@justforthelulz : In case you forgot: Adventuring is basically equivalent to live-streaming in this world. The rankings might be impacted by how far you've gone/how skilled you are, but the casual audience want more flashy stuffs.
The hero was against kicking MC out, it's the asshole 'monk' guy who suggested it while the other two are mostly 'whatevs' about it.
And even when the monk guy taunted MC to cast his black magic on him (that we know what kind of effect it take in this chapter) to prove he's not just a leech MC chose not to.
@Seraph_best_girl :
Considering the effect shown in this chapter (blindness, slow/paralysis) it's gonna be like going from no-crit, 0.5 speed TF2 server to 10x, 2x speed, all-crit server.
Although thinking about it, MC would actually be pretty 'popular' as a dungeon boss isn't he.
Looking 'human', can smugly monologue over the crippled hero parties before finishing them off.
