Wrong thread lol. Haha

Ah no, it’s ok, I just have difficulty to explain things properly, so it took me so much to even talk to people, me commenting was a rare occurrence. I also knew about his confidence, just our view is a little different about it and I just couldn’t explain it properly, so I didn’t include it(and I may have forgotten about it due to how long it took me to type). Anyway, I got your point now, and I find quite agreeable. Also, I like about how you found time to reply to basically every single comment, even the ones that are a bit harsh on criticising. Keep up the good work Author!

I think I have to agree with the paragraph comments from MrFalan a little here, author. (Oh boy, this is gonna be long) Don’t get me wrong, I got your point, Author, but I think you are missing his, MrFalan’s, point here. I know that his, the MC’s personality and maturity are as you say he is, Mr.(or Ms.? Idk sorry)Author, but I think what MrFalan trying to say is about his, the MC’s, ”experience”, particularly about his knowledge and understanding of the world. Now, all that comes after this is my opinion. I wrote “knowledge and understanding of the world”. And what I meant by that is NOT the knowledge and understanding of his previous world or his current one, Arcadius, as in history/geography/politics/etc, no. I meant it as in the way how humans or human societies works, or in other words, common sense. Like knowing how to read the room, or how the rich and powerful can almost get away with/for anything, for example. Okay, perhaps you can argue that with MC’s disabilities in his previous live, it prevented him to interact with people except his mother, thus not enabling him to understand such things (the way human works). But it’s not like he have absolutely 0 way to learn it, he’s not Yuan, from Cultivation Online, who is totally crippled and can not do or sense anything except hearing, talking a little and swallowing to eat/drink. Ethan can still see, which is the most important part in believing and learning something. If you hear about something, you may believe it, you may not. But if you see it , that something, happening with your own eyes, you will believe it, and it became true- a true new information and knowledge for you. Ethan can learn about such things from many medium, he play games and watch anime all day, surely he can learn some common sense that you should NOT walk through a suspicious back alley, let alone approach a person who is most certainly shady there, in a game or anime. I mean I learnt that appearance can be deceiving from novels & animes & mangas lol, like the cliché where the ones that look scary is actually the kindest person in the world and the most innocent looking one is actually the insane psychopath, guilty of the end of the world. Again, you could argue that common sense are different between two worlds, but no, somethings are just applicable everywhere, even in a different universe. Like the-don’t-go-approach-a-person-in-a-shady-back-alley- thing. Surely that could be used anywhere. To be honest, this whole thing started because of that(Emilio taking a route through the back alley and approached what apparently a “beggar girl” and get punished for it). And it could’ve been prevented if Ethan/Emilio have that kind of common sense (to not approach a stranger, especially in a back alley, ever). And provided that Ethan/Emilio is not an innocent man and is not an unintelligent person (or at least that’s my impression of him), he SHOULD have the knowledge to avoid this whole debacle. Now, I know why you decided to write it like this, and it kind of make sense, because it is an important turning point for the MC, but, to be honest with you, I don’t like it. It’s cliché, and my first reaction to this was like………really? Again, this whole situation could have been avoided if Emilio have that kind of common sense(the things I talked about), which he should have. Or maybe you should’ve written the MC’s character a little differently, I don’t know. You do you, author. This is your story after all. I’m just stating my opinion here. I might’ve spent the last 2, no scratch that, make that 2.5 hours trying to write all this, and still, this may sound confusing even after all my effort, yes, I know, but I just have to let this out there. TFTC.

How bad must your film be to not cover the budget cost with a $200 Million USD budget? I’m kind of interested in seeing it now. Every film in existence that have $200 Million USD or above for a budget have at least managed to successfully cover the budget cost, with the exception of 2? movies that are released when COVID-19 was spreading, and I’m not counting those that are meant for/made by/released by streaming services (e.g. The Tomorrow War). Or at least that is according to what I know of. But I would like to think that it is literally impossible for a movie with that much budget to not cover the cost, because even if the movie is bad, there’s at least some redeeming qualities in the movie from the $200 Million USD budget that would make some people watch the movie. Thus, enabling it to at least cover the budget cost. It could also be so bad that it became a meme, but that actually saves the movie (in terms of not making a net money loss of course) . (Morbius everyone?) Or who knows? Maybe it could be so bad that it’s not even meme-able, thus it can not be saved by any means, making it a movie to be forgotten. Thanks for the Chapter! :)

Interesting choice of songs to be on the same album, can’t really see how Bad Guy and Perfect could be in the same album and honestly the songs are so different and unique that I just couldn’t imagine it being sung by the same person and be as good as the original(that we know of). Also, I would love to see some old songs from some of the GOAT like Sinatra, Queen, MJ. Thanks for the chapter!!!
