Comment by pettymint essence on How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 16

@pettymint essence I think it has more to do with the poison aspect.

@pettymint essence it's just a fantasy, chill and just read it

@Bluebunny1000 air would do nothing tho? then itd just turn into a toxic gas.

@inumaki oh sure we dont have anything like air in real life

@pettymint essence this manhwa is not real life.

@VoidEmperor but it uses elements from real life and applies them to the story. saying that "its fantasy" is just a lazy excuse. i understand that the point of the chapter was to establish the mc as intelligent and clever but that feeling wont get across to the readers if the explanation doesnt make sense.

we have weather elements in real life and we know how they work, the author introduced them in the story and did not provide any supplemental to make us think that these weather elements would act any different than they do in real life. why would you as a reader assume that they would function differently? you simply wouldnt because there was no incentive to do so.

i dont think poorly thought out scenes should be excused just because its a work of fiction, there was a clear goal as to what this chapter shouldve conveyed and it failed (for me at least) because of the nonsensical explanation. the mountain dogs are not relevant nor is the wind skill, either one of these things couldve been switched for something else that wouldve made more sense and nothing would change about the story. its impossible to write a smart character if the author is dumb as sh**.

@pettymint essence Ohh Really, Mister who-know-everything, have you thought about the fact that it is condensed air arrow with power imbued. You know this is a fiction, wherein everything is possible, if you have complains in this story then don't read it. You are not that significant at all, your presence is not needed at all. So you should not talk sh*t to the creator when you didn't have any stories created at all and also the author did a great job with the story flow. You clearly have a serious, boring life so fix yourself first and  also take a bath you personality stinks.

@pettymint essence  

I forgot to mention, Your name really suits youuu, How nice Petty mister. I may have gone too far but you should not talk to someone like that.

@Unknown  nah man thats something i addressed before tho, if the author intends for the air to work that way then they need to mention it. i agree that the air could work that way but it doesnt matter because the author didnt elaborate on that at all, leaving it up to the readers to come up with an explanation. the goal of this chapter was to cement the mc as smart and competent but if the explanation as to why it works is just "because it does" then im not inclined to think of him as smart. 
i mean this is just a random manhwa i dont expect bestseller type writing. i was kinda irked by this chapter cus i was enjoying it till now, but the failed indirect characterization just kinda threw me off.

props to you tho cus you were right on the money, i did stop reading at this exact chapter. btw my username is actually a reference to another novel :33 
also you are aware that there is no way the author could ever see this right? this was uploaded here from another site, presumably the translators, who is translating this (probably) illegaly.
