The story progress is so annoyingly forced. He always explained the curse part to everyone openly and in advance, even when it meant instantly lost sales, and gave the dispel spells for free. Yet now he suddenly forgets it when it's a princess doing the purchase. Right. The author couldn't be any more blatantly uncaring even if they tried to.

Bro she's the first person to actually like what he's selling, before he even had to explain the effects the item has


So it's not so weird that he gets so excited to the point where he forgets to do that


I mean the beginning of the chapter clearly stated that it's mainly adventurers and people who want the dispel talismans that are interested in his merch. Main reason he relocated to where the nobels reside

No, it is exceedingly weird. He's a curse master, that's all he does. He knows every single item he sells is cursed. You don't just forget something like that. He had kept telling that all day long to all the customers, and more importantly, he always told it right off the bat. He doesn't tell it when the customer is already handing out the money, or worse yet, when the customer is about to walk away with their purchase. He tells it when the customer is still only eyeing the merchandise. It means he knows in his very soul that selling cursed items is fundamentally kind of suspicious business, in the eyes of the large audience, and he needs to be upfront about it if he wants to maintain a good reputation. A single mistake can ruin everything. That's why you don't make even a single mistake. Except when the plot forces you to.

Again, blame that on basic psychology, and let's be real here, MC is kinda slow in the head so that didn't even surprise me when he did that

Oh my, support mage's outfit is something else.

My respect for the MC is in an all time low. Hate MCs that don't know their worth.
"Just 200% defense and insta-kill resistance." No biggie. Imagine a bunch of unwilling isekai protagonists being able to survive truck-kun.

It's kinda weird how he explains it's cursed in the last part, even though he keeps mentioning the debuffs before that. Is cursed means something different?

Wow. I was impressed that MC could deduced she was a noble, noticed about the guard, didn't get fooled when she said palace, and smart enough to disguise himself.

But then I read all these comments...

I read further (ch 13). But it seems like he told the customers his items are cursed not because he thought he was dealing with me suspicious business. It seems like he mentioned it because it was his brand so to speak. To him, being cursed was normal because he can easily remove it. But obviously that's not the case for others.

I think that's why he wasn't that guilty when he forgot to tell the princess the ring was cursed.

This makes him a really selfish and dumb and ignorant and irresponsible.

So, the support mage can put up with a lot of stuff, but poor financial decisions are what made her quit.
Because adventurers have to be prudent with their money.

It varies in different settings, but basic effect of "cursed item" is that it cannot be gotten rid of. It will find you. And it's kind of yandere when it comes to using other items. For example, if you're in a fight, and you left your cursed sword at home, it will turn out to have always stalked you so that it can jump into your hand and insist to be used instead of that slutty dagger.

Also, many games have "cursed" as a status effect with fixed values. So his items might always have that as a side effect of using them.
