"It can't be easy to be this stupid." Damn, I love it.

I don't get it, don't they all already know about her disease? That it is deadly and has no cure? In her case, the only reason she will survive is because her soul was switched, and the soul is the one carrying the disease. But everyone in that room is acting as if they were learning of her...

I'm alway annoyed by authors writing stories about game like worlds because it's obvious they're not gamers. Leaving aside ridiculous notions like "some guy being widely recognized as the best player in a MMORPG", unique skills that only one person has, or mechanics that make no sense, the fact...

@RandomnessOfTheMathWorld my point is there's no such choice to make. Your choices are "do whatever you like for 70 years, then go to hell" or "follow a religion for 70 years, then go to hell anyway because you picked the wrong one".

Glad she's taking the pills seriously, and looks like she will ask Hades for help learning what they do. I wonder what the father's position is here. Does he care more about the prophecy and the family lineage, or his daughter? That is to say, is he complicit with the temple, knowing what the...

@darekpawlo Pascal's wager assumes a false dicotomy between existence or non-existence of a single god though. You could bet that god exists, but still get the wrong faith and go to hell anyways. That would be the worst of all cases: you gave up worldly pleasures betting for an eternity in...

Brave words for a bunch of traitors that are next on the chopping block.

Eh, kind of a spoiler, telling us already that she became the warrior that saved the world.

I like this. Honestly, I blame the brother for the whole mess. As the ruler, it's his job to look after the defense of the island, educate his sister, and deny any excessive requests. When he heard the fireworks would compromise security, he should have said no. Otherwise, why would the defenses...

Seriously, the knight has the balls to complain to the duke when he left the girl alone because she said she wasn't his lady? The knight should have stuck to her like glue, so that even if he couldn't return her to the Kalisto, no one would dare harm her. Plus, they wouldn't be in the situation...

Why is the knight following the command of a child instead of doing his job? At least say that you will stay by her side even if she can't be returned to the Kalisto state. Of course a child will want to avoid a fight if you threaten her. As an adult, and one pledged to protecting her, your job...

@Oeconomist I don't think it's unfortunate. Everyone can be studious if they learn some discipline, but being talented is up to chance. So why would you praise the talent you get at birth and not the discipline you learn with effort? And being studious is more often better than being talented...

I'm guessing an encirclement, although it's not often the case that the enemy army runs into the middle of it on purpose, after noticing that the troops are split in two groups. I guess placing himself in a highly visible position to bait the enemy is part of the plan, but it's still very...

The father looks like a pushover, so I'm guessing throwing a tantrum is Aisha's trump card when dealing with him. I believe her when she says she doesn't want to, but she probably knows, from her memories and experience, that this is the most effective way of getting a straight answer out of...

Even with the explanation that they messed with his magic power, him saying the exact location of it is stupid. Like, you know the position, and you think the other guy knows the position, so why would you bring the position up in the conversation? "How did you find where I was hiding it?" is a...

@KazutoKatsuragi Your point 1 doesn't actually answer the issue. If Iglis hurts or murders or makes the guy disappear, it will cause a diplomatic incident. This is a guy that can murder a noble in the middle of a party, then tell the authorities "Say that he died of natural causes", and they...

I'm confused about the current situation. Rahal abused his position to get a knight to sleep with him, and burned a noble man to death as a show that he can do whatever he wants and people will cover it up to retain good relations with the Highland. Iglis agreed to go with him to avoid...

"I'll loaf around and not do any work!" Immediately proceeds to display her skills and make antidotes without being asked to.

So this genius modern person apparently never bothered to pick up a history book, a map, or have a conversation with any of the demons he was convinced there could be peace with. If he had, he might have picked up on the fact that apparently, the humans were the ones invading the demons. He...

Gotta wonder how she was a villainess at all before. The idea is someone who abuses their position, but without her father backing her antics, she wouldn't really be able to abuse anyone. I mean, everyone seems comfortable badmouthing her to her face, knowing that at worst they'll get slapped or...
