Hi! First time uploading! Feedback highly wanted and appreciated.
Was wondering if I could get some help with proofreading.
If anyone want to take over, please contact me through either mangadex forum conversation or discord: MacaronAndCheese#1342
I would also be willing to help with typesetting and redrawing.
Also, is it possible to change status to "completed" and add the third volume's cover? or is that admin only?

Ah the classic "lets hide your skill". If this was an isekai sure but it's not, shes in a game, this & any fame from it should be a positive not a negative.

Maybe it's cuz asian MMO means there's all kinds of hierarchy, market manipulation and skill stealing all over the place, but it doesn't seem like that kind of story...
Could be that this random person is a manipulative bitch trying to hog advantages but yet again, not that kind of story right?

Hiding skills doesn't make a lot of sense when the skills are relatively common and you're just trying to hide your strength, but in this case she has a skill that is exceptionally rare or unheard of and breaks aspects of the market. Because the skill was not something that is awarded freely upon character customization and requires certain conditions to be met, she would be constantly pestered by other players if word got out she had such a skill. Even if she posted a guide somewhere walking people through her exact steps leading up to acquiring the skill, there would still be people that approach her directly for lessons or to recruit her as well as people coming to hassle or scam her out of rare loot.

It's also worth noting that she was looking at some window before she says that the skill should be kept secret, but knew beforehand that there are ways to capture monsters and have them dismantled. Most likely, there are other methods or skills to capture monsters, but the [Apprehend] skill has some special aspects that make it more useful or more dangerous. Judging by the name, it hand probably be used to detain players or NPCs in such a way that would result in her being used or targeted by unsavory individuals (eg, PK guilds and slavers)

So you believe in the asian MMO story culture problem, is how it sounds.

If it was a real game harrassment would not work well because ignoring blocking and reporting, any MMO worth playing will not allow these worrisome elements to grow to the point of scaring players into hiding, there's no point in playing an MMO in the first place if you have to be worried about other players griefing you every step of the way.

Or like, yes greifing is real, but the damage done should not be enough to severely damage your game experiance, if it is then the game company will no doubt go bankrupt.

Eh, the primary dumb part is having a skill that improves loot drops by such a huge amount at level 1. Noone would ever design their economy that way, even the pay2win ones(they would make it less obviously strong and more expensive).

More like, for proper game design, such a skill shouldn't be rare. It should just be considered the main way to get drops for monsters you can defeat easily. the market wouldn't be affected if the skill was mainstream. That being said it is unrealistic that the game released, with such an important skill not being made readily accessible.

The skill being busto is prb because MC is the special little flower (MC) with some prophecy or whatever and maybe some special purpose that some NPCs seem to know of.
But thats really besides the point of this nonsense skill hiding... Or is this other girl also "in the know"? That would make her motives to befriend MC just as disturbing as wanting to hog her skill.

From the way Roulette was talking before the skill was revealed, similar methods and skills aren't incredibly rare and are at least known to exist. However, since you have to actually put the skills into practice before you can acquire skills in that game, it is very likely that most players wouldn't want to bother putting in the effort to obtain the skill, or that the skills require some trait that isn't very common. (such as low enough STR to not actually damage the target) It may even actually be fairly common for people to capture weak monsters for dismantling, and to have a skill for that, but [Apprehend] is actually more powerful than you think.

Report and block only go so far, what are you going to do when you log in for the day and find your inbox filled with thousands of friend requests and direct messages? You gonna just sit there and block every player in the entire server and report all of them for harassment when they keep approaching you directly? Or maybe you'll just find yourself constantly getting PK'd while returning to town because people think you must be loaded with rare loot and captured monsters.
Or maybe no one would care because that general kind of skill isn't actually that rare, but some savory types catch wind of the skill and rope you into some scheme to destroy a town with you none the wiser.

EDIT: I should also point out that it is a VR game with full sensory feedback, so you might report the harassers and PKs so they get banned, but that isn't going to stop the mental trauma from being harrassed and murdered repeatedly.

Thousands of messages? What are these, players or bots? Logically they should have their own lives and only some very special bored people would care enough about the game to bother someone based on a rumor, and even then why would it be malicious? Would more likely be people geniunely curious about the rumor/skill, might even be fun to reply to a few of them.

Why would you assume that PKers would gain anything by killing someone? Why would you assume that PK is a system in the game? Sure it's VR with freeeeeeedom, but since it's a VR world with interactive NPCs, there should also be some kind of legal system or rule system, guards aggroing frequent PKers or whatever. The devs would add such a system even if the NPC society didn't require it to make sense.

Destroy a town? Why would they need MCs skill for that, if it's possible in the game then there would logically be a system around it, like building new towns and whatnot, I don't see what the problem would be, unless you want to scream bloody murder for the NPCs dying?

Well, if her skill were to be made public, she'd be inundated with friend requests, threats, and petitions.
She could also be in danger of getting blackmailed or extorted.
Any normal person would eventually quit altogether, due to the stress and frustration.
Imagine any old-school MMORPG, with extra rare drops having 0.001% drop chance. Now, imagine a player having 100% drop chance. They'd upend the economy, and every guild would want to recruit them and use them as a plow-horse.

If you add the VR dimension unto it, the player could be subjected to legitimate torture and psychological abuse, since there's complete sensory feedback.

You're assuming that they have consequences for PK, but basically no MMO does. Any MMO you play that has the possibility of PK has no repercussions for PK unless it is conducted within city limits, all protections disappear once you step outside the gates.

Take all that, and add in the possibility that her skill has possibility to bring LIVE monsters into town undetected.

Go back and read pages 33&34. It was well known since the beta that there were ways to capture monsters to have them disassembled, but Roulette specifically reacts to the fact that it's the [Apprehend] skill that was used. No confusion over what the skill does nor how it works, just almost terrified panic and great worry. It's not the fact that Mari captured a monster using a skill, it's which skill she used, and not because the skill is new. There is more to that skill than meets the eye, and something about that skill is enough to terrify someone that was, presumably, a beta tester.
