MC is a normal isekai protagonist suffering from daydream syndrome.
The fact he is truly living in a world based ona game he played still didn't click fully in his mind, the fact he only have one life and there are no respawns, the weight of the people around him, he is still going with the flow that is not his reality.
His common sense being twisted on the money is tourist syndrome, he is used to the yen so having a ton of money in a foreing country doesn't click right, he is thinking of himself as tourist.

That's a common space mercenary problem, it seems. They all make mad bank, and it messes with their heads a little. Even poor Mimi's starting to get used to it. There's a few points in the books where she gets worried that throwing around this much cash feels natural.

He's just never lived the normal life, so he's got no frame of reference. On the upside, he blows it all on ships and amenities instead of liqour and women... but then, he has enough women already(and he's not done yet!).

Like a nouveau rich not thinking about keeping money for the future in a way, even if MC does say at the start he wants to have 1 mil in the bank at all times for insurance.
Other mercs don't make that much money because they have the right mindset of only 1 life, normal ships and the experience by living like that, even the elf recognizes MC luxury lifestyle when she joined.
MC makes a ton of money not only for his ship but because he continues to fight like if is a game.

Hiro just got the experience of several life or death situations from when it was a game (aside of his power to slow down time) combined with a ship the size smaller than a corvette but nearly as strong as a cruiser that is cheap to maintain (low ammo costs) and hard to be scratched (strong shields), which lets him earn a lot at extremely low costs; while at the same time he's also enjoying the job he's doing basically non-stop and ends in ridiculous situations that don't even let him even take a vacations.

He knows when he's dead it's over and doesn't treat it as a game, but the fight with crystal life forms is just muscle memory for him since they're simple minded creatures that he knows all too well (See Beleberum Federation fight).
And the 1 Mil was just at the beginning before he was about to move to other colony, but while buying the ship he had 32 million but was willing to spend only 25 million (he spent about 20 million in the end, all discounts included).

Yes, his money sense is fried from multiple factors.

Is true that he had experience from the game, but that was a game, and his experience was playing on a computer screen, i recheked the first chapter and it wasn't the usual VR setup thing, I presume it was something similar to Microsoft Flight Simulator on steroid as all the controls he knew at heart mirrored in the ship after he got isekaied, but even with that it was a complete different experience, and he is using tactics from a game where the enemy AI stay the same on reality, gambling not only his own life, that's daydreamer sydrome, that everything will go right and if it doesn't..eh.

Well tactics against crystals from game can be used 1:1 in his reality but these are really simple creatures. But yeah against other people, well, the pirates are just weaklings so they have no chances anyway. So that leaves the fight against the military ships, which he had two already, and other mercenaries but he had scored a platinum rank result on the first try.
He clearly can be confident in his skills.

I understand you since in the novel he mentions that this is not a game or his knowledge might not be applicable here since it isn't a game and you might not feel it as much in the manga. Although, you can see his hesitance about it all when he fights the gang to free Wiska even in the manga, so I think it really comes down to confidence in his skills and his ship's abilities, since his ship has three layers of shields and he even has 5 cells that can restore the shield while still in combat. It's not easy for anyone to take it down unless he takes a direct hit from a battleship, and that might be just as unlikely as it is likely for him to get into trouble at his every stop.

Yes, MC does bring up how fighting on the field is different, his space battles don't hit him much in the psyche, when he fought in the colony it fel "real".
You read the novel, could you spoil me if the scientist woman ever joins the crew or if the thing about him selling his blood, that I still feel was a incredibly retarded story arc, ever gets anywhere?
