Jinmyaku Cheat de Hajimeru Hitomakase Eiyuu-tan - Vol. 2 Ch. 16 - Secret

Hiding secret when you kept begging for someone to help you doesn't sit very well to me

I feel like this has kind of written itself into a corner. Net is useless because he can't fight at all. He's unwilling to use his connections to murder the king which is fair enough though cheapened a little by him pining for blackmail material for the king. No one in the area can kill the thing. Net's only talent is that people like him so he can't actually come up with a technology or tactic to kill it. Him just walking in to die against the dragon would feel kind of satisfying as an ending to the series.

Honestly I think they basically to need to really quickly evolve Net's character in some way. It's hard to care about a character like Net for very long because without an actual talent he'll eventually start seeming like a freeloader to the audience. I already kind of think of him as someone who only lives off the abilities of others and not through his own genuine efforts. If he had like an actual job I would probably like him more but he's just a wanderer still.

She is hiding a loli dragon!!!! 😭😭😭

 

[Slingerman]

They were counting on our horniness keeping us from seeing the princess has monster eyes.

The whole network thing reminds me of the later volumes of Mushoku Tensei. This dudes kids are going to have so many suitors.

Anticipating seeing this guy grow under pressure. Thanks for the chapter!

Or like, regularly showing off that he's using some of his connections to help others. Someone in a bind? Maybe Net knows the perfect person to help them, and after all, they helped out Net that earlier time! Stuff like that. It doesn't need to be deep, just giving us some reason why everyone thinks he's a cool duder worth helping out.

She's hiding her big bonkers.

Thanks for the release

 

[craneistall]

i have a feeling net will somehow make a connection with the poison dragon

 

[Antinomy]

Already seen it before, but man, the Princess has a fine ass.
When MC pounds her, more like if he ever does, should be anal. 10/10

Thanks for the TL

Don't lie to your doctor, in this case, don't lie to your associate that who might end you with one call to homies.

 

[musicfreak12]

What, is the top shelf secret is her being a dragon?

 

[CraniumAmbiguity]

Was he on her bed when he flicked something shiny with his boot earlier this chapter? Then if I am right the appraisal shop will determine it to be a dragon scale. Although this isn't a very big shock since we all already suspected she was a dragon even before that naked mirror page.

The real twist is if she is actually a slime that has been masquerading as the saint princess since the accident.

 

[Ninoren]

They except him to help them out, or die, for something he is entirely unrelated to and all that for free, while continuesly lying to him

He better be leaving that country too afterwards, cause they honestly kinda suck

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

I prefer page 12 Lucila

I know I’m diving deep in sociopolitical territory, but… I do wish that if a character is going to be made with as intricate and complex disposition as a “master of connections”, that they would dive deeper into the various things that he is involved in. In doing so, you’d find some glaring holes that just smell of bs. He is in charge of a mercenary group, as well as a few orphanages within various countries. Orphanages are famous for having been exploited ruthlessly by various organizations, including nobility. How are you going to protect them without crossing his, perceived, bottom line? He can’t fight that well, not compared to a small private army. And mercenaries… especially in a medieval-like setting here? Unless they are the most super soft bunch that hug to incapacitate, they have done quite a few unsavory acts against other humans, possibly even good-aligned, just not to their standards or just part of their job. And yet, threats, deception, fraud are within his no no square? It’s really thin. It’s thin enough that this whole thought process came up within a couple seconds of him stating his no go zone. Power level of a trained commoner, but with the importance of a semi global shadow government leader, his whole existence is a threat and yet “he doesn’t do that”…..
