With sisters recommendation and MC rep, I think xhe had already decided to recruit MC before even meeting MC. Sure the games might have been a final test, a getting to know you, of MCs intelligence and such. But mostly it was a chance to try and recruit MC, getting closer to MC, IMO.

Not sure why you brought up enjoying watching stuff. But now that you have, I don't enjoy watching games. It seems like watching people eat or something. There are games I very much enjoy playing, but no games do I enjoy watching much.

I looked back and then back some more. This is the most I could find.

Assuming this is a very weird system notification (never notified this before, almost like the system is trying to hide Aust is still alive) it's also entirely meaningless in a world full of supernatural powers.

No experience or evolution points gained, this should be a obvious and rather definite sign to MC, still alive. How long as MC lived in this weird world? A pretty long time, with countless experience killing and immediately getting notification of experience/evolution points.

Exactly. I so get tired of the 'Always give into hostage situations.' trope that seems to contend that good people have no choice but to always cave to hostage extortion

"Give me the artifact that I will use to destroy the world including your girlfriend or I'll kill your girlfriend! You can trust me that I won't kill her anyway despite you giving me the item of power, because I'm evil and crazy!"

There is a certain element of 'good guys are so arrogant that they will for sure win despite giving away the important thing' to it. But also just seems to be a implication you got to be evil yourself to not give into hostage situations. Like you didn't love them in the first place or some shit.

That said, it's been stupid that Helmut hasn't told anyone about this shit. Hopefully the story deals with Helmuts need to learn to work with others and such.

Not from being slightly cold with plenty of stamina and good health.

Being cold doesn't make you sick unless you are out of stamina. Humans are warm blooded, we are perfectly capable of of maintaining best body conditions as long as we have the energy left to do so.

I don't know how you reached that conclusion, I don't believe that is the case.

How good are you at GO?

If xhe really wants MC to play for real, use a carrot? Offer a enticing reward for winning?

Of course a important villain gets away with info.

Putting blood and dead bodies in a lake is a good way to poison all those people who depend on that water source and even depend on the animals that depend on that water source.

Trouble understanding that situation

It's that one? Weren't they friendly with that being, at least for awhile?

What, pop quiz? If this was a entrance exam, doesn't seem complimentary that MC had to take it twice.

Someone please remind me about this "imitation gladiator" person. Did I accidentally skip some chapters or something?

Seems kind of contrived for everyone to first just forget Sharon but not anything else. Like the author meant to give that misleading cliff hanger.

What if the Darkness Mage absorbed everyone's memories of MC or something as part of a elaborate revenge against a entirely different person.

Yeah, the unnecessary secret trope strikes again

Which thing MC said do you refer to?

Totally. You brought points that slipped my mind as well. Just so many reasons it's stupid to kill a kid because of a possible alternate future.
