Otaku Witch

Yae Miko detailed the explanation, and the aura on her usually cheerful demeanor turned somewhat intimidating as she spoke about this.

And after Dorothy listened to all of it, she was left speechless for a moment.

Tsk, one must say, as expected of the Japanese witches who live a good life, this is truly twisted and they certainly know how to play.

Of course, this type of vine woman is not exclusive to Japan; the outside Witch World has them too, and they are repeatedly difficult to ban, with some even willingly choosing to become such vine women.

After all, from a purely benefits-oriented perspective, this is indeed a favorable selection, much like animal breeding where the more you pair, the higher quality breeds you produce.

However, from a human rights standpoint, this is a very sad thing, as a human life shouldn't exist solely for the purpose of reproduction.

The vine women with top-tier talents may seem beautiful, but that's not entirely true. Talents and specialties aren't necessarily better the higher they go; SSR and SR grade talents and specialties are certainly rare and powerful, but sometimes R and N grade lower-tier talents and specialties are even more crucial.

After all, even a game character can't rely solely on sure-kill techniques without basic attacks and minor skills.

Moreover, a mature and well-rounded talent specialty template often requires just one or two high-level talents as the core, and those perfectly matched talent specialty templates are much stronger than an all-SSR fantasy template that fights independently.

Because personal energy has limits, each SSR-level talent represents a path enough to reach the pinnacle, requiring a witch's entire lifetime to fully explore. Under such circumstances, blindly pursuing more without seeking mastery is actually going astray.

While everyone knows "I want it all" is certainly good, most people don't have the capital to possess everything. The result of wanting it all often leads to losing it all, ultimately achieving nothing.

A snake that desires to swallow an elephant will only end up burst.

Therefore, vine women who specifically evolve for high-level talent specialties are nothing more than pretty ornamental dolls with good-looking panel attributes. Originally outstanding in talent, they should have their own wonderful lives, better contributing to the Witch World, but now they're wasting talents to become suitable mothers, which is very sad.

Not to mention, the evolution of high-level talent specialties requires vast Magic Power reserves. If those vine women channel all their Magic Power into evolving talent specialties, their personal strength will inevitably suffer, and a witch not becoming a Great Witch has a lifespan of around a thousand years.

Undoubtedly, forcing someone to become a vine woman is very much against human rights, and under the rule of The Third King, at least on the surface, the Witch World is a society where all witches are equal, so such human rights violations are naturally illegal.

In the Judgment Court's rules, it's often the case that those caught maliciously cultivating such vine women can be executed without mercy.

However, rules are rules, and implementing them is actually very difficult, as some vine women are not forced but choose voluntarily.

There's always a brave man under the great reward; those Witch Noble Families can go to any length for an outstanding heir. They need vine women as mothers while, similarly, there are always some geniuses unwilling to strive, choosing to forsake their talents in exchange for a life of luxury and wealth.

But then again....

Dorothy glanced at her talent specialty list, then silently lowered her head.

Damn, it turns out I'm the vine woman.

...The homebody witch is feeling guilty...
