Sometimes I realize that some of my favorite things about this mc has to do with that he's a skeleton with an emotional restriction installed.

I mean, that means we're instantly rid of some of the most annoying issues with japanese mcs, like, for example:

1: He's not averse to killing to meet his goals. He doesn't speak about morals this or morals that. He also doesn't panic all the time or act like a young teenager.

2: There's no real romance from his side. Some may love him romantically, but he's got no real interest in them as he lacks both strong emotions and libido. Romance would kill this novel. I do, however, hope for him to take a few brides at the very end of the novel, like the last volume, but until then, he needs to stay out of the whole harem and romance business, it leaves place to focus on actual good things and we don't have to see him agonize about love.

3: Since he's a skeleton... We don't have to sit through the cliché and generic food bullshit that japanese people can't seem to stop. I mean, I like japanese food(I cook authentic stuff myself quite often) and I can understand their love for rice and whatever, but they take it too far and while it was interesting the first few times, it's just extremely annoying after dozens of times. It's the same thing over and over again. They go on a quest for rice and everything else and then cook and eat and everyone's amazed and can't stop praising it to death... and this crap takes up 50% of the novel most of the time. Urgh. Talk about lazy writing. It requires no effort whatsoever on the author's part and it's just annoying to read through.

So, it's nice how being a skeleton solved most of the biggest issues with japanese mcs.
