Everything depends on the character of either their HR person or the upper management. And most lower level employees will end up rolling the dice on this variable when they go. If you happen to be in a firm with people who are all trying to do the right thing, but having human failures your answer won't have any bad consequences. If you happen to be in a firm with people who are actively scheming to make money by violating laws and having gang connections, you're going to get into big trouble if you put anything in writing.

Hah. You say simple, then describe the difficult reality. Critical Difficulty +3 to not get extra-fired after going to the media and embarrassing them into doing the right thing. Just ask all those Boeing Engineer whistleblowers that are now dead.

You may be right in most cases. But the big house I experienced was horribly old and not so convenient. It did not have bathrooms attached to the suites or close enough to the kitchen area to allow easy bathroom breaks for the people working there. No plumbing at all went above the first floor. All polished hardwood antique glitter, no efficiency. I would never design a house like that. And it wouldn't technically be legal either as none of the doors in the 'servant' area met handicapped access building codes. They were far too narrow.

If we had around 7 hundred million this would be 10%. Add another zero. Since we have around 7 billion this would be near 1%.

Often the one ' means he's thinking this, not saying it.

Not if you don't use the stairs and just jump down the well...

She seems like the Crazy Empress or some Royal close to her, so she probably has a lifetime of experience 'negotiating from a position of power'. Our MC doesn't, so she rightly negotiates more like a caveman with the biggest stick in the room. I think it fits.

I was thinking Star Gate's Goa'uld.

My theory: Multiple personality disorder due to awakening two sets of past life memories. It just took this long for your memories to stabilize enough for you to reintegrate into one new, but different and slightly confused person.

Just avoid the big cities and you can still find gentlemen.

Feels like some material refinement steps were skipped...

Just an update on the size of the observable universe to my 3 yr old post. The newly refined data from the newest space-based telescopes have shifted the horizon up to 46 billion light years. The farthest things we see with the light from 13.8 billion years ago are now 46 billion light years away.

He has his phone. Can he read the rest of the novel for hints? Will the novel change as he and other player/transmigrators change the story? Could get interesting if all the players get 4th dimensional hints.

Is that not a nice consolation prize for not wanting to play the game? What if dying is what it takes to send you back to yourself? Dying and getting the reward in your real body back home looks like a nice perk to me.

Looks like the high risk/high reward type system that you need to start with the lowest option on to survive until you get enough power to start working your way up the mission difficulty spikes.

Yep. Not everyone enjoys walking for five minutes to get to a bathroom when you realize to gotta go.

That would reveal who did it to the guards. That method is off limits for many years and can only be deployed against non-clan members in the future. Otherwise he might have an unpleasant chat with mom.

fasten = attach edit to either hasten or speed up.

Is this a logarithmic or geometric scale with each level representing multiple times greater strength?

With his kind of system, it is always better to give his sister the +1 items so he can derive +10 from her growth.
