Kouritsu-Chuu Madoushi, Daini no Jinsei de Madou wo Kiwameru - Vol. 7 Ch. 44 - Birth of a Demon

[TNT261]

Okay wait. Why did they NOT kill the the obvious power hungry basic evil villain again? I mean with him knowing magic and being able to cause trouble without any weapons makes him and every other magic criminal pretty dangerous. Plus it’s like medieval ages, the death penalty/execution should be a REALLY obvious conclusion. Not to mention this penalty just seems unnecessarily and obviously cruel and unusual and needlessly leaves room for him to breakout and cause more trouble. Like am I missing/forgetting something from the previous chapters where they just ABSOLUTELY HAD TO keep the dangerous magic criminal alive and instead mentally break him and give him access to a space where time is distorted and his only option is to go insane or bide his time and do a lot of learning/growth/research/practice and become more of a problem, or you know.... BOTH. No seriously though, all the social, economic, and other issues with the death penalty both don’t exist and haven’t been researched yet. The literal best thing about these types of settings is they can straight up execute villains that would otherwise become a huge problem for no reasons. This is like Gotham levels of pointless punishments

why didnt they just kill him? yeah it has the ability to break his spirit, but its not like theres anything from stopping him from going insane..? that association is full of boneheads with bonehead rules lmaoo

So did they build a gate then discover isekai guns? Or did an isekai gun enthusiast give them the knowledge and then built the gate?

@LikeASkurn Well, it was an experiment. They're using him to see what it would do to prisoners. Which is still pretty irresponsible considering how they did it, but also understandable as they have this thing and they need more data on it, so they used it on him to gather data on its effects. I don't think it said how much they've used it so far, but they had an idea of its effect already so I'd assume he isn't the first test subject and that it hasn't had any problems so far. This is the turning point in their data collection that will tell them it was a terrible idea to use this thing on people I guess. I do wonder how big their sample size was before using it on him, though.

I knew something like that could happen at first yes it could be a “Punishment” but on the other hand it can be a “Blessing” and a “Gift” if you have a Strong Will to persist and make it out at the other end.

demon huh. i doubt it really, within 1000 years i think he would forget his main objective anyway. then he suddenly comes back to the present with his experience during that time. while our mc actually did the same by going back in time but he had to retrain himself while growing up which took a while before he even got to the basics of being a magician again. while 1000 years of knowledge wouldn't actually go directly to his real body, since physically his main body is just idle except his mind so... he still have to start again afterwards and needs to adjust his body again to match those knowledge which he doesn't know how long it would take to "rearrange" his entire body structure and abilities.

and thats where i drop it
why? because he is literaly in a dream even if he perfectly imagines new magic it has bo bearing on the real world as a dream will only show what the owner wants and is able to imagine....
new magic by definition is new....
so training should be impossible
secondly his magic lanes are sealed even if he wants ti develop new magic that ain't gonna happen out of thin air or everyone could do it, he needs to use his old magic lanes till he established new ones

but the author ignores all of that and even wrote a sentence about the birth of a new demon to show off how proud he/she/it is with that.... i realy feel screwed when i read this because it simply tries to sell me an old donkey as a racehorse...

and thats not why i read manga i do it because its either interesting or for enjoyment
lets face it this manga is so close to the template it could even be called an archetype so "interesting" was off the table about 3 chapters in
and my enjoyment takes a drastic nosedive when i notice someone trying to screw with me and violates their own logic because its convenient
