Whadyamean

That’s just not how intimidate works

From what’s been said it more seems like their society hasn’t devloped enough in the Kanyo leauges 70 years to fully explore all these moves and stratagies. Which makes sense because of how often are they suffering from organized crime and corruption would severely lower the priority on researching these things.

This story is the epitome of boring. The writing quality is consistently bland and dialogue feels more like robots reading off a checklist to each other than an actual conversation. The characters are borderline stereotypical with just enough personality to seem somewhat unique, but never break out of the mold, unfortunately this has resulted in a lack of character devlopment. No one changes ever, throughout over the 200,000+ words of this behemoth of a story I’ve read no one changes. This stagnation results in some of the most frustrating scenes I have ever read. The MC despite DYING and apparently realizing he needs to be better makes the exact same f*cking mistakes over and over again. He f*cks around building despite outright admitting that he has exttemely low combat capability and should get some training done to avoid getting slaughtered like how he first died. Overall this story is a waste of time, sure things happen, but they feel meaningless as in the end everything will turn out ok because that’s what’s needed for the next shallow plot beat to happen based on whatever dispassionate timeline the authors following.

I swear this story was so good m but the MC or Trader keepe feeling a side character in his own story every chapter. Everyone else is doing things, causing events, developing and growing as peopel and their agendas while he’s just been in some sort of stasis chamber unable to do anything worthwhile.

Honestly I’m fine with the terms stated in the chapter as gaining a powerful ally for just food is all well and good, I just like finding loopholes in this stuff. I have faith either way considering how great the stories been so far.

Go at your own pace and write how you want to when you want too. I’d rather wait a day or two for a chapter than you get burnt out from having to constantly fix things and getting burnt out.

Honestly I wouldn’t, it’d be nice for the MC to actually get a servant of some kind who he isn’t beholden to. I’d like to see the MC actually gain some hard power rather than having to tend to a caveat attached to it as seeing the MC have to dance around the needs of their own subordinates and tend to them like a nanny is rather frustrating. There not his servant if he needs to listen to them. Besides the spirit said this was their first time ironing out a contract and was the first of their kind to be contracted, they have literally no idea how this works aside from their instinctual understanding. Scamming Ifrit makes complete sense and I see no reason why the MC would decide to be cordial or whatever when they have the chance at effectively getting a slave for an indefinite amount of time for essentially free. Like I thought this was going somewhere and that the MC was doing something smart in consolidating their power through getting a spirit at their beck and call for essentially free.

This is going to be a PR disaster, R.I.P. those recruit numbers.

That is what the entirety of law enforcement is built on yes. The police aren’t there to help old ladies cross the street but enforce the law through punishments such as tickets and in extreme cases force.

Fallout is an interesting universe because of this whole predicament. Our modern ideology is based solely on the reactions of the problems of the past. But by regressing human society and the world as a whole so too does their system of government as the iron fist of a dictator is needed to stamp out bandits and hostile wildlife in such a way that a more “modern” government wouldn’t be able to leading them to be a persistent issue.
