The US way has it’s own drawbacks since it’s going to overcrowd the lower levels in a gold rush and adventuring is too new to have much regulations.
The US and other developed countries generally don’t have economies based on raw manufacturing and what industries they do have for that are critical for national security. Look at all the troubles the US is having at it’s own food stability thanks to ICE right now and toss in a similar situation caused by a competing industry that has easier work and the benefit of becoming superhuman. Their military no longer has desperate poor people to recruit because the poor people can do the same fighting with more benefits. Who would honestly work retail when they could just adventure for a few hours? The plummeting raw materials prices for lower levels is gonna be it’s own issue from oversaturation but that part is really inevitable since there are plenty of other countries with the raw manpower to cause that same trouble worldwide on their own. Inflation is going to skyrocket even faster than they are currently as they try to squeeze the nouveau rich adventurers for money. There does need to be something to limit the ratio of adventurers compared to any other profession and going all in is a recipie for civil unrest.
If the US does succeed in Zerg rushing dungeons like that there are going to a a whole bunch of casualties.
I’m also extremely wary of the fact that he’s trying to get his daughter powerleveled. By giving her the raw power to destroy anyone in her way the US president is laying the foundation for a monarchy If/when the current system collapses.
Fair points, to be honest, but it was the middle of the night for me and I was too tired to think too much.
So, while it is for sure a better system to motivate people to go adventuring, if everyone and their grandmother go, it will swamp the market with resources and prices will drop, so yeah, the opposite issue... Probably the best way is a way somewhere between these two ways as you point out, something like a test you need to pass to get an adventurer's license before you are allowed to enter dungeons but once you get there, you have a good life. Something like that.
Zerg rushing is not so unthinkable for the US as for, let's say, European countries, to be honest, but yeah, being too greedy would lead to avoidable casualties, that's sure.
The monarchy thing is a good point, it's entirely possible that this is the endgoal of the US president (speaking of the fictive one, for the real one, well, there it is an open secret).
Anyway, I read in a comment under a previous chapter that the Japanese government might have intentionally decided on this tax stuff. so let's see if this is true and how it will turn out. The way how the MC is already thinking of going somewhere else to life gives us an idea, I'd say.
