Review Detail of Torpedo_Shogun in I Cultivate Passively

"*MINOR SPOILERS* I want to say that this is a nice story, and has cool elements, and It has. Fun mechanic, simple to understand. It is so unfortunate that the MC is a walking contradiction. He literally does the opposite of what he said he was going to do. Says he wants to blend in be "safe" and wait to gain his passives from his system. In the next scene when threatened to give up half of the pills he decides to "stand up" against bullies.... Sure he was spouting some crap about not being easy to bully or they will pick on you, blah blah blah... But if you stop and think for a second (which he did, mind you), you realise how mentally handicapped and childish that sounds. What kind of assurance does he have that he won't just get absolutely manhandled and crippled as a result? Conveniently he has a skill that heals him and another that improves his defense. He has never tested the extent of them, nor has he seen its' effectiveness. But sure, go ahead and pilot test them on the most brutal way possible! The enemy is leagues more powerful than you. What do you think will happen if the author doesn't write the MC to safety? And after that, does he think of the potential consequences? The whole point in the crippling was for you to die. This is an evil sect and you have a literal ticking time bomb in your belly. What happens if you are crippled? What do you think will happen if you seem absolutely fine after the crippling? It's like being the only one to resist when the Mafia comes to collect their taxes. There goes the idea of being low-key. Literally everyone else is being beaten to the ground. Resisting doesn't make you look brave, it makes you look childish and stubborn. And all for 5 stupid blood pills. Was that worth it? There are tons of other ways to make the MC look brave or unyielding. This is not one of them. Author has shown before that the MC is not rash or impulsive in previous circumstances. So why do this now? Another aspect of how dumb his decision was is also due to his Gluttony passive. Hello..... You have a skill that literally digests any supplement super quickly. This means that you can take a resource that normally requires a long time to digest in bulk, like food. In essence, this means you can use lower quality resources, at a much higher quantity, and absorb them effectively. Unlike everyone else, you almost no danger of dying to the bloodthirsty gu. So there is no pressure to survive unlike others. In fact, you reasonably would trade the blood pills for a larger quantity of lower resources, like meat, that results in a net gain of total energy absorbed. This means that there is even less reason for fighting so hard for the 5 blood pills. He could even voluntarily announce that he would trade his pills for the highest bidder of meat quantity the moment he leaves the merit hall. Then he wouldn't need to get beaten at all, since the person that gains the pills will fight it out with other seniors to get the pills by either beating everyone else up or trading the largest quantity of meat. In either case there is no loss to you. Lastly it feels like he has totally forgotten his system works on the function of time. The longer he stays alive, the more passives he gains. So why engage? After being low key for couple months, you will have sufficient preparations and information on the seniors. At that point he can easily resist the seniors and maybe even extort them instead. In the grand scheme of things 5 pills is nothing.
