It does seem like it's turning more and more into a stream of consciousness than a plotline.
And most of the characters only seem to be useful for the occasional cameo. I'm still a little salty that after the MC saved Daisy, the author couldn't even wait until the end of the chapter to write her out of the story again. Still, I'll probably keep an eye on it, even though I'm not terribly invested at this point.
I sometimes wonder if the disjointed nature of classic Chinese stories like
Journey to the West is an influence on stories like this. A lot of manhua seem to ramble on with no apparent overarching plotline.
