MEMORIZE - Chapter 21

 ルーベン・バレド bean that alignment doesn’t exist its a translation mistake.
You can combine lawfull/neutral/chaotic with evil/neutral/good.
So 9 possible combos.
You can’t combine lawfull and chaotic they are opposites of eachother.
The translator probably doesn’t know what it means.
The first category is about if you follow the rules or laws in your culture/society.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the apocalypse and the walking dead come, there are ne and different rules like kill the ones who are bitten, if you follow it you are lawful, if not chaotic, if depending on context it can change neutral.
Doesn’t matter if the rule is morally good or bad.
Second category is about altruism or self interest.
So you tend to help others out even at the cost of yourself ? Good.
Do you put your interest or act out of sled interest first ? Evil.
Doesn’t mean you are actually evil or a monster or a saint good person.
It’s an image.
Smart kid let’s others cheat off him to help them even if he might get caught ? Chaotic good.
Smart kid helps others study cutting even in his own study time but doesn’t let them cheat off him ? Lawfull good
Smart kid helps others cheat or study depending on what works only if he’s sure he won’t get caught ? Neutral good
Smart kid doesn’t help cheaters but offers help to study as long as it doesn’t take time out his own study time or puts him at a disadvantage ? Lawfull neutral
Smart kid doesn’t get involved with others performances regardless ? True neutral
Smart kid can help cheat or study as long as it doesn’t take his own time or puts him at a disadvantage ? Chaotic neutral
Smart kid doesn’t help cheat but offers help to study if he gets a reward or incentive ?
Lawfull evil
Smart kid could either help cheat or study depending on how big the risk is and will not go out of their way but accept possible low risk opportunities leaning either way ? Neutral evil
Smart kid will either help cheat or study or sabotage others depending on what they gain the most of ?
Chaotic evil
So you can’t be lawfull and chaotic at the same time.
That’s saying he obeys and disregards the rules at the same time.
It’s about tendency to follow or be harmonious with society’s rules or not.
Or possibly be involved and tendency to do either depending on if gain is high and possible sanction is low and little effort is required on your part.
And about whether have a tendency to want to help / act out in favour of others or a tendency to pursue things out of self interest or again possibly be involved and tendency to do either depending on if gain is high or sacrifice is low and little effort is required on your part.
True neutrals are very rare usually not used for human characters, but for deity etc because it basically is I’m feel like I’m neither involved with society’s rules nor am I inclined to either help others or profit from them, I’m removed or beyond human morals.
It’s different than rejecting the rules, that’s chaotic alignment
