    he need to reassess his cheats properly :facepalm::facepalm::blobjoy::blobjoy:

    After angrily shovelling for quite some time, it had become a huge pit rather than a drainage line.

    "Of course he still had to satisfy that terrifying appetite of the Drake’s, so he knew that his wealth won’t last that very long."

    Called it, hahahaha

    I thought of a possible dragon subspecie that corresponds to Fire...
    Salamander :blobdevil:

    With that all four elements are complete... avatar Sunhyuk of the fire nation (because dragon rider) starts his story :blobsmilehappyeyes:


    I am guessing he is gonna make Goldie dig its own trench next time... might help with the element dominance... :blobthinkingsmirk:

    Hmm so I wonder if the training the fire dragon subspecie is including .... BBQ it or dip it in hot lava :confused:

    Since he pretty much buried the drake alive in this chapter :unsure:

    Prologue: I really hope he’s not planning to wield a sword or other melee weapon from the back of a dragon. I always find that more than a little ridiculous. Honestly, even a bow isn’t really a good idea due to all the wind turbulence. You basically have to be a mage for it to make any sense at all, and even then, you’re definitely an inferior mage to the dragon, so what exactly are you bringing to the table in this partnership other than your negligible weight? Hopefully, this series will have a good answer to this question.

    C1: The translation could definitely use another pass from the proofreader.

    No one seems to mind having been kidnapped and forced to become soldiers. It’s like it hasn’t even occurred to them that they’ll have to kill people that they have no reason to kill.

    C5: Why don’t the locals know about the +6 stats thing? They knew what a dragon rider was right away, so they should be familiar with the class. Even if that wasn’t the case, it was clear that his class was at least of Advanced rank. That being the case, even if his skills were useless, the fact that he could be trained in the skills of a Knight or similar, should have meant that they’d be willing to invest the extra time and energy into him based on that and his abnormal stat growth alone. Even if his skills never surpassed those of the natives, his excessively high stats would more than make up the difference.

    C6: Why does no one resent having been kidnapped? No one has even brought it up. It makes no sense.

    C7: He should tell the other people from Earth about this. Maybe they have skills that they could add to their status menus too.

    C9: I wonder if he’ll be able to trust her enough to ask about magic. He should probably be able to cast a few low level wind attributed spells at the very least.

    C11: It’s too bad that he didn’t get a chance to ask her about magic. Though, it probably wouldn’t have been safe to do so.

    C12: That skill jump seems a bit too extreme…

    C14: How did his spearmanship get downgraded to Basic?

    He’s an irresponsible rider. It’s not just him who’s tired after all that training. His horse is too. Much more so than him really since she doesn’t have his cheat class or super high stats.

    C15: I wonder if he’ll be able to share his power across the whole squad at some point. Even if he can’t sharpen their weapons, just reducing air resistance should dramatically improve their speed and thus, their damage.

    C16: Well, that happened sooner than I expected.

    I really wish that this series would stick to first or third person. Constantly changing, sometimes within the same sentence, is as jarring as it is inept.

    C17: Sounds like they should also train without him. After all, it wouldn’t be good to get too used to having such low air resistance.

    C18: What happens to the people charging behind him when he redirects the arrows? Wouldn’t they be hit by them?

    C19: Why wouldn’t they have waited and attacked an hour or so later so that everyone would be setting up camp rather than on their horses and ready to fight?

    C23: They’ve said over and over that they’ve been riding since almost before they could walk. Who the heck did he think they were if not nobles?

    That aside, how was he or Fredrick expecting to keep this a secret anyway? The difference in results was simply far too exaggerated. Originally, I thought they had a plan, but it’s harder to respect either of them now that I know they didn’t.

    C24: So, they kidnap ordinary people from a very peaceful society, shove weapons into their hands, force them onto battlefields that have no connection to them whatsoever, and then they’re angry because their victims aren’t super soldiers sweeping away all the nation’s enemies before them? I really hope the MC crushes this country into meat paste in the future. It’s absolutely what they deserve :/

    I really hope she doesn’t become a romantic interest, but I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t happen.

    C25: Maybe it’s different in Korea, but where I live, you don’t need to be rich to learn horse riding when young. You just need to grow up on a farm that has horses. True, the quality of the horses won’t be super high, but it would still be enough to learn how to ride from an early age.

    C26: I’d been wondering if he’d get any other elements, but now it’s basically set in stone. I wonder which one he’ll get next, and if he’ll earn it on his own or have it gifted to him like Wind was.

    Well, that was an a**hole thing to do. He’s destroying her reputation for no good reason, which will definitely affect her ability to command, and may affect her personal confidence and her magical abilities, any of which could lead to her death in the coming battle. And yet, he’s continuing to do it and doesn’t feel a shred of guilt about it. Did she murder his parents or something? No? She was just slightly rude to him? She dared to have confidence in herself without his approval? I guess that's a good enough reason to destroy her reputation and negatively impact her odds of survival; if you’re a psychotic a**hole or a brain dead moron that is.

    C30: How is that the greatest in history? People are awarded noble titles numerous times throughout the history of any nation that has nobility. I won’t say it’s common, but it’s definitely not unique.

    Also, the MC has been corrupted by porn if he’s that convinced that women have to be young to be pretty. It’s not like she was old enough to be his grandmother or something.

    C31: That’s not the royalty paying their debt to him. It’s them putting a collar on him. There’s a fairly major difference, even if it is only in the attitudes of the giver and the recipient.

    This seems like an excellent opportunity for him to simply leave and never come back. I’m kinda doubting that he will though.

    C32: I was wondering about that. It seemed odd that they hadn’t conquered the world if they were the only ones capable of summoning. Still, now I’m hoping that he’ll conquer the world and forcibly erase all knowledge pertaining to the method of summoning.

    C33: If kidnapping people from our world is so common, then why are they still in the technological dark ages? Shouldn’t they at least have trains?

    Why does seeing such abject poverty make him think, “Hmm, maybe I should stay in the army and continue to serve the oppressive regime that stole everything from me and severely mistreats its own populace out of greed and callousness”?

    C34: That’ll teach him to show off in front of a woman he’s actively trying to avoid having a relationship with ;)

    C35: Shouldn’t his wind elemental be strong enough to just lift him the rest of the way up the mountain? It should have taken at least that much strength to pick up the yetis and throw them after all.

    C38: If his reason for staying is the food bill, then honestly, he’s better off taking the royalty’s offer. He’ll have a much higher income. Also, he’ll likely have a much easier time of overthrowing the government and slaughtering the royal family. Not that he would, but he really, really should want to.

    C43: Isn’t the question mark the drake’s name? That’s what it is for the elemental.

    C46: It’d be funny if he asked the king to cover his mounts’ food bills.

    That aside, why does he not feel any form of resentment towards the royalty for kidnapping him? It’s never even been brought up. It makes no sense at all and it’s destroying my ability to suspend my disbelief and enjoy this series. It’s a gargantuan plot hole, and worst of all, it could have been plugged easily with 1-2 sentences in the first chapter.

    C47: I wonder if he’ll need to tame another drake for his next attribute, or if it’ll be something else. Also curious if he’ll ask his elementalist friend about how to find an earth elemental to contract.

    C48: Why did his magic resistance go down?

    C49: Since he overcame the first wind bottleneck by forcefully dispersing his wind aura, shouldn’t he try to get the drake to do something similar?

    Long lance. Like, 10 meters lance. You imperial slaves, work hard to convert it to feet.

    An answer to the question of why people haven't rebelled against the kingdom:
    The king doesn't let them have a chance to do so.
    Remember, it was immediately into training for their class awakening, then dragged into the caste system. Once at the next level of training, the person faces persecution at the hands of the natives, jealous of the outsider's abilities. After that, the outsider must fight in wars, as required by the king, until he or she can retire or dies.

    Basically, the king keeps the outsiders too busy with war, the natives, and training till any negative emotions or will to receive compensation has left.

    As for war leveling the knight up, faster, then training. I disagree, due to how the first couple of chapters demonstrated that:
    1. Skills trump attribute points (to a certain extent)
    2. Constant training enables the development of personal skills
    3. Finally, what brings the knight experience hasn't been well defined. It may not be necessary to kill to level up, or if killing brings additional experience over training and experimenting.

    Theory on the earth element:
    Since most of the knight's abilities center around domination and control, then he must dominate the drake enough, to force the drake to give him the earth element domination ability. Doing so, probably, will break the level limit and let him max it out.

    Reason being, his wind element domination came from his future mount (possibly wife), who bestowed it onto him. Stands to reason that the dragon has the wind element domination at max level and evolution, and wishes for her rider to be as strong as her.

    I wasn't asking why they didn't rebel. It's pretty obvious that they aren't strong enough to. I was asking why they didn't feel any resentment, or any desire to rebel. I mean sure, some people will be much happier being the king's pampered slaves, but not everyone is pampered, and not everyone is happy being a slave, no matter how nice the collar. Since the MC was treated like unwelcome trash for the majority of his time in this world, and is clearly still attached to his home world, it just strikes me as wrong that he doesn't feel like blaming anyone even when there is clearly someone to blame.

    Or was that not directed at me? I didn't say anything about leveling speeds, but neither did anyone else, so I'm not sure.

    part of it is practical: not autonomous from the throne, not strong enough to establish yourself, etc.

    Another part is the horrors of life for that time period. If you cannot get food for the day, then blaming the kingdom doesn't solve the problem.

    Final part, each person see him or her self as a hero, the savior of the world.

    So, raging against the kingdom does not help the knight in any way. The best revenge you could get, is to be necessary to the kingdom, but autonomous from the king.

    Those are reasons for putting animosity aside, not reasons for not feeling it in the first place. Yes, some people are deluding themselves that they're protagonists in a game world, but not everyone, and certainly not the MC. So why haven't any of them felt resentment yet? Why haven't any of them thought, "I hate those f'ing royal b*****ds that stole everything from me"? Even if they want to get all pragmatic about it afterward, there's no reason for them to have never felt this extremely normal human emotion first. Well, not unless the summoning ritual did something to their minds, but there's never been any indication that that was the case, so the odds of it being bad writing are much, much higher.

    Also, that revenge isn't any good at all. It incorrectly assumes that the nobles wouldn't have summoned anyone if they had been running the country, or that it's possible to be independent from the king without being dependent on the nobles, while still remaining within the country and without being stronger than any ten superhumans put together. And it also ignores the fact that the true best revenge is a full blown purge of the aristocracy of every country and the destruction of absolutely anything or anyone related to summoning people from other worlds, which would be possible at around the same time as true independence from the king and the nobles.
