I think he could use bad potions to his benefit with a little ingenuity. The main one I'm thinking is using the slowness potion to improve his workout, like running through water, this could prove especially important as mundane exercise becomes useless. There's also building resistance to poison and such. Of course its up to author if there is any potential there but protag should try regardless.
Coward
What's Taskmaster supposed to do if you steal his gimmick!
Ahh... a future research partner.
*5, all of the above.
Maege definitely seems the traditional sort, but I figured taking the traditions of their enemies, the Iron Born, would be distasteful. I'll easily admit that I'm not very knowledgeable about GoT, but I think my conclusion is reasonable just through common sense.
Are Jorah and Maege on good terms again? I thought their relationship would've broken down with the thralls and all.
3rd person perspective:
Had a feeling it was her. She still has her mouth at this point?
For movies it'd be cool to see him make his own game in Saw, maybe turn the tables on Jigsaw or his copycats. Also, hope you're open to going to some videogame worlds, going to Silent Hill would be wild.
I think the author is doing it intentionally now.
You're welcome to form your own interpretation here, but if you want to convince people of it or defend the author's choices in any meaningful way then you have to provide concrete evidence from the work to support it. I keep finding in the writing evidence that runs counter to your interpretation, rather than supporting it, even here I can find the evidence that runs counter to your assertions. When the author addressed people's concerns in chapter 16 he admitted that the MC is still young and doesn't have any grand plan. For the MC to be completely blinded by the pursuit of his goals, as you surmise, having a plan to approach those goals is a matter of course. The writer should know his characters best and when even he says the MC isn't pursuing any grand plan, its hard to believe the MC has any higher ambitions that are driving him to the brink of madness.
Considering the context and what was actually written its very clear he feels guilty about what happened to the general. Its written in plain words that he feels bad and feels shame when the general's punishment is brought up. MC says explicitly that he will not dismiss his role in the matter, that he shares the blame. If you are just going to keep reading things that aren't there and jumping to unfound conclusions then its impossible for me to convince you of anything.
You should really go back and reread that scene; what is actually written is that he feels bad about it, feels shame even, but he asserts that he isn't the only one to blame. Even if you were right about him not caring about the general's imprisonment, there is a huge distance between that and genocide.
Feel like I have whiplash from all the changes that happened over this time skip. I'd like to focus though, he murdered children because it'd be a hassle later if he didn't. Was any of his prior characterization even relevant; was it ever hinted that he'd be fine committing genocide before. ...right he became an irredeemable monster suddenly via time skip.
If you want them off your plate then why not just eat them up?
