you mathed it correctly..... I'm happy to see an author that knows how that works

you keep repeating this and yet you don't say that ais took longer or how long she took as far as I can tell..... it would make more sense if you changed his record to 6 months or something, since it would actually beat ais' record then

afaik San is for strangers so.....

huh.... i probably missed that due to sleep deprivation when I was reading. good to know and it does make sense

I can't tell if you understood my issue or misunderstood it. I can see it going both ways lol. all seriousness though, I'm not a fan of OP, though it's upgraded in the interest category from disdained to tolerated since I've had some stuff explained, but it'll never go beyond that for me.

and the mc apparently beat her record when it had been more than a year for him....

yes, but he gained the xp of thousands of adventurers..... I doubt they were all level 1, and Alicia is now a level 3, right? so xp from when he has to maintain her weapon should be much higher. also not exponential, but just more. exponential would be from the beginning like this: to get 1 stat from 0 is 1 xp, to get 1 stat from 100 would take 100 xp, to get 1 stat from 500 would take 500 xp or at least something like that. that is a bit excessive for what occurs as far as I can tell, but even then 500k xp in one stat over thousands of adventurers (let's say 3k) would only need 165ish xp per adventurer. multiply that by 5 to get all 5 stats and we can round that to 800. combining that with his own excelia gain and it seems odd that it took so long, also I don't think the author actually meant to write 1 year since he later says that Noah beat ais' record which is exactly 1 year.....

can't be the mc unless it's a, somehow its by days and b, ais somehow took longer than a year..... author, did you mess up here?

and it took a year to get to this point how?
