In a lot of folklore, they are.

But rather than evil, is more like, their sense of morality is skewed.

I'm honestly a bit unsure if to read the WN/LN of this story.

While I do like the idea and characters, the pacing always felt off to me.

But, maybe is because I have the feeling that Tensura did it masterfully (the LN) and can't help but compare.

Maybe they do.
I can get the idea...

But I still prefer a more active protagonist. Not a player, mind you, but this is likt the hunfrddth episode haha

That's an interesting explanation.

I think that's pretty much it.

A summon, in concept, would be bringing a creature.
But this magic is creating the concept of the creature, the same waybit can ceeate thd conceot if fire or lighting.

Sponsors woulx love the MC if they knew his social circle, but these two are beyond petty.

I was JUST complaining how he is being dumb trying to not change the plot or thinking he has to act a certain way because it's a game.

Glad it changed, but it is kinda hilarious it took the one chapter lol

You'll enjoy it more then!

And I don't wanna

The ear flaps always bring me such joy.

I don't even want to think about what made her like that.

I'm impressed that, despite being an old story, it still hits just as hard.

I do love characters with a distinctive skill paired with just as distinctive a flaw, lmao.

It's simply how humanity works.

We strive both to survive, as well as to belong.
We look for friends to feel secure, and for contacts to improve our station.

The less you have, the more desperate you feel, the easier is to fill the void of safety and bonds with belief.
And people who are smart can turn this weakness into a collar.
Thus, cults are born.

Don't get tricked !!!!

It's a shame that seemingly there was no interest from a TL team. Machine translations are appreciated but hard to read.

I do like the idea of an MC who wants to understand their enemies to get talked down by an enemy that sees through the innocence behind such mentality. It is a trope at this point, but I do like it.

Poor guy still sees himself as an outsider.

He's probably going to ask the alchemist to make her trick inside the dragon.

That would surely mess up the dragon.

This was so very well handed and yet... still hurts.
