Ikitsuku Saki wa Yuusha ka Maou ka - Ch. 10 - A Realistic World

[Elrinion]

I dunno, why the hell every time these isekai MC has some doubts, the go to action is almost always "yeah, let spill all the spaghetti I have to random strangers"? And that part about becoming a demon lord, isn't that all on him if he's shitty human with poor self-control? Nobody forcing him to "exploit" the isekai's gamey system, it's just there. He could just choose not to.


He basically become a doormat to pretty much anybody with a modicrum of power, according to some of the reviews. The manga already shows a bit of that when he's dealing with guild staffs. So the dropoff point is probably in an arc or two.

That really isn't how it goes. He actually becomes sort of a cruel murderhobo once he finds that he can get skills from people he kills. At the current point in the story. He's a king of his own small fief, and is currently at war with one of the other reincarnators. Which means he can kill soldiers by the tens of thousands.

Telling the natives how the world works does not benefit yourself unless you actively want to team up with them and make them stronger.

And because he currently is avoiding doing that there is only things to lose by doing so.
Granted, they might not believe him in the first place.

In a way I get it. If I was summoned to another world and found I had the potential for near limitless power that I could track, I'd be a bit dismissive of the world too. Why not seek ultimate power to live by my own rules? Why not rule the world or at least a good corner of it? Why not cut down those in my way or those I deem worthy of death?

"Not the height but the precipice is terrible. That precipice where the glance plunges down and the hand reaches up. There the heart becomes giddy confronted with its double will. Alas, friends, can you guess what is my heart's double will?"

"This, this is my precipice and my danger, that my glance plunges into the height and that my hand would grasp and hold on to the depth. My will clings to man; with fetters I bind myself to man because I am swept up toward the overman; for that way my other will wants to go"

"And therefore I live blind among men as if I did not know them, that my hand might not wholly lose its faith in what is firm."

The last hit thing should never appear outside of single player games, where it obviously either doesn't matter or the single gamer playing the game can control it perfectly for the party by micromanagement. Anywhere outside of SP, be it a game or a novel/manga, it's pure bullshit. Some isekai authors are aware of that and make fun of it, in a manner of speaking, but that, then, begs the question of why the author included it in the first place. I'm not the greatest connoisseur of Japanese RPG games, but could it be the Japanese studios never use a different system in their games? The Japanese are rather extreme traditionalists, so I could see them stubbornly sticking to it.

"Because of my personality, I might become a Demon Lord fr fr tehe~ ;P

So then should I tell my secret to some kids whom I don't even want to party with, just because?"
