The reunion with the old Party in this chapter? Honestly, for me, it was totally superficial. There was a lack of background on the MC joining the guild, and the heroines' loyalty to Neihart after the banishment is inexplicable, completely undermining their credibility. The MC forgiving everything right away, without questioning it, is a disservice to his personality. Betrayal is serious, and their inaction, only chasing after the MC when the leader turns into a demon and attacks everyone, is a forced and unemotional cliché. As much as I like a stoic and powerful MC, this passive acceptance of betrayal, without a more complex reaction, turns into a negative point in his development. It's frustrating to see a protagonist who, after being betrayed, just 'lives with it' comfortably. That stoic personality became a flaw at this point.
