The survival time of eight minutes in the first simulation is hilarious but realistic. He died almost immediately after killing one jailer because more showed up. That struggle is very relatable for rogue-like game players. It's a good balance between progress and punishment.
Zhu Zhi and Lü Dì are the real villains in this situation. They knew their son didn't like Du Qingyang, but they accepted the gifts anyway. They were perfectly happy to let the original owner bring them meat and money for years. Now that she's calling them out, they try to play the loving parents card. Lü Dì practically snatches the ten yuan from her son's hand. These people have zero shame. I hope Du Qingyang drains them dry.
So far, I must say that this story is truly amusing! The protagonist's family is an incredibly colorful and dynamic bunch, which adds a delightful layer of humor and unpredictability to the narrative. There's never a dull moment when they're involved, providing plenty of laughter and heartwarming interactions that keep the story engaging. As for the male lead, while he hasn't had a significant presence in the early chapters, I really appreciate what I've seen of him so far. His character holds promise, and I’m excited to see how his role develops as the plot unfolds. Initially, I hesitated to dive into this story due to some of the lower ratings it received, but I decided to take a chance on it, and I'm genuinely glad I did. My enjoyment of the story has exceeded my expectations, and I find myself eagerly looking forward to each new chapter. The humor, combined with the quirky dynamics of the protagonist's family, makes for a delightful reading experience that leaves me smiling after every session. If you're considering giving this story a try, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the plunge! You might just find yourself pleasantly surprised, as I have.
The humour is perfectly delivered through Tadano’s deadpan thoughts. Lines like “this other world has no mercy” after the innkeeper threatens him, or “should I pick up the fallen bread? …I still have a minimum amount of pride” made me laugh out loud. It’s the kind of quiet, self-deprecating comedy that feels very human.
I have a small logical complaint: why did only Blood Spear have the glowing box? The system activating from a corpse feels convenient. And if the box appeared because the original killed him, why didn't the later kills produce boxes? Maybe each kill gives a chance? I hope the author explains the mechanism later, otherwise it's a bit of a convenience.
