Ryker should be actually dead, any notion he isn't is ridiculous, when the final punch the MC punched him with he punched him straight in the nose with all out force, considering he is an athlete, its lethal, the nose would have been broken and it would have went straight into the brain killing him. Frankly the end of the chapter has been seriously hurting any potential sense of disbelief I might still have, all of it was non-sense.
The attack on the MC is entirely insane, what is even the point? Why does Ryker stubbornly believe that somehow the MC know where his uncle is gone to? Not only that but then proceed to attack him, unless he intended to kill him he'd be screwed afterward, its assault, he was going with his buddies to prison. Next how is he even supposed to be as powerful as he is seemingly portrayed being? He is an orphan, raised by his uncle, even if he got some money how would he supposedly be able to mastermind some crazy plot and even have corrupted cops working for him? Its insane, we are talking organized crime of the highest level here, like the Mafia or the Cartels, not some gang formed by some random somewhat wealthy kid, to be able to corrupt a whole bunch of cops he'd need to have been very rich to begin with, which make the whole plot about bets and making them fail a college basketball game to supposedly make a bunch of money completely unfit.
Its like the Dev has been watching Gotham and decided that what his feel good porn story needed was some sort of crappy version of that, WTF?! What fucking city in any somewhat realistic setting has an a seemingly mostly corrupt police department? None. What city you can have a somewhat wealthy kid somehow become some sort of small Kingpin in a realistic setting? None. What organized crime group waste so much efforts and resources to pull some scam with bets over a bloody college sport? None. Its all non-sense.
That is also adding to how god awful that whole fight was, I can't believe a adult male would be that utterly incompetent at basic fighting. Ryker wasn't an athlete, the MC could have straight up caught the bat and ripped it out of his hands or dodging the baseball bat coming at him from the front in clear sight, so the entire first part of that fight is non-sense, sure afterward I guess it could be justified due to the daze that he would make mistake but the beating that led to that shouldn't have happened. Also how come Ayden came out alone? Where was the rest of the team? What about everybody else? This was happening JUST out of the fucking club, people would have clearly heard it, also how come the bouncer was in Ryker's pocket? Wouldn't Belle have someone she control there? Also how come a supposed secret group of people running the place are somehow so badly equipped to deal with Ryker? He is a kid with delusion of adequacy and some wealth, he isn't a rich criminal mastermind, he is some entitled prick, nothing more.
In this modern world a whole crowd of people would have came out and many with their cellphones pointing their camera at the action, effectively making the entire affair a slam dunk in favor of the MC with any legal issues he might have possibly have had.
Seriously at this point the only reason I follow this story is for the feel good story and the porn, the fact that whatever braindead idiot writing the story for this game is so obsessed into making this Gotham Jr is really getting close to driving me away, their is only so much non-sense and bullshit I can tolerate before I have to call quit and this chapter really is pushing close to my break point for enduring stupidity.
