@Nep With the way these characters perceive their abilities, it might as well be. Imagine if the guy from Solo Levelling got these powers. He'd be thinking about how to create a team of high-class immortal warriors before anything else.
Or at the very least, he would perceive that possibility and plan his future accordingly. This dude couldn't care less now that he saved the girl. He's so single-minded exactly how those slow-life fantasy protag always are.
@grecefar I mean, if you look at MC and his female companion(s) skills it was bound to happen (maybe not with this character in particular but I could very well see it happening with another friend/love interest/pet/etc sometime in the future).
This is actually a nice reminder why MC skill was seen as useless - until it got to level 10. If one compares to what a truly OP skill gives at level 1. XD
Interesting that they let the supporting cast solve the elf's problem instead of heaping more praise on the ML, I assumed he would just yeet the curse away. I like that other characters get development, better than average isekai writing.
