Uh.. draw that damned red portion and problem solved?

 

[Hikage255]

why doesn't bro just make a potion to heal her, he only has to think it up and draw it and it'll be made............................................... shitty writing

Katia ending up like this is naturally better for the story than a full recovery. This certainly makes the Oder infection look more devastating when even someone like Katia couldn't fully beat it. We just have to accept the author's decision to nerf Akira so that he can't heal people easily with summoned potions. At least he got powerful enough to deal with a singularity, so it's not like the author would have shortened his rope from both ends.

Tbh, if the author wanted to not let Akira draw the elixir because of it being too much, that's whatever (though still a bit odd that they brought it up at the start of the arc), but if this arc ends with Katia just ending up like this without recovery it makes the introduction of this completely new+never-mentioned-before macguffin kinda baffling.

Like, going "oh he can't cure her with elixir, it's too powerful... but there's a less all-powerful, more specific potion that can cure her... but he can't make that one either" is just the author making problems for themselves that didn't need to be made in the first place. If the author wanted to keep the "cure Katia" plot point in the wings, I feel like there's other ways they could've handled it that don't just cause more "why can't he draw it" questions (like for example, saying "Mari knows there's a way to turn Oder back but isn't sure what it was, you'll have to search for it", instead of giving her an eyewitness account of the drawable item to just raise more questions, since drawing things from appearance is how his power works).

And if Akira never draws anything except summons again, that just honestly feels like a waste of the premise of the manga to me. My beef with the whole elixir thing isn't that he's less powerful (since the author can make the MC as powerful as needed to beat any enemy they write), it's that his power has become more creatively restricted, if "I can draw things into reality" ends up just meaning "I can summon powerful things without pacts with some tweaking". Like he drew the elixir at the start and referred to it as "Item Drawing", implying it as a more general skill, but he's never used it for anything else since then (the author even going so far as to have him summon swords+armor during the tournament, but instead actually just summoning golems that morphed into that shape, despite obviously having no issue with the powerlevel of Akira having them).

Very good points. The cure indeed could be something else. If it was something that one couldn't even draw, that is, not an item of any sort but rather a way to use magic or something, then it wouldn't be a repeat of the "why can't Akira draw it", like with the elixor. Unless the author still intends to bring back the item drawing, but has been pretty artificially postponing it (since Akira never even tried to sort out of the problem). It's like early jet engine engineers abandoning the whole development process and forgetting all about jet engines simply because the metals they used it for the first time couldn't take the accumulating heat. Instead of trying and developing better alloys, like they did in reality.

I believe I wrote about it before, but I reckon the author didn't initially foresee how problematic Akira's nigh omnipotent power is. As the author kept writing the story further, he finally realised nothing has any meaning if Akira is so powerful. So, the scope was severely limited. At least for the time being. But who knows.

Thanks KB, one volume to go!

If you just skip the text and look only at pictures the story becomes half decent.

 

[ToonLinkHox]

This manga always cracks me up, man. There wouldn't be a story at all if Akira didn't spontaneously create and quite literally chug elixirs like they were energy drinks, but him having done that and then not even considering it as an option afterwards is causing every single incoherence in the story. Author wrote themselves into a corner 97 chapters ago. The story's been floundering since chapter two.

Is there even a point of reading this any more? I'm with everyone else it's completely stupid he didn't just draw the potions to cure everyone chapters ago.

The whole "oh it's too dangerous if anyone finds out" plot point in mangas is always stupid. Like what's the one of having abilities but then not using them?

Literally just lie and say you picked it up on the ground or something who cares.

 

[MangaMeka]

8 more chapters till the gap is closed.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not (just) that it's too dangerous, he literally can't draw them anymore. Unlike his creature drawings, items needed a specially prepared paper used for magic scrolls. Once his full power was restored his magic was too strong for the paper to withstand and burned through it before the drawing could be finished.

If he could find a compatible material he could start making them again, but until then no more deus ex delineatio (god from the drawing).

Few 10 more chapters to go so I can bing the other chapters DX

Or if his nerves were cut off again.. unless the goddess that gave him power is messing with things too. It's just weird writing. I keep saying it, but this artist's talents really are going to waste tbh...

They have a whole army of summoners, all of whom need that paper to do their summoning. Akira's the only one who can just conjure them out of thin air, so they should literally be drowning in the stuff.
