I think it would have been better if the mc first started killing some monsters, gaining stats and potentially unlocking new runes. His mana is pitiful, so what control and what research does he want to do. Man, his priorities are so skewed.
Deobot:I really think he should have stayed in the forest longer, it was a challenge for the mc and a chance for growth both strength wise and emotionally. bur he struggled one day and was promptly thrown back into his old life. I did enjoy the fact that he reflected on it but it doesn't work if he was there one night.
I think I'm stopping here. All the skipped, plot pivotal conversations (Jizo, Si, anything with the exam) make the story hard to follow. I checked a few times to see if I missed a chapter somehow. It has potential, but with these happening so early, I lack the investment to gloss over the missed opportunities to make us excited for anything coming after
not liking this chapter. i doubt like that he is just led around and trusts random people, but then not the government. why is a stranger better? i also don't like that we have emotional outbursts about an apparently missing dad. why should we care if it's not even important enough for you to explain?
i see some of the comments talking about several issues, i would like to add something. MC is already special, then suddenly from somewhere, a Master Yoda type came out. As if isn't MC already special, become more special, i bet later on MC would come across several advantages too. Its so cliche, let mc grow. Picked up from arcana because he is special (!). How come? Because Si guy has special eyes. Special that, special this.
