Okay, it's official. The MC has gone from less-than-nobody to godlike hero way way way too fast. The growth curve has been ridiculous. There's no real feeling of threat or danger anymore, since all the writer has to do is pull some random buzzwords out of the air to explain how the MC escaped the unescapable foe by the skin of his teeth.
It's okay to have uber-powerful MCs, but that power needs to feel earned and that power needs to be something the reader comprehends. And even this can be waved away if the MC and his side characters are fun to read about, but here everyone is just super serious one-note characters who have had no time to develop. The dark elf they just killed off has had more of a character arc in a couple pages of flashbacks. I'd rather have read more about the dark elf than this bunch of zero-dimensional nobodies whose names I can't even remember.
I don't even hate this manga. I've just become completely uninterested. I'm giving it a rating of 4-Bad, unsubscribing, and forgetting it ever existed. Best of luck to the rest of you.

Besides being an absurd ramp up of difficulty and stakes, this just seems like a baffling explanation of the dungeons being "out of order".
Let's say they were strong enough to "correctly" kill the dark elf and got the universal translator device - by the time they'd get around to using the thing on the recipe (likely long after both that battle and this new stampede is over) they'd only then find out that the recipe needs dark elf blood in the first place, which would be practically impossible since the only dark elf had been long dead. The only other ways would be to find another dark elf (if any even exists), or to have harvested blood from the dark elf's body immediately after the fight without knowing if there'd even be any purpose in doing so - and that's assuming the dark elf's body is in a state where blood can be harvested at all.
All this to say that the MC feeling all self-loathing and guilty for "breaking" the dungeons is really lame and feels pointless, especially when it lasts for all of a few panels.
