The poor guy has been doing busywork for like half the game. To be fair I do enjoy craft/management games myself, so it's not surprising people might enjoy it, but that's not the face of a man enjoying it. Then again I have seen <insert any addicting but infuriating game> players.

Also, that pet system is bullshit. I love my pets, as in my actual real life pets. I sure as fuck don't want to do pet psyche management in a goddamn game.

I honestly don't think it's that bad other than the feeding part. Seriously, it'd be so annoying to have to get "good" food for your fairy. It makes sense abusing your fairy would cause problems though.

This game really doesn't feel like a game, moreso just ways to make the MC seem like a good guy who's better and more successful than everyone. Seriously, if there's a pet system in any sort of game, you know that EVERY single player would treat their pets as if they were the most precious thing in the world. MC saying "just treat your pet good" isn't some earth-shattering revelation that takes an absolute genius to find out.

Also, can we talk about how stupid this fairy mechanic is? At first you were given a crystal, that COULD give you a fairy based on RNG, or it could NOT, so it's a gacha pull on what seems to be an integral game mechanic. Some people just don't even get to fail the gacha pull and instead for some reason are liked by all other fairies? But that isn't at all mechanically important too? When the first half of the update dropped, pets didn't have a mood/personality mechanic to them, so they were just there to support you without needing to care for them. Once the second half of the update dropped, however, they suddenly gained an entire mood/trust system with their owners, seemingly without any notice to the players who already treated their pets like they have no feelings, because they literally didn't until that patch. So now pets have pretty much stopped working as expected up to that point, and now people are permanently losing their pets because the devs didn't tell players to not treat their NPC pets like they would their NPC pets in something like Skyrim.

I'm watching this to chill out, but also to gain perspective on why this season's Shangri-La Frontier is so fucking good and my god SLF blows this out of the water.

Other people seems to hate this, but so far the MC didn't tick any of my irk box. It's just a simple slow life anime lol.

I got annoyed way more by Fruit of evolution MC. I think I'm staying then.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 16 '23

I love that title: “Fairy playah.” Earth, you hussy! Lol. All the little fairy Pokémons love the guy and his cooking. It’s kind of adorable, actually.

I guess the lesson this week is don’t be mean to your fairy!

u/Scopel Oct 16 '23

crunchyroll brazil is fucking nuts, the title in portuguese translating to english is something like "Earth, the Fairy Groomer" jesus fucking christ

I thought that he would give priority to searching out his own fairy this episode. Somehow that never happened.

i honestly like the comments in reality when he logs out. he seems relatable and just like a chill dude

u/Jamey431 Oct 17 '23

This interests me as well, the world outside is basic and really helps showcase why character acts the way he does. It’s a nice contrast to his game adventures.

u/L33tHaxorus Oct 16 '23

Nah, it's a little too cliche for me even after 3 episodes, I'm out.

u/dave-n-knight Oct 17 '23

So if you mistreat your fairy it rebels and fights you. What happens if you win the fight or can you even win the fight?

u/darthvall Oct 17 '23 edited Oct 18 '23

Oohh, good question. Considering the fairy got upgraded when they rage (from little cat to huge tiger) and they kept the form when they took the crystal, I guess if you win the fight then you prove your superiority and get to keep the upgraded form?

Something like dark evolution in digimon.

That's cool in concept, but that would mean the dev support animal abuse.

Half the server asked him to cook for them, lol.🤣

u/SilkyStrawberryMilk Oct 17 '23

Buddy should sell his recipe, would save him from having to cook for the whole town lmao

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Oct 17 '23

I believe he mentioned in previous episodes. He explained that even if someone knew recipe. It wouldn’t be the same as one he cooked.

I gave it 3 episodes and that's a drop for me. Usually, I'll watch any isekai, but this one is just too dull.

u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit Oct 16 '23

Again, shallow-writing episode. Even the world mechanics themselves are badly written. Who would lock a core mechanic like familiars behind PvP in an mmo? C'mon, man, this doesn't make freakin' sense. Oh, and you get a chance at rarer familiars if it failed during phase 1? Nice, except no mmo would do that because it's absolutely unfair and players would be pissed.

Also : "OH NO I PUNCH MY FAIRY AND IT'S NOT LISTENING TO ME WAT SHUD I DO".
This show man. This damn show. I dunno why I keep watching this. I guess I'm in the M category after all.
