it's different, like how Shounen fans dissing Slices of Life works. This more like rugpull situation, where it started light hearted comedy turned shitty ntr bait dumb protag.Or maybe, just maybe, different cultures appreciate different things.
I can understand that there’s a demographic that enjoys these kinds of plots or pacing, and that is totally fine.
Something that I notice is that westerners like to complain a lot more, and people like to jump on the bandwagon when it happens.
It’s rare to see people appreciate things and avoid complaining. Looking at this thread and many other threads, there aren’t that many that voices their appreciation for e.gl TLs compared to comments complaining about something, or when a good chapter gets released (unless it offers big fanservice).
I'm not a westerner, and not sure why you repeated my comment as well since I said I was curious whether it is just a mismatch in the intended demographic. It's like the very controversial genre of ntr, not everyone likes it but just because it is ntr doesn't make it bad. It's simply targetted towards different audience. If this arc as a whole is truly great in the eyes of their JP audience it means that I'm just reading the wrong series for me.Or maybe, just maybe, different cultures appreciate different things.

The last page feels like Ntr. I hate it.
Even during damage control, author just can't help himself. What a fucking hack. There must be a limit for howmuch you jerk off your own character. This one is just willing to run his own money maker to the ground.@BotchoRanallo @Nehona @Septazia @Knighto @Ingway @Mangamoz @TSilentOne @wosisjnwsksjw @Imryse @YamiryuuZero @absoluteAquarian @PsychoJing @Caboov @Rafalga @Shirt
Lesson 37: Drako's Objective
The chapter picks up right where the previous one left off, with Claudia, Alice, Aria, Washio, and Drako facing off against Julius.
Drako: You're surrounded by monster girls and Washi-chan. Just give up already, Julius.
Wahio: Wait a second, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Drako: Come on, you don’t get it at all. You're no fun, Washi-chan.
Aria: Oh, Drako — so you really are on our side after all.
Claudia: Why didn’t you tell me sooner?! I would’ve helped!
Drako: Sorry for keeping quiet. I really didn’t want to drag you into this. But it’s been exposed already... I’ll reveal my true identity!
As she says this, Drako pulls out an armband with a cross in the middle and laurel leaves around it, then puts it on her arm.
Washio: An armband? What was it again...? I’ve seen it before, but... That's the enforcer's emblem.
Julius: That's not all. The pin bears the kingdom’s emblem. In other words, she's from the Royal Special Enforcer — Order.
Drako: Correct! I’m a member of Order. I came to this academy to investigate Julius. Twenty years ago, he stole the Monstrol Factor research from the Proditio Institute—their most precious breakthrough—and vanished.
Drako: It’s suspected that he’s the same person as Julius Specter. I did all sorts of things to get evidence, and I ended up getting quite a bit. Thanks for giving me so many shots.
(TL note: shots, like injections.)
Drako: Surprised the factor activator didn’t work? I’ve already cleared that part.
Julius is smiling.
Claudia or Aria: So many!?!?! How many shots did he inject you with!?
Drako: It was only three or four shots, but it’s fine, it’s fine. Actually, my skin’s gotten smoother, and my scales on my tail are looking better too.
Claudia or Aria: What’s that? I’m jealous! I want to get them too. I’ve been getting pimples lately, and I want to clear them up.
Drako: Stop it. You guys haven’t undergone special training, have you?
(TL note: In this panel, Drako’s got that afterglow on her face, the kind you usually see on girls after sex. Not sure that was a great choice, Mr. Author. Multiple shots from Julius, plus the afterglow... Ugh.)
Drako: When you inject the factor activator, it causes muscle spasms and seizures throughout the entire body. After that, you’ll be struck by an intense sense of debilitation and become unable to move.
Drako: How about that, Julius? That performance was perfect, right?
(In the panel next to the last line, Julius remembers the scene from Chapter 30 where Drako’s sitting on his lap.)
Julius: Yeah, I totally got fooled.
Julius: I can’t believe that the date and the way you were so sweet with me were all lies... We even kissed...
(TL note: In this panel, Julius is playing the victim for comedic effect. Ugh.)
Claudia or Aria: K-k-kiss!
Aria (probably): How shameless! This is utterly disgraceful!
Claudia (probably): You kissed someone you don’t like for the investigation!?!?
Drako: I didn’t! Don’t say such ridiculous things!
Aria (probably): That's a crime, Professor Julius.
Julius: Forgotten already? That’s awful...
Drako: Really, stop it!!! Please believe me, Washi-chan! I swear I didn’t kiss anyone!
Washio: Alright, I get it.
Drako: Well, you said a bunch of nonsense, but... surrender quietly and get arrested, Julius.
Julius: So, did you think you outsmarted me? The factor activator I administered to you has been continuously improved day by day.
Julius: It’s finally complete.
As Julius says the last line, he snaps his fingers, triggering a reaction from Drako.
Washio: ...Drako?
Washio grabs Drako by the shoulders.
Washio: No way... It's fine! Calm down.
Drako is transforming and grabs Washio’s face with a hand now fully transformed into a dragon claw. We can see Washio saying "Drako" behind the claw.
Drako lets out a scream, as if releasing power. She now has wings, a larger tail, both her hands are dragon claws, and she's emitting a black aura. She is still holding Washio’s face.
Claudia: What’s this black thing...!?
Aria: This is what a rampage state looks like!?
The chapter ends with Julius wearing a very pleased expression as he says:
Julius: Wonderful! The experiment was a success! Show me more! Your despair!!
Insight: While Drako's explanation kinda makes sense, the chapter itself fell completely flat for me. The jarring tonal shifts just didn’t work — it felt messy and inconsistent.
well ok then, I am done. thanks.@BotchoRanallo @Nehona @Septazia @Knighto @Ingway @Mangamoz @TSilentOne @wosisjnwsksjw @Imryse @YamiryuuZero @absoluteAquarian @PsychoJing @Caboov @Rafalga @Shirt

this spoiler makes me realize the author seems to have a thing for NTR even if he tries to hide it within jokes it's pretty obvious at this point, sorry but I can't stand this show anymore. This arc will end eventually and probable a slice of arc will come after but he will most likely bring these ntr feeling again just to generate rage engagement with the audience@BotchoRanallo @Nehona @Septazia @Knighto @Ingway @Mangamoz @TSilentOne @wosisjnwsksjw @Imryse @YamiryuuZero @absoluteAquarian @PsychoJing @Caboov @Rafalga @Shirt

Man, and here I thought that Drako would be immune to the drug and hence Julius's plans got foiled.

Why? It took a long time to introduce the whole harem, the MC despite being so experienced lets everyone walk over him like a awkward teenager when he has experienced 2 lives already, every chapter has so little happening, no comedy, no romance. Remember when he was pondering about deleting that monster girl's feelings for him?Ngl, before this BS Arc id have rated this a 8-9, but now its a 3-4 at most.
