@ASmileToProtect wdym "how is this hard mode"?? didn't you see this dude took 7 fucking years to get to lvl 3 and he had to almost die a bunch of times to even get close to leveling up? the other kids are probably in the early 10s if not late 10s by now. this is hard mode because for one its super hard and time consuming to level up both your character and skills, and because you start off as the lowest of social classes, as a farmer (which is lover than commoner but higher than slave, given if you started as a slave it would be borderline impossible to ever level up so to make it at least a smidge fair they made him a farmer). if i remember correctly in the game, before he got reincarnated, the easy options weren't the best classes but mainly the best ways of life, so like easy mode would've been like a shite class but you were a noble or something like that. the opposite is the hardest mode gives you the best class, but its super hard to actually get to the point in which you are good because of different factors.
