This escalated quickly
Lmao this manga has just been mostly silly since the embarrassing attempt to make the witches sympathetic but I feel like the MAGA thing is the author telling us they've given up. Why not, I'm along for the ride. I hope it ends with a "akshully the humans were the real demons the whole time" theme or something. 3deep5me

Bruh, the attempts to make witches sympathetic didn't really work out, and seeing how twisted humanity is at almost every turn and how good people are rewarded with evil and are constantly dying or subjected to terrible fates trying to do the right thing, makes one wonder if God had a point in wanting to reset humanity.

Wow, this is like, exactly what I'd expect, a "this happened, then this happened", detailed in 3rd person
*1 Author:
(A new for me, such extreme "tragedy" being treated like a series of events, it's like it's some slow life isekai, you can flip it, and make everyone happy, still, don't give a shit, means nothing, viewer isn't given reason to care about the world)
Unless I missed something, it doesn't do dictatorship well, at all, if anything it's an insulting injustice, a "those damn Germans... Italians... Chinese... Russians... Americans... Japanese... were just dumb, unlike me", insane narcissism
(Basic good story beat is "I was wrong?", where main character isn't omniscient, could look at ending to "Steins;Gate", very well done, because he doesn't know everything, or "Silent voice (movie)" too, not always being right, it's a great dynamic (Early CSM too with Denji and Power, not knowing, is a really good dynamic, basically mystery))
(Very strange the "I'm not like other women", the fuck? author not realise they're pulling exact same "I'm not like others" with slandering propaganda? hypocritical, image below*1)
Peak "shallow tragedy", there's zero suspense, tension, and it even brushes over rape with the whole "world doomed, everyone evil", just like "Fire punch" (awful), just bad things happening for sake of it, no weight
(I don't give a shit about a "page 1 character" begging, "page 2 character" being raped (How can anyone? This also retroactively reduces the weight of past rapes, re-reading will be worse, not only because you now understand how it's treated (lightly), but because it's treated commonly, you're conditioned to it*2))
I really hope it's wrapping up, I can't really stand how shit it is
Wouldn't have minded a few chapters of a side character, that is then killed or whatever, sure it's a "Why bother showing this", but if enough thought and care was given to the character, and not treated like a side character, to then see potential cut short, that'd be a good tragedy
(A basic child going to school, having a crush, pet is becoming old, wanting to spend as much time as they can with the pet, maybe parent is calm as they're already enjoying as much time as they can with their child (Parent loves their child more than the child loves their parent, as their child was never always in their life, but the parent was to the child, conditioned, again) to then be killed or whatever you want, flooded, I don't care, all is lost, all die, and, if you want to tug on heartstrings even more, give the parent flashbacks to the joys of the child being born as they're dying (maybe the child gets mad at their parent of "You don't love me" storming out the house over something petty, as a child would, a "You're wrong, I've always loved you"), contrasting death with life, loss and love)
If the main character had a sense of home, there'd be a sense of loss when it's destroyed, but because he's nomadic, nowhere holds value... no, "I live on earth" doesn't work
There's just no reason to care, no character had a hand in anything, it's like blowing up Mars, who cares, you'd have to try to care
(*2"Conditioning" is a pretty important aspect of everyday life, reason why birthdays, Christmases, etc, feel less special is because we've been conditioned to them, experience/precedent/history, goes for anything, you've probably tried your favourite food, or was, your favourite food, and it no longer tastes the same, it's probably why old people eat olives, a lot of flavour (even if you can't recall, you remember, your "gut instinct", no one is above it), point being, viewer's conditioned to not care about anyone, we know they won't die, and they'll do things we'd never do, it's like some robot working in a factory, cool, look at it, move on (This story also doesn't do conditioning well, immortals well, an immortal spent their entire life doing X? somehow still surprising, it's like if you had a birthday everyday, then were surprised on the 9,356th, it just doesn't work like that))
