[UnlikelyVeil]

Ah yes the Neji treatment

 

[Hadski]

Out of every reasons she could have and ofc it's tough love...

 

[Miserys_End]

This is just to remind myself to come back to this manga in a year or so when this clusterF of a fight is over with and I can attempt to enjoy it in one sitting.

 

[BookQueen]

Mc just standing there like 😐.

 

[Legend13]

Thank you for the new chapter today!

 

[SomeGuy10002]

Watch the mc do nothing and then come in and kill the big bad guy in one hit

 

[rwp140]

[SirAuron]

Thanks for the chapter!

The author's attempt to make me sympathize with dear old mom only served to make me glad she's going to die. It was better when she was an unknown variable rather than a confirmed pile of shit.

See, that's just it.
I'm hoping she lives to fulfill her husband's TRUE dying wish, rather than dying to redeem herself; Give Pip enough love to make up for the lack of a father AND her own grief-stricken 'tough "love"'.

Tbh, I don't understand. There are a lot of things that feel forced and, imo, useless: why putting the party against overpowered demons, why giving the mom the sad backstory and the kid the "tough love" backstory, why killing the mom to give the kid a power-up? All this drama and pathos will most likely resolve with the party winning and keep going on their "merry" way.

… I know it’s only been a month, but it feels like I missed a step.

Well, that’s the downside of spartan training. If you don’t provide parental love too, it just builds a resentful crash out.

I mean, it’s parts of the story. Most people in these stories don’t live in a bubble or isolated… well they do, but it doesn’t really make for a normal (or good) adventure story.

You go out, meet new people, deal or don’t deal with their stories, and move on changed by the experience.

 

[Kreate]

Dropped, author is just wasting time, this whole situation is just horribly constructed

You missed my point. Being part of the story doesn't aswer my questions.
The story was nice and nothing was out of place, no impossible situations, no bullshit, everything looked balanced.
But now we have a stupidly strong enemy (3 demons) and a sad backstory that is a plot device to solve the situation: with that "something is awakening", the author already set the stage for Pip to unlock a power up and defeat at least these 2 demons.
Part of the story...sure, I agree, but it's still a plot armor/deus ex machina situation that could be avoided by not inserting a demon general at this point of the story but later.
I won't say it's bad writing, I'm not a writer, author is free to do what he wants...still, I personally feel it could have been made way better

I get it, but what nice and neat story are you comparing this to? Life doesn’t normally wait until you’ve leveled up enough to face adversity. In that case, Sasuke wouldn’t have been facing down Orochimaru in a forrest getting a hickey. Or Goku wouldn’t have gotten his son stolen by Radditz.

Plenty of writers insert these explosive elements into their story to promote such drastic growth to the characters. But I get your point about the writing.

 

[NeverAnother]

This manga is such a meme now I can’t even.

I mean, you can find stories that have a normal pacing. Sure, those stories are wrote like that, to have a steady progression. But it's not that I'm comparing this manga to those. Every story is different, of course.
What I'm saying is only that I find this type of writing bad and I ask why. It's an opinion, a personal one. And it's also a critique, for sure. Just as much as I say this to every manga/chapter where I see something like this. I hope it's clear that I'm not saying you have "shitty tastes if you like this trope".

I didn’t think you were. It was just a discussion of different points of view, nothing more. I mainly wanted to point out that although all things should be, not all stories are perfectly balanced.
