    Episode 18:

    Omg, this anime made me cry a little again when those poor orphans at the end understood that someone who cares about them appeared.

    But i also have to say, Main was awfully reluctant to help them in the beginning. I know It's usually the 'stupid hero does things without thinking' thing to do, but here i found it actually unrealistic how reluctant she was. Someone from the real world should instantly want to help and insist on it. I can't see myself being all 'oh well, i can't do anything, let them die'. To insist on help in this case isn't really heroic, It's normal imo.

    Things worked out in the end, but not without Main being given several pushes.

    I disagree, at least in being reluctant to help, etc. My main problem with her was that she didn't show empathy at all, that's the issue here, the rest follows.

    But reluctancy to help I can't say it is a given that someone would do it, but the lack of empathy to me was the biggest thing that seemed uncharacteristic of her.

    Yes, we know she has a twisted set of priorities, but till now she at least has shown to be someone who cares about others. At least I thought so. Now we have her rationalizing it all as as a means of having her own sweatshop.
