Hmm so you're going with the "injuries happen but can be ignored (to a technically impossible extent)"? I like that.

More like, injuries are only a esthetic effect. Clearly she has excellent graphics, to render such realistic injuries.
(Now i had the random thought of her finding and messing with the graphic options, and become a caricature when she lowers them)

So either double the reason for him to fall for Louise or he can be both bro and gay best friend.
Sometimes, bullying happens because those involved do not stop to think how bad it hurts the victim. In this case, she is confronted with how much Louise cared about her problem since she basically admitted she accepted to go through this before she knew she could cast magic successfully, is willing to go through this to prove herself useful, went through an injury that affected the way she behaves without anyone caring and without Louise caring because she sees its effects as a mean to prove herself. From Monmon's perspective, she just realized that they have been mocking Louise on something she believes in strong enough to risk her life for it and that of those who are there or should be there, not even Louise cares about said life. So she is feeling pity for Louise because of her situation and then, realizing that the bullying probably contributed to why she feels both so strongly about proving herself and so weakly about her own well being or the worth of it, she started to feel guilty for both bullying and not noticing someone was hurting before it was too late to do something about it.
So she just realized that Louise didn't deserve her treatment but feels it is too late since she set herself on a path in which she most likely will get badly hurt and doesn't care because she was led to believe her worth was dependant on her skill. When faced with someone so badly hurt she is feeling a sudden burst of empathy, wants to fix her part on causing it so that she can feel better about herself but has no way to do so. She cares because she imagined herself in that situation, realized that it was not Louise's fault and experienced the catharsis like on a classical tragedy.

So tired.....
Oh God Louise is going to Pull an Emiya My Body is Made of Swords. LITERAL SWORDS- level of stuff and when back to normal and everyone freaking out she will just act as normal, cue even bigger freakout because who is okay with maiming their own body like that and shrugs it off as nothing?!

I blame the phone. Once the reply grows too long it becomes incredibly frustrating to correct it since it doesn't let me select where to edit it properly. That, and I have yet to grow used to write on it. Add to that English not being my mother tongue...

I was thinking it was more like Shizuo from Durarara, where when she's horribly injured she comes back stronger, growing past the human limit, and damage and pain stop effecting her performance.

Nah, I can see the Emiya parallels. she can be horribly injured and just not care about it as long as she does what she means to and doesn't die.

I think its more like Shizuo because Emiya still has to fight through the pain while Shizuo and Louise rarely feel more than the initial ow.

Ehh... That varies from system to system and GM to GM. Most RPGs separate health damage and status damage, which the broken ribs would fall under (probably).
Something about this chapter that hasn't been directly brought up, I think: Montmorency is potentially upset because she thinks Louise has no sense of self-worth and, consequently, no sense of self-preservation.

Really sounds like she's just puppeting her own body. You can cut clean through her arm and some force just keeps the severed limb in place.

Yeah. She has a focus on a different discipline of Water that overlaps a bit and that's why she knows what she does. Moreover, she's Line. To be a competent healer you need to be Triangle. Lines can be decent healers, but Triangles are preferred on that profession due to the generally higher complexity of spells involved.
Oh no. Severed limbs are very much a thing that Louise does not want to happen to her, even with Gamer's Body.

Nice job breaking her ribs, Monmon. Wow she's gonna be giving Louise free heals for life at the rate this guilt trip is growing.

Copacetic throwback (Very early chapter)
Taylor goes to a healer that can see past Wounds.

Healer has psychotic break. "I refuse to believe you were split in half!"
"Eh, it was not that bad"

That kind of reminds me of CYOA's "Comicbook Pretty", the bleeding only making the fight look harder, the broken arm giving a sense of epic to the protagonist's struggles
Oho
Question, can high level healing magic regrow limbs? Or at least fingers? I don't think I have ever seen a maimed noble. My knowledge of FoZ is from fanfics and Back To Basics, tho.
I think that is only going to sink in right now if they stand around long enough for Louise to regenerate a bit. If she tries to diagnose again and notices the injures are less than she though, or worse watches them repairing themselves in real time, then she'll freak out again. Never mind the effects if Louise takes a nap and then she checks again. As Is if they stand/sit around long enough and Louise heals up there is going cause another freak out when Monmon has to deal with finding out the mauled Louise is fine now... this can only mean one of two things: 1)Either Louise can regenerate damage over time at a impossible rate or 2)Monmon imagined the damage in the first place.
Louise has developed that legendary ability that drill sergeants are always trying to teach their trainees... she can literally walk and/or sleep off her injuries. Louise even has a perfect excuse for not explaining further to Monmon, she freaked out this much over Louise' ability to stand... what would she do if she learned this would heal on its own in an hour or three?
I'm pretty sure Louise unlocked physical endurance there... Louise is lucky she is a noble. Between her damage ignoring abilities, the regeneration, and the increasing ability to negate a percentage of physical damage outright... I think some nobles would take it as a personal life quest to get her into a gimp suit. This group can be referred to as the first up against the wall so the revolution doesn't come.
As is I'm half expecting once the military training comes around for the academy students, that the drill instructors will be having a ball, during spars, handing her random weapons (and then random objects) just to see how she defends herself with them.

I'm not so sure about that, really - Osmond has a familiar, and the Gryphon and Dragon Knights might only be recruited from mages who summon the relevant beastie as a familar but it seems unlikely due to the relative numbers, but can you name one other adult who is not a Void Mage and is shown with one? I get the feeling that it's more a matter of high school drama to say that it's so incredibly critical, and Louise's considering it a deadline for expressing magic was either a special case due to her lack of success with practical magic, or self-set (as expelling the child of a noble family one step removed from the throne would have serious political consequences.)

Also, consider Éléonore's reaction at the end of the second season when everyone thinks Saito is dead: she tells Louise to just summon another familiar, IIRC.

That's... an interesting approach to the Gamer's Body's reality vs. HP disconnect. I kinda like it.
Shipping Intensifies.
That's a minimally reality-disturbing way to do it. Interesting. Retains the main benefit from Gamer's Body, while still reeling it in from high absurdity.
So... in the chopping of an arm scenario... the arm would come off, and Louise would gain the status of Disarmed or somesuch. (while also losing a chunk of HP.) Seems like that would offend reality the least.
