I was reading his hesitation as reflecting our reality and its values.
One has to have permission prior to using experimental procedures.
One has to have permission to do damn near anything to avoid lawsuit for malpractice.
If a life is saved as a result of treatment, but there's a side effect of the treatment that endures... folks will prosecute concerning that side effect totally ignoring that the individual would have died without said treatment.

He has memories of an advanced civilization; this stuff is part and partial of advanced civilizations.
Since he isn't living in an advanced civilization ... mob justice has always been a thing.

Since they don't know of an effective treatment, those who survive, survive.
They are familiar with what changes might be there with those who survive.
If he treats her and she survives, what proof is there that it was due to his action unless the odds of survival are that bad?
If the survival odds are that good, then if a side effect kicks in some would be sure to argue that she'd have survived and that his action caused her to be worse than if he'd left well enough alone.

All of which is well and good, but my take based upon what we've been shown in-story is that there was ample justification for believing she wouldn't survive without his treatment.
Definitely that he didn't believe she would survive without his treatment, which is why I considered his hesitation the stupidest thing ever.
Yes, it's nice that he understands all of these ethical considerations, but if he believes she will die without proper treatment... at least start moving toward her house while mulling over all of this stuff.
Or be shown packing the required materials for transport, something other than standing around stroking his chin while pondering ethics.

@Planguy said in Young Lady Albert Is Courting Disaster (Manga) Vol 2 Discussion:

I thought Mary's issue was that she was thinking only in terms of her own desires, rather then thinking what would be best for Adi. Ignoring the fact that for Adi, as much as he likes his comforts, the thing he will always prioritize is staying by Mary's side.

But in Mary's mind just taking it for granted that she can have Adi by her side is her ignoring his agency and acting like Game Mary.

Um.
It's rather different, I'd think.

Reincarnate Gamer Girl is stressing partly because the "her" who is living in game world is so comfortable with Adi that she can't imagine being away from him.
And the Game Fan knows that Adi isn't there when she's exiled.
And she wants him happy, and thinks that the Adi Route would make him such.

If she was aiming for an end where she was with Adi, she'd be aiming at something other than her in-game fate, and she knows that.

There are reasons she hasn't revealed for why she's aiming at the exile ending.
Reasons which override her desire to be with Adi.

Yes, acting like Game Mary denies his agency, because acting like Game Mary is supposed to result in his not being with her, and he just made it very clear that he wants to be with her.
Truth to tell, she'd like it if he were, but she doesn't see it as being an option given stuff she hasn't revealed concerning what happens if a different route is travelled from the one she's aiming toward; my presumption is that this is the least awful ending in canon, and she truly believes the Spirit of the Game exists and will force things to result in a canonical ending.

I just started reading this, but is anyone else having the contents of chapter 4 show up where there should be chapter 3? I've checked my pc and my phone to double check but it's all the same. I don't know if this is a recent error that showed up but I'm just surprised no ones mentioned it until now...

EDIT: Ok it's working again...

Volume 9 - Chapter 3:

Page 6 ► Bottom-left Box ► TREAT THESE O’LTROMEAN DOGS TO ALL THE ► It should be O’LTORMEAN?

Good luck, Gilbert Noor!

@kuali I loved the page-and-a-half of ojousama laughter, and Aurelia’s reaction to being handed the rare Agnès Vivier book. :)

Oddly I prefer this scene in the light novel, which is odd because I've thought every other scene in the manga has been better than the LN.

Maybe it is because this was really the only scene I liked in the light novel.

Was legit the first thing that came to mind when he stuck his asshole brother down. Even after all that training and her putting her faith in him, I'm betting he doesn't win that match if Gain hadn't committed the cardinal sin of implying he'd so much as hurt a single hair on Mia's head.

Well, the series just went full horror guro with the most recent part. Even more so than I'd pictured in my head while reading it!

I have been absolutely devouring Otome Isekai and even though this isn't really in that genre, I appreciate the humor already. OML, I can't wait to read more.

Volume 1 - Chapter 6:

Page 8 ► Top-right Box ► AND HE TOOK THE G1UILD’S OPERATING FUNDS WITH HIM. ► It should be GUILD’S.

something about dwarves

As in Diggy Diggy Hole?

Oh Sara and Elena look nice on the cover...
Ah... yea THAT part. It's going to be fun times for Ajira: Monster Hunter.

Well, didn't see that coming. Throws off the expected final of Kei-Aikido girl too. Though we're still a long ways off from reaching Killing Bites levels of unpredictability.

Also, I don't hate old Kei but I really do hate Rin, so she better go down soon.

@aZaphos said in Doll-Kara Vol 4 Discussion:

I think I'm still kind of following the plot but there are so many weird threads that I've lost track of what the emotional stakes are ...

Is there a good ending that the characters are fighting for at this point? We have the old man soul trying to communicate through fists with spirit Kei, but cat has told us that the best case is that the old man keeps control of a body that he doesn't really want and spirit Kei is doomed to eternal soul prison ...

Yeah, there was the whole thing in Maria Yuki's first appearance where she seemed like some evil villain that wanted to manipulate Kei in some way, and now she's basically turned into just a regular promoter.

@mortcs My guess is a non-combatant coming to deliver a message or warning to our bearelf.

Either that or the other transfers have run totally amok and the world's in flames.
