Shop beats MC and crew hands down, they're all forced to work there for the rest of their lives! 👍👍👍

The Miki abuse is unreal, just let her have her "backdoor Beep" on Suzu, ffs (this is a joke btw, kind of)

Exactly, Hojae's looking out for people in the same situation the best way he knows how.

Just a thought, but I think each likes something different about him. Humans like his drive (and probably get "I can fix him" vibes), reptilians/amphibians love his face, werebeasts think he's funny, and if it's dragons I'd imagine it's something about strength/rarity (as dragons in many stories are strength loving / greedy).

Hojae making the frogs gay

You're bringing it to my attention that there's a theme between manhwa adaptions where the main character acts lamer than they really are (like in Eternally Regressing Knight).

Actually having mentioned Eternally Regressing Knight, this chapter here is called Eternal Hammering. Is it also called something similar in the novel or is it supposed to be a sudden random reference?

What are these background characters on about? "Isn't that too much for the runner-up who was pushed aside by Agnus?" HUH?? Agnus came in with the benefit of an ambush, talked cocky + big, achieved nothing, and then ran away. Someone remind me how exactly Agnus pushed aside the first king and greatest blacksmith?? When? Do they believe something as silly as "Greed had to bring out an NPC at the end, he's weaker actually"? Because that would be utter nonsense if so as Agnus was doing that the entire time and still lost.

That said I still find it unbelievable that people saw cocky coward Agnus run away after achieving nothing and decided he was so cool they had to join him en masse.

There was a retcon that suggests the author isn't paying much attention to the story as they write it. Also the multidimensional battle royale format doesn't have anything to do with skill at all, you're simply either very lucky or you came in already powerful enough to hog all the resources, and MC is just lucky he isn't matching anyone OP enough to do that. Really MC is too lucky, and it's inconceivable to believe he'll ever rise to the top when there has been 20+ matches before his time which implies there's top 10 streak winners who've done more games than he can ever hope to reach.

I'm not sure being "unable to bring real world items in unless under a specific circumstance" even flies here, we saw in earlier chapters that completely random people from different dimensions were transported with whatever they had on them (weapons, armor), so UNLESS it's a retcon MC is perfectly capable of putting something like that crystal into the pocket of his hoodie.

Yeah, probably a retcon, this story is really simple anyways I didn't expect anything more.

True but the effects on vampire physiology are probably insignificant and get out-healed/removed on ingestion anyways

He deserves a Bonnie to his Clyde, nothing sweeter than a murder fueled couple

I'm not sure how in-universe people could even be hyped about Agnus or his faction? He ambushed Greed and his allies, acted extremely cocky only to achieve nothing, and then ran away when things got hairy. VERY FEW people would want to join up with the cocky coward Agnus.

There's a kill feed, they couldn't possibly be tricked by a false death

Burn it with dragon fire, problem solved!!!

Would be great if she acted like a cat in the presence of Encrid, honestly it might even save her skin and gets her pets :3

Possibly, if his killing intent is strong enough the clown might have his heart stop or undergo an ego death, I hope for this tbh, best use of losing the table

Unless she's local (installed into your skull)

Having a digital waifu streamed to the 5 senses will be the best thing ever, fr

It's not like he and Alpha didn't anticipate this, all of that training was in part for moments like this where he's without support. Probably not good for their bonding when he's even momentarily swapping back to his natural state of self reliance though.

Bald lithe shadowy figures are a must, indeed
