You mean a lame plot vehicle to appease the pacifists and the ratings committee? :sick:

🔔Ding ding ding!🔔​
We have a winner!​

This is a literal "deus-ex-machina" as a result of editorial interference in a story, due to magazine of publication. And if the source WN has this absurd development as well -- without a darn good hook -- it's the author's fetish.

Ever wonder why JP manga have clearly evil, malicious, and sociopathic villains (whose atrocities the author thought up, planned out, wrote, and drew, mind you). Yet whom mysteriously, and spontaneously, die offscreen when it's no longer convenient for the plot for them or their acts to exist? And there's no detailed resolution or post-processing or cleanup, beyond a photo montage?
  • It is my opinion evil written in fiction -- at least in the case of recreational reading, and not-dramatic reading (like Les Miserables) -- needs resolution to the evil as complicated, gritty, and thorough as the evil they invented themself.
This is completely at odds with JP cultural trope of "aku wa satta" (thus evil was vanquished). Exploding in the background fireworks like some Power Rangers villain. It removes depth and complexity from the story -- "the censors stepped in".

Perhaps this God-Arc "Curse" was the author's meagre attempt to lampshade that. Who knows. But it's pretty frustrating to read.

There's a line between hardcore-RealSim, vomit-inducing pacifism, Aesop's morality fable, Brothers Grimm cautionary tale, and recreational fantasy reading that needs to be struck. Considering what author wrote in the speech bubbles of the bandits... this resolution is abrupt, and due to wasting an entire chapter trying to back-splain, perhaps jarring.

Edit: After reading the NovelUpdates summary on the WN, review from (Jesters Epilogue) on (February 24, 2023), it seems this is a case of "author incapable of writing beyond their personal limited experience". A writer at home who has never been on a plane can't write about travel. This is why proper authors do interviews, background research, and field studies.

just change heath as the MC
fcking moron doesnt deserve to be an mc

even if no killing is your lame "rules", disabling them is a must. break their arm or something, lest your friends get hurts (i dont care about mc though)

even with my rant, japanese lame no killing rules is still better than comics (and that's why i dont read comics), i really hate it when those so called superheroes doesnt even try to disable their opponents (villain). beat them and then what? jail them in alcatraz but also released in another chapter?? just to make them appeared again and again while the casualties is just a background noise. what a greedy bunch (the publisher) milking their comics

korean is better, at least they act like human being. not neutered person. not chinese though, most of them had no semblance of logic, just boobas and butchered story (from their ln counterparts)

Problem is that those aggregators have the isekaiscans """translation""" that at best makes it hard to understand what's happening and at worst actively diminishes your comprehension and language skills.
It's a bit hard to decipher this translation too. Takumi got mixed in the summoning of three heroes by the kingdom, which the goddess tried to prevent. But failed and sent Takumi three years into the past, as insurance in case the hero got out of hand (see chapter 22). ...But good luck figuring any of that out in the conversation between Takumi and the goddess in this chapter. :questionblob:

Damn he's not allowed to kill, eh? Is it okay for him to maim his enemies the extent that leave them to be blind, deaf, mute, castrated, paraplegic quadruple amputee? You know... Just to be sure they no longer become a threat in the future.

I hope a hot girl joins his harem soon. Though the only hot ones we've seen so far are the goddess and a priestess with glasses.

Meh, I've read those and only chapter 12 is really unreadable, all others are wonky but overall mostly fine.

MC thanks Heath for being honest; proceeds to lie to him about not being able to kill.
What a piece of shit.

Also, the idea that Japanese culture must not show killing, because then Japanese people might kill (this is a huge thing post 1945), is nothing more than an excuse to ignore the rampant history of war crimes committed against Korean, Chinese, British, and American military and civilians beginning in the 1880s.

If Germany can admit the Holocaust, and Americans can admit to having kept slaves, why can't Japan admit they did both to Korea and China?
(For that matter, why does Spain refuse to admit they kept slaves until 1900?)

Either way, this enforced ignorance and demand for ignorance at all costs, is why anything not rated R18 can't have the MC kill anybody, and always pretend that there is never a "real" problem.
It's always "Gosh darn that Genocide! Tee-hee! Well, I guess we'll be friends now that it's done! Golly, what a time! Hee hee!"

Because any real consequences to evil might make one single person ask questions in a society where some questions simply are not asked.

... It's weird, though; he can't Murder, but... that's really different from killing; like, murder has a specific definition. To murder a person is defined by the intent of the killer, so... somebody dying because they ran into a stick you're holding, or dying because ypu didnt allow others to be killed by them... those generally aren't "murder."
So... if he cannot kill humans, at all... well... better hope there's no cart accidents! Cos accidental death is way more common, even in the medieval era!

I love the fact that Clancy got a lot of the info he used for Hunt for Red October from Harpoon. He actually played out many of the scenarios from the story in the system. Harpoon is crunchy as hell.
