While I don't agree with the MC's logic of the highest one in the hierarchy handling majority of the work since distribution of labour according to those experts in the required topics is far smarter, it also isn't right to be at the top of the pecking order and be unaware of the happenings in your job. I hope the two can compromise. Also, that cliffhanger is giving me anxiety and I want to see them having *graphic* sex because the art and characters are too beautiful.
Does anyone know what the MC wants? Why is he putting in so much effort for another world? In the starting I thought he was tired of being overworked but rn he seems to really enjoying working so I'm a bit confused about his character motivations and wants.
try to understand the japanese work culture/ethics, since his motivations mostly revolve around that. in japan, work isn't regarded as "just a job" but something you do for some kind of fulfillment, and everyone has different reasons for wanting to be fulfilled. our mc has lived like that for the past years of his life, and he also said that if he starts doing nothing then he'd feel more anxious. in a way, he really does enjoy the work he does as a "corporate slave"--just not the politics or the chronic illnesses it brings him.
even tho he hates working he would still do it coz he would feel really guilty 4 not doing any work since black company usually force their employee 2 work overtime without payment & if every1 is working hard 2 accomplish dis except u u would feel really guilty
basically hes kinda going thro a sweatshop & a psychological disorder where if he doesnt work he would feel anxious o super guilty
That makes sense. I have heard quite a lot about the toxic work culture in Japan so his thinking does align with that. Plus the manga chapters after that also elaborated on this topic so that helped me understand the MC more. Thx for the input!
But did it say that the day was divided into six parts; fire, water, earth, wind, wood and light? What does that mean? How does it work? Is it explained later on?
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_affairs_of_the_other_world_depend_on_the_corporate_slave/uu/mpn_chapter-2390980/25/
So instead of 24 hours, the day is divided into 6 parts so each part would be 4 hours
It would’ve been 4 hours if amount of minutes in an hour were the same, but here there are 120 minutes (doubled) in an hour so each part would be 2 hours instead of 4. So the total amount of hours in a day is 12. A regular clock has 12 numbers, but here I think there are 6 numbers
In this page the clock has 6 instead of 12, and in the note it says the hour of light is from 10am to 12pm

Here I edited it so that it’s easier to understand
Thank you so much! It's much easier to understand now. You're a lifesaver (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Np glad I could help
Really handed shortie a tomato like it was an apple he could bite into.
I think it was a persimmon fruit
I had to look that up and omg that makes a lot more sense. I was like; he really wants him to chow down on that tomato huh?
I eat tomatoes like an apple ╥﹏╥
I admire you but I could never do that.
I bow down to you m'lord.
Same.(⊙…⊙ )
we are a rare breed
Yes, we are...
The size and grandeur of the academy took me off guard. It looks really elite, especially for a new school. It must've been expensive as hell. Whaddya guys think? Realistic?
Ps. I'm not flaming the manga (?), I'm just curious.
IMO, it is pretty realistic. It used to be a school already; it used to be an elite/prestigious knight's academy or something like that, they just took over it because the owner died, which was Jillian's husband.
Oh that makes sense. It kinda slipped my mind but thx for reminding me.
Want to see Ruda's face when he finds out that Dan-I doesn't even think of him as a man.
I'm kinda shipping Ban Yeoryeong and Mina after this, tf.
Her and the red head are still cute doe.
I feel like the friend group should just go the poly route Istg. Dan-I with both male leads and Ban Yeoryeong, Ban Yeoryeong with red head and Mina, and the rest have platonic friendships.
Can someone explain the difference between reapers and goblins? Who/what they are? Were they both once human or are they an entirely different species? If both start out as humans, what decides who becomes a reaper and who becomes a goblin? Who has more power? What are their respective jobs? What is the area under their jurisdiction? Is there a hierarchy? I'm so curious about the world and lore. HELP.
Ok this is gonna take a while
So: reapers are dead human criminals, they dont have names only the numbers on their necks, they serve under their king and have their respective territories where they lead dead souls to the underworld
We dont know a lot about goblins, they seem of a lower hierarchy than reapers, maybe they assist the reapers, theyre immortal or can get very old, as far as ik theyre not humans,
Hope it helped
I understand all 3 characters (OG!Eris, Helena and MC)
OG!Eris did have it tough and the Prince was undoubtedly cruel to her (fuck him btw), but that only explains her actions, it does not excuse them. She too was showing cruelty to someone who did not deserve it and was in that way imitating her own tormentor (the Prince). She definitely endured a lot of hardships but she's never really struggled in life so that does lessen my sympathy for her. I still do pity her immensely and hope that her soul somehow finds peace.
Helena is a complicated one as well. Her character design is very unique and much more believable this way rather than being a Mary Sue. She likely has a lot of trauma cuz of her mother and a lot of pressure from a bunch of directions, but at the same time she's somewhat passive and since her kindness and constant interference causes our MC harm I cannot really like her freely. At the end of the day, intentions can only take you so far till your actions begin to speak for themselves. And Helena has not put forward any action to change her scenario and is just sort of content to be miserable in it.
MC ofc is the best of the lot. Probably the most realistic depiction of isekai and its consequences that I've read about in a while and I love her character progression so far. Her suicide ideation does make a bit sad. Doe I am a bit leery about so many people knowing the truth about her. It does make a nice change of pace when the MC is actively trying to go back. It's fascinating see her manage all these relationships and still hold her, while fluctuating between her mindset of "they're all fictional characters" and "I care about them . . . FUCK", and the understandably, grey morality she seems to have. Love her having both vulnerable and badass moments. She's definitely the pearl of this story.
The woman in this are slaying.
BTW, regarding the King who framed his firstborn for something and had him killed, there's a special place in hell reserved for scum like you.
Loved this story so far.
Beautifully put
