Nah she looks the closest to him in hyuman terms, shes the perfect gf for himI get that she's not a romantic interest.
Instead... she's just in contention for best non-girlfriend girl.
Remember that he has a Dragon and a Spider that want all that from him, and if any competition comes, they're willing to thin them out to make sure they're firstMy man just let a whole harem slip through his fingers.
Think about it; 200 beautiful busty women who have no problems walking around scantily clad. He's not affected by their eyes, and can make all their furniture and items immune as well. Plus, they're all horny.
Oh yes he does, but as they would find out just the two of them isn't cutting it. He out-libidoes them.
Exactly this. Makoto isn't a bad person, but so far he's been a terrible leader, likely at least in part because he didn't really want to be one. However, he has (if unhappily) accepted his role, which means that he has a responsibility to the people he's leading. However, he just... has no interest in actually leading them.One can criticize Makoto as being un-leaderlike while also not rooting for him becoming the stereotypical manhua "courting death" tyrant ubervillain. The fact is that Makoto's behavior in this chapter actually is very unbecoming of a good leader.
Kindness is a noble trait to have, but in a proper leader it is tempered by good judgment; after all kindness to one's enemies can translate into cruelty to one's allies: Makoto learned this the hard way with those hyuman adventurers. Perhaps he needs to learn harsher lessons still.
- He continues to ignore his subordinates' pleas for him to behave more properly as their leader. He's in another world, with different norms and mores, and the excuse of "I'm just a teenager/highschooler" isn't going to cut it here. This is made very obvious in previous chapters' "comedy" of (noble) teens his age already having multiple wives, for example.
- He fails to defend his own subordinate against inappropriate behavior from complete strangers.
- He chastises his subordinate for snapping, when his own behavior is primarily to blame for causing them to snap in the first place (see 1). Even worse, he did it in front of strangers who were also partially to blame for the outburst.
Status ailments are probably categorized separately from actual injuries or illnesses - maybe due to their origin being magical as opposed to mundane? So things like curses, petrification and such would fall under non-healing (you can't fix them with solely healing magic) while stuff like injuries, illnesses, conditions and such would possibly be rectified by at least some classes of healing magic."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.
To be fair, they did spend a large part of the chapter explaining how he's pretty insanely good at manipulating magic, including stuff he can't even castHim 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!"
Yes, yes I'm sure he will.He's really gonna make anti-petrification glasses and turn all the Gorgons into Meganekko, isn't he. Sasuga, Makoto.
To be fair, the novel did delve deeper into how status ailments work in the world. To put it simply, status ailments, no matter the kind, does not work against foes that have a bigger reserve of mama. It's like trying to paint the ocean. You can't do it unless you have as much paint as the ocean. That's why Makoto is immune.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.
