Shoushaman no Isekai Survival ~Zettai Hito to wa Tsurumanee~ - Vol. 4 Ch. 18

[Flipinusername]

I really empathize with the mc in this, since i also do the same when i get in my depression spiral. I basically cut off contact with everyone for long periods of time and stay inside my own head trying to rationalize it while also berating myself. Man i read isekai trash to somewhat get away from everything yet here i am reminded due to this series. It is good so i will continue reading, and due to the fact i like happy endings which ik he gets. I wish everyone else suffering with the same good luck.

Jeebuz, that was depressing...

Yurina is either in real trouble, another dude wants her, or most likely thinks Keigo doesn't like her anymore or something lol

Not quite iirc.

The noble's son is trying to enslave Keigo and have him make potions/items for him

Shiiiiiit! Didnt see that.

So
why MC feeling suddenly become depressed?
Maybe the typical Japanese Hikkomori strikes again?
or MC in the past betrayed by his peer?

Thats just depression man.

 

[Liar]

You know, I was about to say I really hate this line of thinking he was having.

However, others then pointed out in the comments that this is actually a good representation of clinical depression, and it really made me more aware of how out of control this could be for some people.

So now I think I can sympathize with him a lot more, knowing that he may have something untreated going on.

 

[Valshir]

Read ahead a bit in the raw looks like things turn out alright.

As a (probably. Indonesians don’t generally believe in mental illnesses unless it’s visibly severe) mildly depressed person, i…really relate to that level of depression-inducing solitude (have been there). If not for the internet, mangas, and games, i might’ve actually just take the jump and experience newton’s laws personally…especially that bit where you start thinking “i’m so hopeless, wouldn’t it be much better for everyone if i just bit the dust?”

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you very much for the translation!

 

[stavekoff]

From what he's described so far, work was his life. He became so engrossed with it to the point he gave up almost everything else in his life for job efficiency. I think he is no longer emotionally or mentally prepared to handle anything else outside of his comfort zone as a result. That depression is a manifestation of his frustrations, because he wants things and doesn't want them at the same time. And he doesn't know what to do, because he's too afraid of getting the bad ending. I really hope his friends and Yurina can do something to help him. Without reading the novel or any spoiler tags, she's probably there to ask about him, because she's worried that he hasn't been around. A world like this, it wouldn't be unusual for people to suddenly up and die for various reasons, so that's probably why she's in a panic.

Yeah it's not a rational response, but depression isn't really rational.

Speaking from personal experience, I've got a pretty good life. But every now and then something will just snap and woops it's time to hide and mope. Sometimes there's an "obvious" trigger; a relationship goes bad, you make an embarrassing mistake at work, something you were looking forward to falls apart, etc.

However sometimes you just wake up and for no reason everything sucks, even things that were fine yesterday, and all you want is for everything to disappear.

Therapy can help, and medication can help, but it sounds like the MC never went that route and has had to try and cope on his own.

Too bad there isn't a potion to fix the shitty translation.

Noble dude really needs to smack his son more.

 

[MeePotato]

man, that was a mood

 

[jhs_reika]

Noble dude really needs to smack his son more.

Smack him HARD with his third arm.

His new arm is his third arm, no?

 

[Trash_Connoisseur]

Real. But once again, I just wish he'd find a good woman in that town instead of choosing a hooker.

Booo me all you want, I'm still right.

Well

She has an interesting backstory. She’s more like a hostess tho. Her backstory and what she really does will be explained later on. At some point she even questions herself and doesn’t think she’s good enough for Keigo.

 

[Illusione-Tempus]

Ah fuck he's in critical depression mode atm.

”suddenly” bruh I don‘t know how much attention you’ve paid to the story but the dude is very clearly depressed, and that shit can come in waves.

 

[77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx]

Dude needs to beat his dick once in a while,its not going to fix him permanently and could be depression fuel instead but you gotta do sometimes. I guess mc's way of dealing this is doing what shown in this chapter. Good chapter still.
