Japanese is so hard

Adventurer's guilds in light novels are usually portrayed as rough-housing places, but the guild receptionist characters talk exactly like convenience store clerks. I always find that funny - I think it's hard for Japanese writers to imagine service workers who AREN'T polite

Я просто хотел поговорить с 17-летним пацаном, рожденным в рабстве в Москве — а в итоге целый год писал разоблачение его спасителя, русского авантюриста Мельникова. Я так зарылся, что сам поехал крышей, потерял работу, влез в долги и влюбился: prince.baza.io

Итак, тред про Мишу Шайдорова от человека, который болел за него с 2020 года. Сразу предупрежу - тут много моего субъективного опыта болельщика, могут встречаться фактические помарки, потому что факты о Мише в своё время выдирались бог весть откуда, включая случайные инсайды.
