[XNFEdayo]

Can someone tell me if this gets better? I feel like this whole arc has the stakes set too high. I don’t really see how it could get better

Honestly, the stakes have been high since she found out about the world's eventually demise. This is just more of a "this could do it now rather than later" type of thing. And for her, her life has been in a constant state of danger since chapter 1. So it's like an adrenaline rush 85% of the time with the remaining 15% being comedy.

 

[SilverTitania]

Mr.Shithead back at it again baby

 

[ivv]

damn, Potimas giving our girl Trust Issues,,,

 

[wisemanro]

how the shitty elf get away with this when Demon king saw MC shoot a weapon from him & turn into dust.

 

[Nolonar]

Yeah, I'm seriously starting to doubt the part about someone else building it merely based on his plans. I feel like he was integrally involved in the project. And he most certainly has the means to stop it quickly. He wouldn't allow someone else to use ©Potimas designs to attack the elves successfully, that would be beyond reckless and stupid.

Agreed. Even if he didn't take part in the building process, he still designed a weapon that can end the very same world he lives in. There's no way he wouldn't have hidden a backdoor or limiter to prevent just that. I don't think Potimas is being completely upfront with them.

 

[AAA1]

I am beyond not invested in any of this. The only thing I got was "Oh yeah the queen, remember how cool that arc was?" Shame the Queens are literally useless in this battle, welp, time to use a Rocket Launcher to shoot down the UFO. "Survival"

Agreed. Man, i missed that adrenaline rush. At least i am curious about the baby. This whole machine arc is a no no

 

[xyzzy]

The worst part about the manga adaptation is that apparently it works better with how it’s done in the LN, where events from the future combine with the ones in the past?

yeah either we're missing context or this is just a weird arc. Feels forced and out of place

 

[Brewplanet]

My baby

 

[Passerby_RLY]

I hope we get to move on quickly...

 

[Werebearguy]

Pottymouth's weapon is just another reason why the concept of Orcs having their way with elves is justified. She's probably fine though.

 

[Gimmy]

Around elves, watch yourselves.

 

[J-ROC]

...what was this series about again?

Isekai SKYNET

 

[Claith]

Really not loving this arc.

I read the web novel, and this entire battle thing wasn't in it. I can only guess it is from the light novel. Why the editors allowed it, I've no idea.

Makes as much sense as adding tanooki everywhere.

Complaint's being said, I think I know how this is going to end, to create a different parallel from the web novel, yet have the same result. The underground base plot point they found ended differently, so I'm guessing they will reach the same point after this UFO thing. Just dragging this event out with this fight.

And the comedy is so bad. So it's like, yeah, here's action, one liner, action, one liner, action

 

[Dosky]

Around elves never relax.

 

[phil777]

Around elves, watch yourselves.

I think the proper saying is "Around knife ears".

 

[Mentholatum]

Honestly, the stakes have been high since she found out about the world's eventually demise. This is just more of a "this could do it now rather than later" type of thing.

I think high stakes like "the end of the world" are fine for long-term objectives, eventually leading to the fight against the final boss (but maybe I'm just too used to games where a boy from a small village saves the universe...).

But this arc feels more like a random encounter, without any preparations/foreshadowing, making the stakes disproportionately high.

"Wild SEPHIROTH appeared! SEPHIROTH used Super Nova! SHIRO-CHAN is confused!"

Edit: fix typo
