The book ban arc put me into a physiological crisis. Idk why but the last 4 books I've read have all had issues where there is no easy clear answer, and where the choice MC made was right but also lead to so many consequences, which is where I see this going. but this author has such a great way to have very real world applicable discorse in such an intriguing way. That's one of the reasons I love this book

I don't get it, why did MC kill the emperor? I understand why he killed An Le, but why also the emperor? Can someone explain please?
Spoiler
I think I got it. Since a citizen from xianle killed everyone else, he left the emperor alive so that the emperor would kick-start a war. But MC killed the emperor to leave no witnesses. Then later he found Ah Le and heard about Ah Les plans for war, and killed An Le to prevent his plans. Keeping the safety of everyone. I think. So the emperor just had to die as the last witness to stop the potential war...
Well first things first. Anastasia was never an empress, she was a princess. The youngest or one of the younger daughters of the royal family when they were murdered during the Russian revolution. And it's not that her body was never disposed properly, it's that her body was never found. Or at least we weren't able to identify it with the other remains of the royal family. Especially since the castle was burned down so most of the body's were charred anyways. Could have been a translation error but wanted to clarify. If anything I say is false please correct me I'm going off of my memory of events
For those who don't know. The publishing company for this series was toxic. The author/artist had to leave, but unfortunately the publishing company owned the rights to the book. So this book will never be finished, because the author doesn't work there anymore and she is legally unable to produce more chapters
1st problem: Okay the heck is the tower game he was playing? I thought it was single player, but it has to be multiplayer. But multiplayer doesn't make sense in the context of him being the only one still playing it. His first major item he gets gathers and fuses skills... The hell are skills? If you are playing a game, do you pick your skills? But this is the real world and people seem to be assigned them like other gate type manhwa series. How can MC know the answer to all different types of fusions (like the contract fusion) if he was the only one still playing this game for YEARS!?! Where can he find other players to take their skills and fuse them? How did he do this testing in the game that was multiplayer, but he was the final player?
2nd problem: his confidence. Is this game virtual reality or a PC game? It seems to be a PC game based on the technology of the world, but it has to be a VR game for his level on confidence. The hell does it come from? Even Kim Dokja acted confident but really struggled to enact his plans because he is an office worker who has never worked out a day in his life. Even with MCs knowledge that doesn't equal skills to back it up. MC knows the attack patterns on the mobs, but if it was a PC game, just cuz you know how to beat a monster in a game doesn't mean you can easily defeat it in real life where it's your body and your muscles you now have to relay on. MC was established as broke, had to fast before large food intake, idk how he has the strength to reasonably accomplish this. Also his cheats make no sense if he was solo-ing this whole thing for the last idk 6 years (ik it's 11 years but I'm assuming there were still some people till about year 5 when the game should mostly be forgotten by now), especially since he had to recreate his character from scratch. That doesn't make sense if his skills are dependant on other players skills to copy and fuse?!?
Problem 3: dumbass side characters. That woman who got stuck in the labyrinth with MC at one chapter is like, we have to stay near him so that we can escape, and then the next chapter is like, help is coming in 3 days, let's kill him now. They still aren't gunna be able to escape.... Sigh. This is brain dead. MC is over confident and has physical skills that come out of his ass (will make sense if there was progression due to stats or something, but he defeated tree monster without any of that...). I just wish I had something else to read. I've read everything by now :')
This is a personal rant, I do appreciate civil discourse about the problems I've pointed out and how you see them differently or if you agree. I'm still gunna read because I eat trash unfortunately, and I've got nothing better to read rn. I'd appreciate recommendations if you got them. I just had to rant since it won't leave my mind till I write it down :/
Update: chapter 15, plothole 4: his old friends who stopped playing this game 11 YEARS AGO!!! Are 24 and 25. You do the math. Granted lots of 13 and 14 year olds play game, but they don't have big streaming followers.... And sign streaming contracts with black companies...
I do agree with what u said, sometimes i think to myself this plot is real life and not based based on "game" anymore. I do sometimes think on how people don't consider him as a player who reached the 50th floor lol also i get confused with the plot js like u and the fusion and all. I know he was the1 to complete all the floors but why couldn't he had done what he did in reality on the time when it was js a vr game. Honestly this is a good manwha and all but it just gets confusing lol
