Thank you for the information. Man, the SS are really interesting and add a lot to the story. Does anyone know what's going on with the author? It's been a while since his last update to the WN? Does he have a twitter or blog?

I like the premise of the story. It is isekai, but I enjoy the fact that the protagonist is such a dense moron that he doesn't realize what's going on.
I'm curious if the story will ever get to a point where Cid realize this isn't some elaborate play acting and the things he's making up in his mind are actually real or coming true. Chances are it would break the illusion. |

Regarding the wording used for your question 4, technically both are correct. Cid DID save Epsilon in more ways than one (debatable): Spoiler for Methods I can remember Cid saves Epsilon:
As for Cid's account of Alpha recruiting the seven shadows, do remember that in the first arc that Cid was complaining that she was bringing individuals suffering from demon possession like a child would bring stray cats to their house. Cid was a tiny bit fed up with the sudden appearance of more people. |

Think back at the first manga chapter where Cid trains himself to the point he looks too visible to not be seen as a mob character. Well, the curse is the same thing but more extreme. The curse is referred to as when the girls couldn't control their magic anymore that their bodies became physically altered, hence why they looked like lumps of meat. Only after Cid healed them that they turn back to normal albeit with some alterations. That's the point. |

True Words were never said better.
He says that he's thinking realistically but he's doing something that isn't realistic: 1) Instead of proposing to a normal girl, he asks the Princess of the kingdom to go out with him. The problem is that the Princess is a celebrity, of course people would notice him more, not as a no-name loser but a loser that got dumped. Asking out another girl with less status would have been preferable since she's going to overshadowed by Alexia anyway. 2) He has collected treasures and art and he spent it all, prettying his room which will not last for a couple more years when he graduates. 3) He says that it's impossible to beat guns and missiles but forgets the most common things that he's vulnerable to like the head concussion and motor vehicles, two of which responsible for his death. Even if he's maxed out his physical qualities, he is just a man. 4) He thinks all the bandits are hired actors but he still kills them anyway, as if they can be brought back to life. |

Questions
1. If Cid truly believes the Eminence in Shadow is fake, why does he still trying to achieve a fake goal? It's like saying you want to meet Santa Claus but you already know Santa is fake? 2. A smaller gripe during the God of War Tournament is that prior to learning Jimina is Shadow, everyone just thinks Jimina can't beat this person and this person. What kind of mentality is that? If you see Jimina taking on high level swordsmen, clearly he is just as skilled as any others? 3. I don't see the point of Cid making a bet with his friends to ask Alexia out. Couldn't he just ask the princess out without the whole bet thing? 4. I'm surprised Hyoro is still in school. You would think that after gambling all his money in the God of Tournament, his parents would have been more strict or sent him to military school? 5. I totally get Cid is a jerk but he isn't wrong to break up with Alexia considering he was nearly framed and executed and Iris had a part in it. I don't get why Alexia had the right to attack him? 6. Where was Kai and Omega when Epsilon was in her mission to assassinate Mordred? Why didn't they helped her out when she failed? 7. When Claire was kidnapped, Cid just gave up on her. Even if he didn't, if Claire wasn't found, won't Cid's parents pour all their hopes and dreams onto him meaning they'll watch Cid 24/7 and add in tons of homework thus he cannot do whatever he wants anymore? 8. You would think that bandits would wise up after so many bandits went to Midgar and vanished without a trace? |
