I am just so very tired of the cliche of a protagonist having selective inability to communicate and every other character being too s*upid to put two and two together. Like, reading LN you'd think Japanese has to be the shittiest language on the planet since literally anything the MC says can be interpreted as basically being a threat. "Hello" should not be misinterpreted as "I'm going to kill you". That's not how the language works. No stretch of the imagination makes that work. It'd be like in English if someone said "Yo" and everyone around decided they were trying to say "You're going to die now". The author could have made undead unable to speak or something, but no, the protagonist is just so darn bad at talking he can't explain that he's not hostile to anyone and everyone always assumes he's a mindless monster. Repeat ad-nauseam. It's become as generic and annoying as using magical age-rules to excuse lo*icons, and is just so lazy.And then there's the perspectives. We get it, others see him as a powerful monster, we don't need different POVs for every interaction.Real shame because the translation quality is good and the concept otherwise would be fun (if not particularly unique).
