It's exactly because of where he is at in life...that seeing people as objects to meet a goal would be easier than making friends. The word friend is a nicer war of the other guy saying he wants to use him for his own goals, mc could also use him for his own goals. Both would benefit. MC offended someone he could have avoided offending. Anyway in further chapters the reason why he didn't is stated.

That's a god(annunaki). Think you meant something else...Also, religions won't be destroyed just because a powerful civilization came along, that's naive. As long as a deity is written down in history someone will worship it, people still worship ancient greek gods, roman gods, egyptian gods, etc. In fact it could possibly encourage it, lot of the bible is vague meaning it can be interpreted in many different ways. Just because it doesn't directly say anything about aliens directly doesn't mean someone can't somehow interpret it that way. But yes Christianity itself would definitely take a huge hit if something like that were to happen. Would it dissolve? Doubt it.

Emotions dude. You should try them.

No and no. Connections can provide him protection while he's weak. Not to mention it'll provide him routes to gain power. Rather by not increasing the charm stats he's holding himself back(granted he can't increase them at all during this point in time). There's a reason why people with charm climb higher in society than those without it. In a power dynamic like this world it's literally the difference between life and death.

Rejecting the way he did with no backing is also suicidal. He has no backing, so that risk is much less than let's say he has some sort of backing behind but continuously offended people. He literally offended the chief of police's son and the chief of police as well by rejecting them while also rubbing in that he beat his/his son. And when you consider the police are likely able to cover up murders...he just let a golden opportunity slip by. That being said I'm glad he's showing growth, but I'm also questioning his intelligence.

My biggest problem was he caused more problems than if he were to reject in a more cordial manner...not to mention social networking is a necessity on the road to power. If story continues like this it's going to be a mystery why this brash idiot isn't dead haha

protection while he's weak* Not connection.

Apparently MC doesn't understand the need for social networking...where's his intelligence? He could have used that connection 1) Provide a certain degree of connection while he's weak. 2) The chief of police probably has connections in wealthy circles and hence could have provided him much needed items later on(highly doubt the police chief is righteous in a world ruled by power)...People cheering on the realism here clearly don't know how modern society works...nor would they understand connections would matter much more in a society ruled by power than even one ruled by monetary wealth. His decision has more costs than it does benefits, he offended people needlessly and hence will have more issues down the line. Then again guess it creates more action in the story.

I thought mc is intelligent? Lol could have used said guys connection with the chief of police, and appearing amiable would have avoided problems down the line. No need to truly see him as a friend.

It's a trope. Not just one story lol
