It was hilarious when they were pretending the duke was fighting under the gravity spell when it doesn't affect him at all. It was said it only affects Katya and the princess, so everyone else, including the duke or Akira, should he ever bother to appear, won't be affected.

Too bad about Katya, getting the zombie infection.

I'm just skimming these until MC shows up. Until then, the stakes are thoroughly dead. I'd write something longer and wittier, but it's just not worth it. Apologies to KittyBlue9, your uploads are well done, and this isn't meant to discourage you from working on the series, but there's only so much to be done with a plot as shoddy and formulaic as this.

Wanna bet Akira's gonna find a way to reverse the Oder curse/infection/whatever? I haven't read ahead, so I genuinely don't know whether she makes it or not, but something tells me this story lacks the balls for that kind of permanent consequence.

I'd say the chances of you being correct must be 9-1. This doesn't seem like the kind of story where Akira would be left with the unpleasant task of ending Katya's suffering and disgrace in front of the princess's eyes.

I do get what your saying, although at the same time even if something is predictably going to happen I still like to know how and what that event will result into. Like the saying goes, It's not about the destination, it's the journey.

"I'm so evil I will monolog about how powerful I am and not just kill you quickly" holy shit the writing is so bad.

The main thing I dislike about Im-Dal Young’s stories is that, even if they’re good in general, they really take their sweet time showing other characters suffering before bringing in the MC to save the day. If that was shorter, or if the side characters actually had meaningful or exciting growth arcs themselves, it wouldn’t be as bad.

So did anyone else skip over the untranslated chapters to see what happens with Katia?

Chapter 121 page 12 makes it fairly clear that it's "she lives but now they have to find a cure for her"

Yeah. instead he could have said this. "I do not like to fight you but i have to... after all it is war." and then shut up.. no looooong monolog how huge his ego is.

This author really loves just absolutely milking making side characters suffer in each arc. Like 5 chapters of each side character getting mercilessly humiliated and destroyed

this is getting increasingly more stupid

but what can you do, i'm already all in on this bs
i was gonna comment this, this whole "oh look there's a more EEEEVILLL AND POWERFULLLL ENEMY" (insert dr evil with his pinky finger in his mouth)/ACCORDING TO KEIKAKUUUUU is horseshit.

Bad cliched storytelling

I don't think this is really even a question, tbh. Don't forget that the whole basis of this series is the MC powering up by chugging the infinite supply of elixirs he has access to. In this series all it's been explicitly stated that elixirs do afaik is hp/mp recovery (and max increase), but elixirs are commonly magical cure-alls in fantasy.

So this plot development's less trying to create "oh no, will Katya make it" BS drama, and more foreshadowing "oh no, Akira will have to spill the beans a bit on the true extent of his 'summon' ability when he just pulls an elixir out of nowhere to save her". They also made sure at the start of this arc to bring up the time Akira used an elixir in front of Medisfina as a kid, to show that she had suspicions about what he actually did there but wasn't actually sure what he did, so it's likely to come up again.

Bad writing is one thing, but this isn't really what's happening either here imo. This guy showing up and going "oho look at me I'm so much more powerful than you puny heroes, I'm a singularity!" is pretty much something that was teased in the first arc of the manga. Akira himself was hinted as being a singularity even all the way back then, and the "shadows" mentioned in the backstory here were too, with his maid being one of them (who sealed his power to keep him away from all this BS she knew was out there).

So this isn't like a series like DBZ or whatever where they just invent new power levels that trump the previously established max, this is all stuff that's been going on since the start, along with heroes being established as being kinda watered down from their original bloodline.
