is cosmetician a word? according to the spellcheck in my browser it is but I've never heard the term before, is it the same thing as a beautician or what is the difference?

Depends on where you live. In my state, there is no difference between the two words. However, everywhere else, it generally depends on your qualifications, the services you can perform, and your responsibilities. Cosmetologists are held to a higher standard and go through a more advanced training process. Beauticians usually do more basic stuff and their schools don't offer specialist courses.

The SCP reference 🤣. Based af.

 

[syst0rm]

That SCP bit would make for a glorious plot twist

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

I usually find SCP stuff to be really dumb.
But the credits page(s) was absolute peak.

"29% and treading downwards."

What the...
Both that SCP thing ( ) and the story

The dramatic fall to the knee doesn't really click with me. I've said it before and I'll say it here again; what the hell is with this Death Note-esque psychological warfare, but a Costco's off-brand knockoff? It's just weird AF he did that in front of a student, and Konno just let it slide like nothing weird had just happened. It's beyond over-dramatic for what's going on in the story.
Also the 'her brother made her understand' thing, too. It's a weird concept already and it should be something all in the head of Shinji. Higashioka happened to have the same line of thought is just weird and breaks immersion that this is just author leaking him/herself into every characters.

Also, why gave him a tragic back story that he was a misunderstood good guy only to say that, but never mind, he's actually evil now anyway. So... why should we care or sympathize then? This could work if you span it over multiple chapters, like presented him as a pervert suspect, then reveal that, no, he was framed over good intention, then subvert it again that, but now that shit storm fuck him up to be an actual bad guy. You can't do that over the span of 5 pages and think it'll work...

So it turns out these manga tropes were caused by an SCP all along!

I doubt they'll try to make him look like a misunderstood victim and it's just his version of the past that he remembers.

Couldn't care less still; that's just a difference between a bad guy that used to be good and a bad guy that deluded he used to be good.

This tracks back to author wants to have a cake and eats it too, again.
Last time they wanted to write Konno to be a pushover that got gang-raped and become a slut who got SA left and right but also seems to enjoy it to certain extent so this things keeps going on, but then also want the story to be wholesome (hello?).
This time they just want to write Higashioka to be a pure evil for the disgusting factor and what not, but at the same time also want him to be a sympathize-able villain with depth, also at the same, again, want him to be a one-time villain and doesn't want to spend to many pages developing his character. All these are clashing with each other and they just decided to cram everything together, resulting in a hot mess.

There's nothing to sympathize with, they just showed his past so you'd understand what happened. It's like watching a serial killer documentary, they tell you they was mistreated, abused, or abandoned, and you empathize with them... Until they kills 5 kid in a Walmart parking lot and all you can think is, "Fuck them!"
Knowing the past ≠ Justify actions

One difference I see is, serial killer documentaries exist because people are curious about what drives someone to commit such horrible things and they serve as case studies -- helping people recognize warning signs and possibly prevent future tragedies. But here, prevention part is out the window from the get go. Does anyone wonder why he did that, then? I think not. Most people, if not all, would just chalk it to him being horny, a pedo, a pervert, or just plainly a bad person; and that's enough to be the reason for a work of fiction like this. If you want to present the reason, fine, but it has to be interesting. This is not.

Just as not all serial killers get a documentary of their own; not all bad action needs explanation in fiction. Unless its very absurd, you generally don't have to explain it. I didn't say it was to justify his action either. Main goal to present a backstory to the villain is to give depth to the character; make them seems real and complex -- a rounded character, not a flat one. Justification or sympathy is just a mean to that end. But doing that in a span of 5 pages accomplishes nothing other than burning through pages. It's a bad writing.

I think it's kind of impressive that the mangaka could craft a backstory that aaaaaaaalmost made you forget this guy furiously ejaculated on a picture of Komaru.

I presume that effect was deliberate.

Merriam-Webster says a cosmetician is "professionally trained in the use of cosmetics" while a beautician is "licensed to provide cosmetic treatments". That implies to me that @enter51 is correct.
