Knight is MIA, but we've seen the mage. She actually showed up before the Hero did, at the end of 13.1, badly beaten, I don't think she's woken up yet. I assume she fought against the Hero or something, and got whapped as a result, and is probably a good guy. Maybe Knight die to help her escape or whatever.

Saintess is alive, and with the Hero, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was revealed to be coerced/brainwashing or something. With the "both the girls secretly loved the MC" trope, I feel like it's most likely either both are good or both are bad, and Morin's probably good.
The mage actually wake up right after mc master come to this world ( she's the one who heal her magic circuit or something ) forgot which chapter but it's after hero vs mc for the first time and mc master come to earth.
Edit : chapter 19 is where mage ( Morin ) wake up

Oh, right, thanks. I forgot that she was the entire reason the MC's crew knew about the hero's backstory in the first place.

Man this used to be so much better at the beginning, but now it's just some shit.
You mean when you had a random naked man wallowing in the alley since he couldn't get laid because of his denseness? Or a bit later?

Even fictional worlds need consistent logic to be believable.

It's fine if some of that logic is hidden, and perhaps revealed later.
But another entirely for it to be made-up and backfilled as author goes along.

This manga is falling deeply into that second, bad, rut.
yeah like for some reason magic and stuff has always been a thing even his brother is involved like why isn't it normal in their world if it's everywhere

and tbh bad guy's plan sucks who's stopping humans to invent guns/internet/electricity again ?

I'm actually more OK with that aspect. Since the Ayakashi were said to be in hiding among humans for milennia .

What I'm not OK with, is now that outside forces (isekai) are greatly disturbing the balance, the "Ayakashi Military" equivalent aren't getting involved. Or if the fox shrine is that, and it's beyond their corrective scope -- the disruptions due to underground war between factions aren't bleeding over into "secular" reality. Triggering repercussions there.

Buildings mysteriously getting destroyed on this scale wouldn't get covered up, even with Ayakashi's power. It would start making news reports, curfews being instated, and more powerful actors (military? government?) would start getting involved. Things would get out of hand -- even for the villains. (Unless they are pure terrorists trying to expose to secular. But then there are more straightforward ways to do that.)

That plus the super-saiyan-like "not even my final form <asspull senzu bean>" really hurts it. There needs to be a corresponding planning time and cost for villains to pay to get their "power ups" -- equivocal to the ones the protagonist has to pay, over the course of tens (or hundreds) of chapters.

And internal plot-consistency has to been maintained why people with these sorts of antagonistic super-powers haven't caused a ruckus and gotten involved, magically, until the moment MC appears. World-building Past and Future have to be logically contiguous.

TL;DR:

There has to be corresponding blowback if (rather with these sorts of comics "when", since "good guy always wins") their plan fails and the bad guys' "Operation Eagle Claw" or "Canadian Caper/Argo" fails spectacularly due to MC's life-or-death resistance.

I hope for once we actually have an antagonist get killed.

So sick of series with Jojo/One Piece/DB-type BS with the bad guy constantly having get out of death tropes. No redemption BS, just kill this dude. :haa:
