Only Sense Online

Glad to see I'm not the only one who wonders about Yun's personality.

He pretty much sees himself in these kids. Both he and the kids got dumped in the deep end, surrounded by experienced players bragging about power-leveling who don't actually provide any helpful information. Yun just got crap from siblings and friends about how he needed to scrap his build and start over, until he puzzled something useful out himself - then they started acting like they were helping him all along. The kids are in a similar situation, as they got into the game a little late and now the information they find about low-level play is how to power-level, and they're trying to follow a completely unhelpful "guide" that barely addresses the prep work necessary for that kind of power-leveling (including assistance from a bunch of other, stronger players, which most newbies aren't going to get). And hey, he wanted to be a support anyway and it is a really chill way to pass the time while, say, gathering materials and prepping stuff on the side.

I remember this arc. It's right about the time the story started becoming stale for me.
One of the major things that bothered me about this arc, in the LN, was the amount of time it took Yun to ask golem-girl about the process of creating golems, or at least inquiring more about the abilities of Alchemy and Synthesis.
You know. Actual game mechanics you can play with, instead of just walking around in circles to nanny two random brats? The story stopped exploring new things, and just kept hammering about the same things without end.
And from that point onward, the story became even worse, due to the sheer amount of battle-arcs that plagued the story. It's like the author just wanted to write a story about Yun's paladin-sister, instead of the non-gamer "I want to chill out" Yun.

Fucking Alpharad get your lazy ass out of there and start training your super smash bros on the nintendo gamecube with Hax

She'll nanny the guy from Fist of the North star who says "Omae wa mou...Shindeiru." =P

She'll nanny rookies now, nanny PK next, nanny the strongest players sgyrt. Not gonna stop there, nanny the npcs, nanny the mob bosses, then nanny even developers. Who knows, she might nanny the game itself.

Because some times it's worth it? I helped two guys in Everquest 2 reach a certain destination through me using group stealth. A friendship was formed and eventually we made a server top 3 raid guild together.

 

Another guy I helped became my friend who I talk to every day and have so for close to 13 years.

 

People seem to forget the social aspect of MMORPGs.

There's a difference between people who needs help and dumb kids who wants to be spoonfed everything and thinks they know everything and complain about everything

Roses are red

Violets are blue

She's called the "nanny" for a reason, you know.  It started with pets, but now it's kids!  Who knows what she'll nanny next!

And we finally have the two brats entering the scene. I'm looking forward to the PK Arc that will show up pretty soon.

Oh man, that's not an ominous combination of sentences or anything.

not the pound cake

NOT THE POUND CAKE!!!

cooking is "difficult" when you have to get the ingredients, setup, cooking process and then cleanup
Compare this to grabbing off the counter and paying for the end product. and you only want a 200g slice and not a few pounds worth.

Yeah, and then there's the actual cooking supplies, oven, pans, and mixing gear, plus in this game and most any isekai story, you don't have a high quality precise temperature controlled oven, you have to manage the heat yourself, by controlling the fuel usually. In Yun's case, I believe the beginner oven cost a hundred k, and runs on a bit of your mp channeled into it, so that's another "skill" you have to add to the calculations.

RIP cake

Maybe she's born it, maybe it's Maybell--medium-level custom gear?

Spoiler

Also, Japanese culture is a very "workaholic" culture, which is even more than the US. It's not that they don't know how to do it, it's because they don't have the time to do so. That's literally the entire basis and function of fast food.

True, these guys work for so long they even have relationship problems. People usually thing it's because of the whole Waifu thing. It ma have a part but it is not the main thing, they work way too much.

You can even see from their manga. Usual high school series, either the boy lives alone or they rarely see their parents.

Wouldn't saying "Behind you!" instead of running while shouting "Stop it!" be a better choice?

"You're not gonna trick us that easily!"

Please, it's a common trope. If someone thinks you're an enemy, nothing you say will make them listen to you. At best they'll do the opposite.
