Every new chapter of this finds a brand new way to piss me off. I hate every plot development, almost every character motivation and decision. It's all fucking awful.

Theres only so long I can keep reading something for a well drawn naked dragon lady wearing way too little clothing

If you're looking at a high level, you're absolutely right. But insecurities are deeper than "I'm insecure because Gary said I suck, so if I beat Gary I won't be insecure anymore!"

Dion said "If I stop here, while being looked down on, my blood will never stop boiling" which, when translated from Edgelord into English, is: "If I give up now, while being looked down on, I'll never grow past this."

He's been beaten down and trampled on until he had little self-esteem left. He's finally starting to believe in himself and ran into an opponent who is looking down on him the way his tormentors did, triggering a trauma response. He believes that he needs to beat this guy on his own or everything everyone said about him will be true (which, it's not. As you pointed out, he's already more than proven himself to everyone... everyone but himself, and no one is a harsher critic about you than you)
Which is honestly also just dumb. Far better character growth would have been "Yes, I acknowledge you are a strong opponent I can't beat at this time. I accept this but won't let this drag me down, I will surpass you someday!" This would also set up a future antagonist and growth, which at this point is needed since he has surpassed the initial antagonists, his former party.

Instead, we have stubborn foolishness risking the lives of everyone present for essentially just ego. He doesn't even know if his dragon wife can beat this monster on her own should he fail. Instead of training with his waifu or the guild leader to get stronger, he chooses an extreme life or death situation to refuse the help of others. I would almost prefer Dion to get a humbling beatdown over his stubborness winning the day.

It becomes gay and cringe when you have like 10 powerups within 5 chapters

The problem is a lack of setup in getting to this point. Maybe it's set up better in the novel but definitely not in the manga. The inferiority complex he is showing in this chapter comes out of almost nowhere and is completely unwarranted. A smart warrior would know working together is better than a very high chance of dying. At this stage of the fight, it's no longer showcasing heroic tenacity and will- it's just showcasing dumb machoism.
Did you... miss the earlier parts of the manga where all he had was an inferiority complex? Doesn't seem out of left field to me that it would come back now that hes facing an opponent he can't just beat without strategy and training.

Dion, buddy, at this point if you asked for "assistance" nobody will even look down upon you. Whoever still do is a complete PoS and we can just turn that person into mince meat and nobody will even question that. The boss is just "that's some bullshit" personified so I believe it's okay now, you've proven enough already.

It's funny that when seeing the scale of who Dion fought until this point when put his strength into consideration, it's like he fought level 1 boss and then right after he fight literally the last boss which usually is a scripted where you should fail but I guess Dion is aiming for that secret ending

Sure, which means the battle has dragged on for so long that his inferiority complex is basically forgotten about. Also, that does not change how poorly it is being handled.

I love the way Dion's speech bubbles are blood-spattered, given he's spitting up blood every time he talks. It's a really neat effect that shows how hard he's pushing himself.

But this entire arc is too damn long. Not just the fight, but the whole "S-Class Dungeon pretending to be a B-Class Dungeon to lure in prey" arc. It's been upwards of twenty chapters at this point.

same, he will grab his swords and go for the real kill, as a healer he can afford that recklessness
he mentioned his healing isn't working right now.
I'm ngl I feel like this arc has been longer than it should have been, why is this dude so dam strong, dude acts like the final boss of a series, makes no sense :nyoron:
because he essentially is. that was the whole point this is what an upleveled dungeon looks like and why it's important for the surveillance team to do it's job
credit where credit is due: this fight IS amazing

it's just ya know IT HAS OVER STAYED IT'S FUCKING WELCOME FFS AUTHOR
if you wanted to show you can do an epic fight in your goddamn manga author then congratu-fucking-lations you did it! NOW BE DONE WITH IT ALREADY AND CONTINUE ON WITH THE GODDAMN STORY FUCK
this is not ONE FIGHT. this is 3-4 fights and while it has been going on for a while if you played it out in real life it would realistically only be about 5 minutes.

you want to bitch about fights overstaying their welcome go read dragonball or jojo. then you can complain.
The story has not stalled for this fight either Dion is showing his growth Yuki had her worldview shattered and blames herself for letting the assholes into the party and the assholes got a reality check and much Karma.

and we got an amazing villian and a very cool fight which you seem to be aware of.

Yeah, there's better ways for it to be handled for sure. Wasn't trying to defend that. Just trying to point out the nuance behind the obvious

bro even you can't ignore the fight (or fights apparently) could have been done 9x shorter than what is currently dragged out!
and 1: DB is pretty much known for that at this point (idfk about jojo, haven't felt the need to read it) and 2: all i'm complain about is this fight was (imo) extra af! i mean at the end of the day the author could have the same achieved/better result by making it the fights shorter! also i think the villian while epic af just felt unnecessarily to have this much strength and imo felt out of the blue, if the author wanted a str boss to reality check the party then why not an orc or a dragon instead? any of those would have work their role just fine just not again extra af, but is it what it sadly is at this point i'm just going with the flow and hope the fight is over in the next ch

The title of this chapter pretty much tells how I'm feeling about this arc.
