ok so he started possessing her then his self split in two, one became elrise and the other just went about as normal but from time to time the elrise version would come and control his body

at least thats what I got out of it, pretty confusing tbh

Not only is this manga filled with convenient plot armors and clichés, but now we have to comprehend whatever this cloning sorcery is. One more chapter before I decide to stop reading this

ngl the lore drop was kinda sudden but foreshadowed, kinda want a spin-off of alternate story routes

Elrise and the previous version of him are two different people! Also I didn't expect there to be another witch.

Another witch? Was there another witch introduced already?

I thought when she moved back and forth between two worlds and left him, he would just remain unconscious. That made me concerned that he would starve because of it. But everything seems fine because both appear to share the consciousness, so he seems to be able to feed himself, which is nice.

For those new and being confused about the whole Niito reincarnation thing, I made a spoiler post on previous chs detailing how it works and how it happened.

Spoiler: Regarding Original Scum Elrise

The Elrise we follow and that Niito currently inhabits is.... She's always had Niito's soul in this world/timeline. The Elrise that we've been following was born with only 1 soul, that is Niito's. Later in the story Elrise hears her old caretakers talk about her pre-memory phase (5 years and under) and compares it to the Elrise he knows from the game. OG!Elrise was a malicious evil thing who's actions were to deliberately hurt people. Things like firing people for the smallest slight, ruining their lives, or having them executed, or everything if she could help it. Our Elrise instead was more of a brat, like flipping maid's skirts while running wild and then telling her handlers to place her food and other things next to her in bed because that's how she can most efficiently get to them without moving. Niito remarks how that's exactly how he expects to behave if HE didn't have his old memories and not how OG!Elrise would, which he describes her actions as sticky and unpleasant types.

Author also later confirms in an author post that MC Elrise is genuinely Niito's soul and that the soul that would've originally entered Elrise was instead born to another body that is 100% away from the story.

Everything will become clear in time.

it honestly looks like he improved after they split, wonder if that has implications to what parts of him went...

with the phase this manga going, i don't blame you. Is going to fast that even me as novel reader there's something missing. Well, that's obvious cause this manga literally fast forward the event. It play similarly. But because the fast phase, you don't have time to digest it. You don't have time to feel for pochi back story. I feel like the next important information would also be left undermine like that. It feels like this manga just drop information and that's it. When clearly there some build up. But no body gonna notice it cause how fast phase this manga feels.

Another "the manga did worse than the novel"-

Oh hell naw, I'm not dropping this just because the manga feel like it have some missing holes.

Like a certain God of Thunder said.

ANOTHER ONE!

It's THE witch, the same old witch that'd been there for Elrise to hunt since the beginning.

What just happened

 

[Grye]

I don't get how the possession works still

 

[Flaemes]

I don't get how the possession works still

One soul split between two bodies living in different worlds that are connected to each other through a dimensional rift.
