(First of all, let me mention that I never delete book reviews that normally discuss the plot. Except for the one time someone scolded this book without thinking, I have never deleted any comments. If you find that the comments are gone, it is most likely because the corresponding text has been modified. The paragraph may also be swallowed by the pointer, which sometimes happens.)
I have seen many readers discussing the issue of Hayata being promoted to six stars.
Just, how can I put it, I don’t want to praise this character, although it does create this kind of reading impression. I feel that there is still a gap in strength with the protagonist, and he doesn’t seem to have done anything crucial, but he is already the same star rating. .
In terms of strength, Hayata can achieve six stars after learning sword skills, but it is not a forced promotion.
I thought about it carefully, and everyone thinks that Hayata is not strong enough, mainly because I have not described in detail the plot of Hayata hunting alone. Most of the time, she plays as a shortstop, and she also has problems such as red blade fanaticism. , plus I emphasized her inexperience several times in previous chapters...
In fact, after the Lanlong mission, she had already obtained the qualification to apply for the six-star mission. At this time, she only needed to hunt a six-star monster, which would be a normal promotion to six-star.
For Hayata at this time, hunting a six-star monster may not be a sure thing, but it is at least a 50-50 chance to try.
As a member of the main attack team in the Laoshan Dragon mission, Hayata also showed his strength, but he was inexperienced and not stable enough, and his strength was not as stable as that of the veteran high-level hunters.
The guild's promotion of her was not a backdoor, she just happened to be a role model, so the ceremony was a little exaggerated.
And why should the guild set an example? In the timeline of this book that integrates multiple games, this is an era where geniuses and taboos appear frequently. In other words, it is a troubled time.
There is no need to think of the guild as too sinister, it is just a very common publicity need (and I will try to write as little as possible about this kind of setting in the future)
As for why Gordon is not promoted as a role model, on the one hand, it is an image issue (the difference between a beautiful woman and a tough guy), and on the other hand, it is a matter of attracting attention. It would be more awkward to describe it on the protagonist (personally).
Finally, there is the worry that the protagonist will be robbed of the limelight. This will not happen. After all, the protagonist will have fame, glory, and titles.
