The Absolute Being is a First-Time Dad Chapter 18

Here is a short, punchy version optimized specifically for a website comment section. It cuts straight to the point so other readers can easily scan and agree with you.
Why do returnee authors always make the MC poor and brainless? It makes zero sense! 🙄
From a pure common-sense perspective, if you are an all-powerful emperor returning to a world where S-Rank hunters are treated like global billionaires, the very first thing you should do is get rich. You don’t even have to reveal your identity—you could easily use a proxy hunter to sell high-tier boss drops, liquidate otherworldly resources, or covertly clear gates for massive black-market payouts. Staying broke and hiding in a tiny apartment actually invites more chaos (thugs, debt, low-tier hunters looking down on you) than it prevents.
Instead, the author strips the MC of basic common sense and keeps the sister completely blind for two cheap reasons:
• The "Juxtaposition" Gag: The author thinks it is peak comedy to contrast a literal god-level warrior with the mundane struggles of buying expensive baby formula or getting smacked by his older sister for wasting electricity.
• The Progression Illusion: Webnovel authors are terrified of "power-scaling inflation." If the MC gets rich and famous in Chapter 1, the standard "zero-to-hero" progression format breaks. They artificially freeze his wealth to stretch out the story.
By Chapter 16, it just feels like lazy writing. The author is completely sacrificing logical world-building and a smart protagonist just to force wholesome, repetitive slice-of-life comedy gags.
