Again. He apologizes again to the person giving him trauma. I can’t decide if I’m more upset with the abuser, or the victim who keeps thanking people for hurting him??? Like??? What kind of message is that?

What is with this fixation on inequality? Everyone is different! Why is Sal measuring whether someone else’s suffering is worse than his? Who cares? Other people suffering doesn’t detract from the fact he SUFFERS TOO. It’s not measuring contest of who suffers more. And just because people suffer more doesn’t mean they are right or have the right to hurt others!!

The double standard. “You shouldn’t want to hurt those who hurt you” but you think stripping people down naked outside of their will in front of thousands doesn’t hurt? But that’s okay cause you were mad? I agree those guys should have been punished. Maybe even beat up. But the horror of Sal being controlled was just as much horror for them. Like… *sigh* the morals are lowwww.

Okay sure Upgrade, since we are helping people overcome their feelings of inadequacy, and Sal is making you feel inadequate, I think it’s in your best interest to take on the next calamity solo. No ifs, ands, or buts, or you lose Sal as a mentee and friend. That’s good friendship right? Right?! Screw her. What is wrong with this authors worldview?

Omg… he’s an idiot. Sal is LEGIT an idiot. But like even an idiot can see this isn’t a good idea. This book is like the best idea and plot ever, filled in with the stupidest, vile, manipulative, straight up evil characters ever. I’m… I’m not sure how to feel about it anymore…

Why is Nero’s daughter an aspiring villain? I thought this was a hero academy? Wtf is wrong with all of these people?! The manipulation and forceful “helping” without consent?… does the author know the morals they are spouting right now seem REALLY suss? Like wtf? “Oh it’s okay to traumatize people if in your heart you know that’s what’s best for them”… that’s what I’m hearing right now.

I dislike all of the so called “adults”. I also dislike this whole narrative surrounding what they basically forced on him as ‘immersion therapy’. It’s not even that I disagree that this is what he needed. But the WAY the went about it? All respect gone.

*sigh* Screw Upgrade. I officially dislike her.

This is absolute BS. I had so much respect for Upgrade up until this point. I almost kind of wish Sal would get injured or die just so she can see how asinine this was. I can tell the narrative is going to turn this forceful event into a “good thing” and Sal will admit she was correct, but the fact remains that it’s stupid, and now I have another character I’ve lost respect for *sigh*
