Of course the red eater is female. Also did Aldis say (err think), “coming to this world”. What’s with the random tease. I would have been fine with this just being a fantasy world story; I really don’t need the added effect of him having been isekai’d (though this would be an interesting way to do it). Actually this entire chapter feels like a tease. The part of a marking on Aldis’ forehead (also I love Nale a whole lot more for remaining so loyal and not taking a peak) and the hint of who Nale is and what she was sent to do. I am a bit happy to learn for sure she’s loyal to Aldis and her goal is to help people, but really none of those teases revealed much of anything (I was already pretty sure Nale was trustworthy anyway). I will have to give it to the author. He (or is it a she? I’ll just roll with he. Someone correct me if I’m wrong) did a great job of making me care about the background of the two main characters again (I had honestly stopped caring after so long with no hints), and getting me excited to read future chapters. It also does a good job of not dumping everything on us readers instantly (sometimes when author’s just throw all that new background info on us, it doesn’t always soak in fast enough). That said, there is now the issue of waiting too long before revealing this stuff. The author needs to reveal more information periodically now (or all at once) soon, or else he risks readers forgetting or just not caring anymore (it’s like when developers tease a game too early). On another note, I don’t know how I feel about the teasers mainly coming through internal monologues. I mean, I get hiding facts when you’re talking to someone, but not so much as when you’re thinking to yourself. Even if you do images from what you’re remembering should popup or you remember something else connected to that thought (or at least that’s how it is for me; I guess this really isn’t something you can know a lot about for anyone but yourself). Plus it just feels weird when the author let’s us see inside the minds of characters when he wants to. I know it’s done practically all the time throughout most works, but it just feels weird. It’s like having a mind reading device that only works when it’s convenient to the plot. I don’t know how I feel about Integral information being revealed through that. Just my thoughts rambling on (which if that isn’t what a comment is for; then I don’t want to live in this world anymore)...

@TNT261 seeing an isekai tag is a good way to keep me away from a story. Not revealing the story is an isekai until I'm already 15 chapters invested is a good way to keep me from just insta dropping it

To be honest, since some chapters take time to be updated i had already forgotten about the MCs history , so i just assumed he was a reincarnated person with doubting it .

You shouldn't let "isekai" drive you away from a good series before you even try it. There's some fantastic series that either do the trope but polished to a mirror's shine or ones are technically isekai but it's not really relevant to the plot other than "this is why this guy is thinking like an adult even though he's only a young child" etc.

@Amplify I have lots of isekai in my follows, I used to really enjoy the genre. But far too many sites either have the fact that it's an isekai shoe horned in when it's not necessary (kinda like here, but usually shown immediately), make the Mc op for no reason, or are super lazy when it comes to how they get isekai'd. "one day I somehow died and am now in a new world." Konosuba made it funny, but about after that just seem lazy.

There is actually an important reason in this one, but I can't say more than that. Central to the plot even, and not the usual fare.

Yeah I know and it doesn't make any difference to me if you did or not, just saying there's a reason. At the glacial pace the manga is moving though, might be a long while before enough details trickle out for you to figure out what's going on with that though.

The Mc is a clone! The mark is his clone number!
(I say with no proof after it teases a lab at the end)
