i mean if it followed real world logic, the girl would never have joined him. There are too many facts that point to her not being the killer. The only way she would be charged is if no investigation happened. Which is proven to happen as they have uncovered the fact there are copycat killers.
Mc seems like a man with principle. He wouldn't kill her if her number remained at ≥1 no matter how curious. He'd just watch her more closely. Especially because she is the only anomaly that aligns with what was depicted as an important promise. That was the real reason he decided to kidnap her.

if this isn't a "joke" comment, then this is just a dumb comment

It feels like it could be great. They have a logic that numbers don't change (for the most part). They introduced a death countdown. There is a predicted victim number, maybe accomplice number, or who knows? The only real thing is to make one or two same type murders, then move up to mass casualty, then character development and police conflict or this series will bottom out fast. Writing something like this has a low threshold for creative leeway but a chance at something good.
Unfortunately, I've already felt like this repeats too much at this point.

the whole plot is numbers.
The problem is when he explains the why he only sounds like a lunatic so his actions don't ever actually influence the other person. It's not like he ever actually waited long before he finished them. They either understood or didn't

honestly starting to get upset at the most logical solution right now. I've been waiting since the slave bracelets were first introduced.

Mr shadow is an infiltration specialist with access to slave bracelets. Why hasn't he made the princess his slave, commanded her to transfer al her slaves into his possession (so she can't frame him for illegally owning them if she is the transferee and can't claim he stole them if she transferred them with proper documentation), then make her reveal the plot with her own mouth while he's at it.

If this was me I'd use her to force a conspiracy against the crown as my slave making her gather nobles, commoners, and outside kingdoms to overthrow their own reign. It'd be easiest to do with her current image, whilst making her preach anti-slavery. Fastest way to ruin her life. Take away her will, then her backer, followed by her status, and finish her off leaving her poor, unarmed, and alone in front of her victims.

Lmao

That works on the outer layer but what about the frost set in the skin 🤔🤔🤔

In wuxia, auspiciousness is important. From birth to death, signs of fortune and prosperity are treated like the gospel. It's a foundation of culture thus something simple like this is what westerners would take as a sign from god.

that dog knows what's up

I'm happy he kissed her even though it was forced... At least it made him happy...

🙄🙄🙄

1st... Every choice in life can be made into value. Whether to get involved or not, to focus on studying, to do drugs, exercising; it all comes down to present vs future. Some people have a future laid out so they can focus on the present, whereas some are too humble and rely on using the present to build their future.
Of course there are those who float because they went the wrong way due to not caring or investing the wrong way (ie a rich man can use poor men a dime a dozen, so it's worthless being a cronie vs having value)

2nd... I decided to be forever lvl 1 😂🤣😂

not quite... Magic is expensive to learn. If you remember correctly, the cost of a single book was worth months of lodging at an upper class hotel.
Not saying that it isn't easier to use magic, but that it isn't feesable for most commoners. Afterall, even the AI from the ship couldn't catch a glimpse of it while monitoring so many places.

Just based on the fact that it isn't common reeks of nobility/royalty suppression... Which is understandable since it's equivalent to handing it's citizens automatic firearms... But at the same time also shows the average person doesn't use magic.

Then we also have to discuss that via magic they can use things like "artifacts" which then would be rebutted that the artifacts are so expensive that it would be more economical to learn how to use the spell in the first place as you wouldn't need to replace the energy source.

basically this is a world where the commoners should have at least made SOME advancement in technology other than a horse drawn carriage when magic stabilizes the economy by making things obtainable, at least to a point where the country is a hairs width from turmoil given the slightest disturbance

Order 69? Wouldn't operation double cowgirl be better?

100%... combination of worldwide spices, parasitic and bacterial awareness (raw foods and new types of food: Fish, seafood, produce, animals) (rot vs fermentation), use of frozen stuff outside frozen regions, gastronomy, transportation of perishable ingredients, and many more like what you said. Each step was taken as science, technology, and medical achievements were made.

Most people are used to preserved foods, ready-made spice mixtures, condiments, and frozen pre-made meals that they forget that most are revolutionary during times where ease of access is miniscule and shelf life of perishables may last a couple of days instead of 1-2 weeks + in a fridge.

Felt that too...

In that case the other saint was there and could have easily healed... I mentioned all the possibilities somewhere else

i was thinking the same thing.

If jelly would have stolen the cookies, she wouldn't have been at the orphanage. If she shows up, she wouldn't steal...

Even if the kids are the target to shift blame on jelly, celestein, or the church, with 2 saints there (even if one didn't know how to heal), there is no way that the other would neglect the poisoned kids/saint who became poisoned without becoming a scapegoat for not being able to heal someone.

The only way this works is if you were probing strength, nature, or both. But then it doesn't match up with what the guy says either.

Thus, this is 1000% a plot-hole

it sounds to me like plot.
Even if we conclude that jelly has changed, she wouldn't steal from kids in the case of true reform.
If we conclude that she hasn't changed then there is no way she would have even showed up.

If the target is jelly this can only be a plot-hole

i think the answer is just you mimic the blood. If you are controlling the body through blood, then everything connected to blood is controlled.
IE the skin may still be cut, but the "blood" is pushing the skin together. Not necessarily healed?

I think its closer to both.

Because the slime became the blood, it is essentially able to puppeteer the body, but because it's not able to extricate itself, it has become one with the body.
