Mahoutsukai no Konyakusha - Vol. 2 Ch. 7

[Himechu]

On another note, ignoring the frankly depressing outlook of the situation, the hero looks so confused at his situation.

"So wait... what am I doing here again? I'm supposed to defeat the Demon king? Who that again?"

It's funny.

What really gets me in this story is how the MC is suposed to have been able to use magic and was reading advanced tomes since her childhood and yet she doesn't show any power or anything and just let things happens around her.
I get she was not choosen but she could have gone along as an additional healer or soemething.
I'm not sure why she decided to let thigs play out like that but I guess this chapter was the wake up call she was needing... Does anyone remember how old she is now? (both the new body's age and her total age).

@Himechu
Well he seens to have been just a random that was choosen by the holy sword it is no surprise that he is confuse as what he can actually do since they are sending him without any training with a team that he just met.

@JWChibi
At least he told her, he could have just gonne and let the MC learn about it from someone else.
The MC does not want to pressure him into it because she believes he is just doing it out of guilty and not because he loves her and he is not good at expressing that for the msot part.

 

[shplunk]

this fuckin guy. he whines and mopes about her always smiling and not showing her feelings, then the moment she tries to be vulnerable with him he brushes her off. NICE. 🙄

I'm thinking of dropping this...

From a 5 star rating:

Romance = barely a 2 - what is there to like? Submissive FL that lets her fiance insult her because... what? She thinks he feels guilty for what happened to her? She shouldn't take the insults, though. And the MC insulting and being rude to his fiancee every time they meet. He doesn't show his feelings... does he even care for her ? Sure, he said "he loves her/is in love with her" but one thing is to say that, another thing is to show it. The romance is very bad, imo. Very cold-ish, very... one sided? Not even that, since both of them are not showing their "true" feelings.

Plot = 2.5? - really slow, nothing really happens until now? "Oh, it's a demon King, and there's a hero, and the Princess is blessed with the Goddess power or has some divine power, and is joining the party, yaay" *note the sarcasm* But then are we really going to see Edi and the reat fight? Or is it going to be just her in her castle... making tea... thinking?

FL = 1.5 - She was knowledgeable about magic in the beginning, really smart, but now it's just like she took a step back and decided to remain in the background... like a decoration or just "the magician's fiance" and that's it. Really submissive, not showing her true feelings (I would have kicked Edi's ass like, 3 chapters ago jfc), letting her fiance insult her like that.

MC = 1.5 - Sure, he's good-looking, he's a genius magician or whatever, when he was child he was cute/adorable. But... now? He insults FL, is always cold and rude to her, doesn't show any sign of appreciation/fondness/any sign that he actually cares for her.

So anyway... I'll probably read one or two more chapters and that may be it. Unless this gets better, but I doubt it... idk.

 

[kyara]

Man I hope she actually leaves him.

 

[Kisato]

>inb4 he's super motivated now and curbstomps the maou into next century

 

[Colomopri]

idk i dont like the way edi behaves. and filomena is a very patient girl, psh. she should try scheme him sometimes

 

[JA10111]

The thing the manga adaptation lacks is the chapters from edie's perspective

 

[vierseason]

usually, i don't like mc who do nothing, but this manga is an exception. Idk why, but the mc is not annoying even all she do is waiting for ml. maybe bcs she knows her role :-/

 

[Golialo]

Well, i didnt expect a demon lord to show up...

 

[gregorry]

@vierseason

Probably because she doesn't need saving once every chapter like other protag lol

This is a really interesting piece of information. For many years readers said they hate useless protag, but now it shows other possibilities.

 

[Meri08]

In which Edi goes on a rampage, killing the Demon King, for keeping him far away from Filomena and their marriage . . .
Filomena is so nice tho . . . she may need to be more proactive cuz he needs to feel secure and vice versa

 

[SapphireDemon]

@JA10111 Does the LN/WN have complementary chapters of the events from Edi's perspective?

 

[silvereastsea]

I'm kinda disappointed at how Edi behaves towards Filomena. All these chapters we don't see him showing his love for MC. Even at this point where he has to leave her --in a chance that he might get hurt and not go back--, he still can't say nice things to her. Honestly, the MC is too good for him

 

[Redice]

A war story that's similar to world war journals following the lives of civillians and refugess, but in a rpg fantasy story setting like this would be interesting.
Doubt this "war" will last that long though.

Also at this rate, these two will be like those two main characters in gundam 00 where they finally started to be together only after the girl grew old and gray with adopted children as full grown adults, lol.

 

[JA10111]

@SapphireDemon Yeah, almost half of them if I remember correctly

 

[QueenKumQuat]

@mahtan She isn't doing anything because she CAN'T do anything😅. She was born as a mob character who happens to be in a prominent family. She read advanced tomes because her family has a bunch of them, but she can't do magic.

Normally the MC would use their smarts/influence to be semi-badass, but Philomena is a mob character through and through. I haven't read the novel or anything, but so far this is just the story of a regular-degular girl and her super op fiance.

 

[kenkagejack]

prediction: she anonymously started a business in those 7 years of neglect and now she's stupid rich with her modern knowledge.

 

[yuusiren]

So this is what being a NPC feels like
