I honestly love the concepts being introduced in this entire battle. Creating a freely accelerated world with mobile plants? A world where gravity was sheer repellance instead of an attractive force? Reanimating discarded bodies of a reincarnate and weaponizing them? All are pretty clever twists that could raise a lot of eyebrows.

Unfortunately, twists are only twists if there's a setup to begin with. Can't twist a thread without a thread. And, unfortunately, this final battle lacks that entirely. These aren't twists, these didn't even feel like loredumps, these just feel like asspulls.

It's kinda sad that these really cool ideas got reduced to asspulls.

I can't remember the last time I saw a series go off the rails into total asspull nonsense this hard. Especially when it apparently wasn't facing cancellation. Every single twist now is completely out of nowhere with no foreshadowing or justification, all for the sake of letting the author write himself into a corner and the bullshit his way out of it for shock value and manufactured drama.

yeah.... i.... think im just kinda done?

we had such a good spot to end this series, and knowing it goes on for at least another 30 chapters or whatever just kinda drains my will to live.

fuck im not even sure at the end of the 30 chapters if this 30 second long battle will even be done. i expect at least 5 more 'twists' and 2 more attempted sacrifices for 'love'.

I am still not reading until we are out of it.
Thanks to the translators for doing so many chapters this quickly, which is very rare.

Glad I'm not the only one. Really feels like the author wrote himself into a corner and is clawing his way out. Things were fine up until the point mirio was killed. Then the whole plot and everything before it took a backseat to set up whatever the hell this is. I'm still wondering where all the other people that were there went. There's zero setup for any of this, it's a kitchen sink of cool ideas thrown at the wall falling flat with no payoff.

nah, the corpses being used as weapons does have some foreshadowing and justification for it. now ehther it fits in the story is a different question (is this a truoy thought out bavkup plan in case he couldn't get the holy sword?)

everything else tho is kinda out of left field yea
