Just finished my reread, this is a truly beautiful series, fully recommended.https://i.postimg.cc/kMvpfF6x/i.jpg

It also just occurred to me that the alchemists are doing this not just for power but because the alchemists made the shelcons, and if it's found out the world is in this state because of their inventions they're going to have a bad tim

I consider her behavior more similar to something like Joseph joestar, like she knows what the negative outcomes could be but chooses to act the way she does regardless because she wants to believe in people, it's a naive viewpoint but it is one of the outcomes of one who suffered a lot, you either resent everyone for not finding the time to help you. Or you seek to help everyone you can because no one helped you and you know how much that sucked.

Think of a metronome, as it ticks from one end to the other in a steady rhythm, so too does the series flow from horny to wholesome - different ends of a scale - while refusing to abandon the other , as if it is bound to both.

And then he'd cum in his pants and start crying (what is that series man)

No in the first chapter she absolutely was not mashing a game controller. It does feel like the author's trying to make us forget that happened though.

Please... Reread the previous chapter my guy... She Already Knew about the Traitors, came to the mc to ascertain his purpose, learned their interests co-align and gave him the deal. given all this, it would be to both their benefits that her disciple be informed. Given your displayed reading comprehension I doubt you'll understand this comment though.

Yeah that applies for most any genre, I moreso meant why the idea wouldn't really appeal to or interests some people, like how some people just can't get on board with giant monsters even if you tell them that "no, shin godzilla is really good actually" if the whole basic concept repels someone there's not much you can really do.

She (the pirate Queen) already did, did you not read the previous chapter, that's what their whole conversation is about and she made the deal with him: he gets to go in with her disciple, but if her disciple doesn't come back she's killing him. She already knew about the traitors, did you just... skip that part? Like her boss is onboard and if her boss told her to trust him, she would be inclined to.

Note I didn't say "bad" or "dumb" I said funny, because from an outside observers view it is often a comedy of errors, also, for the sake of argument, he quite literally did just that with her boss before going into the gate. There's no actual reason the boss couldn't have just told her subordinate in private to "trust that guy about the traitors".

The Manga Beelzebub, it's the Zebul Seal, or Zebub Emblem? I haven't reread it in like a year so the name escapes me.

It's always a little funny when the mc of something just starts killing people and then after the fact explain that "oh no here's why they have to die" like "you would have got my cooperation if you explained earlier" "yeah but it's cooler to look like I betrayed you before revealing that I was good the whole time"

So no one else noticed that that heroes party happens to conveniently line up with some of the f****** giant monsters he fought, the guy all the way to the left is the wall the skinny guy with black hair is the guy he just killed, that flying thing was probably just that other wall guy's pet or something. I like the way story is disseminated in this it's like if dark souls had story instead of lore.

God damn there's a lot of racism in the comments, like holy shit literally frame one first non light skin person and they go off.

I can really appreciate the sadness and nuance in this on a second read, rather it be the father's attitude being one of the stern begrudging discomfort towards his son like he's disappointed but he doesn't want to appear soft like his wife so he defaults to this brick wall approach that leaves no openings for his son to grow, or his mother that does the opposite and is happy and acknowledges even minor improvements to his condition but maintains an emotional distance out of fear of hurting him further, or the fact that it becomes clear that he wants to get better if he wants to go out there but it's to the point that he physically can't- it's crushing him. living his life from his room for the past 3 years wasn't a cowardly retreat or an admission of defeat it was simply pain avoidance, he tried to go out into the world and the world hurt him every time after one mistake and what he learned from that was "don't go out into the world and you can't make mistakes."

His behavior actually really tracks if you look at this as someone who is delusional and disillusioned with the world because he got essentially false accused by his society unilaterally, he retreated inwards and retreated to fiction, because fictions largely safer and more predictable fiction can't hurt you or betray your expectations of it the way people can, he's by no means entirely in the right but his actions are all clearly understandable as a trauma response (alongside his mental diagnoses) and what becomes important in that context is how he grows from here.

It's funny cuz in real life if someone said something like that with the specific context he was in all he would get was a " pause hold up" and a lot of memes with the caption but no one would seriously think he's a pedophile, his delivery on that s*** must have been so bad that it's just made him seem like a creep. Even still they completely f*** this man's life up over essentially a poorly framed reference to a bad joke, https://i.postimg.cc/y8cv43GY/i.jpg
