To be fair if there was ever going to be a super-being that derived his power through grinding ridiculous rpg stats, he would *absolutely* come from Korea. So that part is perfect.

Arkeus posted:That's a common point for every single media in every countries, nothing special about 'Korea' here. Anyway, this last chapter seemed to be more of a "setup" chapter for what's to come. We did get a bit of a reveal near the end, but more or less the whole thing was some big-time history/info dump along with preparing for the next thing. I almost wish the author/artist would wait two weeks and publish two chapters at once -- the setup and then what he setup. Also, it appears there aren't any mages or what-not in South America at all.

That level of nationalism baffles me. Here in Chile our world maps are centered on the prime meridian as it should be. And South America (except Brazil) literally always gets shafted in fiction, you just get used to it.

A lot of places in Asia/Oceania often use pacific centred mapping as it minimises projection distortion for their region. Perfectly logical. USA does the same thing with their America centred maps that cut Asia in half. Centring on the date line and Prime Meridian lines are also pretty common projections and fairly logical.

Except the prime meridian runs through England because of nationalism. Well, nationalism and the fact that the British did definitive work to improve longitude calculation at sea.

No matter how much kudos you've earned, you still don't have the right to spell "center" as "centre"

I know one of America's myriad hobbies is saying "yaa boo sucks" to the French, but we have to share a continent with them. With that in mind, I think we collectively decided not to mangle all of the words we stole.

Wisdom starts to pay off almost immediately: She tells him this not just once, but twice. Seems the wisdom stat more or less gives you the ability to figure things out. Sort of like a detective.

So did he just never look closely at her ailment description, or what? Either way that was really neat. I'm really hopeful the black guy doesn't end up as a throwaway villain.

I guess more specifically probably never even looked it up on whatever counts for an Abyss wikipedia. Abyssipedia? In game descriptions tend to be bad (or even misleading) compared to how things mechanically work, and thus how the playerbase understands them.

Well, the first time he observed her he basically got the same info. quote:A girl invaded by the Darkness attribute, and the Demonic attribute from birth. Affected by the innate curse, the Black Demon's Invasion, which constantly drains the body's life force. It's hard to live long even if she is given life force periodically. He just either forgot it, didn't understand it, or assumed it was flavor text and not actually relevant.

What if there's a character in the Abyss that can respec people? That seems plausible. Either that or a rare relic/shrine/etc that does the same.

Nah, I don't mean literally only respeccing stat points, but things like how people might have an affinity towards some ability, or like how the Chunbu Moon guys can't cross the chi streams and only pick up that one type of chi channeling.
