the plot from this arc is WAY too complicated for it's own good... also the slow release doesn't help. what i got so far from the story is:
  • there was a calamity so bad, it forced that kingdom into hiding, and they did something similar to suspended animation to everyone
  • the cave king crest, and the dryad crest are important, but why?
  • is that queen an ally or what?
  • what happened that made the calamity disappear? and will it come back again, considering all this lore dump we've been getting?

Since we saw trashbro bragging about there's nothing he can't control, probably got sealed into that crystal thing (likely by the cave king)

So my guess is Queen used Dryad to preserve the people, Cave King went to seal calamity into a jar.

Is she an ally - at best there might be a 'oh no the previous cave king is in the jar' dilemma, but I don't see how she wouldn't stay an ally.

For the love of God and all that is holy please combine the two halves into one single released chapter. I appreciate the effort of translating this but having it piecemeal is just too damn hard to keep track of this convoluted plot.

I am flabbergasted at how quickly this arc has made me not care about the story at all. I loved this series when it started. Sure it was simple and pretty typical of those "I was kicked out for being useless but I'm actually OP" wish-fulfillment stories that dominate fantasy series, but it was fun. This arc is like the writer wrote down all this background lore and worldbuilding and was like "fuck it. I spent weeks doing this so now the audience is going to get every single fragment of it given to them to appreciate the hard work I did." without considering how much of a drag it is. It's overly complicated, kinda navel-gazey and pretentious, and likely mostly unnecessary to the story at hand.

A secret of good writing, that a lot of mediocre writers ignore, is that you should always have more background and lore than you need for your story. Give the sense that there's more to the world beyond what you show the readers even if you don't show it. And learn to make the tough choices about cutting things that don't contribute to the story even if you think they're interesting (or if you can't do that yourself, get yourself an editor who can do it for you.)

I feel like the author thinks I'll care more about this story arc way more than I actually do.

I don't care about this story arc. I'm here for the wholesome island life stuff.
