He could not read him because of the System for his reincarnation (just a possibility). Something to add to my previous comment. Man the twist, turns, drama, and plots in this are outrageous.

If he going to try and peer into Gu's(the actual immortal) past and future, then that is pointless because of his reincarnation. His karma has already been severed when Gu (modern man) crossed over to this life. All that remains is to just keep pushing and making use of the people around him to save himself from being discovered.
I am not entirely sure it works like that, just my two cents.

I will thumbs up but that was a misused word there. A small correction; They're (they are), They'll (they all/shall).
Using "They're" in that sentence causes it to read: They are all will.
I would like to add that I am not making fun or talking down to you, lord knows I speak the language and still have trouble with it.
Just thought to help a little, if you take it.

Well it seems like Thor's new battle axe is coming for this series... The royal family screwed this whole thing causing drama for no reason. She could have just had him killed and took the throne but she was trying to be clever and scheme. Either way this way gold now turned bronze.

I can not stop laughing at this gif!!!!! This is too funny!!!! The simplistic rules of nature not being cautiously observed and then getting due karma for being stupid enough to trying to tempt them. *Chef's kiss*

Don't know about that but I am almost sure that the blacksmith could combine those swords to make a better one by now.

I guess that is going into the re-read list so that the other ones have more chapters waiting when I am done.

Which is really crazy when you think about it. Because it is not like he choose this life, they literally left this man with no choice and just caused him continuous torture for several lives. And now they mad cause brodie got some strength to fight back and build a place for himself in the place he was discarded to, it is truly laughable the time these beings have on their hands.

Speaking of Return of the Crazy Demon, where has that been at? I thought something was missing from my life but could not figure it out...

Yuki is a trick for doing all this bullshit, this dude could just play his position but he is going around playing some kind of shadow villain causing problems for everyone. I do not like this dude, you betrayed the MC who gave a whole library of manga all because he would not tell you how to fix the longevity issue with summons. He petty for real.

There seems like it has juice that is worth the squeeze... A bountiful cluster of WTF drama unfolding... I will add it to the list, sometimes a break from the usual is good.

I just clicked the last chapter and do not what is going on. I will say this, is she was not giving him affection after he tried to be close her then she can not be mad that he choose to find companionship outside of the relationship. Because those things usually happen because the intimacy is not there even after trying to figure out how to grow closer to her.
With that said though.
If he is just bored and decided to cheat on his wife for thrills, then he she has all rights to be upset.

I forgot about that. I just remember them not being able to say anything (because the system or world bugged when they tried) when she confronts him after the wand picking. I am not sure why I thought he did not know about he novel part though, guess I was not giving it my full attention because I honestly did not get fully invested until this last arc. I was just reading just as filler.

I still stand firm that flame is creating a dangerous situation for the MC though. But I guess that is supposed to be the charm of the story. I do not why but, she is almost like a Rachel (IFYKYK) character to me so I find it hard to give grace to her actions.

And as funny as that is, Flame's moves only create bad endings because she thinks it is romantic to follow the story even with the tragic end that happened.
And the MC's has completed the game through all the routes and does not know there is a novel to the game. So he is just trying to play a hardcore game route and avoid death as best he can. But Flame is moving crazy ever since she found out that they are both from outside the created work (novel and game).
Although he agreed to this silly plan, she should have moved a little wiser knowing that Prince's personality is warped. There was a tactful way to avoid this whole debacle.

HOLY CRAP!!! I LITTERALLY JUST GOT IT!!!

That is a concern I have had as well. It is one thing to be completely oblivious to what effect you have in game, but when it comes to his real life there is not a lot of action there. He has already accomplished his goal of money and stability for his folks. Now he should look to taking the real world serious. Doesn't matter the relationship to me but at least see how the people around you are affected by him.

I kind of wished he would have put more slaps to her face, but a sword mark is good too. I am expecting a major leap in hos martial arts during this fight.

you sure about that? because this is her...

I like how he keeps attacking her weakness... she wants to power up, slap the face. trying to escape, slap the face. not wanting to die, slap the face.
She has to focus on keeping that youthful appearance so it is an easy angle to work.
