Not trying to pick on you. You need to put yourself in the situation before dumb opinions form. This is like saying it's never acceptable to kill someone... Even if it's you who is about to be killed with no chance of living otherwise

imagine a situation where you have to break in to someone's house in the slums. Very few people will investigate the cause of murder after a night of massacre. There are around 100 people looking to kill you as a frail woman who uses your body to live. The only one who can protect you is dead weight without a real weapon. 1 yell from this man can cause those people to come searching to kill you. Now, what would you do? Kill and steal, walk back out to your death, maybe seduce him, he was already hostile for breaking in, so buy it on credit?

world and character building are finished closer to chpt 30 where everything actually starts. The cast has come together, you understand the world dynamics, the plot has been revealed to an extent, the character has made a little progression, MC's personality shows, writers style can be seen

things to be informed about when picking up someone to bring through your secret door. Name, age, physical description, personality, codeword

In slums there is usually gangs. Leaders typically have a keen sense when they are being targeted. So the madam, being targeted scrounges money together to pay someone to fight or to pay someone off.
The MC who is smart at fighting, got hit by black lightening, receiving a talent to do with sticks (wooden swords are also made of branches). MC now is caught. In a crossroads between two leaders

some guys become girls 😂🤣😂🤣

for him to create the elixir he'd have to have knowledge about it which might be why he wanted to go to auction

Personally surprised an arrow meant to be a trap (designed to go through skin, muscle, bone, leather armor) didn't just kill her. It's only an eye which, at best, is slightly weaker than skin with the brain right behind it

everything has a "use" for 2 eyes very few demands 2 eyes. Although in fighting, being blind in 1 eye can be disadvantageous, its not like you can't change posture slightly to cover the front. Or add an ally to cover for blind side. Everyone has a constant 180° blind anyways what's an extra 15-20°. Once combat senses are hone depth just becomes a feeling rather than perception. Like when you park your car in front of a curb. You can't see it but know where it is

When he was discussing who to give the 3 to, originally orc said he already had the perfect body even though it was incapable of supporting his crest which was for controlling water
The orc finally committed to being like his predecessor, took it, dove into the water, (chpt 20.1 11-13/15) used his new body (scaly upper body) to manipulate the waves to move faster to the rock golem resembling leviathan and created the vortex.
At the end of the demonstration the MC made a comment about orc's old body being "perfect" to which he replied enthusiastically this splendidly handsome shining body has awakened into a new perfect form of beauty (chpt 20.2 - 13/19) while flexing

for real... Loli #3 breaking way

starting to question if that mermaid in an M

the way he fights dirty I'm surprised i haven't seen any eye pokes

Yakuza not knowing how to gamble is like poor kids eating luxury foods

poor nui... Still can't be remembered... And there's only 2 names that are close to her lol

Most likely doll has the chance to study a living thing and thus needs it to perfect the chimeras in the liquid

4 stones total found 1 to princess, 1 to miner goblin, 1 to sorcerer goblin, 1 to orc. No more stones found.

SK's body didn't have the capacity to hold mana so SK seal wouldn't have magic to use to transform body for mana to flow better. The first time they found a stone it was used on the princess to return her lifespan. How could a subject let their royalty die? The second opportunity was attempted to be given up due to allegiance and respect for saving them. How could he feel greed until MC said there was no better person to receive it.

This is at least what I've noticed as a difference, which would explain why the king didn't know much
realistically it was an oracle that was given to the king. Being an oracle, it'd be said, "prince with the X shaped design shall be sent to X in X location and will encounter great prosperity."
If it was a prophesy it would have more of a tale of what's to come ie: "When MC becomes 15 he will go to X using his cave king crest that looks like X and will uncover the X kingdom. There he will go through trials and" yada yada yada

calling it assassin type guard

Feel like this loli is a homunculus

Facts: Between princes, factions are normally formed in the process to ascend the throne. Countries such as the MC prioritize the right to rule by competency and might. Peaceful countries often ascend by lineage as right. Thus, the king had no right to interfere in his sons' squabble. The king received an oracle that MC must go to specific isle in ocean. Oracles are often a nudge to guide a person's future, so they lack information unlike prophecies. The king has ruled with wisdom by using resources efficiently whether by means of mercenaries and other tactics.

Seeing the comments here, wanted to put my theory to the novel
...
The king likely used other territories factions causing wars between countries as a scapegoat and used military might to suppress weakened countries to expand its power and influence. The king likely had little time to deal with factions between sons while managing the campaign causing MC to go through suppression in the fight for the crown. Be it for his own good or not the king received an oracle for MC to be sent to the isle. The king most likely believed in the oracle and pushed to expulsion as a possible kindness to get his son away from the suppression as well as a benefit to increase the kingdoms prosperity as a king wouldn't do something that would leave the kingdom at a loss. The oracle doesn't mention the possibility of MC slaughtering royal family but most likely gives an image of the kingdom good health.

wished they'd do color on important characters and changes to said characters, even if just 1 panel. It's not like B&W pictures conveys complete description
