I liked the idea of chapter. Unfortunately the delivery was entirely lacking. The 'flawless' lies of Julius were never presented to the readers. Nor was the 'proof' of the truth of MC device. These are the two key points of this chapter but we don't get to see either of them. Author should have written the character's dialogue. Instead of telling us how the story we don't get to read is perfect. The cleverness of inventing a recording device would have been better the cleverness of recording with a device that proves MC innocence. The key parts of the trail don't need to be rewritten. Because they haven't been written yet.
Hi, nice story. The only part where I have a problem is the foreshadowing. Nowhere in past chapters was it mentioned or even suggested that he would try to manipulate the girl for money. I am not asking for some outright decision like ' Let's help this girl and ask Money.' but slight hints or even vague thought process of him planning. Next, the situation was highly coincidental. A bit of more foreshadowing would have worked wonders. Then was the noble and commoner dispute. Once again, except class differential in the school, no where have you mentioned the schism between nobles and commoners. I am assuming such action is common because of how people reacted, how Sophie said that he was already guilty, and how the rules worked. This chapters feels more like a last moment work after some people commented that MC was on his way to become the next Jesus. And just a suggestion. I personally think that he could have asked for more. A noble NOT getting his reputation sullied would be worth the extra pay. Ofc I am yet to see how the economics here work. So the to cost might be highly valuable. And finally, why air ticket?
