Well like they said,Dude decided to stand and skipped school, decided to go hash way a full of gamble, interesting, I will invest into this and see how it goes from there....
It's a manga trope where the parents treat the kids with salutary neglect. They don't parent because society will judge them more upon their social standing than their parenting but get mad when the lack of guidance affects them personally/socially. They remarried because single parenting is stereotypically frowned upon in Japan.What's the deal with the parents? It sounds pretty rough (and unusual) for both step-siblings to be neglected by both parents equally. And then MC says that he's still thankful for being born and for the money, while his 'father, the lawyer' did keep trying to get in touch with him. Are they really unloving or just always absent?
Wait, so that was her in the beginning? I thought they looked similar but at the same time they didn’t.The premise isn’t new but the MC is likeable so I’ll be interested to see where this goes.
Kinda a strange dynamic for his harem to include his (step?) sister and his classmate… hopefully that comes together in a comedic way.
Right? I had to go back and really compare them again since at the beginning of the chapter everyone looks years older not months. Probably something to do with leveling and stats.Wait, so that was her in the beginning? I thought they looked similar but at the same time they didn’t.
I'm guessing the bully and his cronies will try to SA the classmate and sister in the dungeon and they will be saved by the MC.With everyone being so shitty I have the sinking feeling that something bad is going to happen to the sister.
She has that "too precious" aura and feel like some harm will be inflicted to motivate MC... especially since i'm guessing the bully will be involved.

Is this how the average reader of Rooftop Sword Master views the world?One of the reasons why I hate school is bullied. Happens to me, happens to my friend, and it happens to others. I wish we had a law punishment for bullying. Especially a death sentence or jail for more than 30 years.
Unfortunately, it is a trope because there are some really bad parents in Japan, and work situations which when combined with Japanese cultural expectations will easily lead to horrible absent parents. Lots of Manga tropes are things that are from the worst parts of what is common to happen in Japan.It's a manga trope where the parents treat the kids with salutary neglect.

It is bad in many places, but apparently much more so in Japan with most teachers turning a blind eye, part of why it is so common in Manga and WNs, the groups that tend to be write and read them are also the ones most likely to be a victim of bullying.Seeing an line like "a bullied kid like you" from a teacher really strikes a chord.
Yea I've viewed manga as a reflection to Japanese society that there must be truth behind the portrayal.Unfortunately, it is a trope because there are some really bad parents in Japan, and work situations which when combined with Japanese cultural expectations will easily lead to horrible absent parents.

Form glancing at the WN (Novel Updates lists a group as translating it, but my antivirus is blocking the translators site for malware concerns so just a quick MTL check) the I think both are workaholics, and likely more concerned their image and job then being a parent.
