Saliss is a mask that Onieva wears to challenge the system, being an overall menace, pulling pranks and being immune to consequences due to her rank as Named Adventurer. Saliss is a nudist around people she hates, or in regular public, but she will wear clothes when there’s people she likes that are uncomfortable by her lack of clothes.

That’s what I think at least

I think u misunderstood their comment greatly lol, they’re saying there aren’t many stories with interesting lgbt characters in general, and this story is an exception to it

You already made a lot for gay / bisexual characters, but then for the T everything goes off the roof… By making them the sexual deviant flashing their parts to others people without consent. That’s exactly everything wrong with the extremist part of the lgbt movement.

Same sex attraction. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it means anything other than hetero.

I always have and always will call bullshit on Laken gaining his class. There is no way some random guy from Earth, that seemingly had no interest in leadership (and has been rather bad at it overall, outside of the hero worship his people show him), suddenly believes himself to be an Emperor enough to become one. And, even if he somehow managed that, a class like Emperor should have still had other requirements to obtain, none of which Laken met.

Emperor Norton, who Laken bases his belief on, arguably didn’t become an Emperor just because he declared himself to be. He became one because other people recognized and believed in him enough to make it true. They believed that the currency he created value, and thus it did. Without other people, he would just be some random crazy person, not an Emperor.

Boston also declared the United States – a territory made up of multiple, distinct, smaller territories – as his empire. Which is exactly what an empire is, a region of distinct territories all under the control of one ruler.

Laken had none of that. Durene didn’t even really believe in him being an Emperor until after he obtained the class, and even then she was skeptical at first. His claim on Durene’s Cottage as a territory is also extremely dubious at best. Durene considered herself part of Riverfarm, so her cottage wouldn’t be a discrete territory. Even then, it is only a single territory, which does not make an empire.

Realistically speaking, Laken should have gotten a much more generic [Ruler] or [Monarch] class to begin with, and only obtained [Emperor] after he gained control of both Riverfarm and Windrest. And without his Aura of the Emperor skill – which is way, way overpowered for a level 1 skill, even for a class such as Emperor – he wouldn’t have been able to do much of anything. Most of Riverfarm would be dead from the avalanche, and he probably wouldn’t have been able to claim it.

Laken’s entire story is contrived nonsense.
