yeah, this one's closer to the truth

?

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a personification. More like the intention here is that a talent can have a will because what it does it trickier to define compared to a skill which has a proper description, effects, etc. You have never read a description about a Talent because there is none. That has its own advantages and disadvantages.

you could say that.

because [Sword] was the one that helped him breakthrough his combat prowess temporarily, but that was not a permanent measure, so...

it's never too late.

something like that

heheheh

Asterisk War absolute W.

the more a skill is 'levelled up' or simply gets stronger, the more they can execute that 'will' and thus show us more 'reactions'

it's actually a mix of everything. A Skill is born with a certain purpose. Other than satisfying that, it does not "care" about anything else. To achieve that purpose, some skills may have to necessarily show what a human would call a 'will' but it's actually just a misunderstanding. The skill simply seeks the most optimal path to achieve its purpose, and nothing more.

waku waku

well, it is certainly interesting, because as long as we don't put an objective pov to the situation, it actually seems like time moves slower when you're about to die. Maybe your body won't be able to normally react to that, but it's still a thing

yep

yes! One of my absolute favourites(mostly because of the waifu, I do admit that)

that's true in its own way.

Honestly, this is such a common scenario that you could have flashbacks of pretty much any manwha focused on games or something similar

I'll now proceed to read all your comments. Let's see if I'm cooked or if I cooked.

d*mn

that's fine in its own way
