Perhaps. But given how our MC conducts with other people, I believe that merit and skill was included for him to give such respect and courtsmanship.

Kong Ming was not yet identified as an enemy. There could be translation mistakes, but given how Nie Li accepted his cultivation, its obvious that Emperor Kong Ming and the Sage Emperor are two different entities. The reason why people think so it due to how his cultvation works - each of its successors are allowed to grow in their own ways, but when time comes to pass, only the strongest will take over all, even their lives.

The MC treating than queen better than the girl is completely based on merit and skill, how you serve him does not even hold account in his heart.

The tribe shamans said that the knights persecuted them and skinned them alive, but there's no evidence of that.
They willingly give their boons without saying much except for asking for their help, is it really that simple?
With boons like that, shouldn't the shamans have no problem dealing with those knights in the first place?
Also, only the hunters said that Geovrick is the field boss, but wasn't that based on how they were treated and not by evaluation or investigation?

Tell me your confusion, maybe I can answer it as a reader of this manga.

Remember that the MC gave ten years to complete this game, and it was a kusoge to begin with. So if you're not insane enough to dedicate part of your lifetime into it, this is not the game you will last on your own - Remember that EVERY OTHER PLAYER out there are either under some guild that can only do things when everyone is present (no knowledge of the tower, can only do things step by step) or by the tower's residents (literal game over in the long run), and the only team that's making progress through the tower is no other than the MC's own company / guild.

Yes, shan't we forget that the MC knows very well of this skill's loophole, and this dude didn't even know he gave exactly that window for him to use it. Given that we knew this, the MC gave a surfacely-simple but extremely misleading, smart answer - he didn't say he can or cannot, neither did he say he will or will not, he straightout just say NO (a definitive cannot if one is smart enough to read the lines, but said nothing about why he can't).

Indeed.

Indeed, MC gave a particularly specific question, so only the correct number is accepted; But that demon dude asked a "can or cannot" question, so obviously our MC CANNOT tell him because it will f*ck himself up and its the truth. Its not about sideways talking, but more like giving a question where only certain answers are allowed - a yes or no (heartfelt truth) than a can or cannot (optional given the situation).

Indeed. Its more like a question of "can you tell me something" rather than "tell me something", its a stupid question indeed when it became a "can or cannot" question instead of a linear, direct demand of an answer, even a yes or no is far better than that.

Our MC asked for only numbers, so only the correct number is acceptable.

Much more, the people from the Murim and the Empire aren't Earth's humans to begin with, they are the TOWER'S RESIDENTS. Loopholes are there due to this aspect, but plot armor, I didn't see much just yet.

Sir Spinne ain't wrong though. Its just that the big data is an accumulation of ALL reviews, the good and the bad. It just so happened that the CULTURED reviews had a majority vote.

Like I quoted, correct doesn't mean right. You don't have to acknowledge my comment, just read it will suffice. Its not even a debate between right and wrong. Its just a matter of perspective I was sharing.

But you have to admit, he is also right on one accord as well. Peace is also achieved when there are no more humans on earth as well. No humans, no conflict, no war.

Its simply another "just because you are correct, doesn't mean you're right" case, as Shiro Emiya quoted.

Good question indeed. But unfortunately not many has the answer, even so, each one's answer may vary.

I do seriously question stories that satisfy characters rather than the readers - Mainly, mostly and specifically, ISEKAI genred CRINGE stories, those are the type of stories that unfairly revolves around main characters and had them buffed nonsensically with godlike powers aka plot armor.

True. When all the scenarios have ended, Kim Dokja would have fulfilled his purpose and will no longer be needed. If its this case, then "death" means his existence has died down, killed by "the one he loved most" would be the Ways of Survival story itself, and will be literally forgotten by everyone over time.

The end of all scenarios will also mean the end of his existence - he is not the protagonist of the story, but an anomaly, a bug, a reader that's not supposed to live in it. He's not meant to be at THE END of this story, nor was he meant to interfere with its course to begin with.

That's why he's a demon in the first place. They were never the good guys, never the fair ones.

Hence, I HOPED. I do not wish for that f*ckery to happen. I want to see an end to this for a good cause.

Well, as much as I didn't like Yona's party, those bodyguards made no sense. They are bodyguards, supposed to protect their king, but not only is their king injured, they run around speculating and conduct their own recognition... That's pure racism and unprofessionalism to their duty.

Yup. After what Jirou did, I only hope Akari don't bck out. If she did, Jirou's effort to break the Shiori curse will be gone like the wind, and will be traumatized for the worst case scenario.
