Poor Seedling

I feel very bad for Seedling. He’s very autism-coded to me, so seeing Jay really rib and hate on him makes me go TuT even if I get it.

Yeah, he fucked up with the fireslug, jumping into a fight he didn’t have a clear chance at winning and needlessly making it rampage. But I thought he was sorta correct during the fire carriage, even if he was tactless about it. Jae is still a low level, took on a quest (unwillingly, granted) she was not at a capacity to confidently do, was berating herself the entire journey that she was weak and was trying to argue that her dryads were fine and she was the weak one when her dryads skills ARE tied to her level. They can’t use their bigger skills thanks to her soul limit. She literally only wion via pay-to-win which is technically NOT strength.

That’s one of my peeves about determined “i just gotta believe and not give up” stories is that they tend to undermine the trait of knowing when to pick your battles and run. It’s worked out for her so far, as I just finished the Saving Terrarium 28 arc. She is absolutely correct to not want to pull Daisy out at the slightest hint of danger, but I hope her special-grade dryads and string of lucky victories doesn’t leave her overconfident and push her into battles that go way over her head, even if she does have infinite money.

    This is honestly what annoys me the fck so much. She's too over confident. Seedling is really just straightforward as hell but he's just spitting facts.

    It sucks because I remember liking the Plants SO MUCH. I liked watching them evolve, getting new skills and visuals. And it being a sort of reverse-harem game helped. I wanted to learn more about the game world but man, the MC dragged it all down with her idealistic preachiness.

    I should give it another go maybe, now that I’ve had at least a year away from it. See if it gets better.
