Adachi getting away with everything is probably my biggest with this manga. Not the torture porn.
As ultimately she is presented as being on the "good" side when she's just as bad if not worse than Akiba. She is first characterized as someone who enjoys torturing others, constantly trash-talking and full of narcissism, a femcel who wants to obtain dominance over others no matter what with hypocrisy strewn across every piece of her dialogue (everything she insults Akiba for can be reflected on her). Ontop of this, her sexual harassment towards Shibuya is alot more daring but treated as a gag to be laughed off of. It's almost as if just because she's female, all the horrible gooner shit is A-OK. Yet she is still rewarded for these actions towards the end of the manga here. She easily recovers from broken mindset, legitimately gains an animanga-tier relationship with our FMC Shibuya and beats the "incel psychopath" main character. This is bullshit, if you're going to have fucked up characters like this, you can't glorify one over the other. Akiba deserved everything that happened to him but it feels highly aggravating that Adachi escaped all consequences when she's far worse of a scummy filth.
Personally, this is the least cathartic, least satisfying part of the manga for me.
