Why would nature energy care about good or evil tho, shouldn't it be neutral?
Enoki ftw
I know this is way too late to say as the story is over 200 chapters already, but it would have been really good training if he conjured a weapon like Prince of Persia's daggertail. Now that would be a real challenge to create and maintain. It's a very complex weapon, and would also require great dexterity and agility to effectively use. If you could make full use of it tho, it would be better than a spear. It could even easily be made to interlock and turn into a spear when needed etc., as it would be made of ice and a small change like that would be very easy to do during battle. Chain configuration to spear, just pull back all the interlocking pieces and freeze, voila.
He wouldn't 'accelerate' faster, but he would 'fall faster'. By fall faster, i mean he would reach a higher terminal velocity, thus he would reach the ground faster, unless there isn't enough distance for him to fall to reach his terminal velocity. Heavy armor would add negligible surface area increase, thus there wouldn't be much of a drag increase, but it would add significant weight, which would allow the adventurer to fall faster in the end.
Man, brings back memories, that game sure was epic.
No, actually his fighting style suits heavy armor quite a bit. How many times the heavy armor saved his life? And now that he got a skill that will give him more stats the more injured he is, it would be best to wear armor so that even if he gets hit and injured, it's harder to leave instantly fatal injuries on him. That way he can get injured all he wants, his muscles can be ripped, his organs can turn into mush, his bones can be crushed, but he won't just get his skull penetrated or his body cut in two etc. You get the gist, he needs to be injured, but not with injuries that would be debilitating or instantly fatal. Wearing armor would mean that he would be harder to cut, but he can still take on all the force behind the hits to get injured without being totall debilitated. Ofc, he would need some better armor for that, armor that wouldn't break so easily...
I guess he would need plasmids that can temporarily program a small part of his brain, or grow purpose built auxiliary small brains like how octopuses have one on each arm etc., to easily do such 'complex' but patterned tasks. Knitting is actually quite simple in terms of patterns if you think about it, if his brain worked like a computer the task of fixing the threads of the cloth would be extremely easy. Or if he can have more mental capacity, i guess that could eventually compensate to do such tasks fast, but it would still be tedious to do the weave, and it wouldn't be instantaneous. So yea, small programmed auxiliary brains would be the best for such tasks.
See, Argir has to aim for the gaps, so why hasn't mc used his armor to take some strikes? Why does he keep jumping back and dodging? Obviously Argir isn't strong enough to do damage if he takes the strikes on the armor, sword will just slide off...
Why, isn't he wearing armor? Just take the sword strike to the shin where he is wearing armor, and voila. Just press on, why jump back? This is getting stupid tbh, why is he avoiding getting hit so much? A fast but weak opponent like Argir can be counteracted with armor easily. Sword strike will just slide off the armor...
Lots of people could have been better off with better upbringing, is he gonna save everyone in the world then? Smh, this is such a stupid way to think...
Smh, Wulfur ain't a person, he is more of a story tool created to exactly fit the role required from him. Which is to be the conveniently talented perfect blacksmith companion of mc, so that mc doesn't have to learn blacksmithing himself. Childhood friend, strong like a bear to fill the tank role, very talented in blacksmithing, talented in fire magic... yeaaaa he ain't a person, the odds of such a perfect fit of a person existing is astronomically low, let alone as the childhood friend of mc. He is more like the perfect tool molded to be the required companion of mc...
So many authors do this kinda introspection badly. Look, people don't think of such stuff in a moment of life and death with an attacker. It all comes later, when the threat is dealth with, when the adrenaline dies down, when they are safe, which should be obvious. You don't have the leisure to process the implications of killing someone as you are still in the process of defending yourself from a deadly threat, unless you are used to such stuff to begin with...
Smh, i guess this is how the blacksmithing needs will be met. Just have a surprisingly suitable and talented childhood friend character grow into some great blacksmith that can forge anything for mc, voila! How nice, what a convenient coincidence to have such a conveniently talented childhood friend ey? Smh...
Not gonna lie, no effort systems like these that give arbitrary rewards generally turn out to be the downfall of novels. I doubt there is even going to be a structure to the value of complaints. Like, one moment he could complain and get some mundane martial arts, and the next complaint he can get some godly talent etc., completely up to authors whim of the moment basically...
So basically, you can't come up with a logical counterpoint argument, and just resort to the cliche and useless 'wRiTe a bEttER sTOry' line that ignorant kids love to throw around...
This is why mc's palm powers are boring, he has no long range attack other than throwing mental needles or whatever. Close range fighters disadvantage grows bigger as the ranks increase, it's an archaic and boring way of fighting in magical worlds...
Ye, i couldn't really like the premise, nor the end goal of reviving the parents or whatever. Oh well, it's nice that the premise and the end goal is set up clearly from start instead of shrouded in mystery so that i can decide if i want to continue or not.
That's what would happen if this was realistic, Hydra would take such precautions. There would be a constant pinging signal in the base so that even if the prisoners manage to escape, when they run a certain distance from the base, the signal ping wouldn't be able to reach them and after some determined time they would automatically explode. There would be no chance of running. And just the same, if an attack happens and EMP fries the base remote access, the signal would stop, and the kid would explode together with the other prisoners. That would be a realistic precaution to take. But nope, author will just dumb down the Hydra so they take no precautions and have no plan in the case of an EMP attack. They are literally like headless chickens running around for 8 hours trying to figure out whatever is going on as mc leisurely performs open heart surgery to remove the bomb. They don't call for him, they don't look for him, nothing. They just let him perform 8 hours of surgery cooped up in his room as an emergency is going on in the base. Smh...
So he can't even bring himself to share a bed with a 5yo? Why does he force himself to sleep on the floor? Unless he has some hidden pedo urges or something and want to stop himself, i really can't see any reason? He also seems to have stupidly gotten attached to her, so why can't he even bring himself to share a bed if that's the case? o_O
Not really, if he proves impossible to crack, they would just dispose of him. Or make use of him in another way that involves him not being alive for long. They are not gonna keep him forever, they already wasted 6 months on him somehow...
