does bringing him in the state he was in when he killed the last royal hunter along with all his items intact give him infinite ammo for his weapons since they would return to the state they were in when he was first sent to equestria?
I noticed that I head read a couple of chapters, but never continued on or marked it for future reading. Decided to look into why that is, and immediately found it.
Dan took a moment to chew his food this time before giving his response “When you think about it Princess, what other choice do I have?” Seeing her confused look he continued. “I’m basically a being from another dimension or world, stuck in another world I do not know, Haven’t the first clue how things work here, am more than likely gonna be seen as some freak or monster, and I’m all alone here.” he shrugged. “I don’t think it will be as simple to live here as it would’ve been in my world.”
...This is the most forced way of trying to avoid the problem of "these people have just kidnapped me and are now forcing me to do their bidding" I can think of, especially since the issue is outright spotlighted ("...we find it strange you haven’t made any attempt to refuse this task. We honestly thought thou would resist more than this.") and that lampshade was used as the answer. Yes, there are actually other options here, and not ones the require some great "survivalist" mindset. He has a gun. He is a hunter. It's not hard to just go out into the woods and survive like that. Will it suck? Yeah. Still a better option than just "well, shit, these people just kidnapped me and are now forcing me to do their bidding... Well I might as well go along with it because it might inconvenience me to have to try living another way, even if it means that I will have to risk my life for these people or get killed, defeating the entire reason of going along with them in the first place. Who cares if they kidnapped me and ensured that I would never be able to see my friends or family again. It's not like any of that matters. Why should I be angry at them at all?"
This whole issue just torpedoes any suspension of disbelief I had, and frankly makes me not want to read further. ANY kind of push back would make this whole thing go over easier. Instead, the main character is a pushover because... uh.... plot from what I can tell, or the author wants the MC to be a Vulcan and be able to think only in terms of logic when any normal person would react in some emotional way. And before the "it hasn't sunk in yet" or "he is in shock" is used for rebuttal, if he was in shock or denial, he wouldn't be thinking logically. The explanation used is one of a logical thought process, of thinking things through (let's not even touch him actually feeling bad for Celestia, that's just more evidence of not being in shock or denial). Let's not even get started on the five stages of grief, since his thought process shows that he doesn't seem to give a damn about friends or family... Whether you like it or not, this conflict is a MAJOR point and needs to actually be addressed, not hand-waved away like it currently is.
To be honest, I WANT to like this story. It has a very interesting premise, but the MC just kills all interest. "Oh, hey, these people want me to risk my life to protect them, and I'll do it. Who cares if I didn't ask for this and that they ensured that I will never get to see my friends and family again." "Here's this bitch attacking me and blaming me for all of her issues. That's fine, who cares that she was the one that allowed all of this to happen. Let's just ignore the detail that if she didn't let Aegis do this, I wouldn't be here and she would still have her lover." Neither of those are the reactions of a human. They are the reaction of a machine that doesn't grasp what emotions are. No one acts this way. Does the MC need to be wildly emotional, dropping to the floor balling his eyes out or go on a murderous rampage killing everyone he can? No, but no person will be as emotionally dead during this situation as the MC.
Without changing a whole lot, the best way to fix this, imho, would be to make the MC emotionally numb. After being told he can never go home, boom, emotionally numb and just gets dragged along by momentum. Have him answer things with one or two word responses, nothing detailed, nothing thought out, especially nothing rational, and outright ignore Blueballs. Only after he gets to his room, lays on the bed and stares at the ceiling for a bit, does a single tear escape his eyes.
TL;DR: MC is an emotionless robotic doormat, not a person, and that outright murders all interest in an otherwise interesting story.
Had my attention then Blueblood happen
Maybe I don't want to. XD
You have an extra quotation mark there and I'm not sure what that second sentence was supposed to say.
So far I'm enjoying the story.
If I was him i'd be PISSED!!! Xd
So if Aegis was a human how did he become a pony at times?

Isn’t THAT a curious question?
When he become pony?
cant even try to force myself to read this bullshit
