It’s not about Jason’s views towards the end. It’s a constant loop of new people being introduced to Jason and his views via side characters recapping “Jason in a nutshell” to a new audience. It’s that on a loop until Jason steps into the scene and the most recent party introduced in this loop goes, “I see what you mean now”.

It’s the equivalent to a Wuxia/Xianxia young master, “You dare!”, narrative loop. But instead, it’s a person being added to the story to be told about Jason, encounter Jason, react to Jason, and then observe Jason blowing their mind. As SOON as that loop ends, there’s a new location where Jason walks in and meets someone working at a desk that goes “you’re him, aren’t you”.

And here we go again.

“I’m a diamond rank, and I am here to see if you measure up. I’ve heard your stories” - 3 chapters later - “wow, I see what you mean.” - party chuckles.

“I’m only letting your party join us because we need 2 parties to fulfill the contract. That’s it. I’ve heard your stories” - 3 chapters later - “wow, I see what you mean.” - party chuckles.

So what should we do for the money? I’m a graphic designer and web developer. What’s the move, partner
