I really fail to understand why the author keeps having Ves act as if this is like some horrible thing to add to a mech. even though his weird insistence about them being machines and the cod piece being irrelevant goes directly against his design philosophy.

Legendary moonlight sculptor reference?

I think this is meant to be the inner monologue but the author didn’t do a great job differentiating between thought and normal dialogue so it gets a bit confusing.

You say that but lots of people who lose family members in drowning situations or anything like that begin to hate swimming or things along those lines.

You could stick with the pumpkin theme and name him daredevil after the headless horseman’s horse.

I’m guessing this matt kid is a member of the leopards that we will meet soon

Could he not trade the gold privately with someone like PinkLotus while waiting for the auction house to open?

I’m assuming some sort of contract or blackmail keeping him stuck working for them

This is just the rankings for his city not the whole game

Now imagine if he just negotiated for this from the beginning instead of needlessly making enemies and acting like a complete weirdo.

I don’t know it really turned me off from the story to be honest. Everything was finally working out for the MC and he was maybe going to be able to stand up against those loan sharks soon with his connections with this company. Instead he went insane, is making enemies with the heiress of the company, And started giving off major incel vibes.

I thought he didn’t want to make an enemy of this girl? I don’t know how he thinks comitting sexual assault is gonna make them good friends. It would be more likely she kills him before he leaves the building for that.

Kind of just seems like a weird way to shoehorn in a love interest and this bit about him being super powerful in his past life.

This really took one of the weirdest turns ever. It doesn’t really make any sense that he expects her to have this big of a grudge over a small misunderstanding. Especially since she knows his skill in card creation and her whole company would gain from being friendly with him.

I like that Kai is coming to the realization that she can trust her team and that she has nothing to prove. It sucks that it has to come after a crushing defeat like that but at least she's growing from it and not completely giving up.

come on dude you can at least have different customers than in astral pet store. Right now it feels like you're copy and pasting and changing the names a bit

yeah it's an exact rip off of Astral pet store so far even the system personalities are similar. The only big difference is in that one he gets trapped by a skeleton king not an angel

since the author went through and liked all the Harry Potter references I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Sirius Black since the man literally turns into a black dog

if only he had a lantern that shows him every issue with his mech... oh wait he does
