Mushoku Tensei ~Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu~ - Ch. 93 - A Big Brother's Conflict

[Nyaaa]

I doubt that plays any concrete role anymore. It has been an excuse for her to not get close to Rudy, but isn't her anguish due to a lack of self-confidence and an abundance of self-pity? Aisha is a genius, no matter how you look at it, and she has been tormenting the not-genius Norn since the beginning. Rudeus isn't a genuine genius, per se, but he's as much of an apparent genius as one could be. He was never a real child in that world, thus mastering everything very young, plus, by coincidence, he has a godly mana pool, silent magic casting, and such. So, from Norn's point of view, the big brother is another unreachable genius. I don't believe Norn's problems are any more or any less than this, though I suppose the next chapters will tell the truth.

It's not by "coincidence" though. He worked hard for that mana pool and silent casting.

If he didn't work hard, he'd only have like 3x or 4x the average mage (iirc, it was written somewhere like that).

Sometimes not saying anything is the best answer. People who come, even if they mean well, to tell you whatever they think is best like “cheer up”, “dont give up” or “life will get better” doesnt help, if the person suffering knew how to “cheer up”, they wouldnt be in a depressed situation in the first place, and all of those comments sound so patronizing that it hurts more than it helps. So, stay there, dont talk, and wait for the person to seek help themselves, they only need to know that you are there and can be counted on, no “cheer up” stuff… although forcing it out of them could also be a way but, its hard to do.

It's still a coincidence because it's not like he would have known beforehand his training would do that and thus he would have done it on purpose. In some other isekai, which are game based, the MC knows exactly how the game works and can thus exploit it to its full potential. That's all I meant.

No seriously, I'm actually curious how to handle this kind of situation.
My uncle family has the same problem with their youngest daughter. I'm not really close with them, So I don't know if they manage to fix it or not.
 I wonder if someone who study human psychology can give a solution to Rudy's situation.

Her issue is being compared to others and feeling like a failure, even though she's average and good enough.
The solution is usually getting the mind set of being the best version of yourself and stop comparing yourself to others.
Cognitive therapy with finding those automatic negative thoughts and trying to find better, more healthy mind patterns can probably also help.
Otherwise showing empathy and understanding. Doing changes small steps at a time and building routines and habits slowly. Doing things that gives you a sense of accomplishment, and avoid doing things that makes you feel like a failure (can be avoided by taking things slowly, though you'll always need to go out of your comfort zone to improve).
Instead of saying the things that are bad with isolating yourself, like being lonely and missing out on friends and family, developing anxiety and depression, not achieving the things one want in life and not getting an education and work, it'd probably be better focusing on good aspects with getting out. Focusing on stuff like wouldn't you feel better and feel a little brighter if you went out for a walk and did some activity, wouldn't it be nice hanging out with friends and having some fun, wouldn't it be fun doing something that gives your life fun and meaning? Saying things from a positive and constructive way instead of negative and criticism sort of way helps a lot, even though it's in essence the same things being said. It's not always what you say, but how you say it. With empathy and understanding.
It's really hard to help someone who isn't motivated or mature enough to see the point or wanting to help themselves though. Most likely they need to grow and reflect and little before they're able to do something with their life, and see the patterns of how things work. You can't always just say that you'll feel better if you do this and that, they'll need to understand themselves that they'll be better doing this and that. Working with their understanding and what's the main issue so they can help themselves will probably take priority then. In other words, you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped honestly.

the thing is Rudeus experienced the "not saying anything" and backfired completly.... destoryed hislife and any chance of reconciliation.... so its hard for him to take this route

i like how the author's tackling really hard hitting questions and its not just an isekai where you forget your hardships from your old life and just battle things out, as the grand daddy of the isekai genre they did something that most isekai wouldn't even touch on, which is having a super sucessful older sibling and a younger sibling having an inferiority complex as a result

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

 

[Hikage255]

would be nice if these chapters are longer, we'll never catch up or keep pace with the LN at least until it finishes

 

[Wildfire_desu]

Mushoku Tensei is really a well done story. Wish Isekai stories stop choosing mediocre way and get inspired by Mushoku Tensei instead.

economics says no. look into how these magazine published works are made and distributed, and how they make their money. it's just not as easy as it may seem.

Thanks for the chapter 👍🏼

It is sad to see because this is a common problem and yet few know what to do in this situation. For as smart as humans are there are many problems we are unable to see the solution to and even if we do employing said solutions may be more difficult than coming up with the solution itself.

A quick idea would be to get Norn a ring like the princess uses so she can look like someone else then doesn't have to be known as Rudy's sister. Though I that wouldn't fix the underlying problem.

 

[kaminomikan]

forgot how this got solved in the end...

 

[Derpthenerd]

this story is so damn good when the mc isnt being a trope pervert (pedophile)

 

[nekoking]

Man, the typesetting is so bad in the first part, the second typesetter should really teach the other guy how to at least do basic typesetting.
