There are many examples of "coming to understand" that uses music
• military uses music for most functions from induction to dismissal to death
• theater uses music as a means for introduction, intermission, and end. When a performance ends, they face the crowd with "the music" for better or worse
• Funerals also play music to help bereaved come to terms with someone's death

Although it's official time it was first used is debatable, music has played a role to signify an event. To "face" anything head-on is to "see it".
Thus to "face" the "music" is to watch, see, or come to terms with the event.
Used as an idiom when someone screws up, means to "accept the events you caused."

Usually idioms are nonsensical like slang so should be known but understanding why isn't important.
Bite the bullet
Eat crow
Insert foot-in-mouth
Reap what is sown
Dig your grave
Make your bed
Ect

Most idioms used are poetic comparisons to life that caught on in their time period.

This isn't OP.
• He can't cast it on himself
• affecting the world requires 3
• He can't remember the prior timeline
• One of the other 2 has to willingly give up memories
• It's unknown to us the level of support needed for the 2nd person (since he was fairly powerful)
• It's unknown to us if the 2nd support can be used 2x (since he has fleeting memories)

Even without the last 2, there are clear downsides that make it powerful but balanced

I wouldn't say it's brainwashing. Based on how she confronted Vice Captain, it seems more like exploiting weaknesses and desires. Possibly the ability to peer at them. My biggest guess is the spirit can't manifest itself in someone who doesn't have unshakable conviction, so she twisted the emotions to prolong manifestation. Possibly also snatched the power away during "resonance". Based on what we already know, it hasn't worked on anyone who MC grew a bond with.

basically,
It takes 3 to activate world level time reversal
The MC has full memory
The father has an ever fleeting memory (comes in dreams but forgotten once awake, but has a subtle feeling)
The Magic Tower wizard to cast

Although we can be suspicious of the father, however it's true he is a high class magician. Why he didn't retain the memories himself is baffling, since he could thwart all plans himself, which is why I question it. However, at the current moment, this is what fits.

to be fair, he hasn't yet (time reversed). Although he has vague premonition via dreams, he's not that person.

Needless to say, he can get screwed still since he had the capacity while she cared about him.

he thinks she's a RELATIVE of the imperial family. Wait till he finds out it's the family blessed by god.

not so. Just like a man eats, shit, and sleeps; An aristocrat doesn't respect commoners fundamental rights. Be it heavy taxation, SLAVERY, or even murder. These are concepts that are linked to each other.

It isn't wish fulfillment, it's wanting to be in line with concepts. Which start from historical medieval background ie aristocrat, knights, slaves, commoners, structures, transportation, ect. Drawing a time period and inserting your own story is much easier than creating a world history that fundamentally makes sense through economic policies with logical advancements. Notice I didn't say it's impossible, but stories that "stray from history" typically have illogical advancements (eg. CDrom without lasers).

But I did address "a matter of taste": medieval theme typically includes nobles, slaves, castles, ect. If you don't like them don't read em.

"historically accurate"

During a time where nobility are treated like gods and commoners are viewed like slaves.
A time period where the "born better" thrive off the backs of "lesser people"
Historically, any period where there was nobility being the active government body, there have been slaves.

So a time period where classism is abundant, yes, it'd be historically accurate. If you want to make a fantasy why include
Air
Gravity
Food
Water
Taste
Ect

It's a fantasy so what is the need? Because it's relatable and makes sense for humans to need it.
Why slavery in a class driven society? Because it's relatable and makes sense for a society that views people not being equal

YOU said that out loud chief.
If you don't like porn why watch it? Medieval theme INCLUDES slavery for better or worse.

Too absurd to engage with? You mean that:
"Scenarios where an MC takes advantage of other's desperate circumstances in order to max out loyalty with minimal effort are gross"
Isn't saying that a slave can't hate the MC if he treats him bad, or can't remain indifferent if the MC only uses the slave for work assigned?

From every slave theme situation I've read, the MC goes OUT OF THEIR WAY, ABOVE AND BEYOND what a slave owner should do to gain their respect. You think just because black people can't show thanks for white people dying and fighting to free them means all slaves need to hate the world for treatment in the past? Although that would be historically accurate for 1 race of a specific nationality, not every other slave's descendant or purged group of people's descendant is like that.

Get over yourself. You think you stand on a moral high ground when you're probably watching rape porn or loli porn.

are you insinuating that slaves can't have feelings? Gross

Are you insinuating that by treating someone well who was destined for abuse is bad? Gross

Are you insinuating slavery doesn't exist so current slaves shouldn't dream? Gross

Are you saying to portray a story historically inaccurately? Gross

If you make a story with a middle age period concept, there better be slaves, castles, and kings.
If you make a story in the current, there better be technology.
If you make a story with a futuristic setting, there better be advancements not within our grasp currently.

It's not about fantasizing, it's about sticking to the archetype of medieval time periods.

idk how many examples can be used.

How do you provide better context than what is already said? I can elaborate on it though.
Women become "the good housewife" bearing a man's child, cleaning the house, cooking meals, fucking the man, ect. The foundation of the relationship in these types of women are to "find a provider." This directly correlates to slaves in the story. If they do the previously mentioned, they get room and board in exchange for service.

You can think I'm horrible if you want, it doesn't matter. This is something closer to pro-life/choice anyways. However, I see nothing wrong with an "employer" providing daily necessities (food, shelter, clothing) in exchange for free work if there are limits in place to stop worker "abuse" (physical/mental, overwork, ect). In fact, it'd be better than it is now since employers don't even cover living expenses to work for them.

What do you mean? Women cook, clean and fuck millionaires just to live lavishly. Why wouldn't a woman who struggles to even live do the same to get out of that situation.

News flash, they still do this. But they call it being a married mother instead of slave.

I mean... Honestly... The story is a joke... Pretty sure it had comedy tag

Most characters are supposed to fill a joke
• misunderstanding
• dirty
• overly stern
• miserable fails
• wanting to be a villain, but unable to be because the territory is pretty much sucked dry
• ect

If dude can't understand comedy is a joke story and that there are different levels to it, that's on him.
Ie
Sole comedy (everything revolves around gags and jokes)
Comedic balance (focuses on a main story with funny situations)
Comedic relief (only uses comedy to separate low emotions to jump start the story forward)

Should have understood by chapter 3 this was going to pull gag after gag when he couldn't cause suffering unless he built them up first.

for sure... Political pressure to marry is something I'm sure he has no experience with. Being justified in rejection for maltreatment is an easy win bc we all KNOW it will be found out later

he legit spent years cramming knowledge in his head

On the very first practice inside avid, he perfectly controlled it. That makes him above a 1st class pilot. Who knows where he stands now.

I'd expect him to do nothing BUT come out on top

when you think about "going against humanity", what do you think actually think about

My guess is that the AI rooted out all corruption, replaced all jobs, and stopped inefficient things. This gave humans who felt the need to be superior, an equal foot with everybody. So the government attacked the AI to which it likely responded; which the government used as justification to the citizens for a full scale assault.

Just based on the AI at his side, it seems like the root out inefficiencies. Not harboring world domination.

logically, this is called sowing seeds of discord.
It makes one look for fault. Even in the most perfect of people, they all have fault. If analyzing, the smallest of circumstances can be made into a false narrative. Politicians use this all the time to discredit opponents.

Then we have the leader. Someone proven egotistical. He will without a doubt, fight by himself if he feels his party will be abolished. Like any good leader, they will pull the reigns that are slack

However, to someone looking for a possible future, this action in itself will appear to be him leaving them behind.
