hhmmm...... MC mentioned that the Saintesses are going to die. i feel like the one who actually kills the Saintesses won’t be MC, but someone inside the church member. then they’ll just frame the MC for it. After that he becomes a wanted criminal, and that’s probably when the main game plot starts, where the MC ends up becoming the enemy of humanity in that world. I’m pretty sure that’s what’s going to happen

I do wonder if they’ll fix the Saint by tricking her into casting purification on herself.

ngl that would be an amazing twist

On page 24, Her pupillen change into a cross-like.
I thought at first time that she is already brainwashed.
But she isn't, which it means it is artist's mistake.

At least the MC did recognise the saintess, even if it took such a long time.

It doesn't really matter since the game story itself was obviously changed after the MC died. Quite a lot, seeing how the humans are behaving so evilly, which surprised the MC. It wouldn't have surprised him if it was already in the game plot back when he was alive and a developer. So, it was changed significantly after he died and now it's changing even more with the boss ("Creator") around, with his admin access smartphone. The MC wasn't super useful in the general, but with so much changed without his knowledge, he's little better than Schneizel himself. Basically he can only recognise some important characters, but with the changes, it's quite possible the roles of those characters are entirely different, some characters might have been cut, some new ones introduced. The story he can trust the least of all. However, he's such a stiff thinker that he simply can't cope with the changes.

Probably a mistake. All of the named characters have unique pupils and the cross shape should be of the Saint. It's not a sign of brainwashing or anything.

Saintess probably wants to go against this “creator” dude and she is genuine in her intention of running away. Although, that will create conflict and a lot of intrigue.

If i am right then that is not peace loving at all from her, contradicting the previous chapter, so I hope I am wrong.

This is like an isekai spectator, dude knows little and has no power... meanwhile the other that didn´t even do his job has, brainwashing?, stat manipulation, game dev access?

don´t think i´m complaining, this is actually good, the MCs are far from OP, have no knowledge and no cheats, while the bad guy is not only having such an envious... I mean awful, debauchery driven lifestyle with no drawbacks and plenty of power

who doesn´t like an underdog story?

 

[BlackAeronaut]

For some reason, the theme from Dragnet popped into my head when those human soldiers showed up...

I dunno, chief, that's like playing against an adversarial GM in a D&D game. You may think it's exciting and the payoff may sound great, but, you're against someone who can flip the script on a whim to secure his own victory. That isn't really an underdog story, that's just being the patsy of a r/RPGHorrorStories GM at this point.

What does MC even do ? Bum can't even recognize the saintess I swear

At this point, this is just a subversion of the whole "reincarnated as the villain" trope
He's not supposed to be useful... But then, why keep him around.

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼

I wouldn't say he's useless. Don't forget the fact that he managed to steer Schneizel out of trouble for the past 10 years while he was controlling his body. It's just that his knowledge gets cut short there because of some other factor he's currently not aware of. Even then, his original knowledge still proves to be somewhat useful because he's still able to recognize what SHOULD happen, but didn't.

I hope not. I'm tired of the "actually, the evil villains of the game were actually misunderstood good guys all along" cliche, because all it does is make game writers look like psychopaths. Besides, defying one's own destiny is just inherently cooler.

Ah, who am I kidding, we already got the "immediately kicked out of the noble household because of my DARK powers" with an extra side dish of cunny companion, assassination attempt, and speciesism. It's 100% going to happen the way you described it.

 

[DeshiBilai]

Repeat after me, we don't need that useless reincarnated MC. the og host is peak

 

[KuroeNekumi]

...i have to wonder what even happened? Because I can only believe that the game was a proper RPG until the guy intervened and changed the story.

Likely that the saintess isn't in cahoots, but actually wanting to check the situation for herself. I mean, what sense does it make to have the knights show up before she even gets inside the settlement? And if she is actually on the side of the "creator" and must, as other people say, cast purification on herself to switch sides...it would be interesting as a scene, not so much for her identity as a character.

new tag sexual violence, I remember I wasn't the one who added it, then who?
