That isn'ttoo far off. He basically makes a spell which turns curses into blessings. Ex: curse that deteriorates health -> blessing that adds years to your lifespan and makes you imune to illnesses. But there is more uses than just that for it. It literally just turns almost any bad affliction into a good thing because of how vague he makes its targeted focus. I think he calles it something like "get well" too.

Well, we all know where this is going. It is an isekai after all. Slave girl and loli seem to be requirements for the genre so this manga seems to be getting them both over in one blow by combining them into one character.

@Doomer Are you talking about the beastgirl? She's 8 and enslaved, chief. No normal person upon seeing those two things would do anything but apprehend her as MC did. She's far to young to realize the consequences of her actions, and even if she does there's a chance she's being forced into being an assassin by whoever owns her.

If you're talking about the knight girl, then ehhhhh, yea I would have been a bit more angry.

That's why videogame-based mangas are usually no fun, this guy has done nothing to deserve his power, doesn't recognize how lucky he is, he's beating people who trained all their lives with no effort and he shouldn't have cheat powers in the first place!
I'd like another cheat character to appear and just kill the protagonist out of the blue just to prove how fucking stupid this logic is.
Why should I care if there are no stakes.

End of my useless rant, time to keep reading despite everything I just said

@Finalegend Let me write a little rant of my own. 😜 Who has ever done anything to deserve being born into the family they're born into, with the genes they're given, the parents they're given and the environment they grow up in? Whether a person flourishes or rots, here or in another world, is all down to these factors, and it's all based on random chance from beginning to end. No one has ever done anything to deserve whatever life they get. And if more people could realise this, the world might become a slightly better place than the hellhole it is right now. 🙃

This chapter feels very convenient, like the robber just so happens to go into the room MC is in, and MC just so happens to acquire all the skills he needs, etc

@Qwertzy The fact that in the "grand scheme of things" it was all predestined or random really has no consequences to the individual.
You can't choose what you draw, but you still have cards to play, and even if this choice is an illusion, it's still good enough.
We're no Gods and we should neither think nor act like one, thinking "everything is random" is meaningless and self-destructive.
So just because your competitors could get lucky you're not going to train or study in order to improve your odds? That's just insanity.
That's not a "better place than the hellhole the world is right now", that's a world devoid of meaning and happiness that thank God will never be allowed to exist, because guess what, in most cases, this world will prove those who display effort and refine their skills and techniques right.

I was not talking about reality though, I was talking about how certain things are necessary to make fiction enjoyable.
YES, in reality you could get hit by a fucking meteor just before achieving your dreams or slip on a banana and die like an idiot, but that's really beside the point.
If there are no stakes, there's no reason for me to worry or care for the characters involved, reason why dumb power-fantasy mangas like this one get boring really fast and get axed.
It's quite ironic that you made a statement about reality though, when stories like this purposefully use a videogame like setting to simplify things (narrative expedient that bites them right in the ass eventually).

People talking about stakes are taking this story waaaaay too seriously lol. This is a story where the main heroine is a gorilla. You're wasting your time if you expect this story to ever take itself seriously.

@Finalegend I didn't mean to imply that effort has no role in life, or that it's in any way unimportant, but without at least a minimum amount of luck (or random chance, if you will), no amount of effort will ever get you where you want to go. In general, both are important.

And as for whether the world would be a better or worse place if people acknowledged the role of luck and chance, studies invariably have shown that people who are reminded of and acknowledge the importance of luck in their success act with greater generosity and kindness than those who believe everything is down to their own effort. Because, let's face it, no amount of effort is going to help you reach the top 1% of the world in terms of wealth, unless luck is on your side. Which, btw, I'm part of that top 1% in terms of wealth (not quite in terms of income), mostly through no effort of my own, aside from being slightly good at budgeting. And I fully acknowledge that this is 95% due to the luck of my circumstances (I was born in one of the wealthiest countries in the world (edited to add: to wealthy parents)).

And I didn't really mean to imply that my rant should affect your view of luck in fiction. I just felt inspired to rant a bit by your comment. 😉
