hi hi I'd been reading this and enjoying it for a while, it felt like a lighthearted, low stress kind of adventure, you know. But this latest arc has left me asking myself, "what the eff?" They're really gonna try to whitewash this absolute monster of a character that enslaves people...

This has been a frustrating arc to be sure, but I'm glad to see it finally reached a conclusion. I still feel like Aki x Shiho has about as much chemistry as oil and water, and Himari's meddling made me like her character less and less. (Flashbacks to my own high school days and all.) But...

One of the things I like about this manga is how the protagonist is kind of edgy and anti-social, but the author frames it as being sort of a problem, rather than being 'cool' like most authors would.

*reads the first page* "...Is this in medias res? I can't remember." *backs up to the previous chapter* "Okay, I'm not missing anything." 🤣

Does this... ever involve consent? Like, real consent and not "I agree because you're pointing a gun at my head?"

@BimBim85 I feel like dragon boi and the maid the only ones who see her for herself and not for her mother or previous incarnations.

They still doing the romanticizing domestic violence shtick?

Does anyone really expect Torigoe to get anywhere with this? I wonder if the only reason she's in the story is to contrast the FL's success with a tragedy.

Feels bad for all the other witches that got used up and thrown away... But ignoring that, it's kinda cute.

It really is tragic to be betrayed like that, and it definitely deserves better than being called a monster. But... taking it out on people other than the one who wronged you is still an evil move.

@thehypesreal The dispute has already been going on for months, and they've already sparred verbally multiple times. At some point one just has to realize they're throwing good intentions after bad. @JKTV My personal experience tells me that it is still better to just let it go. Constantly...

@AkodoRyu Sometimes friends become abusive and stop being friends. (Same with lovers/spouses) The only advice I can give in those cases, from personal experience, is to get out before it gets worse. There are other people in the world, and one doesn't need to let the sunk cost fallacy dictate...

"I need to... have a proper talk with Shiho." What? No, you don't! She's been awful to you. You should not engage her at all. What are you doing? Stahp! This is like saying, "If someone trolls you on the internet, you should feel responsible for talking sense into them." Totally bogus.

Dang... I swear, being a servant in a noble house is the most dangerous profession in these types of manga. Nobles are always killing them off, left and right.

I see a lot of comparisons to Piggy Duke. Although from what I can tell so far, the supporting cast is very different, and the MC himself has a clear goal. (The supporting cast in Piggy Duke was rather passive, but everyone here seems to be actively driving the story.) Edit: After looking...
