Especially with everything revolving around the dungeons like they do.

Only vaguely remeber the setting rules, but at some point the MC was talking about how the dungeons were controlled. It was mentioned that dungeon control allowed him to restrict who was able to enter, and what requirements they needed to challenge certain floors.

There was also some wild setting where he would be impregnating his harem and transferring dungeon control over to the kids.

Oh and as I'm sure you've already guessed, the MC's skills let's him ignore restrictions and requirements when entering dungeons and traversing floors. Think it was something about the nobility monopolizing the dungeons, and the gods/creators wanting/needing a change to the status quo. Again, it's been a while and I can't be arsed to reread the dumpsterfire that is this novels setting.

What I wanna know is whether this mc will ever get the comeuppance he deserves.. :korone:
Rather than comeuppance, it seems like they're hinting at "setting free" the hero girls he has by taking Sky Forest, moving there, and being out of the influence of the world. Well, maybe he will get some if this move causes him and the heroes he takes there to regain their sanity.

what comeuppance does he deserve? hes just living like every man in that world does and its accepted by the goddess and the administrators as moral. he hasnt done anything wrong (in their world)

I mean, "when in Rome, rape my female classmates like the Romans" does deserve comeuppance IMO. Dude has so much power, he shouldn't be standing for something like this, much less leaping dick-first into it.

well, i do remember the 'rights being implanted into their womb/future children an 'important plot point' so maybe they have a way of protecting themselves/get royalties from it or a deal with the nobles as opposed to like, them forcing/taking the wives or kidnapping the babies after they're born or so since he called it 'insurance' and didn't seem to be worried thta they wouldn't be endangered or enslaved again/(even more?) after/in case of his death(??)

Tho skimming over chapter 1 again, the tutorial/guide fairy called it an "attraction" as opposed to some adventure/new world, maybe it's some high tech vr simulation too if them not just simply being in the future or so, but he did 'spread bribes' or so, as well as food /materials/other 'important things' being 'dropped' or so, so as long as he keeps turning in stuff and earning 'points' i don't think too many ppl would care if they 'rank up' that often (since he planned to escape during the 'deadline' anyways) since the king constantly summon heroes but you'd think there'd be plenty by now versus the ones who keep dying , if not some being relegated to being farmers/manual labors that's not fighting in a dungeon
