Logically in a world that makes available indestructible leopard-print panties, all of her clothing gives her some kind of magical benefit, or has some kind of enhanced quality to it. But I too want to believe she's just cosplaying :tinfoil:.

It's good that Jee-Han is getting proper martial training, one of the few flaws left in his bullshit character is that he's vulnerable if he runs out of MP or has his spell casting ability sealed away somehow.

Edit: Remember when those two low-level Abyss guys tried to fight/kidnap him and our favorite formerly demon-souled nuna? How completely would he own guys like that now? And it's only been a few months of training from then, good grief.

It isn't like there are random drops outside of Jee-Han's reality bending. If indestructible leopard print panties show up, that is because someone put in the time and effort to make them. If she has magic clothes then she probably custom ordered them, since they would still have to fit her (and she is tiny). So, regardless of benefits she is still totally cosplaying.

He doesn't actually live in a generic fantasy world though.

This is also why pure specialization is probably a bad idea. It's a good idea in MMOs but in reality it's a terrible idea to be awesome at one thing and terrible at everything else (especially when you consider the fact that there are generally diminishing returns as you become better at things). It's like if you took the soldiers who do mechanical support for tanks and gave them zero combat training or something.

Hyperspecialization is only a good thing to aim for if other people are picking up the slack. If you have a party, having the tank be as tanky as possible and the healer be as healy as possible is a net benefit. If you're solo, it's awful.

Not just Touhou, the witches in Terry Pratchett's books work entirely on the precept that if you want to be a witch, you need to dress and act the part. They call it headology.

Yeah, being a cranky old(ish) lady who doesn't take no for an answer and is vaguely terrifying was 99% of a witch's duty and power set in discworld. Although if you mess up enough for them to turn to that one percent, child, you are effed.

Edit: Fabricated, yes, that's one definite downside to that method of doing things. The question is, do they think that they can metaphysically pin it on somebody else or have some way of making it worth the pain.

Apparently people can wander into the Abyss by accident and wind up becoming permanent residents, like those soldiers Jee-Han beat the crap out of during the big battle over the sick girl's soul. I think the deal is that the more you influence the real world, the worse your luck gets.

Drag a few sleeping kids into an imaginary dungeon where no one can see them and they will most likely think it was a dream? Now you'll never win the lottery.

Ride a dragon through times square? Have 5 heart attacks and spontaneously combust.

I'm pretty sure this is the scheme that those guys were hatching about f2p games like a month or two ago. Maybe they're using the collected "attention" energy from people to create a god in the dungeon, and teleporting people into it when they volunteer to do so by clicking yes in that dialogue is their way of getting human sacrifices for said god.

i think the transport is just a more efficient way of gathering energy, the whole godmaking seems more like a side effect than the purpose.

Caring a lot about if someone's eaten is one of those Korean culture things. Due to Confucianism and such, it's normal for someone who's older/superior to you to ask that if you're close, in addition to your mom or grandma or whatever. It also ties in who pays for a meal when you go out. If you're sufficiently intimate, the older person usually pays for both of you. It'd be shameful otherwise.

Basically that line is gentle reminder that she's older/superior to Jee Han. And why Jee Han is all "Yeah right, Loli Noona".

The best part is that apparently Jeehan took the witch's picture when she was feeling grumpy :3:

And I guess so long as you're in an illusion barrier, gaia gives no fucks what happens to you. So I guess so long as a person mysteriously disappears from the real world and dies in the Abyss, Gaia won't punish the perpetrator.
I'm guess pulling Muggles into the abyss requires some serious skill?

Or the president has latent Abyss abilities which the app found. Thus allowing people to drag her into the labyrinth.

My current guesses are that the group behind this thinks that they have some serious skills at avoiding consequences (see plans that involved getting the Corporation to fight Sung-gong and win) and think that they can pass the buck, or that the overpoweredness of the Kobold King is intentional.

That they've got some hidden way of saving the lives of people that should die in there, and those people just remember a vivid dream about the game. That would require them to be able to harness energy in unusual ways, though.

It hasn't really happened yet, but given how the author keeps teasing the harem/romance aspect I think we'll be seeing one of the "harem" members, or a new female character, in a sexy outfit of some kind soon. I don't expect it to be low-cut dress, short skirt, and boob-ribbon sexy, but flashier than we've seen so far. Seems like a good opportunity for Jee-Han to somehow pick up a weird skill or skill increase too. Observe leveling up, maybe?
