My mind must have went sideways, probably because it was something I watched far too long ago. I somehow thought of the Silver Spoon Anime, the pig in that one does not have a good end... really not sure what I was thinking on this one.

Though I know what series it is now that you pointed it out - it is that one where the guy has that neurological (?) disease/disorder/condition that makes him feel perpetually starved every waking moment, so his doctor has him feed his vice in a VRMMO.

Indeed, I saw a video explaining the origins of most 'Slang' and it was very similar to what has happened in the situation. It was along the lines of People [mainly children] not properly understanding the usage of language and words, or being improperly taught by their parents and adults around them.

In this instance instead of taking words from 20 years ago they have incorrectly learn the concepts from media that was wrong and ironically kept well to the information that was wrong on its face. I do absolutely agree that 'Asian medieval themed stories' get that stuff wrong; it is a "poisoned well" at this point. When I am of better mind, I try to drive interest towards learning (very hard to gauge interest in a topic from most comments/posts), there is far too much to explain nor do I really have the skills and interest in doing so.

Fantasy world context and/or forced reasoning applies, even with Humanity's sordid history of killing each other, beyond people there were only animals. Animals can be terrifying in many ways but that are not truly monsters.

I am not disagreeing with anything you said, just more so stating the evolution of weapons would most likely be wildly different in the presence of monster / magical metals. The real heart of the issue is people not using proper names for various reasons over a long period of time causing confusion - a personal example and hated of mine is people calling most forms a vehicle a "car"; right infuriating when your family lived in easy times had more than one vehicle and not one of them was ever a car.

Very very carefully. Though technically the sensors could be programed to centre point of the farthest contact points, that should allow for a fat finger like that or one with dead zones line mine to be more accurate/precise. I think modern phone work off the last place to have contact.

Unless names are a family's property, then in today's age with some studies stating that all people originated from a single female/male pairing, arguments can be made. No one owns it because everyone owns it; you just have to go back far enough and we are all family.

Or

Because the original owner of each name did not copyright it, it then falls into some kind of exclusion rule - I think that is how that works.

The premise of the point is solid, but that specific one I think has been specifically taken care of. I have been told though that Muhamad Muhamad used as both a first and last name has an extremely high number of instances.

For all we know they have a hidden ace that has the 'Power Nap' skill that grants a full nights sleep in a fraction of the time, so they just rotate drivers while doing a dungeon circuit. It is a good question though, I just wrote it off as plot instead of malice because of how long the chapters take.

If it is something I hope it is not needless drama...

Honestly thought leveling the Dungeon Teleport would just lift the restriction. Item Box going stasis just seems more "proper" to me; too many things get iffy if you can store an item box inside an item box, too much possible abuse.

Though a dark secret coming out because someone did not know that living inside an item box can get count towards some kind of entry restriction is interesting every once in a while. Though I am attached(?) to the idea of not needing a logistics network to do adventure.

Arguments for that would be based on if the fate in question was a good fate, evil/bad curse standards or whatever. Though a second argument could actually be that Reject Flow - if the naming translated well/correctly. By denying fate it self you are potentially denying its "blessing"; or you could even say that their attachment to the very world itself is being denied. By denying that attachment to fate that all other things should have it is like they are not a proper existence, so you can all on all the negative things that go with that, probably?

I get what you mean but his is like 11 at this point in time. If he just arrives back and kills his older brother for seemingly no reason(?) from the perspective of others... that might actually make one hell of a divergent story. Though I think they did establish that he was going ruin everything his brother became by stealing his glory and efforts.

Not overly convoluted but they really did not firmly establish that his goal is to basically turn every major success his brother claimed into a failure and push him into some kind of insanity or something; standard "A quick death it too good for you!" type deal. Though I could be absolutely wrong about that.

I myself was relieved of that notion some years ago. You may have been in the same boat as I was having your only good reference of a Rapier being the kind used for modern day [non lethal] Fencing. Its origin is that of a sword though, so why would they only have a sharp tip like some kind of weirdly held short spear... it only makes sense to sharpen the sides like a standard sword,. Then after you sharpen the sides it now has more ways to inflict damage. Then you also have to have to make other considerations, it is a main focus stabbing weapon so it would actually make a lot of sense for it to have a wider form at the base - to prevent suction when it is stabbed into a target.

Knife/Blade fluting is a thing too. Mainly done these days to help with cutting vegetables or butchering meats, but I have personally seen that it used on World War 2 bayonets. Not good with the history on that but I mention it as an example of purpose built designs for weapons of war/mortal combat. There is also a tv series about blacksmithing and/or forging metals that has a focus(?) on weapon making; I recall they did episode on Rapiers and - I was extremely surprised at the way the looked when finished. Might be worth a look!

This has a feel like it is in fast-forward mode; better described as frame skipping, I suppose. Feels like they make 20 pages and just cut out 7 saying not needed. Makes sense and I had no trouble following the story so.. more of a thing to be aware of rather than anything else really.

First 7 chapters were decent to good, so it has that going for it.

My point I ironically failed to make was one of clarity, many of the insults attributed to him are not ones he actually made; because others twisted what it was he actually said and added in their own words and context. They are not things he should considered responsible for...

Even some of the ones he actually makes are kind of invalid, can some of those things really be considered insults when the other party is the one making false assumptions and not actually conversating properly?

I get what they are going for and fully accept that I have a personal disdain for it because I have personally experienced it several times. They just push it past my limits and then do not recover well enough for me because the whole justification for it is basically summed up as: he is a moron; the level of stupid that makes people swear at horror movies - ya know, when the person make the worst possible move. At least a horror movie idiot can provide catharsis when they get done in after having signed themselves up for natural selection.

He is basically a moron I get that, but this level of forced misunderstanding, I am not even sure anymore... ah no it is just hits too close to home for me. People turning mundane questions into some kind of personal attack on themselves. I am just going to drop this one. It is like meeting someone somewhere and asking if they had any trouble getting there, and then they proceed to freak out implying that is was somehow meant to imply they could not drive properly or are too stupid to get on the correct bus or something.

No he really did not... he says one thing and everyone else just mixes the words around so that it becomes insulting. He basically says things like: "there are evil people and donkeys out there, be carful." and the people write his message down pass it on as "I heard you are out there being an evil bastard, you should really stay away from those donkeys you could catch something.".

This chapter and maybe a couple before it are possibly what you would originally expect from this series. The I don't know how many before, maybe seven(?, that is a shot in the dark guess) really sucked in comparison, cause I also put this down for a long while. The story was still going but it was like the wheels just disappeared off the car... it was like something essential was missing... Got nothing definitive for an answer on if the break helped with that or they story just got good again.

Might be better to say that this story rides a really thin line on what makes it really great and it is super easy for it to fall off that line. It is really great so when the expectation is not met, it can really be felt.

It makes sense to me. I think I am just tired, everything has a tendency to be just a bit harder when you are tired... walking tall, carrying the world on your shoulders, being vigilant of the doom & gloom.

Thanks for the humor and humouring. Helps a fair bit to communicate with a reasonable person from time to time, far to rare for me these days.

Oh, I can and will fully admit I am jaded. I have probably reached the middle range on the quadruple digits of people find negative intent on completely neutral statements, countless times I have born witness to stating objective facts being used as grounds for retaliatory harassment, Slander and outright deceptions justified as "just an opinion, bro".

So I know I can be jaded, mostly tired though. It is basically a life goal not to be outright rude at this point. I have lived in a place where lairs, cheats, thieves, etc. have not gotten the treatment they actually deserve.

Have you even watched/seen (can be found police footage) of a person just pushing the limits of another, they just keep going and going, then they feel the shift and suddenly back off cause they know the line has been crossed, then they start behaving and trying to act proper or do as they were instructed/told to do if the first place acting as if that is what they have been trying to do in the first place (with police a prime example is being told to leave or they will be arrested). far too many 'F around' and do not properly 'find out'.

I got a family member that is always doing the "wrong" thing, does not explain things properly, does things for people that you know will not repay or return favors. And a bunch of other things that any reasonable people would understand with not work out. Then proceeds to complain endless about how it is everyone else's fault -that is not a figure of speech; it is a literal daily occurrence (part of the reason I avoid them when I can).

I am just venting at this point, I have gave up on 'some' humanity; not all of it - there are still decent people. I would even say you are one solely because you added that disclaimer text.

English is not a good language, and seems to get worse as time goes on. I can not say your interpretation is wrong, nor can I argue that mine is right in a justifiable way. From my limited understanding this is far less of an issue in other languages; If it is because of words used or sentence structure, I do not know.

This is at the core of needless division. I would even argue that if/when AI hits 'singularity' it would wipe out faulty languages before determining if Humanity should actually be wiped out.
