It ended... I guess?

What was up with the hero party thing when anyone can seemingly defeat these demon kings if they are just a bit strong.
And whats up with that evil manipulator girl, did mage girl sniff her out as sus as fuck or just a passing comment?
No revenge was had by MC, fine I guess, but am I supposed to feel bad for arsehole guy that tried to ruin his friends life to steal a girl that clearly loves someone else? Why a scene with him being like "oh well I lost, totally didn't do anything completely evil so I have no regrets losing", what? Even if it's not for MC, fuck this guy over for the readers damnit.

They had a fight but they only almost lost because they didn't confirm the kill TWICE so... Fake drama? Drama because they are actually stupid? What kind of boss fight is that.

If you wanted more, you can read the WN. I was reading it on Syosetu several months ago when I got impatient for updates. :huh:
There's no way the novel of this is good enough to be worth reading... Right?
I'm just going to live my life believing that if the manga is "bad" the novel is bad to save myself some time.

TLDR... like, i watch/read manga for a reason. I read all day on the job and i even read a book on the way back home... so yeah i like to see the pretty pictures with almost no words in the last hours before going to bed... well, so be it, is there anyone that could spoil the story for me, since this will only go on in LN format?

A few of us speculated that she was the goddess incarnate because as soon as shows up, she IMMEDIATELY starts talking down to them over how useful MC's class is and how no matter how hard they try, they can't replace him. It seems sort of personal with how she does it too.

If that's the case she was probably trying to salvage something considering MC's class is supposed to be on par with the Hero anyway, so might as well make a NEW party with the healer since he's a requirement anyhow.

It's better than the manga, but I wouldn't call it "good"... a better description would be "mediocre" at best.

There's often no immediately engaging subplot to keep you interested, so often the group is just traveling aimlessly and coincidentally there's some drama at whatever place they end up going to. The coincidental drama begins the subplot, and after a couple chapters it's resolved before more aimless wandering.

Honestly this seems to be common in Japanese stories. Having an MC that enjoys traveling aimlessly, but constantly gets dragged into trouble. Especially if the story is based in another world.

I did enjoy the way the MC treated the goddess of twilight though. They didn't really do it much in the manga, but in the WN he is almost constantly giving her head chops or forehead flicks.

Thanks for translating this. It's kind of a shame it was so short, but best it be short sometimes than get dragged out until people lose interest in it altogether.

Someone spoiled it on the last chapter that she is a.


Goddess that wants the saint badly but her goal is to ultimately brainwash the entire hero party to not kill the demon lord since she herself was brainwashed by the strongest previous demon lord. Isn't that a twist upon a twist.

That's a good twist! and they canceled this? Did the artist find something else to do or did it just not take off?

The didn't cancel it, they just never intended it to run that long for a novel ad. I guess they would be willing to continue if the sales turns out to be good; but honestly the story was bad. More specifically, the motivation of the MC was really bad. The first half of the story was just MC whining and hating the goddess just because he had been given $1000 instead of the asked ¥100000.

Honestly, i forgot all about this story. So in hindsight i can see why it was axed.
