I believe an action scene without purpose is pointless, not even good for filler. We already saw the protagonist and co fight many battles and this one in particular was boring and took up a whole chapter.
Do remember its released at a monthly interval so for 30 days IRL you got virtually no plot development, no character growth, nothing.
The flashy fight, was just that, a generic fight, even if the dragon turns into some harem member later on it could have been over with in a few panels or pages at worst, not a whole chapter.
What did you take away from this chapter? Rawww firebreath, magic "dont take your eyes of the enemy"rawwwwrr firebreath, pew pew pew scales are too tough for small gun... more firebreath... #1 girl thinks she's strong but turn out dragon is "too strong" they get dramatically beat and MC pulls out the unignorable big gun.
It was stupid, didn't serve the plot AT ALL and this is something hard to swallow in a MONTHLY manga considering the previous 2-3 chapters leading up to this. It was suposed to be the payoff for all the exposition given in the previous couple chapters at least by the other party they came with.
