i love barbmon. Barbatos speaks so eloquently and has such a neat and proper vocabulary that it sounds like everything he says is in cursive. Meanwhile THIS is Mammon.

hmm. there's something fascinating to me actually about how returnees are typically portrayed as arrogant in orv. I won't even say that's an inaccurate view of isekai protagonist characters, given my (limited) experience reading isekais, but orv does quite a lot of work in showing how tragically disposable certain types of stories are, and how upsetting that can be. it also does a lot to show power fantasies as being sympathetic things for people to experience. making returnees almost exclusively low-tier assholes means that orv misses out on what I think could be an interesting opportunity to portray a certain emotional experience. what if you think your story is the most important in the world, and the things you suffered were all justified in the end, only to discover that you have only ever been considered cheap entertainment and are ultimately disposable?

but there's an angle in orv's portrayal of Successful Returnees that makes it click well for me. the reason that jang hayoung is a failed returnee, and that this gang of low-tier assholes are successful, is because the successful ones have bought into the idea that everyone else's story is disposable, and can therefore be mere props in their paths to power, while jhy has not. her wall of impossible communication can block her from success in the system (initially) because it is what enables her to connect to others. once she learns how to leverage those connections she does of course start to transcend the system and become powerful, but initially, of course she can't Be an ideal returnee. because she does actually view other people as people and not as props. she doesn't even view herself as A Protagonist.

so, then. the ideal Protagonists who view their stories as uniquely special... it does make a good amount of sense for them to be immediately subjected to how little the system cares for them or their stories lol. become a prop in someone else's story posthaste! become an obstacle!
