Yeah I thought that line was going to be a reveal for a second...

I do feel a little bad for the dad, he just wants his son not to be a villain, but as a result he gets no affection from him.

I'm guessing the second one, because you said not having the name on it implies the instrument is being suppressed in some way, so the name coming out is a form of full release I suppose.

Bro I forgot about her, I guess the author did too.

It seems like he has a slightly different specialization, every fight he's had in his past life seem to be pure "floating 30,000 things and stabbing people with them" type telekinesis with very limited hand to hand, now he's kind of swapped them where hand-to-hand is his main method while telekinesis is more support.

It is kind of funny that they're doing all of these romance sub-plot tropes like the "he doesn't understand how he feels about this yet" "they wouldn't be doing all of this if they didn't love you" not knowing that they're going to hit the Grand Ole wall of "bro I'm like 45, it's a hard pass"

Man pulled an Indy.

Boy I hope the answer is vampires because that's the dumbest possible answer I can get right now, for this series to take a Dracula direction.

Well the son is entirely for the purpose of him managing his territory, like he gave her the quest to increase her loyalty and trust so that he could make her a vassal since vassels that are made out of awakened are much stronger.

Dudes older brother is about to get f****** evicted bro.

His territory only increases a certain amount with every level up and the first time it increased they gave him his neighbors house, the next time it presumably gave him the Halls but it is yet to give him more rooms at least not on screen.

I like it, he's not some genius who plans every step ahead or some kind of edge Lord cutthroat, he's dead ass just some guy that hasn't been able to leave his house because of the Apocalypse that's to figure out what to do next with the things he has available and the mediocre skill and intelligence he has to work with. He's a little too trusting but given that he hasn't actually had to suffer most of the negative consequences of the Apocalypse by virtue of just being in his house that sort of makes sense. (especially since he's borderline useless without having other people around to use being that he can't leave at all.)Edit: just caught up and for anyone that wants the heavy strategist main character that is a little bit cutthroat, the main character does start to get a bit of an edge to him the stronger he gets and the more he understands his abilities.

If you noticed in a previous chapter he has giant big foot ass feet, so of course he's constantly breaking his f****** ankles like he's playing LeBron.

I just realized how strange it must be to explain to the people that stayed hold up in houses without Awakening powers that "oh yeah people have magic now, hell is full and the demons are here...
anyways go to the 30th floor for a fresh magical shower!"

You do got to keep in mind that he's just some f****** guy, and not even a particularly impressive guy, he hasn't even had to experience the worst parts of the Apocalypse because he's literally just been trapped in a house where the worst thing that happened was that he had his utilities off for a bit, like he hasn't experienced the things necessary to harden him into a person that would think smarter, more paranoid or plan farther ahead, from his point of view everything's worked out so far so he should just kind of keep winging it and learn as he goes
At least that's the way I've been viewing it and it makes the whole thing kind of fun, because I've seen geniuses handle tough situations in fiction a lot, but far less often I see a guy that's genuinely kind of mediocre have to deal with the situation Taylor made for a genius. It's like watching someone that sucks at RPGs try to figure one out without ever learning how to play it properly.

While I do understand people's complaints with his actions so far, they all make sense when you consider that he's not some genius, not some hyper strategist edge Lord, he didn't come back from the past - wasn't prepared for any of this, he is legit just some f****** guy, that's been stuck in this house since the apocalypse started and as such has only encountered the Apocalypse through his window while suffering limited negatives from it, and is working off of average guy intelligence at best While essentially flying from the seat of his pants, all while being anxious about his family so he is trying to kind of do things as fast as he can with very little information - he's not the type that's going to be overly cautious and plan four steps ahead- he's the type that's going to get f***** over once or twice before he learns his lessons and becomes cautious.
Hell that Dad over there only experienced a bit of the Apocalypse before he holed up inside too and it traumatized his whole family.

I was really surprised that he didn't even get a mention.

Ah the "sit and wait" method it is continuously the funniest way to time travel.
