I wonder who was at fault in the end for the dungeon traps🤔.

The manga is doing really well at catching up to what i've read of the light novel though, its been pretty dang fast.

We havent heard much from the cousin (?) character that inherited Elma's family clan title thing. Like I know we got that little battle where Elma told his dad to kick rocks but like, she seemed like she was going to be pretty relevant to the plot in some way. I wonder if the author axed that idea or smthn

Yup, it's the law of detail conservation. There'd be no reason to have all this attention on the master, including introducing his apprentice, if he didn't have anything to do with the situation.

Predicable, but ironically, if it turns out that he isn't involved and it was just a red herring, that would just be bad writing since all this set up would be for nothing. Unless the writer manages to surprise me, but the plot has been super straightforward up to this point.
It wouldn't necessarily be bad writing if this arc is to set up a recurring character. They showed a master/disciple duo of a class that is also looked down on, and showed the struggles the master went through, it is good for light world-building that it's not just Heavy Knights being looked down on. If they end up throwing the duo away after the arc, that would be disappointing.

nice the sniper not upload first
and why does the shield (88 def), even his first shield(25 def) have way more higher def than his blacksteel armor(+15 def)???
That’s exactly how armour and shields work in a lot of actual RPGs and MMOs, a shield takes the slot of a weapon so the bonus to defence has to be roughly equivalent to the lost damage from the weapon, while everyone has armour so the amount of defence it provides is much less.

Yup. Shifting suspicions to the only ppl that can pursue him to gather evidence, or to court if they got evidence. Others he can silence, or rely on reputation to mislead.
Like how he tries to mislead mc into not reporting to guild to avoid being "silenced" by guild master
meanwhile the mc already reported the centipede or smth boss to the guild master

Cool seeing Celt come around after reading this arc in the WN, him and Maybell are definitely great supporting cast. I like their back and forth sniping.

This seems to be a theme up until the current WN where party members drop in and out with the core membership being Elma and Luce (naturally), next two up are fun in their own way, but the OGs will meet up again soon-ish for another arc.
may i know what chapter is this on wn?

That and red herrings are necessarily bad either. They can be used to misdirect you into thinking what the author wants you to think while setting up something you didn't see coming, that you normally would have, because of the distraction. A red herring done well is actually fantastic story telling.

I like the adventurer in this story, they're actually competent to certain degree.
It just MC is too good at this "system" so he manages to reach the elite in no time and with his charismatic he also earn more reliable allies despite their personality.

This feel like a good MMORPG story if it not isekai.
And a really good one at that. Some MMORPG stuffs are written by authors who have 0 knowledge of how MMORPGs work.

i definitely don't trust that guy, not even a little. i hope the mc doesn't either because it would be stupid of him to trust him after all.

To me there is a huge difference from building a good mystery by placing somewhat misleading situations, and straight up lying to your readers or withholding important information. Lots of mystery writers are hacks that don't know the difference. So far nothing we've seen in this seems to be overt lying, just lots of hinting and unknown. So unless they are completely withholding information and the villain is some new guy that we've never seen, it's still all good.

Even then, if it's a brand new villain with no connection to current ones, it can still eventually turn into an interesting character as long as it's not a one-off, then you start verging into boring monster of the week territory.

Y'know, now that we're out of the gold-farming and leveling bit from the start, this manga kinda slaps. I'm having a good time. Thanks for the TL.
