Continuation of the talks to gorgons, in the most suitable place, the red light district
Him instantly creating a solution to the petrification problem is so hacky. If he had a previous encounter that related to countering petrification with his magic that I forgot then I take back my words, but him going "Hmm, so yeah let's add some petrification magic that I just created out of thin air to solve this problem and oh, look at that! The curse of your species that isolated you from the rest of civilization is now zilch!" is annoying to read.
That's something I like about Makoto, he has some really strong sociopathic tendencies yet he tries to deny them and become a "normal person" but a normal person in his eyes is a really selfless philanthropist, so he is dealing with the problems caused by either his ignorance of what truly means to be normal and the moments where his true and darker nature starts to flourish and in the WN we get to see a fragment of four alternative timelines where they bloom completely and leave nothing left of his "desire to be a normal person" and it's not pretty at all, specially because the only thing that didn't change was his grudge against the Bug and he paid it with the world as a way to get her attentionAnd that’s the point. He’s just an aimless teenager, and to make matters worth he’s a sociopath so it’s even harder to care.
Oh. I thought it was when they tried using status ailment spells on Makoto and it didn't work, not the forest ogres.They actually do have experience dealing with something similar to petrification magic. When they were dealing with the forest ogres (I recall it was somewhere in the 30-40 chapters) Makoto wanted to find a way to reverse their turning people into trees magic.
Makoto is currently aimless (a common concern amongst the Japanese teenagers this story was aimed at). Supposedly, he wants to spread his medicine and help cure curses. Any unbiased review of his actions and results could only be described as probable embezzlement at best, and malicious negligence at worst. With his resources, knowledge, and power, any truly motivated individual would have spread through the entire world by now.
Well, from what I hear, it's illegal for the anime to go further than the manga. It's to protect the author, if you want to know before everyone, buy the book.Honestly it's weird having the manga be behind the anime... but at least we are being shown extra details that the anime either leaves out or missing
Let's be real, the pacing in this story is just abysmally slow. Now I might actually go watch the anime if they managed to trim all the unnecessary fat.Honestly it's weird having the manga be behind the anime... but at least we are being shown extra details that the anime either leaves out or missing
I hate how you and everyone else is just forgetting that all of these candidates are recommended by Tomoe, Mio and Shiki. The three people Makoto relies and trusts the most. In his eyes all the other species have already passed the requirements needed to be a demiplane resident
No, I didn't forget. Yes, they were recommended by his trusted subordinates.Thing is that you (and everyone else complaining about his attitude towards newcomers) are forgetting is that these newcomers were recommended by the three he trusts the most in that world. While it’s not stated here Makoto is of the view that of Mio Tomoe and Shiki recommended them then that’s an auto pass for him. If Emma didn’t force him to do so he would have just let them immigrate without even interviewing them as he has that much trust in those three.
Plus even if they caused an issue he can just easily kick them out. Not like they’d be able to do anything to him if they tried.
Not just the demiplane, she also manages his outer interests, and trains the admin staff he puts in place in other areas.Emma deserves so much more credit for carrying the entire demi-plane on her back at this point.
He can't use Healing or Wind magic, which I think are supposed to be Hyuman specialties, but his ability allows him to reinforce or introduce concepts into people and things around him. You know like accelerating natural healing, or boosting resistance."I can't use healing magic" proceeds to clear status ailments... What part of curing petrification isn't healing? I can understand the anti-petrification being classified as a buff, but cure-type magic is categorized as healing.
