Thank you for the translation!

Page 1 is parallel to chapter 66. So the sacrificial girl in the village is legit?

Honestly nah. The manga peaked when the novel adaptation ended. Everything from that point onwards feels like a very rapid and sloppy powercreep. The MC is now literally useless, and we haven’t seen him do much in volumes.

We’re in the FFXIV equivalent of being in the 2.x patches between ARR and HW. The filler slog bit that everyone encourages you to breeze thru AFAP because holy shit it’s a drag.

Respectfully, disagree. I don't mind that Alan is taking a break on the sidelines to expand on the lore for a bit, because it feels like the set up to a much bigger arc involving the actual bug war. Based on what others have shared of where the novel ends, I don't think it would have been satisfying to end things there, so I'll take it and see where the author wants to go.

Personally, it feels more like the Elpis arc of Endwalker just before Meteion goes batshit crazy. The WoL was pretty much a spectator through all of that, but it provided context for what was coming next.

I get they're trying new things in this arc but I miss the old series for sure.

This is all still in flashback ?

this had jumped the shark and landed in the garbage. like what even is this anymore. this really should have been axed when the novel stopped.

Hmm, I feel like this is similar to Sōkyū no Fafner. The Festum start off as a hive mind, but as humans keep fighting back, they gradually learn emotions and individualism—like sadness, pain, and anger—until eventually, Soushi and Koyo, who were assimilated by the Festum, manage to break free as separate individuals.

Yknow it't be funny if it was revealed that these bugs are created/mutations caused by the goddess(?)

its rare to see soemone mention Fafner in Azure. but it would be interesting if thats the direction the manga will take since the galactic war seems to be in stalemate or even losing gradually for human empire . or at least it would give that girl actual explanation to her confusing allegiance for now.

So, the Valkians are the bugs, some aberration of technology gone awry, or something altogether different?

Before the timeskip I thought this was more like The Book of the new Sun, now I'm not so sure.
