    there are way to many novels overloaded with "misunderstandings" used as plot devices. it should be its own genre tag so i can avoid it at all costs

    The entire novel just revolved around the hilarious situations the main character found himself in due to various misunderstandings, until eventually the book ended with the main character becoming the gangster boss.

    its a useless secret at this point. his alter ego arguably attracted nore danger than it was intended to resolve anyways

    If Lin Yuan was Black, his question would reveal one of Lin Yuan's secrets.

    Annnnnnnd novel dropped. world building drew me in but the "romance" is beyond cringe

    hmm this sequel isn't grabbing me like lord of mysteries did. I'm just getting strung along hoping for little tidbits of familiar knowledge. This is a consequence of the world building being already extremely established, the sense of mystery is less engaging and just an excersize in tedium at this point

    Aurore chuckled. "You sure know how to praise me in various ways. You're inexperienced and lack knowledge, so you didn't think of it immediately. You would've discovered these details sooner or later."

    the mysterious absence of crude oil was also a dead giveaway. odd that his predecessor gave up on industrialization becuase of that, cant you refine petroleum products straight from coal?

    When I first learned Cogitation, I was required to imagine something that doesn't exist in this world so as to replace what's on my mind. That way, I can truly enter Cogitation. At that time, my first reaction was to outline an intercontinental missile from Earth, but I didn't succeed… Heh heh, I didn't think too much about it back then. Now, in hindsight, this might've already spelled certain problems… It's not something that doesn't exist in the world, but one that has been snuffed out in the fog of history… Klein rubbed his temples and naturally recalled a matter of the past.

    uhh, I think this is something like a swim bladder, helps boned fish maintain buoyancy, not a peepee

    According to his observation, the Beyonder ingredient from a murloc was its bladder. That azure aqueous light made one feel like they were looking at a gem.

    haha, he's arriving at the same logical deduction the hanged man made about him

    Going by this logic, Lilith's recent apocalyptic revelation is "Her" struggle to revive after years of preparation. And The Fool plays a key role in "Her" revelation. If that's true, then in a certain way, it's an invitation for "cooperation"… But I'm just a Sequence 6 Beyonder, so how am I to cooperate with a yet-to-disappear ancient goddess?

    its a bit odd to me that he continues to have issues with money. In a city this large, there wouldn't be a lack of tainted aristocrats to clean out. I think his subconscious compulsion to "earn" money through performances is to blame for this oversight

    After last night's transaction, his cash reserves had fallen back below 1,000 pounds, leaving him with only 735 pounds, which was only enough to buy a Deep-sea Naga's hair. After that, he didn't have the ability to purchase the Human-skinned Shadow's characteristic.

    I'm assuming their sequences are compatible or grant them a similar capability to consume the other. at least one goddess seems to have consolidated a group of authorities

    Because they can switch Sequences? Or could there be other reasons? Klein thought as he directed the conversation to what really mattered.

    I wonder about that. It contains literal gods blood, if that doesn't count as a "living property" idk what would

    I wonder where the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem is sealed behind Chanis Gate? Since it doesn't possess any living qualities, it only needs a little space…

    I wish we knew more about his relationship with Bing xues mother. it's possible he made it clear that he didn't want a child ahead of time, in which case her mother's decision to have her, because we're not in the middle ages here it WAS her choice, was her own selfish wish with nothing to do with him.

    Be that as it may, Bai Zemin felt some disappointment towards this man who led his country for many years in the past. However, after giving it more thought, he realized that there was no need to overthink it..... Xuanyuan Wentian was a man who was capable of abandoning his daughter, tossing her aside like a trash bag. There was nothing good that could come out of such scum of humanity.

    yeah no this logic is bs. power is relative, no matter how much they hop them up on beast cores, there will be powerful monsters to humble them. If there was an issue of needing time to learn to control power spikes then I could MAYBE see it. Fantasy setting or not this outlook gaining any sort of wide spread traction extremely unrealistic

    This carelessness might lead them to lower their guard, causing them to commit several mistakes because they thought that they were strong enough to handle anything the Monsters throw at them.

    this rule... is actually really hard for me reconcile with the world building so far. Even the beginner villages are getting wiped by hordes, kids are getting eaten by the dozen, and every parent just accepts this? I call bs.

    This would give them a fake sense of security seeing that their stat points would drastically increase due to the power of the Beast Cores. But, at the end of the day, even if they suddenly gained an increase in overall stats, there were still many dangers in Elysium that could end their lives if they weren't careful.

    this is getting hard to read... the flaw "cannot lie" is actually a lie in itself. It goes waaaaayyyyy beyond that simple explanation into nonsensicle uber tourrette s territory.

    huh. that seems like an obscene amount relative to earth's oceans, havnt read anything about differences in gravity so I assume the oceans constitute MUCH less of the surface area. Or else those three ships are a thousand or two miles long sheesh

    Max isn't sure where they are all going, but he hopes that alternate route involves a helicopter. Radio chatter indicates that no fewer than three of the Cygnus shops crashed into the deep oceans, boiling off over fifty meters of sea level into the atmosphere.
