Got to find out more about Bonkers' past and honestly, I think he'll make a fine hunter if he tries and passes. Hopefully.

at this point, all other character has better developed than MC.

Best chapter in awhile, I liked the first half dealing with how good their strategy is and why it's working, as well as the differences between Debonair & Grimm.

The second half on Bonkers backstory, it was okay. I am glad that Bonkers' backstory was a bit more graphic than I expected, in that it actually lead to someone out right dying. But the moments around it, the story speech, Velou's declaration at the end, all felt a bit too generic for me.

Well this chapter was Bonkers.

But honestly Bonkers had good backstory I hope we will learn what happened to his family.

Considering how this was the second time when someone directly made comparison to "the story" I think author is making Velou generic on purpose.

''If life is like a story.. then I'm just a random extra at best'' - Bonkers
Never thought I could relate with a random sidecharacter. Backstory was pretty interesting.

Velou's talk no jutsu worked once again.

I liked the Bonker flashback, wonder if we're going to see the guy again that screwed him.

Bonkers is a good lad. Always hate the kind of people that takes advantage of others kindness. The Ironworks is just free real estate for him though lmao.

I like the difference between Debonair and Grimm, one is holding back and the other one is gonna break a leg literally.

Lol, the author kinda talked about his manga situation through Velou at the end. Bonkers backstory wasn't bad btw.

Bonkers has a pretty messed up past, getting punished for his generosity by being pushed out onto the run and ruining his family name. So he hasn't actually failed each year, just done it on purpose to keep getting free food/board for 6 months. I feel like he's a good guy though, and Velou clearly sees it too.

We're seeing that theming of "stories" again though, with Bonkers calling himself "an extra" in the story. I feel this seems like it'll be an ultimate theme of this manga, the idea of stories being rewritten and forced to change, essentially a retooling of destiny in this case. I wonder if it'll ultimately culminate in Velou rejecting whatever destiny is written for him in his story that the mayor has made for him.

I can see the argument of Velou being kind of generic hero, but I find that fine since it's largely used to supplement the stories of those around him. Plus, given the whole "story" idea I feel that might even be intentional, that Velou was "made" to be the perfect hero and could maybe break free of that?

One of the worst things a person can do is taking advantage of someone else's kindness.. Bonkers seems like such a pure hearted dude

That backstory was a mess and why the hell did he just start blabbing about it for no reason? Nobody fucking asked him and he didn't have to give his whole life sob story away when he's just looking for free room and board. I don't like how the characters talk about themselves like they're in a story.
