Man... Dostoyevsky...what is he planning this time? Ugh...I'm scared now...

But hey, we haven't seen much of the other members plus the mafia guys...I wonder what happen to them...

Asagiri been killing characters left and right... surely he plans to resurrect them afterwards right? I don't even care if it's gonna be bs, but Kenji my boy needs to be revived..😭😭😭

Daaaaaaamn., First Tanizaki and then Kenji. And suddenly that blight Dostoy-assclown appears, offering Atsushi help. I don't trust that bug at all.

This is getting pretty stupid. I don't know why the author has an obsession with writing themselves into corners and enveloping their antagonists in several layers of plot armor. We just saw an extremely high profile example of this in the manga industry with JJK. That author had the same tendencies and it resulting in their product being a steaming pile of dogshit for the last year and now it's meeting an unceremoniously end. I feel like this work is barreling towards the same style of conclusion.

what they copped out tanizaki’s death only to make him die in the next few panels and then kenji goes?? I think even for a battle that was meant to show how fast people can die that was a bit TOO fast and the author should’ve spent a lil more time giving attention to it cause it wasnt all that impactful ngl
Thanks for the chapter

Great, the plot's screeched to a halt again just so we can see how 'invincible' the antagonist is.🙄
At this point we know the author doesn't have the guts to kill any of the main cast permanently so there's 0 impact on any of these 'deaths' and it's been this way for the past 2 years with all the fake outs (someone on reddit counted 35 lol).

Also, I still lament when Kunikida lost his hands ages ago because him overcoming that would've been such an interesting development, but ofc Yosano magically erased any consequences.😑

I really hope this is the last manga arc and whatever future developments there are come out as light novels (whatever happened to the Grape dude, Agatha Christie and her group, this sudden Naomi backstory??). iirc the author mostly did light novels before BSD and I think it would've benefited more from that format since the beginning.

It's just sad to watch a series I used to love become so dragged out and predicable...
