I thought this story was pretty alright. It kinda lost me a bit in the middle with all the intense meta-narrative talk but wrapped up well enough that I'm satisfied.

There is a single panel in a single page where these girls react to hearing that their friend's parents just disappeared, and only with a wordless "?!" that was only meant as a 1-2-punch gag with the following panel. I'm not saying that her current situation with some mysterious guy isn't worth...

How many times has this dad "secretly" swapped sides now, 5? 6? The man only has loyalty to whatever is the most dramatically appropriate, and yet the kids are surprised every single time to the point that it makes them look stupid.

Oh okay so he did retire, just in the flashiest way possible. Still not sure why Shadowbringer still needs to exist but sure whatever.

I don't understand why he wouldn't just shut down Shadowbringer, it already completed its goal of wiping out that other crime syndicate. Why not simply retire and disappear?

Pretty sure monsters don't count - especially if this "sacrifice" is supposed to be something willingly given by the participant and not something the MC is forcibly taking like with the monsters.

Back in Chapter 48 (at the end of the previous arc), Lady Yomi revealed to the party (notably including Nui and the old servant guy) that there's someone else inside the Princess's body and that the two of them are putting extreme stress on her body. This is not new information to them. The only...

I'm not really sure why some of you are saying this arc specifically feels rushed or confusing, it's the exact same method of storytelling the rest of the series has had up to this point - the party goes to a new place, steamrolls through any normal conversation so that whatever important plot...

What's the point of going all "I'm only human, if scum like this appear before me I have nothing against killing them" and then just having them get killed by a snake so the MC gets the all the buffs without the burden of actually ending someone's life? Also the snake getting the kill but the...

Well that was an anti-climax. Kinda made the whole thing seem pointless, honestly.

So the old group consoles him over losing out on his marriage, but nobody says a thing about how he was unjustly booted from the guild? Nobody suggests trying to get reinstated, even if it'd end up the cliche "restart at F rank" trope? Nobody is mad at him for going completely radio silent as if...

Well that sure was polite of the monster to wait for them all to finish fucking like animals, and even let them put their clothes back on before attacking.

Besides being an absurd ramp up of difficulty and stakes, this just seems like a baffling explanation of the dungeons being "out of order". Let's say they were strong enough to "correctly" kill the dark elf and got the universal translator device - by the time they'd get around to using the...

I like the visual of the mist of numbers as a representation of how overwhelming his stats are when viewed with this analysis skill. Maybe a bit overdramatic, but it was very cool!

How overpriced and terrible is that restaurant if it costs 100,000 yen per person on average, and yet the ex thinks it tastes like cheap tasteless garbage? Surely if the food was even remotely decent quality she would have recognized that at some point, right? :huh:
