death flag?
well the title does mention something about him potentially becoming a 'demon lord' so i expect something to happen where he's OP and has some power fantasy unless the annoying god interferes or so, tho younger body aside i guess he didn't get any 'skills'. Tho if it does work 'like a game' maybe he can be 'escorted' by like a 50 level adventurer to basically mooch EXP from, but i can see a bunch of 'annoying brats/entitled young newbies doing so, if not them 'throwing them in the middle of the battlefield'/fight or flight/like how some animals throw their kids into water or so , sink or swim, like that scene with Tondemo and the fenrir forcing that MC to go into the dungeon)

Not really surprising the author didn't bother, but MC really should get a helmet of some sort.

Thinking back on it, other than some 'samurai' outfits or knight uniforms, helmets are pretty rare for adventurers to be seen in (tho if more isekai had that i'd expect it to be 'hidden helmet removed to show long haired beauty' cliche XD)

thats because hair style is often used to signify if a character is important or not. So to cover up the head removes the "look at me, I'm important" visual cues that are atypical to manga and anime.

lol yeah, despite a lot of the isekai protags having the same short hairstyle, tho his is slightly spiky and gelled? as an adult, but i mean it'd prolly be good to have that during battle as opposed to just like, sleeping in one unless he had a reason for hiding his face

Tho be interesting to see a serious full on bald chara versus the MC from OPM

Edit: looking back on chapter 11 there was a mom and son(?) who was wearing some like pots?/cookware as makeshift head protection lol

I love that it goes iron>copper as if to imply that it goes to more beautiful material ((i don't think there's a lot of iron rings, but copper rings are pretty popular)later it has silver and gold too!) but then it goes copper>bronze implying that it goes by strength, but then iron is better that both of them, but then bronze>silver>gold so it's beauty?? But then gold>mithrill>damascus>adamantium. Probably the worst material progression i have seen, most of them would make iron somewhere in the middle and then go into stronger materials.

And yes i see that it's done "arbitrarily", still doesn't excuse this abomination.

Yeah, the one that got me was damascus being above mithril. Don't get me wrong Damascus steel is though and can be absolutely gorgeous but it's no fantasy metal.
