Not only does it not undermine an existing "great" character for the sake of uplifting the MC, it also recognizes the charms of how an actor is "great". We get this comparison wars ALWAYS with both awards and fan-bias, as if two actors can't stand equally great in their interpretation of a work. Of course, it doesn't remove the reality that bias is a matter of majority, hence the awards. Also, in both ways of how actors get along, adding the playwrights in their power struggle to work on a script is equally admirable <3 there's so much to learn from the author's way of layering the metascript jykell and hyde as 2 in 1 as a motif to how 2 actors or 2 playwrights are unanimous in their goal to produce a work that is both self-satisfying and impactful to the audience.
More importantly, i love MC's advice to his playwright friend about having a Hyde to prevent being taken for granted.

I wanna gave em too huhu anyway, it's really disappointing when the owner cant even go an extra mile to look for decent owners to take over....like based on how the dog looks, it's well taken care of (unless it was newly given, but she did say she secretly reared it). You've already bothered to keep it a secret, bother yourself to look for owners. Even taking it to a shelter is good enough since the shelter will at least promote it...
But yeah sure, a good teaching opportunity for siha, ig.

My girl has been abused all her life and found hope in him, why y'all acting confused about human nature?
That aside, was wondering if this white haired teller is part of the "making things vague for tellers to keep their guard down" given how important he is. I'm still a little confused about the origins of the tellers and collectors esp now that the guy was missing BEFORE the unification but our MC already tagged him as a teller (unless im confusing timelines and worldbuilding). MC's OG life was a tad cut short tbh. But ig it's just 21 chapters so...

Exactly the question I have in mind with these elimination shows (/TДT)/. It's like an awkward integration of akgaes (and lucky multis) and solo-stans where they still compete for screentime during the duration of the contract.
Like I'm honestly so glad the survival show my ult had was literally thriving to STAY together. A big sentimental dive into making sure it stays that way. But damn. Having to vote your fave and rubbing elbows with other fans because of team evaluations... ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ not worth the emotional investment ngl

From traitors to plain difference in belief or method, there's a lot of complicated interactions between leaders. So there's always that tension that the economy Shizuko is building will fail once other leaders try to mess with her community. I'd rather Shizuko focus on keeping peace with the people and leave the violence to her uncle...coz I see it with how she's slowly taking apart the notions of other people towards Oda with the newspaper. But everytime she shows up talking about explosives, I keep wishing she just goes back to being a farmer (but I know that Oda here loves to leash her ╥﹏╥)

Well from what I can see, Shizuko feels it is her responsibility to join the fight to take ownership of the weapons she introduced. Not only that but to protect the life she has built for herself and the people around her. That might also be why she so willingly shares her information, less damage if the ones who invade have already taken in some of Shizuko's policies.

I've understood that when she first took on her role as one of the leaders in the battlefield and even witnessed death firsthand. She participated with her uncle because of it, but the tension gets me so bad I wish she gives full reign to her uncle instead and focus on influencing the people more and more esp since most soldiers are common folk. She's good at building the economy and could probably stablize it for Oda (like the newspapers), so there's that yearning to wish she'd stay behind the frontlines(/TДT)/ coz look at these leaders having their eyes on her as Oda places her in the limelight more and more. Istg, the author makes me fear she'd actually die or be injured in the future.
Didn't he have an event where he visited a child in a hospital in his Jack Sparrow costume? Also, I know it isn't unique to him coz there are other cosplayers/actors who do it, so it's just heartwarming when little things (but actually big deal for the children) are done to motivate them as much as it also includes to so many activities which their illness restricts them from experiencing.
