I am so sick and tired of seeing all this moaning about "progress" and other expectation-laded bullshit. Motherfucker, stop trying to force this story to be something it isn't.
Copied from my post on the recent chapter,
If the "progress" is too slow for you, or you don't like the "filler chapters", or you think Mambagi only exists to motivate Komi, or all of the above- maybe you don't like this series, maybe it isn't for you, and maybe you should stop wasting your time reading something you only engage with in a whiny, negative way. Quit annoying everyone already, just move on along to another manga.
