I feel like nihei has gotten worse at writing... I don't remember or care about these characters tbh

You will see, if this follows the LN.

You mean two weeks? Next week they'll just start to trash talk

I dropped in volume 2 because it went off the rails unfortunately. At that point I think he had kissed the childhood friend, mom, and sister (yeah...and the childhood friend stripped and asked him to smash). Basically all of the women in his life want to fix him with "love". He was still kind of emotionally messed up but he more or less forgave all of them and was friendly with the girls. I hope at least he will not end up with any of them, but honestly it looks like a harem. Too much ecchi to continue. With that being said, I heard the webnovel was slightly different, maybe this adaptation will go in a different direction. I doubt it though

It would be fine if she went into "overdrive" and released a lot of energy in the form of heat, that more or less makes sense. People are familiar with things heating up because of the friction of the atmosphere, as well. However, it doesn't make sense to light yourself on fire to make yourself faster, full stop. It is not intuitive, and your explanation doesn't really align with what is said in the manwha. The author doesn't even provide an internal explanation for what happens, it's just lazy writing.

Somehow they bring him out of his depression by repeatedly molesting him :| honestly it would be a way better read if it wasn't ecchi + harem.

You're right with the mom. His sister tried to kill him and told him to disappear, so she fucked him up the most. Also right with the childhood friend. The basketball girl asked him out while he was recovering from the other girl's rejection, he asked her to give him some time (until he won the basketball tournament), and then he overheard her telling her friends that she didn't actually like him and basically asked him out because she pitied him :|
There's also the elementary school teacher "milf" who accused him of stealing something he didn't steal, and in doing so indirectly caused him to be bullied by his class.

Is it really?

Bro all of this guy's relatives want to touch him inappropriately 😱 LN is crazy

Indeed the LN is pretty weird too. It gets worse lol

Honestly you can just reread it from the beginning with how early it is. Novel is up to 160 chapters already so I don't remember if there were any plot differences, but the novel gives you more worldbuilding and more of MC's inner monologue, I think.

Yeah idk how they intend to adapt the novel when they are already behind on chapters (this part happens in ch.17 of the novel) and are missing a lot of info as it is.

Because the author is pulling things out of his ass lol

Credits? Lame

Lol

Fire makes her faster? This is some horseshit lol, no effort by author

So he's cool with just killing people now?

I mean it's definitely strong against weak opponents but I feel like it's a bad matchup against anyone with some offensive power. As far as the aura thing goes, I don't remember it being a problem for any other characters, so I would assume it's an issue unique to his shield. The problem is arlo can barely use it offensively, it's range-restricted and seems to have some limitations on trapping people, so if someone can stay out of his range the best case outcome is a stalemate, otherwise they just chip his shield until he starts taking damage. I don't see why blyke wouldn't be able to body him in a fight as long as he has space, and yet blyke is ranked more than a full point lower than arlo.

Ngl arlo's ability sucks. What's the point of a barrier that "defends" you if you take damage as well?

The novel mentions multiple times that the elf avatar is beautiful, but has an ambiguous gender. I don't remember if it ever got cleared up since I skipped most of the last third of the chapters. That being said I think it fits better for eldar to just be a girl based on her personality
