I really want to punch the mc he's so stupidly annoying by calling other stupid eventhough he is so pathetic and say it is the way of an adult to be a wimp
He isn't entirely wrong. His logic is that he tries to face the thug > gets beaten up to a pulp > still loses the money + spends more on treating = bigger loss; pretty much what happened to Paris, and that's exactly what mangaka is trying to tell, I believe.

If Maru-san wasn't there, that's exactly what would have been the outcome (ignore cops exist for the moment). Rei probably never got any help from anyone (for whatever reason, bullied/blackmailing plots usually have questionable logic that the audience can't make sense :aquadrink:), so he didn't consider trying to stand up for himself.

Carry a weapon with an edge longer than 4 inches, in Japan that already gives you a couple of years... Attacking two minors, accomplice to kidnapping... Attack a person... Maybe not having ID?
Attempted homecide?

I understand that the author had no fucking idea about what to write after chapter 2, but what does pull this bozos into writing brain dead content?
How are the memories of beign bullied the first thing the mc think while beign robbed by a gangster?
Why the yakuza did not ended this shit show pulling out a knife and killing bot of them the moment they jumped him? Damn.
Tbf, the first guy was just a street punk. The two guys who grabbed HIM were probably Yakuza

I just want to add on, how is Rei probably never having gotten any help questionable logic that doesn't make sense? I mean, in most real life bullying cases, the victims never got any help from anyone, even if it happened right in front of people's faces. Other people usually turn a blind eye, whether it's out of fear they might be next, they can't be bothered or they actually think it's funny. People who actually intervene are rare.

As for not standing up for himself, that part makes a lot of sense, too. A lot of former bullying victims will say it stopped after they stood up for themselves. But there are just as many cases where standing up for themselves has at best changed nothing and at worst made the bullying even worse. If Rei ever did try to stand up for himself in the past, he's probably the latter case.

other than his name as "Paris night" (remind me about Java game from Gameloft back then lol), isn't she actually worshipping evil god by chance?
like dark sword, bind to mortal realm despite died in peace soul. also the fact that she's powered by negative emotions, you sure she's not Sword maiden Witch?

You're saying that bcz you can make sense, but I've already read a few comments believing otherwise, not just on this site. :worry:
