Did he actually kill those dudes or just blow a hole in their summoning circle?

Noum was so adorable when she got praised. She is my favorite character of the series. I love that murderous little earth spirit. :allears:

If you look at page 23 the spot where those guys were on the golem is a giant gaping hole. So unless they appear on the next chapter they dead.

Gamer's mind passive makes him not really care about killing dudes, as it turns out. He still has a long way to go to reach Re:Monster levels of psychopathy, though.

Yeah, one of his central powers is basically being a sociopath when it's convenient. He could skin dudes alive while they scream and cry and then make a coat out of their severed faces, and the only thing that would happen is he'd go "Man, it's pretty weird that I'm fine with this....but those are some *really* good stat bonuses.".

I don't know about that; he still thought the ogre panties were gross, despite them having great stats.

Sure, but he'd have exactly that level of reaction to skinning people alive for crafting mats. Not horror, not an existential crisis. Just a minor little twitch and he'd get on with his life. That's what it means to have the mindset of a video game character. You do what you have to do and you move on.

It's the same for real-life gamers. A shocking pink set of armor with great stats? nope, looks too gay. Killing a few million innocent people, wow, this is so cool!

He got pretty grossed out when zombie flesh dropped, and didn't even pick it up.

Yes, but he didn't go holy poo poo I am fighting monsters and I could die, what the hell is all this, my life is an inescapable hellscape of torment and horror. He went "ew" and moved on. It's all basically a joke to him.

The way I see his Gamer Mind ability, it makes him treat real life much like a videogame. Think about it. Would you equip your video game character with ogre panties? Probably not. But you would kill anything that gets in your way because that's how games work.

I don't know about you guys but I always equipped my dudes with the most flamboyant armor I could find. There's nothing like gunning down dudes while wearing hot pink body armor. :c00l:

Glad things are moving along, and seeing Noum so pleased is just so adorable. :3: I think Jee-Han hasn't processed what he's done just yet. And it was a kill-or-be-killed situation, I imagine that would go a long way toward eliminating empathy.

I wonder if the golem's fall into the pit crushed the mages on its' chest.

If he got put into Dead Rising he'd have been crossdressing three chapters in.

Not just foes, literally anything except ghosts. Re:Monster guy has at least 3x the abilities of Jee-han based on the current translation, probably much more than that actually. That's on top of whatever base stat gains he gets when he eats something.

Guy's come a long way from killing horned rabbits.

It is a rad ability though, I can't recall seeing anything quite like it in a story before. The closest thing would probably be "Absorb and remember the special abilities of others after you see them or experience them," but that's much more limited then "Eat anything, get some of its powers."

Imagine the power he'd get if he hate Jee-han...

Well okay all the cool people will dress in a ridiculous outfit for the fun of it, but Jee Han is obviously one of those serious people who plays games in a serious manner.

MangaJoy and MangaCow use different translations. The later is the competent one that use Gnome, but they don't update as often sometimes.

Meh.

I actually kinda like "Noum" because it makes me feel that it's a name rather than a generic title. And she deserves a name, dammit.

I'm still waiting for Noum to stab/crush/blend into red mist the controller wizards. All with a :D on her face.

Would've been disappointed if he didn't loot anything really. It'd be pretty good if he uses all the wands at once and one shots the golem

Well I mean he was kind of confused why they weren't dead until he saw the charms, so he was totally ready to kill them. Which is itself a pretty big shift from the norm. Go go Mind of the Gamer!

Also I love how his contribution to the fight so far has mostly just been hiding underground and regenerating MP.

I just love that the cultists are staring at Jee-han in mute disbelief as he steals their clothes like it's the most natural thing in the world.

The only way this could be improved on is if he tries to sell the stuff on Abyss Auction later.

Would have had to illustrate the faces. A normal PC would have stripped off every piece of clothing right down to the indestructible ogre skin underwear and the copper wiring out of their houses, but drawing a dozen identical masks is easier than drawing a dozen different faces.
