I think I’m enjoying the manga more with the latest chapters. Regardless of any new cast member, the way the people around MC are making him reflect on his transformation is a nice development I didn’t expect
He’s just reinforcing the notion that FMC moved just because it was her grandfathers will, so out of obligation, which is exactly what MC fears.
The only solution to this situation is that FMC makes clear that she’s with MC out of love/her own.
Eh, the old elf turned out to be a beautiful lady??!??! The author insisted in doing nothing interesting and defaulted into the safest most lame cliche of isekai: sudden hot girl companion
The only downside I find with the official publisher site is that if I’m not up to date I can’t read the episodes without the app and an account, so I get you.
Hopefully one day it gets a physical release wherever you are so you can enjoy this story again
