That is a great question! I would like to point out that it can be a really deep question when considering many things in many scenarios.

This time around, I think they are treating a lot of them like Human-adjacent Predators. Beauty just makes things easier, unless a person has some kind of reason to distrust beautiful people the majority will go an extra step for them as long as the personality shown goes along with the "façade". The greater the beauty, the greater the universal attraction - the more "animal brain" takes charge by default.

It is an innate Human thing, the best similar phenomenon as an example is people protecting children 5~ and under. Some people do not have it but most tend to; an instinct that ensures that the Tiny Humans, are well cared for and corralled away from danger. Beauty has a similar but much weaker effect on the mind, a massive boon for something that consumes humans in one way or another.

He got proficiency; not doing a reread of this - not a this point. Like sadDrake13 said it may just be luck... but the Proficiency +1 x2, should be 1 from each corpse. In addition I think these were a pair of his "low-level" deaths. I based that purely on location/ 'distance traveled'.

Agreed

I assume you are referring to Solo Farming in the Tower. At least on MK this is like 2-3 years older, but yeah they are rather similar for the Cover Art. After the cover ...they are actually kind of similar in in many ways too now that I take a moment to think about it. The MC has a same-ish 'vibe' in both of them and this is one is the Darker take on how it would go(?) under different circumstances.

Yeah, I have heard mention of that on several occasions. Most places are at least polite about it, except the French. I have heard people that are French Canadian say things that would make any decent person turn their head. Those stories are like a half burnt out match compared to the face of a fellow I once talked to; He was born in a pure French speaking part of Africa. After going to France, he learned to speak English... So I hope those people were nice about it and I truly do mean that.

Artist really botch the scale on the hole at the end there. Unless the shovel is magical how in the world did he stab the lad in the shoulder with it from like 10+feet away... I honestly thought he threw the shovel!

I always thought that the movie '28 Day Later' gave the best take on it, Rage Virus variation was really something but I understand if people would argue that they were not really "zombies" because they were not technically undead. Though when it comes down to it the end result was nearly the same; different models or styles but still a vehicle that serves a similar(the same) purpose.

Now that I think about it though, if you discard mutation; the fresher the body the more able/better it should be able to function...

It was still in the realm of children's games. If it went too far, it could possibly violate whatever agreement his father has with the Country/Nation - the one where he is not allowed to step foot in said region...

So yes, the Prince has potentially created a future problem, but the Princess has potentially solved a MASSIVE right now problem...

Yeah English seems to get worse on a rapid scale. The Movie Idiocracy is terrifying and I hope I am long dead before it becomes reality, though I wish it never does.

As for the kill thing, it is like Quake back in the day or the modern day arena shooters, possibly MOBAs. I get why it does not make sense - that type of challenge/arena is not really appropriate(?) for that kind of call-out or I am possibly wrong and it only makes sense if rapid kills are taking place and that it obvious. Maybe it relies on thinking of it in the way of a spectator (/video watcher) and not a reader. NVM I tried to look up a quick search term to show an example but it seems a lot of things either skip calling out the first kill or say something generic like "NICE" and then ramp up on the third in a row. Meaning this type of thing likely has to have an 'intelligent' commentator for the context to make sense.

The long and short is probably better explained as: Commentator knew a series of kills was about to happen and called it as such. That is the best defense I can give the Artist/Writer/Translator, lol.

Well put. Lately it feels like I have been speaking to people that seem to speak in half(?) words, and it has really messed me up for the rare occasion that true intelligent communication happens.

I appreciate the proper use of English as a language, even if I am not fully able to reply with such anymore. Thanks for that, it was a good time.

Pretty sure it is a translation error of sorts (English is a messed up language)... it IS technically first kill, the first kill in a chain. It should have been denoted as 'SINGLE' or 'KILL' and not "FIRST" to avoid this particular confusion.

but even then it is an extra word that is typically not said said in English. It is normal for a game to only call the Double, Triple, Quadra, Penta kills in a chain and skip over the 'First' as a given based on situation/context. Other languages may actually have a word for it specifically that does not translate well but would still create a speech bubble.

Yeah, That is the basics of it. I imagine there is arguments for wording and other such things. I do believe that when I first heard/saw it, the example used two identically dressed Ninjas and had some other things going on that tainted my understandings on it. That really is a better explanation.

I am finding myself falling further and further out of love with the English language with all its versatility feeling like it has been lost, the more "modern" it becomes... Spoken is dominated by 'tone' and written can be marred by context (or lack there of). I feel like I can break into 'Old Man' ranting about people just arbitrarily adding or changing the meanings of words...

Calling it "low" does not even make any sense... They are not dignified nor respectable. He was suppose to leave it for what? Goblins, possibly some random person to find? The only reason not to have taken it is literally forgetting to...nearly everything else is likely going to be classified as naïve or moronic in reasoning, They were not "good" people, they were all literally Criminals, consorts/supporters to said Criminals, and there Hero was/is only acting under duress/threat/blackmail.

I think you are correct, but I am also slightly remembering it was related to his murder in the original story/time line, so depriving a potential unjustifiable(?) murder; if that is in fact the case, depriving a murder of resources I guess...

I read this while being super tired... you just have to replace all the MC's lines with wildly inappropriate insults, it was hilarious that way.

Not typically a fan of gag edits but this chapter might just shine with one.

Yeah, but they have mentioned it a lot that they can only really contend with the lower ranks; this is like some grade 4 school children getting rock by a boxer in college... and the children can never grow up while the boxer can go professional.

My fellow Countrymen are also rather inept in worrying numbers. The school system especially around Toronto Ontario really messes up our people when you add it in with all the other things; I'd hazard to say 5-8 out of 10 are coming out in a fundamentally broken way.
