Comment by Prinzinc on A Barbarian’s Adventure in a Fantasy World - Chapter 50

@Prinzinc  we already saw that dying multiple times doesn't do anything to them, mentally speaking

@Blaze True, which is why I prefaced it with, "If this was the real world...".

It's good when stories reflect the real world to an extent and then explain the areas where they differ.  When it neither reflects the real world nor explains why it doesn't, that's almost always a failure in storytelling.

@Prinzinc to be fair it's shown that they "reset" to before they die rather than just regenerating. If it can even reset mana then it's easy to assume it resets their mental state.

@Santiago Torrez Segarra Apparently not always. The wizard isn't resetting like that, neither did the princess.

@Prinzinc it resets their mental state, not memories. Their conscious minds remember but their bodies don't carry the trauma

@Santiago Torrez Segarra    How do you know that?

@Prinzinc see the chapter above?

@Prinzinc ok that might have come out wrong, I meant that it's what I concluded from reading the chapter

@Santiago Torrez Segarra    I mean, fair enough, but I would conclude the opposite considering that the princess seemed to carry over her mental state when she woke up and the wizard seemed to carry over his mental state as soon as he regenerated his head.

@Prinzinc the issue with those cases is that the cause of the problem wasn't the death itself. With the princess the trauma came from learning what she was, so even if she was reset the memories would just reestablish the trauma immediately. For the wizard on the other hand, he was in active combat and needed to keep his guard up rather than simply being traumatized by losing his head.
