another world Sakuya could've been an insane twist if they had the time to build him up properly and gave him an actual purpose. overall I'm satisfied with the story
the artist recently started a Monster Strike spin-off centered on Lucifer eating stuff. might peek that one cuz their art is insanely good and more importantly... Lucifer is hot

This was executed as an Offering to the manga gods so more isekai will get seralized.

Why are my onee-shota manga getting cancelled? 
(click to zoom)
I think this might be an axe of creative differences.
I didn't know there was a one-shot, but from the looks of it, it seems the author holds that version more dearly. Maybe there was something about the world building that required what he wanted from that version of the characters? I hope this is not another case of the editors interfering too much with the authors vision.... it usually kills the work.
I felt like, and I have no proof, the acceleration was because author wanted to reach something he planned in his roadmap AT THE BARE MINIMUM. And that point is connected to his original vision of the one-shot characterization. Like a return to true form?
I have no idea how this works, I'm just salty.
EDIT:
Upon researching further, it seems like the illustrator and the author could have split apart. Maybe the illustrator was the one to move on? Mugino Inu is both the author and artist of the new Lucifer series. Lucifer's Loose Cooking is actually an official comedic food spin-off for Monster Strike one of the highest-grossing mobile games in Japan.
If Mugino Inu was offered this huge solo opportunity while Because God isn't Watching was already struggling against editorial "commercialization" or low ratings, it would make perfect professional sense to wrap up the joint project so the illustrator could jump straight into their major new solo series.
So maybe....
Under these conditions, Isumi Kaoru (author) and Mugino Inu (illustrator) likely agreed to sprint to the finish line so they could tie the main story back to their original one-shot blueprint before parting ways. They have worked together several times making them a creative-duo who see their works beyond transactional collaborations and more like a true creative partnership. A supportive author wouldn't want to trap their frequent collaborator in a compromised, stalling manga. By agreeing to accelerate the ending and tie it neatly back to their original one-shot, they weaponized the pacing to save the core identity of their work.
Being backed into corner by corporate demands, it's was their way of preserving their initial vision rather than letting it fizzle out or be handed to a different artist.

Sometimes it feels like manga publishers have some rule that the authors are strictly prohibited from explicitly stating that their manga was axed. No way in hell this guy was "able to draw up to the point [he'd] envisioned." (Unless that point was ch1 or something.)

Thx for the TL
This was alright, clear it was axed and reading the above comments, looks like there was creative differences. Sad to see when the core team working on a manga splits up, but hope they find happiness and success in their next works. I will say the art is very nice, I hope to see the artist's next work, hopefully maybe less echi (unless its an adult romcom ecchi, that im totally down for)
Overall 6-6.5

You know except for the "I wish it had more chapters" I honestly can't complain that much about this.
It didn't blow me away or anything but I had an ok time with this, 6/10.
Probably could've gone somewhere cool if it had a longer run time but they can't be all winners. :v
