I think yall are too exhausted from this story. I chose to take it as: the mc weakened the boss, cutting it in half is no small feat and requires a lot of energy to come back from. It's not that the MC is weaker than the crafter, it's that fighting a raid-boss alone is crazy. The crafter came up...

One of my fav scenes from the WN, is when someone looks into Shiro's eyes, and it's described as an infinitely deep space of fractalled eyes, where when you gaze upon one it reveals 8 more, swallowing you whole; which is also why she tends to keep her eyes shut. Just 8 pupils stuck together...

It's so lacking, it genuinely came across as the author just wanting a clean slate to write the new scenario with, with no "extra baggage".

"It's even better than sex, don't you know?!" Sir I'm like 12 please stop that.

When I saw the sudden genderbend, I scrolled up to see if this is 21.5 omake or something. Nope. Actual canon chapter. Man, this story really is running on fumes. The author even felt it necessary to have yet another antagonistic knight thrown in.

The "problem" being is that this plot point is literally copy pasted across 80% of "Got kicked out of my party" kind of stories. It's actually quite remarkable. You can literay make a bingo out of this shit. Because of course the arsehat that kicked the MC, fails, and turns into a demon.

And dedicating 1-2 pages just to illustrate that point, on how plausible it is that "god made it better, because god's imagination is so much more vivid than our own", is why it's bad writing. If all the author wanted to do was to pull a: "actually I dunno", could've just said that and...

I don't think it has anything to do with self-insertion, but more to do with: "If the MC is as neutral as possible, then it's incredibly easy to write him into literally any situation ever, and he'd just get dragged along with it. An MC with a personality is more difficult to write." Anyway, I...

"how come our phones still work" "because god made it better" That's a question and an answer.

That's literally why it's a shitty explanation, and a cop out... It's not interesting, and comes across as trying to solve a problem that didn't need solving.

This is probably the most straightforward "Eh, it's alright.." read I've seen in a while.

It's always a blast to read a story that basically goes: "Hitler did nothing wrong", and you have to remind yourself: "No, wait, hold on, that's still Hitler". :v (Of course the analogy doesn't really quite work here) Solid villain backstory though. That being said, the explanation about "why...

Will this story have an arc that's longer than 2 chapters? Place your bets!

I agree the last fight was anything but grounded, yes. And I am clearly not too invested in the story, overall I agree with what you wrote there.

Well, to be fair, I was reading this on-and-off, so I don't have 20/20 vision on this one -- but it sure didn't felt like the author had any more punches to pull with the power levels. "Wyze", as a tool, stopped being worked on in the last arc. The MC even fused 2 wyze-methods together, and then...
