'Nother great one.
EDIT:
No wound is completely non-lethal. Getting slugged in the head like that can be very dangerous. Gamer's Body probably removes any chance of a concussion or brain injury, so it would actually be safer.

How does the system determine whether the fight is to the death though?
Even if it has a system to do so, I'd assume that the system has something to separate to-the-death engagements from non-lethal ones, much like how games have systems specifically for dueling and such.
So when she equipped Derfinger, did it shrink because magic sword or did it shrink because of the gamer automatically making items fit her?

Accidental prick by a completely clean sewing needle that doesn't go beyond breaking the skin.
There, a completely non-lethal wound. If you die after getting it, it certainly won't be from the needle, but from something else that does the trick.
'Because magic sword', according to Derf.

I thought the blacksmith shortened him as part of the refurbishing deal.
Yeah but I don't entirely trust Derf as a source...
Derf - I totally did that! I mean it happened, so it must have been me. I'm awesome like that. I don't remember doing it in the past though. Not important, I am awesome!

I am pretty sure that is not how it works in the source material.

Aye! They just uploaded LINKS TO MANGA SCANLATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED PER CC.III.1.6, Fernandel of the translated version today!
I know that, I was just explaining the canon interpretation of it.

Critical failure, you scream bloody murder and jam it into a good vein.
/Sarcasm
Would Gamer's Body count that as a wound sufficient to remove HP? I'm fairly certain that it's not that sensitive, and that whatever entity is behind the ability (assuming it's not just straight-up Gaia or the Void) doesn't hate Louise that much.

Depends on the game, I guess.
If you break the skin around some stitches enough, thats got a measurable chance of being lethal.
By context. Maybe reading the intentions of the other person. Maybe by whether or not the fight would end in a lethal manner if Louise never had the Gamer or Gamer's Body in the first place. Keep in mind we're dealing with something that probably at least warps reality, if it even has an in-story explanation, so it wouldn't be illogical for the Gamer program to be pseudo-sentient.

More likely she will mention him to Cattleya who will mention it to parents, and then Karin will come to him to check on Louise discreetly.
And that's good.
I'm not sure, but I think the mod's don't like scanelations being directly linked? Scanelations are a breach of copyright law, even if it generally goes unenforced.

Read through the whole manga. Couple of things I gleaned:
Gamer's Mind
It does not blunt all your emotions. Instead, the effect is that you stay cool in combat. Outside of battles, Jee-Han felt scared just fine, like when he went on a date with the sick girl and the father was watching;
More sinisterly, killing becomes less of an issue. Your morals and restraint are intact, you can feel appalled that you're not feeling more but the instinctive revulsion most people feel against killing an enemy isn't there.
Gamer's Body
The body takes visible injuries - Jee-Han was shot while under the effect of a body-strengthening skill, and it left a red mark/abrasion;
Stamina points (SP) and fatigue are mentioned, if not displayed on his status, and he gets tired like a normal person. Vitality may be the determining factor as to how many SP he has and how quickly he recovers (of course, then he learns massage, which reduces fatigue).
Combat for a gamer
Critical hits and headshots were a thing, at least in the start;
There's also poison and curse effects;
Opponents are considered to have normal anatomy for the purposes of damage. Blowing legs off is totally viable;
Buffing magic causes icons representing the spells to appear above the Gamer's head;
Weapons can take damage when wielded by the Gamer. Same goes for clothing;
Wizard is so the way to go if you have access to the Abyss Auction. Jee-Han even mentions D&D, the origin of 'linear warriors, quadratic wizards'.
Magic Systems
There's many routes to power - ki manipulation, alchemy, life magic, elemental magics, contract magic with elemental spirits and demons... basically anything goes;
They are still all considered to follow some approximation of conservation of energy - except the Gamer, who can truly create something from nothing with his item drops;
The Gamer, until he found a teacher for dualcasting, could only cast one spell at a time. At least, that was the author's explanation for not using Life Drain, a continuous spell.
Miscellaneous
The Abyss Auction is full of very, very scary people. Not only do they deal in human trafficking and slaves, they also modernised the black market by killing off their competitors.

Heads up, folks! I'd like to remind you all of our rules regarding copyright infringement, specifically CC.III.1.6:
Considering this was most likely done out of mere ignorance of the rules and no malice, I merely edited out the link. If this happens again, however, infractions will follow. Thank you for your understanding, and enjoy this story!

But it's not a manga, it's a webcomic, accessible for free (though this isn't the officiel translation; the official one is found on webtoons.com), though yes, the website linked has scanned mangas so if the "two links" rule apply like for NSFW content it's bad.
Not contesting, just curious about how the rule apply in that case, since there are plenty of cool korean webcomics.
So... is linking the official (free) translation ok? Is linking another one ok too or not?
And yes, it's probably not the right thread for that, but I'm not sure where it should go, feel free to relocate this post if there's a correct place for it.
