Pretty sure those stars are the permission stickers to enter "My world", though I feel like they've shifted around somewhat... I remember Mareena put hers on her cheek, maybe Marina moved it after?

Caro's a shorty, but hardly a half-gnome (Are we just pretending that 'minihume' isn't a thing any more?). The art gets kinda averaged after a while.

Dude missed like dozens of interviews in a row, that's why he's in a love-and-hate situation with being jobless.
Losing jobless :
- downside = losing job stability skill( the ability to choose any job of 5 randomly selected among any job existing even the rarest for 24h and have the opportunity to permanently learn the skills of it during that time)
- benefice = finally a getting a job and stopping to feel of being a failure for never managed to get a job from all his life (in Earth including)
becoming Jobless again :
- downside = feeling being a failure again for not having a job
- benefice = welcome back job stability !
But to be fair, I agree that in both case he was just whining, moreover It seems that it had already been a long time since he stopped to feel being a failure from being jobless in that world and also his feeling about being having been jobless all his life is more used as a bad running joke in the story than something truly developed.

BTW, @SilasMeanQuite
On page 31, bottom-right panel, the king calls it
"the Order of the Eagle Lion"
Im gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that the word "Gryphon" is probably just written as "eagle lion" in 日本人
So... that's probably gonna be
"The Order of The Gryphon"

Thanks for this chapter, Silas.
I don't buy this for one second. Trauma is not so precise in its effect--it's not going to function so neatly and predictably as to affect specific parts of just one part of his life. If Ichinojou was indeed traumatized by his absurdly bad stretch of job search failure, it'd affect anything and everything at least indirectly related: not only would he not be able to joke about it (as he has on multiple occasions, with multiple people), but he would be paralyzed with defeatism as a result, and therefore not make the use of his counterintuitive ability that lets him succeed without a job--which was supposed to be the underlying message of this story in the first place, if all the story elements pointing to such a message were any indication. The job system itself would remind Ichinojou of his failure, comprising operative elements commonly called "jobs", and so he would cripple himself in constant memory of his failure.
It's almost totally irrational, but that's what trauma is, being based on emotion.
This story really is losing its quality.
The story really had more than just a spark in the beginning, but it seems the author's fine with extinguishing its flame himself. Escapism isn't inherently a bad thing, contrary to some stories' messaging (looking at you, FFTA), but it's like these authors can't even do that right; all they can do is embrace conformity, mediocrity, and depravity.

Isekai (that is, the Japanese variety of the old otherworld story) stories are very obviously meant to be a special and targeted form of escapism--from the pains of Japanese society as it is, and yet so many isekai authors include a counterintuitive and self-contradictory story element of homesickness, of all things, in their stories. Here, Ichinojou's been flat-out abused by the HR conventions of his world (100 rejections in a row), keeping him unemployed and thus unable to be a contributing member of Japanese society--which, according to the opinion implicitly held true by society at large, made him a no-account; he dies and gets to a new world, which spits in the face of the idea of him needing to have a job attached to his identity to be worth something by giving him an ability that lets him do whatever he wants whenever he wants--effectively a self-employed freelancer--and letting him attain great success through it (a beautiful girlfriend who loves him perfectly, friendship, money, and even peerage).
But, for some reason, ever since a few dozen chapters after the beginning, Ichinojou's been talking about "graduating" from "being jobless" instead of just wanting to see all of what Jobless can offer him--as if all his successes heretofore did not come from having exactly that ability. Is it Japanese programming kicking in, forcing the author to write Ichinojou abandoning his heroically individualistic ways and pursue the comfort of the Japanese herd's conformism? What's next? Will he start talking in earnest about wanting to return to Japan, despite having Haru where he is?
What's the point of this story if Jobless is so vilified? What's the point of writing a story about getting away from the gearworks of a hopeless, soul-crushing Japanese world if the message is actually that you have to love your black company and love working for it?

Speaking of Haru, I once thought this author dodged whatever bullet twisted the brain of the author of Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo, despite their stories being as similar as they are, but perhaps it's not so: this author's embracing the same effeminate and pedophilic thinking so many others do. Mareeeena was already one bad sign: Ichinojou never liked her alter ego, willfully adopted upon the donning of a mere domino mask and abandoned when it was doffed; the only thing constant about her was the appearance of a bland Japanese female, complete with small breasts and masculinely short hair--characteristics Haru, whom Ichinojou has been ardently in love with for all that she is from the start, possesses none of. Carol came along before her, and--like with Mareeeena--Ichinojou had to be cajoled and guilted into regarding her romantically. To Carol's credit, she was and is possessed of a FAR better personality than the pedobait of Roxanne's story, but she was still--despite being much older--possessed of a body characteristic of a totally undeveloped child, which Ichinojou once acknowledged, himself (the aforementioned cajoling and guilt-tripping was for the purpose of getting him past that).
Now, in the interest of upholding the feminine (women are the ones who advocate for the participation prize culture in which no one loses) concept of universal beauty (which is a self-contradiction), Mareeeena, Carol, and all the other bland/flawed females around Ichinojou are regarded as equal in appeal to Haru. This is the aforementioned self-contradiction: what's the point of playing up Haru's looks via Ichinojou's regard of her if everyone else, despite their differences, is exactly equal to Haru in that regard? (Even worse, why include otherworldly beauty such as Haru's in your escapist story if the message is that the reader shouldn't look away from the blandness of the Japan he's used to?) And in this way comes this chapter's development. Carol fixes her one and only flaw: she takes a physically mature form, almost as beautiful and as congruent with Ichinojou's tastes as Haru's, and in so doing, negates the need for Ichinojou to talk himself into attraction to her...only for Ichinojou to take the feminist-approved route and reject her change by uttering that old female-approved mantra (that women themselves don't even believe) about breast size not mattering after enthusiastically "inspecting" Carol's bust growth with his face in her tits.
Ichinojou himself didn't even sound convinced. (Putting your face in a pair of big breasts is obviously better than ramming your face into a sternum devoid of femininity.) Consequently, Carol cuts him off and tells him that it was just so "stupid" of her to think she "needed to appear with bigger breasts", and so returns to her pedobait form.
Thus do the "lolicons" continue to be fed. (As if pedophile bait isn't present in nearly every manga that isn't grimdark and has a female character like Haru present.) This is the actual reason Carol cannot abandon her "loli" form--because there are plenty of people who want to have sex with kids, and the author aims to gratify their fantasies.
