I'm putting this in S2 so that I definitly don't spoil anyone in S1.
I always wondered since the Job change quest was "survive as long as possible".

Generally in these types of quests, if you die it doesn't matter. Cause you had to die at some point (thats why it's a different victory condition).
I was just thinking, if he would let him die, it wouldn't be that much of a big deal. Since the quests itselfs states that it is almost impossible to survive this.

So, did I miss something? Or could he actually let himself die and still win? And if so, why didn't he realize it himself? He displated a lot of intelligence through the whole series. Why not remember that it's that kind of quest?

I think he could've died, surely? The reason he gets Shadow Monarch is because he wins completely. Also, even if he could he had no reason to just let it happen, right? He'd want the best possible result- only through completely passing the quest.

The system seemingly doesn't want Jinwoo to die, that's why it gives him cheat skills, for example during the Beru fight.
No, this isn't my signature.

Just enjoy the anime and don’t over think it.

I suggest not putting much thought into the “system”, it will only ruin your experience, especially when you find a flaw, it will keep bugging you, messing up your enjoyment of the anime.

As John Lennon said in the Beatles’ song Tomorrow Never Knows, “Turn off your mind, relax, and float down stream”.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

If he died he would be dead(Shirou EmiyaTM) and someone else would be chosen as the next player.
The Job Change Quest was full of hidden requirements.
"Survive as long as possible" was just part of the score calculation, the others weren't revealed beforehand.
He's also not a gamer, he has limited knowledge. Also you can't expect someone to go and die on purpose because of some video game logic.

The whole theme of Jinwoo is that he tries to survive even in the face of unbeatable odds. You didn't understand the story if you're asking him to just die to finish a quest faster...

@Yaggamy
This has nothing to do with the story imo.
It was more why he was so scared and doing so much effort to survive. I thaught for sure he was gonna die since these type of quests are made for that.

I do remember he had some bonus points for completing it entirely and maybe thats why he got the special class.

this is a question that could spoil season 3 or season 4. I read the manwha and this is a subject that is covered later in the stoey.

this type of quest are ment to die ? bro this is not a video game ,it has video game like system, and power system,

subaru literally cries and mopes about it every time he dies even when he knows that he can survive because of rbd ,

,i don't think jinwoo getting scared is not out of the situation, everyone would be scared when a sudden sub quest pops out when he just finished boss battle..
