Not just strength, but INFORMATION. Note that MC is the most informed player in the entire game.

I LMAOed so hard on the last panel. XD

Not to mention those two are PLAYERS of this game too, so they knew enough shit to beat the game to some degree.

Strongest, perhaps, but definitely not the smartest. Remember that Kang Jinhyuk's team consists of at least 4 actual players of the game before it became reality, including himself who spent over a decade into studying its lores, not to mention beating the game with VERY LIMITED RESOURCES.

This emcee is way more of a simp than most of the emcees I've seen so far. Tons of bullshittery but no reprecussions, let's see how long this one gets to simp and smirk until he's finished by Master Gu.

View this on a story-reading perspective and you'll know why. Villains are always finished off by the heroes, not the sidekicks.

I didn't read the novel, but this was expected. Kim Dokja was never the main character of the story in this world after all, and it always has to be the protagonist to finish off the villain. Common trope.

At least he's smart and not acting like a cultist.

Well, those are people corrupted by greed, so we're not going to expect Gods have mercy on them.

Especially those who acted on emotions than reason, that's a solid no-go.

This chapter just proved his balls ain't that hard.

Both of you have a point. First off, it was Ruri that is suppoed to be working her way back to him, not him working his way into that hellhole with them, this is where the slap was uncalled for - she did not earn his favor at all yet she had the gall to slap him.

Alternatively, the fact he'd date anyone who showed him such a face is a shallow reason to get together with someone, which calls for the slap - wasn't he no different than a gigolo like this?

From where I see it (usually with my 3rd person POV), the alternate part is very argumentative. She is the one who uses that method to get back with him, and he's the one supposed to react, not her. She's basically just guilt-tripping him while he did nothing wrong.

You cannot understand POV yet you're smart enough to say what Park Sihoo did was neccessary evil (emphasis on neccessary). I cannot understand where you draw the line.

You're not listening. Why depend on people who act on emotions (especially when you have to do all the hassle of upping their friendship level) rather than logic?

Your first line already debunked most of what you yourself said. Why do the hassle of protect those just to up their friendship level? Ripping NPCs off their goods is far better in you think about it in gaming terms.

You made one mistake, the plan still needed them, one way or another - Park Sihoo just chose the "easier to use" option. The rest of your comment was right, but it was mainly due to two things: Park Sihoo's apathy AND the MC's manipulation. It wouldn't have happened if any one of those is missing.

First off, Park Sihoo's idea of having only males in the party is logical. It only takes one typical feminist video on Youtube to understand that. If the MC isn't nosy, then explain the first half of this chapter.

For the later part of this comment, my previous comment explained it. Overall, I just don't like how the MC make Park Sihoo does his bidding even if its for saving the world. He deserved this ending at the very least if you actually put on Park Sihoo's shoes and see things from his perspective. If you can't, I have an example - Do you like to have someone who screams of predictions and spoilers of the new game you just bought?

Its BOTH. He literally said something on the lines of "who the fuck would do all those annoying shit like upping friendship level just to have them join you" bullshit.

First off, the MC isn't the main character of the game, its someone else. Yet he want to dictate his every action along the way and expects him to obey without question. Tell me how is that respectful.

This "challenge" sounds interesting, given that the target is not fond of people, I wonder which one will win? Or maybe its the fisherman that will win in the fight between the clam and the stork (Chinese phrasing).
