you know what? whatever, I'm just gonna invest on this one

 

[duwung]

killed a bunch of grunts, but didn't kill the guy that deserved it.

it's about sending a message

 

[Nekotofu]

Yep, let's try to kill a private that can hold off the enemy on his own. What could go wrong?

 

[Haxens]

Mr. Kumo. Ima need this series released bout twice a week. Until you catch up at least. Thank you for your great service

 

[aim_then_heal]

Hmm, more slop, good

 

[GoblinGuy]

Only the arm is an issue, you don't need earlobes to hear or otherwise function as normal, unless that means winning beauty contests

You need earlobes for front/back directional audio, which you could argue isn't needed to "function as normal" but then you'd also have to agree that being in combat scenarios isn't "normal" for that definition to work. And this guy is in the military.

Knowing what is going on around you is kind of important in a large scale sword fight.

 

[Psychronia]

Oh, nice. Bro is straight up using his raw power to murder anyone who comes at him. Because why wouldn't he?

Let's keep things simple: are you claiming that without earlobes it's not possible to hear things from the front/back/any other direction? If that were true it would certainly significantly impact one's awareness, but that's kind of a contentious claim...

 

[Laxtir]

Didn't expect the murder hobo , but hey it was Nice

 

[CrimsonSix]

This is actually pretty interesting.

You still hear the things, you just can't tell which direction they're coming from in that particular axis. That's called directional audio, as opposed to just audio, which is why I used that term and why you trying to interpret it the way you did is illogical.
You can still tell left from right, because you have two ears with distance between them, but you're no longer able to tell if a sound is coming from e.g. front-left/right just out of peripheral vision, or rear left/right. Same as well for whether it's above or below you, in fact. You'd still (with enough time to relearn) be able to tell when something is directly left/right as opposed to more front/back/up/down, as the directly-to-the-side one would sound different in the opposing ear than the others. If you're really skilled you might even be able to tell up/down from left/right due to the shape of your head and how the sounds reflect off your body. But that would take a long time and a load of effort, and still be less effective than with functional auricles.

This is not at all contentious, this is the scientific consensus for why our ears are shaped the way they are. AKA the exact antithesis of contentious.

While there is a good deal of evidence that the earlobe's shape enhances directional hearing (Batteau comes to mind), you are listing some very precise supposed consequences of losing them, where is that comming from? Seems highly contentious, since some people are born without earloabes and I've never heard of them having such issues to such a degree, not to mention them being widespread. As far as I know, research shows the actual effect of the information provided by the pinnea is very much not uniform between individuals.

Mandatory main heroine GET.
It seems like the author was taking a piss on the generic goodie two-shoes overpowered MC by making him an edgy psychopath. It might be a subversion, but still a trope-y, generic story nonetheless.

 

[Inori]

This is absolutely, utterly, horrifyingly ridiculous.
I love it.

 

[CinnamonCrunch]

Genuinely braindead. Like I don’t how else to describe it. It feels like the mangaka just threw a bunch of tropes at some paper and added some edginess and called it a day. I don’t see the surviving very long but who knows in today’s economy

No. I will screenshot it, print it, and hang it on my wall.

I'm so happy this got a manga! The web novel was really good

The commander didn't lose just an earlobe, he lost the entire cartilage structure of the ear, known as the auricle. Which has been studied extensively as a part of the human body to understand why it's shaped the way it is.

Source: https://coastal-ent.com/posts/news/ear-shape-and-hearing/

It is already a basic scientific fact that human brains map out horizontal audio sources based on which side the sound pressure hits first. An individual with two fully operational ear channels can normally determine within milliseconds if a sound was generated to their left or right. But what is the purpose of the interesting shape of your auricle?

To isolate the answers, research teams executed an experiment where they temporarily modified the physical landscape of the study subjects’ outer ears. To achieve this alteration safely, they carefully packed a biocompatible, flexible silicone compound into the intricate ridges of the auricle—ensuring the ear canal itself remained completely untouched. Failing to isolate the canal would have introduced dangerous clinical hazards and muted all sound.

Upon executing the audio tests, they realized that while individuals easily identified horizontal directions, they were utterly unable to tell if a sound came from high above their heads or low beneath the furniture.

They had just lost a previously unknown piece of the human ear’s geolocation system.

BLOODY HELL!!
GREATSWORD got NTR-ed.

the last arc is gonna be how the Greatsword Possessed someone to find its way back to Yamagishi
