Kumo desuga, Nani ka? - Ch. 78.2

[DMBLaan99]

I love that unlike most traditional Tolkienesk fantasy elves, these guys are just straight up evil (at least the main guy) and they embrace advance technology as opposed to nature and mare traditional magic. Little changes like these make a normally stock "evil because evil" villain like Potimas much more interesting imo.

That's because the Manga cut all of the side PoV.
It makes manga-readers happy, but once the story really starts... well there's 0 story to tell.

I feel like it says more to the "side" story that you think there's 0 story to them once we're done with Shiro's side in the manga.

I watched the anime while the translation for the manga languished, and I much prefer the flow of what we're getting in the manga instead of the switching to people I don't care about in their standard RPG isekai situation.

Yeah well, the problem with this series is that the story and the worldbuilding come from the side characters. White is mainly here for the comedy. Ironically, it's when White starts doing stuff that makes the story moves forward that she starts to lose the PoV as well.
That's also the reason why the Manga feels like the story goes nowhere : all relevancy to the story was cut alongside the side character's PoV. And I'm not even talking about Shun, I'm talking about Ariel, Merazophis, Wrath, Dustin, Potimas, Julius, the old magician (if you think the threat of the other Kumoko came out of nowhere, that's normal : the old magician's PoV was completely cut), Agner, Bloe, Balto...
No wonder you don't like the supposed to be good guys, when the Manga made them so dirty (and it doesn't help the author doesn't know how to draw humans).

Also, the situation Shun is in, is not typical in an Isekai.

Good golly are those faces ugly. Reading this is just really not a good time. Ah well.

Well the Mangaka was probably hired for his skills to draw monsters (...and Hentai). They should have replaced him as soon as the story shifts toward humanoids.

They better be taking orcs to the knife-ears country.

What did orcs ever do to you, to be subjected to such torment?
