This rings so true now that the MC has now openly held a sacred cultural artefact of a foreign culture directly in front of its two members while threatening to steal their cultural techniques, and the story runs that as a positive. Otherwise MC is shit. No personality, no thoughts. Just a get...

maybe i'm growing insane for still following this but that merchant just signed his own death warrant for basically no reason whatsoever also - sora - 'i want to save the people next to me there is no place for calculations in this' could really have fit in better in the chapter where you were...

So… how fast is the story going to reveal that for some reason the group is in fact ‘truly’ evil and that the whole system is fine It’s been so. Plainly obvious that it isn’t even a twist or a reveal so much as it is the story really dragging its feet to show the most banal bs ever; but it just...

About ~20 chapters ago I said that this entire thing was derailed by the twist and escalation of the plot for no good reason, and I’m sticking to that. Granted - it’s been handled well. Not amazing - Koga’s secret reveal and everything have kinda undermined AST’s original presentation. It’s...

This was already mediocre pabble, but adding on a defence of slavery to minimize the lead’s guilt over participating in it is really fantastic. For god’s sake, have Sora grapple with his participation. Or maybe he’s viscerally repulsed. Maybe it’s a new character flaw we discover, that he’s too...

Look. This is a lie. You cannot say ‘extreme poverty was at about 94%’ because prior to the establishment of capitalism the modern concept of poverty did not yet exist. Modern poverty is directly linked to fiat currencies and their domination over all socio-economic transactions. Conversely...

Hopefully. That said, I'll register that i'm quickly losing hope; All the major plot threads were abandoned and this new one is... weak. it's extremely weak. It basically reset all of the discussion about corporate alienation and not feeling like you're enough in ultracapitalist society in favor...

I'm of the same opinion. Magilumiere literally just. Murdering its own momentum and the developing relationship between the characters for this bullshit dropped my rating to a 6 but every new twist has continued to lower it. It is insulting to the author, who clearly had much better ideas, and...

plot twist is unheard of and just eviscerates the story's momentum for no reason. It's pain, since it was building to something - and the substitute is still handled well? it just betrays expectations badly

Writing at 6 chapters (and made a comment account specifically for it): I'm literally just waiting for all the pretenses of the interesting premise to drop at this point Like 'world was invaded by demons everywhere' and shop mechanic are a weirdly fun contrast, but the world doesn't seem like...
