i think you should give that scene more credit. she wasn’t just “suddenly stabbing a thing with her hand”, she was emerging from her cocoon! like, literally lol.I don’t know. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by other manga, but this feels like something that deserved more in the composition department. Yeah she awakened, but does just seeing her awaken and suddenly stab a thing with her hand have the emotional weight and release that this scene could have had. It just feels like it could have had more. I’m still going to keep reading, but I just feel a little underwhelmed by this chapter.
That monster looks more like a miss to me.Promise of more despair than she already had? Yeah, mister monster, maybe a NO to that. Like, how can it get worse from here on!?
I was JUST thinking about that, considering that the night before when the queen made eye contact with her she got a big reaction out of that too. And also the tiny breakdown Reika had at the beginning feels like her realizing she’s loosing controlI wonder if the obsession her former friend has with the Queen character is her will or mind control/mental manipulation/obedience that is the nature of bugs, pheromones etc. I wonder if MC will become a power equal or greater than the Queen, or if the Queen will become obsessed with her. I still have no real idea where this story is going. Author keeps their cards close to their chest.
