This series has been going on for nearly 70 chapters now, and it's pretty good, pretty well-written, and with a cool premise. Even still, I feel like there's just some spark that it's edging close to, but not yet reaching, that'd make it a hit. I don't know if it's too late now with how long it's been going on, my instinct is that with a proper consistent overarching antagonistic force (beyond the demon king), or some way of making the journey itself feel more substantial or higher-stakes, even if the flashbacks are pretty good. Right now it kinda feels like we get a lot of lore, then the final battle with whatever form the demon king is, then repeat.

I think the spark that's missing is actual consequences
"It doesn't matter how badly things get, we can always use [revolve] and try again"
its greatest premise is also it's weakness, and the author trying to dance around that is almost perfect, but only almost
Except there are actual consequences. Revolve has limits, and we know what happens when you pass those limits. This entire chapter was about the consequences.

Albus himself is probably still on his last loop himself, having used all of his loops trying to save Fiona.

Bitch, you ain't got time to grieve, you've got a literal time limit and every second counts. :mad:

If Fiona can remember all of the past loop, does that mean the other members of the party do too? If so, this one is probably going to be an even quicker speedrun than the last lmao

Thanks for the TL
yeah, so he doesn't repeat the arcs, is probably doing it like that the author, specially since Rayman getting off from their reality, is making it clear that the price of too much resolve was always real and they lost someone "permanently"

Revolve used to have consequences. This past arc has shown us that any new character can be pulled from the ether and used as a revolve battery until they run out, leading to a potential trap of introduce new character => make them use their revolve until they disappear => repeat.
