I kinda agree, but, you should not stress the point anyway.
It's capped at 999, so if you make some little effort it is very easy to get it to cap.
Therefore the point worth is not much, and does not tell somebody's reputation either.
TLDR. You are not punished for upvote or downvote, since the point is dirt cheap.

I'm more concerned about reading replies and history, as I'm often asking for sauce.
I really miss the features from old disqus D: 

For example, here, I'm upvoting myself and lose 50 points (iirc).
But I could care less anyway as explained above.

From what I read in the novel, no.
She is a mother character in this story, her thought process is "wish the best for Liam".

Liam sees her both as a motherly figure (family) and love interest (at times), but mostly as a mother.

Not yet, patrick still need to be stronger than her

well it's the academy arc, obviously yes.

The manga seems to go for the unreleased third ending of the game.
Which is not in the game due to time and budget constraints.

Reboot an old game, just to make a small GIF on the last page.
Thumbs up to the translator team.

Regarding to some comments here:
From the earliest chapter, readers have been hinted about the impending doom of the country.
With the mysterious lady and the mysterious wolf appearance, I think this story is all about surviving the war, it's just that the progress is slow, and we sometimes forget about it due to how slow it is.

Meanwhile the romance, is just a sub plot for the story. Think of it as a fuel for the reader.

Yes, pick her up.
Better than this dense MC.

The author is unfair / biased.
Zirconia gets all the true shiny points
While Lieze and Valetta only get the crumb points.

It's like watching Macross frontier again, where
Sheryl get all the good plot and points (And even better VA),
Poor Ranka stood no chance.

From how the Grisaea village is just behind the fort, that smells like tragedy

This chapter reminds me when I'm playing Troll Jungle Survival (IIRC) custom game in wc3.
Was playing with 2 newbies, 2 of us hunt foods and materials, the other two stay at camp, finishing most of the hard earned food, keep getting sick and require attention 24/7.

4 billion yen, but he is burning it fast

She really learned nothing.
And just dumping everything to our guy.

I guess missing person case happen very often in this story setting.
