He is from 100 years ago so he is not exactly new either.

TBH, I kind of want to see how the series would go if he didn't sleep for so long. Maybe it would be like the apocalypse type.

 

[Grikath]

so he was a chosen one but slept through the apocalypse, oopsie

Well... I can relate... definitely not a dayperson, and Proper Naps >>> Apocalypses.

 

[Yuyu_yusha]

Ah~~~~the usual cliche trope where MC "oopsie i break the measurement device."

 

[CheesiBoye]

Are the mycelia in the blood growing rapidly on the attribute substrate paper?

SHOCKING TRUTH

I find it really weird that the author thought of a quasi-scientific way of quantifying people's abilities and innate strength, but all of that scientific elaboration was just used to say shove in video game lingo: "It tests your levels! You level up! You have a Job!"

Yeah, it's easy to understand, but why go the lengths of thinking of how to make "level ups" make sense in their world, and yet still call it a "level up"?
Also, why call it "jobs"? Why not "spore class" or something?
It's just stupid.

 

[Mageos]

Thank you for the chapter!

It’s not that odd. Strength and power increases from consuming sporangium of other species. That was established early. That there’s a measurement system for it should be surprising. It’s been telegraphed throughout the story and especially once the girl showed up.

You don't seem to understand.
I don't find it weird that they "get stronger from eating the spores", but that it's culturally accepted to call it "level ups" and "jobs", i.e: gamified lingo is culturally acceptable by everyone? What, their scientists and leaders are all chuuni dorks?
Why bother trying to think of clever in-world, semi-scientific way of explaining how they get stronger, or why they are restricted in developing certain abilities due to their genetic compatibility -- only to dumb it all down by using video-game lingo?

And if that terminology was already used beforehand, I must have forgotten about it. Lord knows the updates are slow enough for that, and either way -- it doesn't mean it wasn't as weird beforehand.

 

[Doenyon]

Soooo... It works like midichlorians ? Oh my.

 

[ArcLife]

So in other words he is king class interesting
