You can just hear the narrator's sarcasm intensify each chapter.

 

[BiFiBi]

It looks like page 12 is missing, isn't it?

 

[Monky]

Missing page it seems

 

[LuckyJim]

There was an issue with the way the file was being read, but it's fixed now.

 

[Acolytus]

The Snake Oil merchant was probably a reference to Nigel West Dickens from the first Red Dead Redemption.

Their name, "profession" and even their appearance matches. Not to mention how all the elixirs effects except for the love one sound exactly like what RDR's tonics do.

 

[Markgraf]

Oakley, just split a bottle of whiskey with Evans. Your luck is bound to be better.

 

[ReaperCreeper]

@Acolytus Google snake oil salesman and you'll see a lot of similar looking types. It's a popular western trope.

 

[forecast]

Evans keeping his emotions in check as a girl casually rejects him on stage, what a man.



Snake oil salesman.
The trope is way too old that it is basically set in stone to be a reference to all that comes after it.
Even the oxford dictionary defined snake oil as a quack remedy and it was published around the late 1800's

 

[KafukaPalazzo]

The narrator is so done with Evan's shit.

 

[Nightlilygirl-]

Aw, they really are made for each other XD

 

[IJustMadeThisToComment]

Ishigami may be our guy.
But Evans is our man.

 

[kuma]

LMAO, this dork couple is that desperate! XDXDXD

 

[alteryume]

There is a fun board game with the same name based on the same trope.

Oakley, you dont need whats inside the bottle, just the bottle so you can smash it in Evans head and then you can have your way with him.

 

[Weoooo]

Basically, there was a point in medicine's history where no one was watching anyone do fuck all and no one had any idea about how anything worked, so people would sell cure all tonics that were usually something sweet, drugs, and made up exotic ingredients. Sometimes they were scammers, sometimes they genuinely thought they were on to something. But the reason the Snake Oil Salesman is an old west story staple is because there were people wandering around selling 'medicine' that could do basically anything.

 

[belkrax]

RIP Evans, you cant win against pretty boys.

 

[DaoLaw]

The Evans's face can summarize all this chapter XD

 

[CyanHide]

@Exile
Well, I guess that’s one way to be direct
