I understand how this arc can be insanely long without anything actually happening.

Iver is gonna just wax on about everything and chew the scenery because she has literally all the time in the world to do so.

As weird as it is, I'm okay with this (for now).

I feel that explanation of the barrier didn't really make sense...like if that's effectively saying the outside of the sphere applies antigravity (or seen as a gravity hill), the beam would bend but outright reflection doesn't make sense.

Not sure lost in translation or just...typical fantasy worldbuilding that you shouldn't think too hard about.

You can simplify this much more. The thrust of what she was saying wasn't really defined by the magibabble, it was mostly implied. She made the micro-world they're in, and she got to define the rules of physics. She spends a lot of time explaining the rules, but the important part is that she decided it wouldn't work, so it didn't.

Ah, so very literally this:

You know, Iver replacing gravity with a completely different force makes me wonder how the various quantum forces work in Mirio's World. Not that I really understand how they work in this world but still.

My criticism is basically, if the explanation doesn't make sense, why bother having it? She could have just said something like "the world is set up so an attack like that wouldn't interact"--yet instead we get a whole thing about gravity, except it only makes the explanation seem wrong.

It's kind of like how everyone complained about the "10% of your brain" thing in Lucy. If you want a movie where someone can bend reality, that's fine, and you don't even have to explain how it works...but if you do explain it, the explanation matters. If it's a bad explanation, it leaves a bad impression. It diminishes the work.

"The worlds created by your god-race really are all the same aren't they. Uniform with no trace of originality. The moment you proudly showed off your airplane I knew it at once. That you came from a base world... or at best some ordinary world like it." I get it now. This is actually a commentary about the author's contemporaries overusing a few particular settings.

What I think you are missing is that the author is trying to get the idea across that in this divine battle the rules of reality are not limited to the rules that a reincarnator from "Earth" would know or assume. Making assumptions about the rules of a reality is foolish when a fight involves someone who can define and redefine those rules.

This author is fully lost in the sauce. Should have stuck with writing softcore porn/romcom, this convoluted battle of exposition is not good.
