Literally Embryo from Cross Ange
How do I say it? The world where the manga depicted is pretty f’ed up and it obviously doesn’t change overnight. It has been hinted that women aren’t treated this bad in the past from our true immortal friends there.Are you just now realizing that this is basically a feminist manifesto in manga form? lol
I'm enjoying it for the art and I like seeing pricks get what they deserve while cringing at how clearly "anti-patriarchy" the manga has been from the start. Just look at how it started with the MC getting kicked from her party for being a woman who should just go to the kitchen and make her man a sandwich.
That's the problem he has had a successful life, he has a list of very impressive achievements@Doomroar doesn't seem like he is a fraud. He did create Laplace, doubt she would be that powerful naturally just because of her mom, and even before then he did get a job as a court mage. And even afterwards he had been able to create all those cloned bodies, and the life-eating coins.
He is a talented mage, just really fucked up in the head all along but able to hide it from others.
That said, yeah, his plans are all around the place. I can understand trying to create weapons to keep his job since his actual focus was not doing so well, but at some point things got all messed up. I blame him being secretly fucked in the head all along.
Sorry if I didn't make it clear. I enjoy this manga and I'm not shitting on it. I was just pointing out that the story has been extremely heavy handed with how male chauvinist and outright misogynistic the men in this world are. To suddenly be surprised that Maxwell is the way he is just didn't make sense to me if the other commenter was paying attention.Also, no need to shit the author
No, this is far FAR worse than how women were treated in the middle ages. In the manga's world women are basically told to walk around in tiny bikini armor so they can be eye candy and to step aside so that men can take all the glory. All because one jerk with a inferiority complex couldn't take it that his female coworkers thought he was a creep with no talent.i mean it's essentially a world where you take todays way women are treated (way better than the past) and made it regress to the Middle Ages which had women treated like shite.
i was meaning more that back then women were treated like shite and second class humans who's only role were to make babies. this is very similar to how women are treated in this manga. Back then women werent allowed to do anything without a male's permission and if they tried to they were often killed because of it.No, this is far FAR worse than how women were treated in the middle ages.

Your main villain needs to be more cohesive than this, what is his goal really?
To become immortal? to be recognized and acknowledged? to create the perfect mass produced weapon? to create the strongest weapon? to get the ideal bride?
What is really his deal, he is all over the place, is like he doesn't knows what he wants
And worst of all, getting the perfect obedient immortal powerful bride
Is not gonna earn him any praise, nor is gonna make him himself immortal, and is not something that can be mass produced for everyone to use and have, in fact it is more trouble than it is worth, it a bunch of nonsense
There's nothing more frustrating than villains that are this dumb, it make me angry at the one writing, it takes me out of the story by breaking consistency
"But you see, he is a misogynist, loser, so as a good for nothing, it makes sense for him to make no sense, his hatred of women is irrational, and as thus his goals should be equally full of bullshit"
Yeah, except that, he is allegedly also supposed to be a competent mage, who managed to become a court magician, and attain enough capital, both economic, social, and political, to get married to a priestess with dragon god blood
Even if his peers never respect his loser ass, it was shown in history, that he supposedly is not a complete incompetent dumbass, but the moment we see things from his POV, turns out that he is actually just a fraud, so...
How can a fraud be a fraud and still get this far in life?
