I uh. For a while I thought this manga was floundering. But once he got the teaching position and is able to strut a bit from a position of respect, suddenly it doesn’t feel so painful to read anymore.
Like everything before this was angst, inferiority complex, everyone looking down on him, my daughters!!!!, angst, etc etc. and I get that was to build the foundation and push growth but…it was just not great to read. And so was the whole spirit trial. The way he actually overcame the spirit was great, but the entire span of the battle just felt so contrived.
This though, this was great. I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.
Thanks for the translation!
