First and moremost: Something new from jellytea! ^.^/
"[Appraisal] is vital in a world of sword and magic. To understand the unknown on adventures, distinguish the value of treasures one finds, and gather information of one’s surroundings as one explores, a skill that grants its user details and knowledge about what they are looking at is necessary."
- I doesn't really need to be [Appraisal] especially. [Analyse],[Discern],[Reseacher], maybe even [Copy] or a for a more special usage gauged skill like [Biologist] or even more concise [Herbalist] would work just as well. There seldom is a "be all to end all solution". And even if one is available, it's probably not widely so.
"Treasure appraisers could determine an appropriate grade and value of the various mysterious items that could be find in the labyrinths and dungeons littered around the land. Travelling appraisers could distinguish poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms and herbs, making it easier to survive or find medicinal herbs. Ruin researcher appraisers could even use the skill to uncover secret passages and solve ancient puzzles."
- Looks like I was a little premature with my previous demur, I will keep it though.
This chapter really reminded me of the Isekai Novel "Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill".
We've a main character that uses [Appraisal] on anything and everything and she happens to have a upbeat and cute Familiar named Fel.
Granted, in "CCiAWwmAS" the unbeat cute part falls to a slime familiar named Sui and the "Fel" in question is a Fenrir - and with that far removed from Felis as a Fairy - so it is different yet still close.
Editing Statuses is differently absurd than having access to a modern-day Online Supermarket(just groceries though and "delivery" ends up instantly in the Mokuhda's (the MC) Item Box) in a Middleage Fantasy World, I would say it's way more powerful.
It none the less reminded me of that story.
I am a little sad that the Chapters are going to be independent of one another as if we stayed with Selina and Felis more Multisize(which I always appreciate)would be pretty much guaranteed.
If I were to vaguely guess the contents of future chapters I would say at least one of the other characters in possession of this utterly broken skill combo made themselves an absolute montrosity. As you can easily edit up your own Level and/or height. Maybe even "share" a little with your confidants or "grant" something to your subordinates.
Author's Response:
You've got a good grasp of how I decided to build the world of the story. I'm familiar with the isekai novel you mentioned though I haven't read much of it. It's isekai novels in the first place that made me want to try an idea like this.
I honestly have no idea what different chapter ideas I am wanting to write yet which is why I said each chapter is fairly independent. I don't really know if I plan to use the multi-size master and fairy again yet. But you are absolutely right that future chapters will end up showing more broken aspects of the skill with users who've used it enough to master it.
