Agreed.

Using your training to manipulate an already unsound individual, violates the Hippocratic Oath.

Just because the consequences are only reflects in a game, doesn't mean no harm has occurred, since as we see here, Angus is actively falling further into psychological breakdown because of Veradin's actions.

Just because the victim is willing, doesn't make it ethical.

This looks to be behind even the Anime 🤔

So...stubborn really does describe the MC.🤔
That said...it's a bit too close to my reality ...except replace the death to regress with the ability to see all the futures...and having to intentionally ignore that information to preserve my sanity.
We're both Stubborn, but in different ways.

Groundhog day🤔

So...based on only the other comments...one word sums up the MC:

Stubborn

I'll give it a chance.🤔

LOL

I think it's refreshing that they're not going for the abrupt tone shift on romance, like happens so often when a series gets too fruity, and homoerotic with the main characters.

So many series get the straightwash by this point, because the publishers get too scared of it.

Why? Is that a problem?

He said that the princess should be killed
Who could kill her, but will probably recruit her?
The demon king.
Why didn't her father kill her? Same reason
The morality of Earth does not apply...there are already plenty of examples of how Earthly morals are lacking in that world

Which is typical researcher behavior ...but even then, he did try to treat the MCas a human who held he keys to resolving the problem...unlike how the people who obtained Henrietta Lacks' cells who completely tossed aside her humanity in an effort to preserve her cell cultures over the objection of her family, and even denied attributing her name to the cell cultures for decades.

Which makes me happy 🤣🌈

Pride doesn't care when it hinders your goals too.
Basically, his pride is hurt, and it also happens to align with his goals to have it...and perhaps there's a bit of Tsundere romance mixed in.🤔💁🏼‍♂️🤣

He's a demon.

It's even stated that it's a common profession in the demon lands.

He's a demon, what else can you expect?💁🏼‍♂️ 🤔😅

One season

No updates for close to three years now...

True.
I mainly did it for potential people like you though.💁🏼‍♂️🤣
As well as for my own anxiety.🤔😅

Genius does not mean intelligent.

It means exceptionally talented in a particular aspect that is beyond what can be accomplished purely by effort and support alone.

A genius can out compete even the most well funded, and supported individuals in their respective particular aspect.

However, it comes with a cost of not being particularly good at things outside their talented aspects.

Okay, synopsis was a bit vague.
This is an isekai?
MC is normal human, playing video games.
Chapter 1 is the MC's final battle in a game, against the Boss.
During their character creation for a new game, they gave their avatar a ton of penalties to help maximize their stats.The punishment was probably from creating such an avatar.

We shall try this one now.🤔

Not even going to try this, because of the Herem tag.

It definitely is 😂
He wwas mentioned in a previous chapter on the leaderboard even

True.

Which is why I could survive these challenges...I already have pain tolerance and can force myself to stay conscious even when I lack enough oxygen supplied to my brain.

I also have a weird degree of stealth that works against modern sensors on occasion, and move lighter & faster than people would expect from a person my size.

I'm not saying it won't be a challenge, but I could survive it. When your threshold of success is survival, success is easier to achieve than some might think.

I'm used to fighting the inner demons of Depression and Anxiety, I even have Executive Dysfunction, so I wouldn't be shocked if just entering started granting me skills related to those efforts.

I'd probably get something like parallel processing, trajectory perception & foresight right off too...probably even get minor mind reading or some sort of analysis skill that grants me hidden insights to what people are thinking, based on existing skills I have.

Basically, my existence already is somewhat unusual, and such a situation would only exacerbate those things.
