I think the fundamental reason this story is written as such is because, while the author is certainly clever, they recognize that they arent a genius writer. That cognizance perhaps is what lets them write such a good story, because they dont step outside their bounds.

Well, yea, he can stand next to the attack after letting it go. And without worry too, since its his mana. Hes not blocking the attack, its just not effecting him because the attack is filled with his will and he is the true owner of it.

The reason its not inefficiency is because, as Ive said, hes controlling the state of the ball of mana with his will. He is literally telling the ball that when its compressed its now in a natural and stable state. Think of it like if you could turn off radioactive decay of uranium by willing it into stability at the same molecular weight that normal uranium would be continuing to decay at.

Essentially you are ignoring the intent and will portion of this attack. Also, yeah, he doesnt care about allies lol hes a solo player in hell difficulty. Even the girls he had to "protect" in one of the previous rounds 100% died to his attack despite being at least several kilometers away (abubu revived them).

Ultimately the attack is stronger than a simple nuclear explosion when taking into account the compressed sword energy. The lack of dispersion of force makes it multiple magnitudes more deadly.

I want to say I appreciate your comment, but there are a few problems with the scenario. Hes not exactly compressing matter as much as he is compressing a form of energy that can exude force upon matter. Its hard to say if its more or less energy dense than actual matter, but the important part is hes also controlling it with his will which allows him to do things that a normal weapon could never in our world.

Because he can compress his mana and form it into "sword energy" the penetrative capability magnifies significantly. Its the difference between a normal explosion and a shape charge you control at will, not transferring any of its energy outward as excess heat or dispersion of kinetic force.

Maintaining the compression also doesnt use as much energy as you would imagine, because he is literally willing his technique to maintain its state as if it were naturally like that (thats why intent driven energy is so op imo). Originally the technique was out of control at that point of spinning, but he managed to "own" it, which is also why it doesnt instantly kill him when he uses it too.


Combine the kinetic energy of a fision bomb with thousands upon thousands of strands (if not millions) of intent driven sword energy and give it enough rotational acceleration shoot out at the speed of light upon command. Now you have a fantasy weapon that turns continents into cubes, instead of 'just' glassing a small portion of the surface, ejecting most of the actual energy outward towards space due to redirection during ablation.

So like... Why didnt he immediately take the necklace off? I feel like this isnt even as complicated as 2 + 2. This is like "water makes you wet" levels of simplicity.

Thats just chinese culture

Nah i think thats about right. Those swords are 1.5 handed swords I believe meant for use with a shield mainly but can also be used 2 handed in a duel.

For starters, his childhood friend who's a girl could have been slaughtered or raped and killed.

Are you naturally this retarded or are you playing a character? The boss should obviously describe him, and in that description hed obviously include the fact the client can not use aura.

That first conversation made no sense. As in, I think the translation was messed up because they were using words to converse like they were in different conversations at the same time.

The world is really fucking big. Most people on the other side couldnt even imagine a legion of a few hundred or thousand monsters could possible cross it to get to them without stretching themselves too thin to actually put up a proper offensive.

Well crashout or burnout, cant remember exactly its been months.

I know this is a joke but its really not even close to similar. Its more like strings of sword energy wrapped around itself like a ball of yarn, then compressed to the density of a star and rotated faster than physics allows for normal matter. When its release the sword slashes flourish like a cascade of lasers ripping through the world.

Someone spoiled that Kim Dabin is going to have a total crashout and honestly im just waiting for that.

I think this might unironically be worse translation than a machine TL. How the actual F does this have a scanlation group working on it? Are those editor notes just AI generated or something? I hope this group drops it in the coming chapters because this manwha is becoming unbearable to read.

The scrolls drop food when used, and he killed like 100+ monsters, now jes REALLY loaded up on his reserves lol

So I guess he won against his teacher because he played like a reckless player while also being somewhat of a total sword prodigy himself? This manwha does very little to explain progression except for when it becomes a plot point, but I guess hes really become a sword master. And considering his teacher has a kid now, either alot of time has passed outside of the game or the game runs at a faster speed than in the real world.

So either its as the other commenter said that he ignored an "ear infection" aka criticisms of other players or its a play on words for middle school syndrome or a double entendre.

So i dont really get the level scaling here. The MC is like, level 100, and another god class that defeated a legendary class loses to him despite that class being an offensive god class. Unless they are within level range I cant imagine that god class is lower than level 200 or even 300. How tf do stats work in this game then?

This feels like the author just wants "cool thing happens" so he creates situations the MC wins over without actually thinking about how that looks in the story universe. All logic gets thrown out for a "cool thing" happening.

Someone turn the concerned phoenix face into a meme template please

Wait. I just thought of something. If this game can literally force you into an induced gluttonous rage, wouldnt it be able to do the exact opposite. Like couldnt it literally just delete your appetite and also manipulate you to not think of food (if you are like MC who is obsessed)? Also couldnt the game have just induced the little girl that couldnt eat into being hungry?

I feel like this game would be amazing for psychological disease therapy, but its literally not doing that, almost on purpose. Only if you meet a literal god class character or go on a legendary class quest will you actually get proper therapy.
