Pilse is such a great character, people are really sleeping on this series.
Also nobody is mentioning it but Mary the maid is such a chad stepping up in front of a hero to defend Pilse, i hope she gets more screen time
All the other manga, game and anime references were kinda mainstream but I never expected to see Fuan no Tane mentioned in another manga, love to see it
I really like the pacing of the series so far, the downtime between arcs lets you get to know the characters quite well, which in turn makes the heavy parts of the arcs have a lot more impact
