Yeah, if this (as in, all of this) happened to an IRL guy, it'd take someone with a Spiderman-like soul to (who is, himself, not a real person) not just... give up.

The amount of collective tears shed would probably be able to raise the sea level by another meter or two

This part is always entertaining, no matter what medium its shown in

Yay Mo Fan has arrived on the scene!

She (according to other comments, he?) is so pretty! (and cute)

I wanna give headpats

How about sponsoring like 90% of all european scientific research in the middle ages + the preservation of most of the knowledge from antiquity? Excerpt from a discussion of a reddit discussion on worldbuilding, and why most japanese & korean depictions of medieval Europe in fantasy is extremely inaccurate (credits to u/AnxiousPanda15):

> The reason the Dark Ages don't exist, in fact, is because the Catholic Church didn't let it happen. They kept all the records from the Roman Empire and pretty much got to work translating them and copying them from their crumbling scrolls, preserving centuries of knowledge. Clergymen were among the most highly educated people on the planet and up until relatively recently (think approx. 100-150 years), almost every major scientist in the world was religious. The Renaissance, for instance, happened because that idiot Petrarch found a bunch of Roman and Greek texts and lamented the passing of the Roman Empire -- where? In a monastery. Who preserved the texts of Galen and Hippocrates that formed the basis of Medieval medicine? The Church. Who subsidized and promoted every major scientific discovery up to and through some of the Renaissance? The Church.

Many of the people belonging to the Church might have had impure intentions, and as a result did a lot of evil things in the name of religion/the church. Even so, looking at it purely from a historical perspective, it did a massive amount in contributing to why Europe became as advanced as it did.

I think Pandaa is referring to loading speed rather than upload rate

lmao.

Can't wait to see how Uncle reacts to being told to stop talking about Sega

On one hand, yes this was absolutely jumping the gun (or well, the sword?) on her part, but tbf, she doesn't know the extent of MC's plot armor level abilities the way we do. The trolly problem was even explicitly mentioned here, and she doesn't know if things could suddenly get worse, so she tried to minimize casualties as much ass possible. it was a reasonable choice with the limited information she had.

I swear it feels like they're gonna end up catching all of the merfolk and turning them into residents of his farm

Oh man I remember this part in the novel, this is abouta be fun

iirc, the real person from whom the robin hood mythos evolved from was the son of a noble, who fled society after drunkenly killing someone important. He stole from the rich because they were the fat, juicy targets, not from any nobleness in his heart. The poor had a love-hate relationship with him since on one hand he was making the wealthy hurt, but also he wasn't above screwing over the poor.

Honestly, my bet is the kids are about to pelt her with snowballs

I am incredibly curious what the context of the original image is

... did this entirely skip the headache Ye Xiu had trying to find people he could duel in order to get to Heavenly Domain, or am i misremembering the novel details?

oooh boy. This series makes me laugh far more than it should

meanwhile from a social perspective, it is the problem

or maybe the lack of it is the problem?

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

LMAO that scene from My Unexpected Marriage/When the Count's Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married has me rolling every time I see it.

agreed. It'd get the dad permanently out of the picture too

That seems like the most likely reason, but knowing the direction anime and manga have been going these years with nuanced takes on the demon-human issue (specifically that humans are often just as shitty as the demons), I wouldn't be too surprised if the empire was run by an asshole/regular evil human
