theyre so fxxxing s*upid. They have an intelligent, (seemingly) harmless creature, and yet treat it like a pet. It doesn't help that the MC has a mental age of 5, but that can be forgiven. Despite not treating the MC like a human, they expect her to adhere to human standards. I hate them. They find she has chloroplasts in her blood and yet don't let her have as much sun. THEY THEN HAVE THE GALL TO WONDER WHY SHES LISTLESS LIKE WHAT ARE YOU A NEPO BABY.

they have a lot of contact with a potentially dangerous subject, and treat her quite roughly. Why did they pluck her hair when they could've cut it? Why did they do things without consent? I guess it's always easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

they are also extremely careless with the subject, never noting down behaviours, in any sort of standardised method.

my rant is just making me more angry. I guess the author has never been in a research lab before, and the sole knowledge they have is when a protagonist mutates in a manga or something.

more things I'm angry about (pt.2)

EXCUSE ME. QUARANTINE. HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF IT. I'm actually going to get the lab shut down for gross negligence. Why tf are you just casually making contact with an unknown species that could potentially have so many unknown/ incurable diseases?? I know that the guy who brought MC in exhibited no abnormalities, but so many illnesses and conditions appear only after a set amount of time. Adding to the fact that the mc's body is quite similar to human's (minus the plant + magic parts), anything that would stick to her is most likely able to infect humans.

before any of you are like 'oh ho ho she's immune cause she's a plant' I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL THAT UNPROTECTED CONTACT WITH A PREVIOUSLY UNDISCOVERED ORGANISM IS A s*upid IDEA.

that's rant pt.2, see you next episode.

dont @ me with 'it's just fantasy' either. If the author decided to make a research lab in the novel, they have to be responsible for it.

rant pt.3

stress. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU LITERALLY SUBJECTING THE LIVING THING YOURE STUDYING TO ab*se?? DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW MANY THINGS PUT THERE DIE FROM JUST WRONG CONDITIONS LET ALONE PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT?? Like I previously said, THIS SUBJECT IS ONE OF A KIND. IF IT DIES YOURE OUT A LOT.

im actually seeing red from anger.

kinda reminds me of the giant clam they wanted to know the age of, so they opened the shell and accidentally killed it. It was the oldest animal known to date. THIS IS EVEN WORSE. THIS HAS NO SCIENTIFIC VALUE. If you put a fragile device with an animal, and the animal breaks it, is it the animal's fault? NO. IT IS YOUR FAULT FOR CREATING THAT SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. It's bad to refer to the MC as an animal, but that's effectively what she is.

that's rant pt.3 (more like rant pt2.5 but whatever)

actual rant 2.5

i didn't mention this before, but seeing as this is a magical world, i. Must. Emphasise. The. Importance. Of. Quarantine!!! HOW TF ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW A SUBJECT IS SAFE ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING POSSIBLE MENTAL CONTAMINATION ARE YOU INSANE. Not forgetting the complexities of inter species diseases. Letting a subject run around with barely ANY SEPARATION GEAR HELLO?? Am I hate reading this? I'm hate reading this.

for my sanity ill pretend the MC is some sort of eldritch horror capable of mass contamination. Hopefully that turns out to be the twist cause the MC doesn't make sense.
