Nonbiri VRMMO-ki - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - We've Made Karaage

[Kaarme]

A lower-class, absolute beginner potion heals 30% of HP? Instantly? It's quite funny that if a high level player has 1000HP, they would get healed 300HP by that "lower-class" potion. All in all it looks like an extremely casual game.

 

[Meybi]

@Kaarme most games heal this much or more with "beginner" even harcore games like darksouls or path of exiles, so its quite accurate.

 

[Kaarme]

@Meybi In those hardcore games the potions would be few and far between, though, carefully placed by the level designers who look at the bigger picture and always know, approximately, how strong the player character will be at any point of the story. They are a part of the general difficulty level. So, in that sense healing 30% wouldn't be so strange. But if we want some kind of predictability and immersion in a more free world, I think it's weird it heals 30%. If someone's max HP is 10, it heals 3 points. If max is 100, it heals 30, etc. The exact same potion. That makes very little sense. Of course it's magic we are talking about, but still they should heal a certain, absolute amount of points, not a percentage. There could be weird, mysterious potions healing percentages, but those wouldn't be some low quality beginner potions.

Well, this is of course just how I view it.

@Kaarme - if we assume a potion restores some amount of your body (say, grows back an arm or an equivalent amount in lesser injuries), and high hit points mean your body is tougher, it makes certain sense.
It's when you assume that high HP = more body mass or high HP = can live on with greater injuries that restoring fixed HP makes more sense.
Alternatively, you can assume that whatever allows you to have high HP also allows you to restore them faster by absorbing more healing from the same potion.
Of course, that's assuming people can have high HP in the first place. In a MMORPG I'm playing, the difference between the lowest and highest HP I've ever seen was just 6 times. (and guides say 3 times the lowest possible amount is enough for a tank)

I could do without the freaking lolicon brigade...jeebuz

 

[dudewithmagic]

I will give it another chapter but I am getting really uncomfortable with the lolicons so much so that I am now worried for pre-pubescent girls in Japan. I hope this is a spoof and not the norm, it would be super disgusting if that's how they normally are treated

If continues ill just find another manga but this is seriously creepy
