games aren't meant to be realistic ;)
p.s. realistic games get boring fast, to me at least.
Same
What I meant was realistic for a game. Not realistic for real life. What I'm saying is the game is filled with a lot of bad game design, and the story uses a lot of contrivances that make NO sense to advance the plot.
the hero always needs a starting point. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
be it bad game design or some other bullshit that forces him to start from level 1 again
Most of your points can be answered with it simply being part of the game mechanics. I mean NPCs can be teleported whenever and wherever a trigger is performed. There are many instances in games where really they could have done it themselves but still mysteriously require players to do quests, so I can't say it's not "unrealistic" in games. Maybe the earl didn't know of the hidden cave the MC discovered? And maybe they couldn't risk their own soldiers, even if high-leveled, for some reason? I mean, using players to do your bidding is certainly a better alternative since they're "immortal".
Plus while there are level-restricted quests, there are also high-level quests that allows lower level players to participate, though usually they put warnings like recommended levels and such.
The final point, however, is indeed unique. So far, I haven't come across any manga/comics that featured a negative level (I think), but I wouldn't really call it illogical. Perhaps there are hidden game mechanics that only skilled players are meant to find. C'mon, you see it all the time in games -- cheats, easter eggs, or a totally secret element.
Plus, the fact that it's already raising questions may not really be a negative thing, at least for me anyways. It's meant to be answered later in the story since the story is still being set up, so I still recommend to continue reading (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I'm amazed you actually took the time to think about it.
Well beein a otaku obviously one would take the time to think things through! For Manga!!
1: The earl arrived immediately when he was betrayed. Just...how? Why is he there himself? It makes no sense.
2: The knight that tailed the mc clearly had no problems getting in there. Why didn't the earl just send out his own knights to find the book? They would have had a far easier time.
3: The earl FORCED the mc to do a quest way above his level. No player would actually deal with that. Also why didn't the earl just hire someone of higher level?
4: Level -1? Seriously? No RPG would do such a thing. Ever.
This game inside this manga is just so unrealistic. I feel like no player would want to play it when you get screwed over so easily in it. And there's just a lot of stupid premises the story relies on to even start so far. I don't know if this is worth reading or not as so far the story is pretty aggravating to me. Raises far too many "why?!" questions already.
