No. She is comparing the genius mage of the kingdom *to* An Kai, or "Hanks" as she knows him. Basically, she is asking "can our genius even match up to this genius in front of me"

Oh and one more thing. I think the main reason for the frustration is specifically because how logical you made the MC, which I like. But having a smart MC just highlights the areas where he acts really dumb. And historically, people don't like dumb, especially when it is so eye catching and out of character.

I like the authors use of logic. It is very refreshing and makes the world feel more coherently bound by rules even though it is fantasy. I can slightly sympathize with the previous paragraphs lengthy comment because it does seem like, with as much logic that not only the author has put into the story, but the main character uses as well, that the oversight of a rational plan in the face of obvious coming of events is frustrating. I appreciate the logic of the space ring or the struggle the MC has with the border, but it would have been nice to have an internal monologue going over the chain of events beforehand. For example, before he leaves the sect, have him think of the plan in his head and the problems that will occur, like reentering the territory that is guarded by an enemy sect. And by the end of it have the MC come to the conclusion of "well, I need to get this done as fast as possible for my disciple, so there will be unavoidable risks. I'll just have to go for it". Maybe that will take away too much of the suspense, but having the MC take a few L's will make him seem more human, and hide other instances of plot armor behind "luck". So i guess what my recommendation would have been for this is potentially have him fail to acquire the ingredient and some close call event happen, or something with a more definite loss. now that may yet happen, but if i skip this comment and move on to read more, i will forget to come back to leave a comment. take this with a grain of salt. TLDR, I love the logic being applied to these tropes. keep on keeping on.

you telling me i can think of a thousand boobas at once now?

One might say he needs to kill 1000

this bipolarism and hypocrisy is giving me whiplash.

This author needs an editor. But not to correct some of his mistakes and check grammar, but to tell him to stop writing.

... I don't think this author talks to people much. Something tells me he is extremely inexperienced with every type of human contact. Someone please give him a hug.

what I have gathered so far: he is not the only sss talent that utilizes every class. but what makes his special is that he can utilize the skills of all the things he has killed in his past life? so he has the repository of skills that others do not. idk if it can or will steal the skills of those he has killed in this life. it wasn't fully fleshed out yet

If my priest started healing the enemies, I would rage quit

where's the "could not help but" counter?

this roundabout way of talking is so dumb. it almost feels like its an insult to the readers. hopefully this changes.

He should have assigned all points to INT. Lord knows he needs it.

first 40 chapters were good, but bait. everything after the free chapters is just machine translated so don't pay for that crap. also hadn't been updated in 3 months so pretty sure they dropped it. just Google it instead

it would serve him well. he would have more breathing room than he did. and he could delay any investigations even longer. with the excuse that he is just getting more comfortable with his abilities or wtv. this method would be more plausible for justifying why he didn't get checked again until he was s rank like you said. but no, the author used plot armor. meaning the author made everyone else drop any form of logic or reasoning to keep the mc safe

being suspected of a second awakening is better than being suspected of constantly growing. constant growth is more desirable and obviously more dangerous. so considering that stuff is gonna come out sooner rather than later (which it did), own up to the lesser charge and use it as an excuse for as long as possible. instead, mc relied on the plot armor instead of the logic that is already there and waiting to be used, which makes up the lazy writing. now I may not have read this in two years, but your comment is still flabbergasting. I think you have the lazy reading

look at the paragraph between this one, and the paragraph that says slightly less then 8. it says "after reaching 8"

watch how well that works out for him

This novel was dropped. Do not read it. Don't reward bad behavior. it's cliff hangared and not even that good anyways. the blind nationalism is vomit inducing. and several scenarios I guess might be humor? but it was not translated well so it was just really cringe situations

that's a flag bro. keep your mouth shut
