Glaive or Gladius? Not a big deal to the story overall but every time I hear you mention glaive I think of a pole-arm type weapon and way too big to be carried at a person's waist unless they are massive. I noticed this time you first called it a glaive, then a gladius, which would make more sense as kupkake mentioned earlier. A glaive usually has a pole of around 7' and a blade on the end of around 18" and fitted together usually a total length of 8'6" or so. Granted this is a fantasy world so it is possible the names changed from reality. If so though it would have been better to simply come up with a new name for the weapon type to not confuse people.
tbh I skipped the whole auction episodes to this one, the biggest flaw that this story has is the overly detailed descriptions that by themselves are not bad, but when you out them all together, to me ruim the flow and take up all the chapter, making the story progress extremely slowly, I can already tell that the four tutorials will take more than 500 chapters. .. which is a big let down this is going to be a story with more than 5000 chapters, who knows if I will be alive by then one piece already gives me anxiety not know if either me or the author will be alive to watch its ending. ..
Am I the only one who thinks it or the MC is edgy white knight **** with delusion feeding AI making him think his choices are rational and he has high intelligence. He risked himself for an ingrate girl, I can understand his lack of judgement, but he tried saving a stranger when he would have died more than likely? How is that rational... Is it not author forcing plot armour. He lost quite a lot of points of ather on those 2, and it is obvious that they slowed him down. I am not saying he should be psychopath but if you get thrusted in jungle, would you let someone else follow you who might make noise or cause extra burden when your own survival is not assured. He seems to be lacking basic instinct like lust and holds moral high... and would not do shady, in real world these people are first in the line to die How come he has high combat skill? Get dirty... I have not seen using strategy or brain in combat rather instinct. Even last chapter, he saved them cause plot suggested him to..... Don't turn it to another glass heart MC. Make him more rational and human. I have not seen him showing any desires for lust, greed... Just mindless easy to manipulate guy. Also, your writing is great but I feel that some chapters and mini archery gets a bit too dragged. Also, if there was no urgency to time limit to going to cube then why rush instead of getting stronger by hunting monsters to get better reward at tutorial!
1) Better authority rank = higher or special role in tutorial ( I think you mentioned something like that in last chapter)= better initial starting point 2) ah he gave a dozen crystal to will and other guy... and do note that he doesn't know if he will stick with him in future. He could have used shadow guide for negotiation himself.... Tho will has proved himself reliable and earned it himself but I am saying that he is not just losing small amount here. 3) If he is not white knight then why did he risk his life to save that girl who left his team later? It is fine to help but thing is would you set yourself or fire to give warmth to others? 4) Why does he keep judging everyone? What If Kyle had backed out on suicide mission with him .is it wrong to take optimal action? 5) He has done nothing to show he is rational or even cold hearted. Compassion is an emotion for strong. Showing hostility to attacker when he could have layed low and taken him out in silence is intelligence. Showing hostility is called lack of control... Oh wait you just had put one full chapter on how he did not get turned on for sex.... So I guess that is control to show his white knight badge? No offense but MC contradicts his traits and personality narrated vs actual action
