Man, svsss is actually terrifying if you take away the humor and actually acknowledge what's actually happening
Like tbh I understand why sy was scared that lbh would still get revenge even after he was nice. All the other major plot lines had been happening. There were things he couldn't change, who was to say that lbh's revenge wasn't one of them
Also I don't think I'd be able to think straight if a god if some sorts played with my life, making me run around like a mouse in a maze to live. That actually terrifying. Then what happened when he failed a mission. Like, what. I'd be terrified. Sure, death was always a threat but actually experiencey arm getting ripped off??? I'd be scared out of my mind to fail missions.
Don't even get me started on the occ point reductions. Imagine being ever so slightly pushed to death because you smiled at a kid.
Sqq was either not fully registering what was going on or was not all mental alright to be as calm as he was. I'd have broken so quickly under that. Sqq deserves to be a bit insane
Edit: reread the system punishment bit and Shen Qingqiu also got his leg ripped off right before the system took him out
