Oh sure, but that didn't require a terrible boss character who was the one who essentially killed the MC (via overwork), now did it? :dogkek:
For example, it could have been a nice boss who made those changes, and everybody was going through crunch!
This seems like it's a good way into comedy, but it hasn't got that tag? Does it get a lot more serious as it goes on? I suppose it would, as people die. :thonk:
I don't really see the point of giving the isekai'd person a backstory like an abusive boss, and then just immediately moving on from it, if it bares no relevance to the story. It'd be one thing if it was a small subplot that got resolved in this chapter (like the boss being arrested for...
While it's definitely fine as a laid back read on a 'do-nothing' day, I find the lack of any sort of resolution for the romance, which is the main thrust of the series, to be pretty disappointing and leaving the entire thing kind of lacking.
Perhaps, if the author didn't want to have anything...
Honestly, the more I read, the more I hate almost all the characters besides the MC; she's the only one who seems somewhat rational and kind. Everyone else acts so juvenile and seemingly twists the MC's arm into making them food. Frankly I wish she started only making small servings for herself...
How can a heterosexual romance story feel so gay!? :dogkek:
I really like the MC, though I'm not sure about the MMC yet - he acts like a tough guy (not the act he's putting on, but standing up to the ruffians), but then has no strength whatsoever, so I'll hold my opinions on him.
I like the MMC more in this chapter than the last, but there's still moments where I raise my eyebrow - what he's often doing doesn't come across as romantic, but childish and lame. Jumping onto her lap like a dog in front of their parents? Asking to be pet? Bleh! It makes me cringe. :bleh:
I...
Isn't this the first arc, and the first battle? It's been three years! I can't tell if that's a horrifically slow pace, or normal? :thonk:
And we still probably haven't fully completed it.
On Another note, I feel like Hannah should have had just a bit more presence in the last few chapters...
I recall this was better handled in the WN. The princess is in an actual battle, that they manage to struggle through, but when her aid is killed saving the the princess' life, the princess goes hulk mode and starts killing a bunch of the enemies and finally steels herself.
This feels weak in...
While the art isn't bad specifically, the previous artist made it all feel far more serious, this artist almost gives everything a comical air to it.
What really drags the art down is the lack of rendering, compared to the previous artist, and the terrible layouts - the panel to panel reading...
I'm sure the spirits will perform some home alone shenanigans on the intruders. :dogkek:
On another note, I do wonder why the original version of the fmc wasn't as powerful as this one? I'm sure it's not solely because of how much she likes the MC. :thonk:
Given the staggering amount of knock-offs in manga, to the point you could even say that the entirety of the isekai genre is just a large grouping of knock-offs, I'm surprised there aren't more Overlord specific knock-offs (given its lasting popularity). :thonk:
So their grand plan is to kill a saintess to show the world... that their religion is the coolest?... Am I getting that right?
Wouldn't that make people think your religion is full of violent scumbags? I would have expected a greater ambition, like she's in the way politically, or some great...
