@shengar Imagine being this butthurt about chinese cartoons. Calm yourself. I just said that its shittier because you can see the MC's face and if that doesn't sound like a joke, I don't know what to tell you. Either way, i'll take the bait.
Sure, the MC is more pragmatic in the sense that his motives are less specific than GS's but why stop there? Why are the females wearing short skirts? Why not bind your massive breasts so they don't hinder your movement? Why wear leather armor when metal armor is clearly superior especially against monsters who can appear anywhere and fatally wound? Why go into a dungeon when you're massively unprepared? A dungeon, small narrow dark place... Why even make the decision to consider it? Why fuck some simple shit up like falling into a hole, rendering your movement fucked (apparently accidentally stepping into a hole just stops your movement completely)? Why does the short hair girl just panic the moment she is faced with any simple and direct opposition? Why are they so horribly weak, undertrained, and stupid?
"Oh they're just goblins, weak and shit" It's not like Goblins haven't appeared or existed (in this world) before so the knowledge that Goblins' have weapons and are capable with them (let alone magic) shouldn't be any inclination to believe that they're stupid or weak or negligible.
The moment you apply pragmatism, you apply logic to a world that doesn't necessitate or function with it. You focus on the transient features that don't matter. I didn't say anything about it, you did.
>The first party had it coming
logically, functionally, and pragmatically, they shouldn't because they're so full of themselves or should have been TRAINED, at least to some degree.
>Rape
Who gives a shit about this at all. It's just an edgy trend that Japanese authors put to draw in the male teen crowd.
>Characters have names and shit
Again, who cares. The name is just so that we can identify them.
You talk about how the narrative is set up to be stronger than GS and I don't necessarily disagree. However, GS has a goal, it's revenge. A simple prerogative whereas this guy is just a wandering around cause he doesn't know what to do. Another "Lost soul" archetype where they inevitably find the homely busty girl to guide them towards the humanity or whatever the fuck. I think I'd rather have the MC who's autistically drawn to his goal than another stereotypical harem shell. I don't need my MCs to be pragmatic.
>Lapis and Loren have pasts
So does every character. If it's not explored, it's either not necessary or hasn't been explored yet. I forgot you can see into the future.
>Infinitely better manga that GS will ever be
lol. Literallywat
Don't try to apply logic when it doesn't go both ways. You want to apply logic to GS, apply it to this one. Otherwise, you seem like an idiot. Also, it's enhanced by your unsubstantiated hyperbolic statements.
