their parents are sworn brothers, not real siblings, so they aren't blood related.

I'm definitely not paying for the remaining chapters until these are updated. what's the point if there is a gap of information we don't know.

I'm guessing cuz only new money would be so flashy about having wealth. People who have generational wealth would probably be a little more reserved. At least, that is the stereotype.

I wouldn't consider that timid. It is smart. He isn't counting on plot armor to save him from an enemy that decisively outmatches him.

to be fair, one with the world type concepts are not unique to desolate era

I'm assuming there were other motivations, that is just the first one

I'm assuming this shouldn't be "Frank's father", but rather "Matsuo's father". Also, it wouldn't make sense for them to refer to him as "Matsuo's father", instead they should refer to him by name.

he means don't become a yelling protagonist

yeah, he is really displaying how stupid he is lol

more than now lol

you say there is a power difference, will that gap close over time, or will he just be a weaker protagonist?

should be "had increased"

I think even if

I hope there ends up being a legit reward for passing levels other than elders looking favorably on him. Cuz so far it is looking like there was no point in doing so since they all become outer disciples and he will go further by passing the other trials. I imagine I'm worrying needlessly, but just thought of that.

The summary leads me to believe the MC won't remain a support character and will become strong in his own right, is this a correct interpretation? I'd prefer not to get invested in an MC that remains weak.

lol
