Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let's Be A Novelist) is a Japanese website where anyone can post their own web novels - think Archive Of Our Own, but for more original works. A large amount of light novels started out there.
Yo, just wanted to add that the reason he can't help the elf girl is cause she has a slave collar just like Atie and Mr. Arsonist could have her collar kill her immediately for 'abandoning him'.
Help how? He doesn't know how to remove a salve collar.
In DnD, that would give you Chaotic or Evil alignment points.
This guy is Neutral Evil
Arsonist-san is unconscious so maybe there's a way but that's not where the author wanted to go with the story.
A sadistic cheetoh?
Just call it syosetu, since that's the actual website and what people are most likely to recognize or be able to find when searching the term.
No it wouldn't, because the intent was to save the mother from the grief of the confirmation of her son's death, rather than the vain hope that he might still be alive and just ran off on an adventure for medicine for his dad, like he said he was going to do when he was leaving. The fact that so many of y'all don't understand that is why he didn't tell her at its core is pretty worrying in terms of your understanding of this series, too; given multiple people keep saying he should have freed the elf shows that they completely forgot about (or never understood) how the slave collars work, too.
i don't know but it's hilarious that it ends with "oh well, at least that's over now"
