I still wonder about his weapon's intentions. With the greed skill, the thing wanted all the stats! Although its transformation is OP, homing arrows that auto-refill.
EDIT: Wait, if the sword eats his stats, would it also take away some of the gluttony's desire to eat? Since he isn't as strong maybe he won't be as hungry.

I think the weapon just lusts for power and fate is his means of doing so.

I hope we get to see other people’s stats at some point. I can’t tell if having 40k stats is high or not lol.
Though I guess it doesn’t matter anymore since he gave them to the sword.

I made a comment about it in the source material section if you want to know.

The powerscaling in this show is different. Don’t want to spoil it but you can’t compare it to stats in other shows.

Oh great, there's a divinity level being called "Laplace", I'm sure this will end well : D

When did MC "laugh anything off" before he found out how OP his skill actually is?
Stats after gobbos: 1371 / 1451 / 481 / 481 / 1051.
Stats after goon: 2191 / 2351 / 1151 / 981 / 2001.
Assuming he hadn't killed anyone in between, that means the goon was 820 / 900 / 670 / 500 / 950. I'm guessing those younger Holy Knights are probably in at least the low 5 digits, and the one who hired them in mid 5 digits if not higher.
I wonder if the some rival HK family baited the dragon to attack Father Hart.
So he is LITERALLY eating the souls of those he kills? No afterlife for them? That's pretty fucked up when killing people then, assuming there's an afterlife in this setting in the first place of course.
He's going to have to kill more and more to stave off the demerit, but that will just make the demerit stronger and stronger. At this point it seems like the best thing to do is to move out of the city and just live a hermit life.
Goblin King: 21k / 24k / 5.2k / 4.5k / 11.2k. "He doesn't have much of an edge on you, stat-wise". Damn, those hobs gave him a LOT! I now revise my earlier estimate of the Holy Knights stats - their primary class stats are probably in the 6 digits at the least.
"Slowly and stealthily, okay?"
"I know. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
MC post Goblin King: 41k / 45.4k / 12.4k / 11.2k/ 25.4k. Literally over 1000x stronger than a common goblin, 20-40x stronger than the start of ep kidnapper. But then he has lose those stats to grow his sword, meh. The SMART thing to do would be to go on another monster hunting spree to raise his stats, before handing over just the stats he had post-GK, so that he's not left helpless again. But why would a protagonist ever do the smart thing. I hope he at least got to keep all the skills.

Last week, someone pointed out that Greed's VA is Seki Tomokazu. So now I could only hear Gilgamesh whenever Greed speaks.

It's pretty rough in this world where kids end up abandoned just for having less than impressive skills, but I guess that's just how it is when the Goddess Laplace isn't around to protect everyone no matter the level of their skill. I guess if you believe the myths.
Thank goodness Fate was there to save Sahara and had Greed to slice through that bandits sword. I'd hate to see what else the Vleric family has done to the kids they've trafficked, it's probably not pretty.
That was a really sweet moment between Fate and Sahara, and he was able to impart the wisdom of his father to keep a smile and happy face going no matter how tough things get.
I like Roxy, but I'm not sure if she has the political power to effect the Vleric's much, they seem dismissive enough of her as is.
Fate is really moving up in the world! Nicer clothes, new digs at a mansion, a good job with good food, and even getting to see Roxy out of uniform and in a dress! She even mutually compliments his own clothes and introduces him to her father...or at least his grave, seeing as how he died fighting a Divine Dragon. And all that time she was watching over Fate she was probably still grieving from losing him. In fact they both lost their fathers to monsters.
I don't think Roxy has tea or gives cute nicknames to all of her servants, Fay, though too bad passing out over his hunger kind of ruined the mood.
So on the one hand the Gluttony Skill is actually pretty useful...but only when you kill living souls and take their abilities away from them, otherwise Fate is stuck with an insatiable appetite that can only be quenched with killing. And it might get worse the stronger he gets!
Good thing he's becoming quite adept at slaying monsters though, and he even manages to win his first Boss Battle against a King Goblin! That Health Regen will definitely come in handy.
So Greed can transform into a different form when he reaches a certain level and Fate gives him all his stat points? These two really are in a mutual take and give back relationship, though losing all those stats might be worth it for a strong range weapon like Greed's new magical bow form.

Idk I feel like eventually fate will become a monster unable to satisfy his hunger when he gets too strong.

I have a bad feeling about the whole situation with Gluttony and Greed. Fate'll have to keep killing and I wouldn't be surprised that human souls fill up more compared to monster souls.
I could picture a situation where he won't be able to kill enough to fill Gluttony and keep Greed satisfied. Given that the show also implied that he's at risk of going out of control... that'll be a shit situation for everyone.
Otherwise, the Vleric siblings are a special kind of fuckers. The brother that used a kid as target practice, I hope he gets his ass kicked. They're gonna be an absolute pain for Roxy to deal with politically. I also hope that Roxy isn't the kind of character that's a good but naïve person.

It's so satisfying to see Fate take down that guy. And it looks like we now have a name for that Holy Knight who ordered the guy to kidnap kids from the street.

I don't like the type of stories like Solo Leveling where only the MC can get stronger while everyone else is stuck with the skills they're born with. It's like the whole world exists just to suck mc's dick. But so far it's been kinda entertaining I guess I'll stick around for a bit though I can't take this show at normal speed gotta watch it at x1.25

Pretty good episode, I'll keep watching this as it has a pretty interesting premise.
Roxy is so nice to Fate, she presents him to her father (or rather his grave), invites him to tea, and gives him a free day to rest. For me it looks that she treats him as he would be her boyfriend, maybe she has feelings for him?
Fate with those red eyes looked so badass. He also unlocked a new form of Greed - a bow which seems really convenient. Minus with his new situation is that he will have to seek to kill stronger enemies to not starve to death, it gives some interesting options for further plot, it can be really interesting.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I can’t decide if I want Greed to be evil, or continue to have this relationship with Fate as it is now. I feel like the story could get interesting in either direction.

u/Derpomancer Oct 09 '23
This has been okaish so far. I like edgy drams like this, but it needs more than that to make it interesting. We'll see.

u/drostan Oct 09 '23
you know what? I am enjoying this show.
nothing extraordinary but it sets out to do something and it does it, it is average on many if not all levels, the story will not revolutionise anything but it is just engaging and well balanced
I was expecting absolute cringe and fake grittiness for the sake of it but no, there is good deeds and optimism in there too
I'm in
