@Flosteriend Indeed, they aren't just determining how their characters will perform in a fight. Being an attractive specimen from a long lived and trusted species would as useful or more than being good in a fight in the long run.

In the first chapter, Rook became suspicious and then suddenly realized that he had made character choices that he didn't remember making. This further increases his paranoia and is one of the main reasons why he didn't follow his friends. And in the flurry of system messages, there are things like "Selecting a donor," and "Subject successfully breaking out of the mental manipulation."

Spoiler

Everyone was given the illusion of making choices, but they were all manipulated into making the choices that they did. The bad feelings that people were feeling were them realizing that something was wrong, but being manipulated into overlooking it.

@GurenNoOu they didn’t say “holy one” but rather holy name / sacred title.
His original character name was Bishop.

 

[GurenNoOu]

@Shirobane First panel of page 14 "The absence of the holy one..." is what the emperor says. They did say 'holy name' a few times before that, so his name 'Bishop' might be part of the reason why he is the 'holy one', but his role as healer and his apparently high light affinity are probably the biggest reasons.

 

[Shirobane]

@GurenNoOu the terms are “Seinaru Mono” (聖なる者) and “Seinaru Shougou” (聖なる称号)

No maps? Are the people of that country retarded? Maps are vital for trade, travel, spreading news, using natural resources, understanding the wold they live in, etc. And any invader is going to send spies and scouts to learn the layout, so they would be making their own maps anyway.

Did he get sent to the the same world as his friends? He didn't appear where he selected to go and the people have never heard of the country his friend went to.

 

[dtim]

So he might have been manipulated into picking quarter-angel as race. His rationale of working at a shrine was pretty weak.

 

[Kuyu]

Almost every chapter there is something retarded with the MC.
"I hope they got out of the mental manipulation" - how. in. the. world. would. they. When you didn't even tell them about it?!
Also... all that gathering magic to the core, whatever sh*t... he was using magic easily without any of that earlier... but now he suddenly needs to do all that misc. stuff? wtf.

MC realizes an important point: to survive, focus on your crotch.

😲

 

[Will_Madden]

[krutou]

In the midst of everyone shitting on the dumb MC, anyone notice the tank holding his shield upside down?

 

[Gravewind]

Them are some aggressive herbivores. And light ball melted that goblin's face off for a good reason, apparently.

@Eclipse01 Making it a "no map" world is a lazy writer's tool for not having to develop or explain much about the world. Very convenient, right? 😞

Eh, in a medieval world, maps aren't as vital as people seem to think, especially for commoners. One thing that was used a lot, at least in medieval England, and I imagine the rest of Europe, was an itinerary. If you were in town A, and you wanted to go to town D, you didn't follow a map, you followed your itinerary. You know you're at town A, you know you need to go to town B next, so ask around, the locals will know, since it's the next town (or village, or city) over. Then you need town C, then finally town D. No map needed. This is also where a word for traveller, itinerant, comes from.

A town or city could have it's own itinerary, listing the path of towns/villages/cities/etc that you'll want to pass through to get to various places around the country.

When it comes to things like war however, maps are very useful, but planning and running wars are normally the realm of the wealthy, ie: people with access to maps. Remember that they'd all be mapped by eye while travelling (or even descriptions by people who have been there), and drawn up/copied by hand. No aircraft, satellites, computers, or fancy "drawing machines" to make shit easy.

Search youtube for "Lindybeige medieval transport" if you're interested in this stuff.

Why would anyone choose to stay chubby at rebirth? Too much SP to be a thin or fit?

 

[MsLilly]

@kenkagejack
Well extra fat is good in a survival situation, as long as you're just chubby/overweight and not like double the size you should be. And who knows what situation you'll end up in when you're in another world. Iirc there's a dude who didn't eat any food for over a year and survived cause he was so fat. So extra fat is great if you don't know how easy/hard it is to get food. Plus as an adventurer you probably burn a ton of calories so you can loose weight the regular way.

Of course in this case everyone treated the situation like a videogame with barely any stakes so you have a point.
Maybe you can't edit your avatar? Or just edit the face/hair/colours.

Why does it look like he has a uterus in page 23?
