Hazure Skill "Kage ga Usui" o Motsu Guild Shokuin ga, Jitsuwa Densetsu no Ansatsusha - Ch. 42 - The Fate of the Colosseum (Part 2)

Man, that explosion was kind of out of nowhere. If it killed prisoners it sucks. If it killed a lot of corrupt nobles its a huge mess (but a cool huge mess). I bet we wont hear anything about the implications either.

Any way I see this it kinda sucked

yeah me too, i was expecting at least some good ole' fashioned torture and maiming, something that leaves not many scars but leaves him traumatized

well he already did that to the noble that was controling the vampire lady, so doing it again would be repetitive(?)... I was also expecting some torture, bastard didn't lose any teeth

I know that MC's 'demonlord slayer' achievement is secret and only selective people including us reader knew about it but its so funny to see 'O so great noble' or some Mr. Important try to use every trick in the book to scare/threaten MC and ridiculously fail every single time. LOL

Think you've fundamentally misunderstood my comment. I wasn't looking for the MC to do more fix anything, only that the resolution was slightly underwhelming with how little of the noble's fate was presented.

The dud goes off on a page long diatribe and our reward for suffering thrue it is seeing him hung by the scruff like a naughty cat, and told it's now the king's problem...

I see... Hmm...

While I do like nice cathartic revenge that solves the problem, I also like having an MC who can't solve (or doesn't want to) solve all the problems.

Earlier in this arc, when the MC goes to see the king, he interrupts the king while he's banging some strumpet, and then the king goes into the reality that this fiefdom provides 1/4 of the finances for the kingdom. That's some reality that can't just be brushed off. Offing the noble might cause more misery than it resolves. And it shows that the king is not bad, but he's also somewhat weak.

True, we don't get the catharsis, but I appreciate the author not going "brute force solves all problems" route.

Finished dealing with the problem in only one night. Very time-efficient.

Wtf that's it? The most powerful family in the Kingdom, just like that?

MC needs a better class of villains/plot conflicts

Even the stories of him handling issues at the guild had more complexity and nuance than speedrunning this corrupt noble arc

On top of that, it's on another lord property. Imagine waking up to someone creating an illegal den in your territory for years, and it burning down your whole forest & spreading.


Oh, is that just California right now?
