Because she is doing something she deems is irredeemable but still has a need to fill that her husband doesn't seem to be filling and the MC is a naive person whom she has dirt on. there doesn't have to be a cult, just people doing things to get what they want.

What I think:
I doubt it, She never shown any interest in the other coworkers but has shown interest in the MC. He seemed to be helping her without wanting anything in return. The MC was Just a great coworker who stopped her from getting Harassed and she started to develop feelings for him, she only decided to go out with him when she saw that he had a disgusting side to him that she could exploit. If he was a kind person with nothing wrong or no skeletons in the closet the chance of him rejecting her was much higher, however, she had dirt on him.

My Theory:
I have a feeling that what happened is that The FMC and her husband used to have a normal love life but the husband probably grew tired of her and he decided to start going to hostess clubs or just never made love to her and always was drained from work and always brushed her off, she may have tried to love him but he was indifferent which eventually led Him to either cheat or start going to hostess bars however, due to her obligation and Japan's general culture of misogyny she probably was pressured into not divorcing him so she decided to seek out another companion who was more gentle and could lover her more. She just wants someone to fill in that empty feeling she has from her husband no longer being the loving guy he used to be.

Most of this is speculation and I don't know if there is a LN or WN but this is just from my personal experience and from reading other stories like this one.

this game is apparently insanely popular, If it was a hard reset every time you died I don't think it would appeal to mainstream audiences, only hardcore gamers or masochist's would like the game, even soulslikes aren't that hardcore, so I am assuming just what is earned after leaving a safe zone is lost.

I'm not sure I want to read any more of this, it isn't dark or grimy, it really feels like a reflection of my self, To the weird fetishes of not having any romance in my life, to being a loaner with no true friends, to wanting a true love relationship without doing anything to get one for my self and expecting it to just fall into my lap. I keep making excuses, I'll wait until I have a stable job, I'll wait until I have a house, I'll wait until I can support a family. I'm not to the point of stealing a woman's pads but I will admit to jorking it to questionable things on the internet and having fantasies that disgust myself, in a way I don't want to read this, but maybe I have to read this.

man this was good

I know, I was saying I want more manga adaptations of HP lovecraft's work

They are still at war technically, so until a ceasefire is agreed upon he will keep them like that, however criminals are not a part of his plan so he will defend them from illegal activities. its not that complicated.

No all high elves are as strong as him or stronger, that is why they stay isolated because they are so powerful.

you know I thought this was just another "Im in a zombie apocalypse so I get to be as edgy as possible" and it gets like that at times but never into full blown edge, and I appreciate that.

no

Most people who talk like this are projecting their own insecurities on to others, I assume that you like people of the same sex and hate that about yourself so you project hatred of those like you to seem different. Maybe you should try sucking a dick and chill.

I would assume all levels and experience earned while in the wild, you wouldn't go back to level 1 you would only lose your progress since the last safe zone you were in.

I should say, They change and implant memories that make her think shes been gangbanged by ugly bastards constantly so her mind actually breaks worse than the original story but our MC fixes that, so its going to be rough chapters ahead
