S-Kyuu Boukensha ga Ayumu Michi: Tsuihou Sareta Shounen wa Shin no Nouryoku 'Buki Master' de Sekai Saikyou ni Itaru - Ch. 2.1

[Trodsen]

I am going to ask your forgiveness and say I ain't reading all that. So if I miss a point you made, sorry.

I realize my position as reader gives me certain information the protagonist doesn't. That doesn't really address the issue I have with the fact that the escalation doesn't make sense.

There's nothing to gain from him being killed after getting booted from the party. It doesn't harm their reputation he is alive, everyone thought he was dead weight at that point. He certainly had no way to threaten them physically or other wise. It's either a net 0 or a loss if they were caught.

Coupled with their long history, even if the relationship was soured it wouldn't be crazy to want some confirmation, even if it's just a verbal confrontation.

I DO think that the initial betrayal allows him to make that assumption, especially in the moment, but two years on he doesn't even question events? Especially she's apparently not trying to kill him anymore? She attempted murder because she didn't keep her promise to be big and famous together doesn't really hold up to scrutiny, it does makes sense when it's fueled by his own anger and possibly self loathing for not being "good enough".

The real question here is why he would even question his beliefs. Picture this situation:

MC already had low self-esteem from the getgo due to him feeling inferior to the party he was in.
He's then kicked out with only the "we want to move up ranks and you're an obstacle" spiel.
He's then ignored by the former party for 2 months, while getting verbally abused by virtually everyone in the guild(which is weird considering the guild master is apparently very close to him, but that's beside the point).
At this point instead of trying to talk anything out, the girl that kicked him out suggests to him a gathering spot for herbs.
Said point ends up with him almost dead and costs him an eye, then for the next 2 years, he gets no contact whatsoever with the direct responsible for his almost death.

How could you suppose someone on this situation would start questioning anything? All this looks like is someone guilty running away from facing you.

Time skip doesn't bother me bro, it's cool that they didn't drag out the drama and showed him moving on to being a solo adventurer.

I'll see if I have time to finish the next 2.2 chapter today, I at least want to get the whole chapter 2 out asap, before starting on chapter 3, which last i checked was only at part 1 maybe 2 now? no promise, I do have plans for today so not sure if I'll have enough time.

 

[Kimochi-kun]

You didn't read anything of what I wrote, that perfectly addresses what you originally asked in your original post,and much of this one btw....

As for the final part. Hyce knows that:
A: the entire Party is not powerful enough to kill him even if they try, as I said in my initial post that you did not read , the man soloed an SS+ monster that requires a whole S rank party to take down.

B: If they did try to kill him again after the first time and failed, they would have no excuse this time around and Hyce would wipe them out in retaliation, plus the guildmaster would know that Hyce's claim was correct in his accusation in the unlikely case they succeeded .

C: In the two years that have passed Sasha has not even bothered to apologize to Hyce for sending him there even as a mistake, the Party left the town for a quest while he was still unconscious.

I can understand them "accidentally" send Hyce to the Black Dragon. They didn't knew the dragon were there.

What i don't understand is C.
2 whole years? No apologize at all?
The other party member not apologizing is ehh whatever but Sasha?

That's not how you treat your childhood friend that you supposedly kick out of the party to keep him alive.

Ikr? I am happy that I am not the only one that get bothered by that stupid plot

 

[Rafalga]

Doesn't he have that book on firearms? Surely he could've found something in there more precise, powerful and less explode-y lol

He don't have access to his entire arsenal yet. Even then, there is also the point that he is only hunting S+ class monsters and only thing that can do any meaningful damage to them is his rockets and granade launchers. It would take 2 yaers to kill a dragon with a beretta 92

And that's precisely why he is so angry. It's nothing to do with being hang up on some misunderstanding like an edgy 12 year old. They literally got up and left after he passed out and never talked to him again afterwards so all the "by mistake" part is really stood out to him even after guild masters explaination.

 

[3leaves2]

chapters aren't much so far. well, I guess it's still putting the setting. I'm here for the translator notes though!

 

[apreiu]

I started reading the novel, and let's just be honest here. This is an adaptation of a work from an inexperienced writer.

It's bad. Simple as that. There is no expectations for the characters to act in a manner that makes logocal sense.

With that said, by chapter 2 of the novel there are already inconsistency and contradictions.

Hopefully, the manga will fix the issues or drive the story in another direction. Either way, do not expect good writing from this.

 

[Kampfarsch]

Spoiler

Oh, well that's dumb, and seems like a contrived way to stretch this misunderstanding out on the author's part. Here I thought there was going to be some characterization.

Yeah I get he's powerful, but in the immediate aftermath they could have still offed him, that was my point.

I dunno, the story is trying to do the tragic "kick out of the party" betrayal cliche while also trying to subvert it and It's not really working, at least for me.

90% of human conflict arises from people not being able to talk
People sitting down and talking things out would be LESS realistic, because people dont work like that

 

[WhiteRabbitBR]

Idk if i continue, the MC is just and idiot that dont hear the others and dont use the brain to think straight

 

[NecessaryEvil.]

That was five minutes, see you next month guys

 

[Outflanks10]

God I cut myself on the sharp corners of this edgy manga

Thanks for the translation Galaxy Degen Scans

 

[R2D2TS]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Yuyu_yusha]

Shi I can't blame mc,
Reminds of of arifureta mc,

Yeah! That's what i felt too when reading the first chapter. Man it's gonna be another arifureta, huh? I just hope there's no

Spoiler

loli vampire, annoying bunny, and masochistic dragon.

Just normal lonely edgy MC with no companion just edgy Raoul.

 

[ComradeVee]

low budget arifureta. writing is all over the place

will be following.

 

[marshymallowy]

Releasing 2.2 today, speedrunning it right now
Any% GLITCHLESS

 

[Bobdillan69]

Is it just me, or is this exactly the same as Another betrayed serious on here?

Although that one followed the party not the dude kicked out.

Although this one has a time skip and doesn't have like 10 different misunderstandings, just the two. (and they seem to still be shipping these two, while that other one, the betrayed guy was kinda a piece of sh*t).

 

[YourPetPenguin]

Yk what I get MC's hate. Bro lost an eye and almost died listening to Sasha's advice, he's got every right to be like that. He seems to be chilling just fine with the guildmaster as well, which is nice that MC doesn't turn out to be an edging antisocial mf

Close. (I agree with you though, just expanding on what you said.)

"people sitting down and talking things out and still having conflict would be LESS realistic."

Lack of communication is the easiest way to add conflict because it's the most realistic way to handle things. The only way to have them talk AND still have conflict would be for them to talk past each other and have miscommunications which is arguably more frustrating than them not talking at all.

Childhood Friend is about 90% at fault for not communicating with MC period and not apologizing for almost getting him killed, and MC is 10% at fault for not confronting her in the 2 years since he woke up. But accountability isn't in his court. He explained that he "knows" they tried to have him killed and no one corrected him in 2 years except the GM saying, "they wouldn't do that...", which isn't really helpful? Sooooooo, not really MCs fault or him being "edgy."
