I care so little about these characters that I don't know who they are. I don't even remember the names of the girls' who seem to be destined to join the MC's harem, though I recognize one, maybe two on sight.
Like who TF is Abyss and that screaming guy with her?
I suppose we're supposed to feel something like shock or whatever, but I doubt hardly any readers even know who these people are or care in the slightest. It's probably worse from the light novel (web novel?) audience. Seriously, they're so boring and irrelevant to the plot that I just skipped all the parts that weren't focused on the MC...or that hot catgirl. The only reason I'm reading these parts here is because of the fighting.
So the writer is like "See this? Isn't this just horrible and tragic!?" and the audience is like "Who are they?".
