innocent? so if someone killed your family then hired an army to protect themselves, and the army knew they were guarding a man who justly deserves his fate, would the army still be innocent, or would they be a collaborator?

Only downvoting here because you lack the insight for the issue
First off, these kids are NOBILITY. It's not like your typical high school bully where you can just get away from it. It's also not like it was just a "little" physical altercation either. Nobility have a tendency to absolutely destroy people just because they can to those who are lower in status.

Now that we are speaking on terms of status, because they are nobility, it isn't like the commoners who were getting their asses handed to them even had the chance to stand up for themselves. If a person were to even "insult" nobility (any action that could defame true or not) it's a crime punishable by FAMILY execution. How would commoners even raise their hands to defend themselves?

It's understandable that you'd believe that he'd be killing "innocent" people, but it was distributed around that he claimed a territory war. This means people who aren't leaving are supporters to his tyranny thus equally guilty. The families are only as powerful as they are because they have their own factions that back them, and the soldiers to defend/offend

Your assumptions would work great if it was a typical bully, but nobility only gains more power. If they aren't punished then their actions become worse. Extortion of commoners, assassination to silence political unrest, tax fraud, drug trafficking, human trafficking, slavery, commoner exploitation, none of these things are impossible. Other nobility only get involved when its personally beneficial to them. So if not him who punishes, who will? He already requested for a duel and was told its impossible

same way they did star wars?

Just dropped the mic

for nobility that's not a harem... 1 lover, 1 political marriage.

i actually only know from word of text on another manga... Sadly took the interaction out of the process

lol... It made me do a captcha

murphy's law.... Its coming

Damn it won't let me like lol

put their heads on Raven Margraves fence piked through... Just say your returning a treasonous pigs corpse to their family

I remember the binding forgot the 1 bind thing... I had the same question...

The first part can only amount to proficiency. It's easy to be overgeared to the point where the enemy can't damage you such as the lower levels. As you get closer to max level your gear stops becoming overpowered. Gear beyond standard has always been a trap for those who need to experience "flow". Understanding battle flow isn't just knowing the possible attacks from a position but also how to dodge, block, parry, and counterattack.

MC missed his chance to understand flow in his accelerated growth, meaning it's going to be harder for him to learn at a much faster battle flow (usually). Things to learn is: when to actually use the tank (attacks undefendable as dps), spells that will become more useful to know and use (heal/debuff/buff), and physical character conditioning. DPS may be glory but the real MVP to every battle is the buffer/debuffer, healer, and tank. Anybody can whittle down health if you can survive

almost flipped my desk with that thinking they scrapped the whole idea... well... now he knows what dying feels like

it's mitigated risk. A strategic move where you sacrifice to gain advantageous conditions.
In his case he tried the genius route which is a 50/50 without knowing external factors. He could have inherited everything with protection or be assissinated. If he stayed low key he could live being watched like a hawk and still threaten heir position for existing and been assassinated anyways.

In the case of war, he goes or gets sent to private prison for ignoring nobility. Then legal wife easily has opportunities to kill him for forcing her son in to danger.
If he goes, the most legal wife can do is send disloyal soldiers. Their only option for friendly kill would be the end of campaign to stop the heir from being sent as reinforcement. In which case he still has plenty of time to level up with his homunculus that will protect him no matter what.

If he doesn't struggle the worst that can happen is betrayal at end or his mothers death. The best is he escapes the family altogether.

usually the "legal wife" is forced on the successor and the illegitimate wife is bound by love. Unfortunately, there isn't much he can do as the family head because charging the "legal wife" is akin to starting a war with the noble family she comes from. The part I never got was why do the always jump through hoops and not just kill the legal wife and brother and not get involved as part of the same excuses

the characters are starting to become stale. I could go on and on about it but the biggest reason feels like its a lack of rise, climax, and fall.

The comedy is gold, but because it's just tossed in everywhere it impacts the seriousness of crucial important parts where there should be tension. It was good in the beginning because the story still had drive but with the same antics without progression, it halts the storyline making it no longer feasible to binge. It feels better to put it on hold until I want to laugh for a couple chapters and sit it back down

Getting kinda bored of this

He still made him spiral... So technique still sucessful?

Other than saying fantasy logic pls explain
something I've never understood is how is it possible to only hide cultivation beneath yourself... I get the not seeing how insurmountably high they are, but to hide completely is different. Trying to discern cultivation higher than you would be like trying to see the person on the ledge of a mountain from 6inches (16cm?) away. It makes sense that they can see whatever is below but not that they can just hide their aura completely. Especially because golden cores are usually able to tell golden cores hiding because they hide the same amount of energy, so shouldn't a golden core be able to discern at least a golden cores strength from an immortal hiding?

It'd make more sense if the most you can hide your energy is at the lowest level trying to perceive you while hiding ie:
Inspector mortal sees an immortal at mortal
Inspector golden core sees immortal at golden core
Inspector immortal sees everyone at current level

I dont think that function works anymore... I think we have to report for now sadly

MC might as well have just launched 7 and himself with that remark
