Impossible, she's one of two main central characters where even secondary characters don't die.

I wonder with that line "thank you for your cooperation" whether or not they are going to kill her or try to. The light behind her being a flashlight or something showing the danger behind her

Well the trope of someone (especially MC but also some random enemies) loving battle is common and old, and not very interesting.

The twist on this one is basically sadism, MC doesn't care about the challenge of battle as much as beating people up of course some challenge and justification is desired as well. Not interesting either.

And of course the contrast of the least likely to be good at combat, a 5 year old girl, with being OP. You see a variant of this in ghost horror movies where a little girl is playing or has a doll or ball or something but is also threatening and dangerous. Meh.

MC has no interesting objectives, no personality that makes me want to invest in their story. I don't remember all the details why but I did drop this eventually.

Oh, you're saying "training off frame"?

First, you'd have to be supernaturally strong and fast to fight and move like MC does. Even if MC was a big pile of bulging dense muscles, something not drawn, it wouldn't be enough for that. Also to grow that much muscle in such a short amount of time despite showing lots of 'doing anything but training including alot of time shown in a wheel chair'.... even though it wouldn't be enough anyway

Also there is simple issue of mass/weight, a drop kick doesn't mean much effect when you weigh as much as a 5 year old little girl. The significance of weight for combat is why boxing has weight categories.

If the light were behind her feet maybe (and that area is drawn lighter like a light is there as well). But not anywhere close to how the shadow would appear from a overhead light like what is shown in the other panels. You agree the perspective oddly focuses on the area of that shadow, right? In a way where it seems significant somehow.

Sort of, if the person was really tall and/or in another position.

That shadow in the last scene doesn't make sense, and how the perspective seems to focus on it suggests that's important.

Also the panel with the face where it seems like es is staring at that area.

That old guy chained up is likely going to help somehow, going to offer to be experience, going to offer to help fight and MC becomes desperate enough to allow that, or both with helping fight and then dying and offering to be exp.

Armor that can be put on can be taken off, rip that armor of em. Or yeah aim for where the armor isn't. Head. hands or feet. Is it on the arms or legs I wonder?

Also there are dragons in this world? I don't recall seeing a single mythical/fantasy beast yet. Or is that just a fancy martial artist name for the armor type?

Well I don't see it as the same thing as your karen definition, I do agree that was bad way to do things. Still MC calmed down when MC figured out es was doing it for a duel. MC even smiles at this! https://i.postimg.cc/MpyMF61b/i.png The whole thing is especially undercut if the asshole actually gets the duel, which does seem like the most likely thing to happen.

Though again provocation is the point, literally trying to start a fight. Yet the chosen provocation was so extremely pathetic that it shouldn't have had any effect on MC. Trying to provoke a duel instead of properly ask for it is understandably upsetting, which is why the duel should absolutely be refused even though I do think it will be accepted.

But if there was no intent to provoke a duel. Let's say it was all meant, they just didn't feel like eating lots of MCs food unless it was legendary complex and only mildly expressed this after being asked. That should have been like water off a ducks back with MC, like I said. Especially as MC claimed special unflappable skill. https://i.postimg.cc/Cx1krBFy/i.png Yet this tiny bit did significantly perturb you at first. Even if he was a troll doing it for the lawls it shouldn't have initially perturbed MC that much

Sure, a "sharp tongue" is aggressive. But so is martial arts. Should a martial artists be offended if they are said to have a sharp sword or a sharp strike? It means strength (in words) as well as aggressive. Someone being mean but clumsy with words could never be said to have a "sharp tongue" when ever I've heard the expression. Of course it is a translated expression so the meanings might not perfectly line up.

So do you disagree with "is being deliberately rude in any culture."? (btw this is nothing about my personal experiences in RL, I just know the entire world isn't this ... sensitive and easily offended)

Even with MC originally coming from modern chinese culture or whatever, it still doesn't quite fit with MC's modest character and not needing to be the best at everything

This expression, as crude as it is drawn, should not have been worn by MC for even a moment. Sure MC cooled down when MC realized it was a indirect way of pushing for a duel. IMO that should have made it more infuriating, not less.

Again 'it was not as complex as my high expectations expected' after being asked for their opinion and not eating much is total weak sauce even if the goal was intentional insult where they actually loved the food but just wanted to troll or something. Especially as MC is a high master at both martial arts and medicine. MC has no interest in being a professional chief or even as a hobby. So the weakest of criticisms directly asked for, about cooking that don't even really qualify as even criticisms should have rolled off MC like water on a ducks back right from the start IMO

Also wasn't being a "karen" in no way does that terminology apply. What, does the mythical "Karen" also want to duel a renownedly powerful martial artist? Is this Karen going to keep quiet about discontent till directly asked and give the weakest of criticisms imaginable as a reply as a way to get that physical combat?

I disagree. You don't need heirs to build a empire, you don't even need a empire build a nation

If it's a addiction to the power then it's not really a "attack" so how could a helmet reduce 96% of no damage? What the helmet reduces how much pleasure you feel?
