Thanks for the chapter, it seems the witch is starting to get along with people now. Here's to hoping it'll eventually end up with the knight marrying the witch.

The pacing is really really fast, i couldnt process what was happening in ch. 1, there is at least 3 things that happened in only 1 ch or maybe more, i don't know if the author will change the pacing but if not, damn there is a huge turn off for me, but i like the art though, i like the witch also

Thanks for the chapter.

Fun fact, this series is getting an official english translation.

To me it feels like the author/artist is trying to speedrun the work. No downpace, constantly pushing. Really hard to stay engaged.

Welllll... Given that you're talking about the timeframe of only a couple of days where everything takes place in up until now..

MC is shellshocked, running on nerves and denial, and coping with crisis after crisis off the cuff because he has no choice but to do so.
Most people would have turned into a gibbering nervous wreck by now, facing this or similar. No guarantee if the MC still won't, given some very subtle-unsubtle hints in the writing/drawing, but for now he's still in Survival Mode, and ....functioning... barely.

The pace is so frantic because the situation... is. This is not a Nice Fluffy Story...

The problem isn't the content, but its presentation, which is detached with the story in and of itself. It's 100% a pacing issue.

Yeah I'd say it needs to slow down but only slightly like if we took another chapter length to get here.

I still dont understand their world, there is magic but is it different than a witch magic?

From what is shown the witch uses "curse" magic, whereas humans use the more "standard" elemental/spirit magic.

As far as I can tell the witch's magic is more like "Ancient Magus' Bride" Fae style magic, especially since she's depicted as somewhat of a dryad/fae herself. Human-shaped, but not human.

I'm curious where the author is taking things here. It's definitely not cut-and-dried standard stuff.

Honestly, I think the first chapter should have been way more stretched out and more focused on the town. And maybe him searching for the witch and fighting her should have been an entire arc

The little ones are strong, but this needed to happen, no child should deal with their parents's death but at least they still have people to love and care for them.
