    Of course you're stupid. I have never once heard of those who possessed eidetic memory being prone to 'overloading', in the same sense it's described in this novel. The entire premise is ridiculous, hence my response. Wendell was correct in faulting the idea, because it's utter nonsense.

    He knew that he kept consuming knowledge in huge amounts, which in turn left a huge burden on his brain, so although he had been strengthening himself, he was also loading more burdens on himself as well.

    Not to mention, when both girls finally die, he suddenly becomes all crazed. This is just transparently idiotic.

    The protagonist continually acts in contradiction to his belief. He espouses a lack of trust towards all, yet will often place temporary trust in those around him regardless. For example Jane and Diana, they are almost entirely useless, he decided to show all his cards, and then questions whether or not to kill them... is he retarded? Why even insist on moving with them at all? His guards were sufficient, they amounted to very little, not to mention their undue ownership of loot. He continues to be completely idiotic in how he manages his secrets, he doesn't want people to know, tells everyone, feels betrayed, and then wants to kill them. For someone who is supposedly supremely intelligent, he is a complete fool, I don't even understand what foreseeable boons he seeks to obtain in doing all that. It just makes for tedious and painfully stupid reading. It's another pathetic protagonist who seemingly can't exist without companions, I will never understand the rationale.

    I believe he is calling the prospect stupid, which it truly is. So in that respect, you seem quite idiotic yourself.

    This codependent mindset is for weaklings.

    He was starting to appreciate her company as well; even Ken who didn't trust other humans felt a need to have people around him, it was a natural urge no sane human could resist.

    How would that make any sense? 'Perfect intelligence' is a misnomer to begin with. You can't exactly perfect something that isn't faulty.

    6 months passed since Baby Ken started his cultivation. His developed technique was almost completely different from the one described in the manual. Throughout the days of his training, he kept changing it to the point that it was now a technique especially tailored to his body.

    The protagonist is brash, brainless and boring. He acts like a child, the romance is frankly sickening, and he seems far to concerned with everyone around him. Too selfless and stupid for his own good. Pacing is slow, and the writing is too diluted, paragraphs of writing to explain the smallest details, every explanation is superfluous, and leaves nothing to be assumed. Mind you, the protagonist's lack of intelligence does influence this greatly, as he seems unable to discern even the most obvious of details. No redeeming factors, the author is a terrible writer, stop supporting this piece of trash. I don't even care much for character development, but it's evident the author is either a child or a moron, he is wholly unable to portray any adult.

    I like the part where this makes sense.

    "Let's increase my stats now." He muttered and distributed all the 2300 LPs in different stats.

    Everyone attempting to justify his stupidity, are equally idiotic. You must be constantly surrounded by stupidity to be unable to discern what intelligence truly offers. The protagonist lacks foresight, lacks intuitive thinking, and is blatantly imprudent. He lacks both intelligence and common sense, it isn't a matter of wisdom you buffoons.

    The dialogue and the interactions are all so frivolous. It's the same sentimental nonsense, Eva seems like nothing more than deadweight. Her presence is irritating, and yet he refuses to outright remove her.

    Pathetic fool.

    Xylon cast a strange look towards her, his expression inscrutable, before slowly leaning towards the wall with his arms crossed tightly in front of him. He took a deep breath, then spoke with a cold detachment in his voice, "Family means nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. It's best if you focus on your own life and let me focus on mine. From this day forward, let's make sure that we never see each other again. That would be for the best."

    I really wanted to like this, but I am fed up with this garbage. Firstly, the constant reference to manga/anime and the like is so cliche and unnecessary, while many might find it relatable, it's out of place, and doesn't inspire any confidence in both the author and protagonist. Secondly, the premise is ridiculous, he wasn't awake while every other single person on earth was... really? Then this supposedly grand being takes an undue interest in an otherwise ordinary, if not downright hopeless prospect. Why not groom someone who isn't such a pathetic fool? Lastly, the writing rubs me the wrong way, whether it's the first person narration, or transitioning to third person. While, there isn't anything wrong with first person, it's unconventional, and it doesn't help when you alternate to third person. Then there's the dialogue, which when you choose to have the protagonist converse with God, you aren't helping yourself out. The dialogue doesn't convey any depth or intricacy as it pertains to the speaker, which can be a hurdle, but when you have a supposedly nigh-omiscient character, I can't help but find it odd when he speaks as though he is a fledgling preteen. Which is only made worse when you capitalise his dialogue, and also include exclamation marks. I can understand the capitalisation, but unless he is actually shouting, there's no need to insert exclamation marks. Frankly you could've have done neither, and highlighted the manner of speech, either amplitude or depth, with dialogue tags. Overall, terrible characters, terrible writing, the story is a joke, and though I didn't see much of the world, I can only assume it would also be poorly developed.

    What the fuck is this garbage, once again an interesting premise, but it is filled with absolute nonsense. It's 20 chapters filled with petty squabbles and very little actual progress. Any expression of goodwill toward the protagonist seemingly arouses him. Especially when they only intend on gaining strength, he needs to pull his head out of his ass. It's another novel where it's filled with one fabricated altercation after another, there is no time for any actual progress to be made, he is yanked along like a dog. The protagonist is naive, and immature, which once again is contradictory to the premise. Having already lived one life, it seems he never grew out of puberty. The anti-hero tag seems misplaced, the protagonist is pathetically enthusiastic about helping everyone. This novel is an insult to the eyes.

    I agree that I'd rather he attempted to try and capture wild slimes, as opposed to what he's currently doing. But it seems like we aren't even arguing about the same thing. I am merely annoyed that he decided to give the slimes undue value by naming them in deference to the now deceased villagers. Your original comment made it seem as though you valued the named slimes, hence my ridicule.

    Alaric decided to sacrifice a named slime. He cared a great deal for these slimes, as they were the continuation of his family and friends, but right now he had no choice.
