Finally is time for demons! It can't be a fantasy story without a few demons around the place.

I wonder if we are going to see the royal army fight the demons or if we are going to see adventures fight them first.

As always, thanks for the chapter!

I still really hate Glenn's existence as a character, both from a writing standpoint and from him being obnoxious
He's actually quite realistic, especially in a world of magic. He grew up in a highly privileged environment, but not only that, he was the most talented individual there. If he had actually had some great goal to work for, he might have been saved mentally, but he had nothing. In RL, a single individual obviously has great limitations, but when you add magic, the limits are much higher, which can make the arrogance grow equally bigger. At least he does have the single saving grace of holding himself to the same standards he puts others down with. So, if someone breats him at something, he will naturally accept it. Too bad such people didn't appear more often in his youth.

I can try to summarize the main points for a start:
  • Alice grew up in a noble home with her parents neglecting attention to her. To make up for it, they got her a pet rabbit to keep her company. She grew attached to it, of course, but by the time it died, the parents made the soulless proposal of getting a 'replacement' for her. I believe this was what led Alice to an existential crisis at such a young age, being feared that she, too, would be merely replaced if something happened to her, thus her obsession to being 'the only one' to her parents began, becoming a daughter that they could never replace.
  • To achieve this, she studied necromancy, trying to bring her pet back to life-because obviously she was the 'only one' for her, a true friend she could confide in-hoping that she'll find a way to keep herself immortal or something alike so her parents wouldn't be driven to replace her for any reason. Getting a good rep with her academics in school would also up her 'only one' value in her parents' eyes.
  • At some point down the line, her ambition got out of hand and started doing illegal activity for the sake of furthering her necromancy research, to the point that her parents disowned her as they had enough of it. This caused her to snap and commit inhumane acts like wiping out an entire village under a neglectful count's authority, which then caught the attention of our main party tracking her down after some thorough investigation, and finally ending her life then and there.
I kind of skimmed a bit at the end there, but I think I explained it well enough. Let me know if I missed anything crucial or mistaken somewhere.

I can't thank you enough for writing the summary :glee: . I only remembered the village being raided part cause how grim it is compared to the story before.

lol another one fall for the three stooges dummer

atleast he isn't an a-hole:
  • honest asking 3 girl to be his women
  • shoving 7th girl far from giant worm
  • admit defeat when Will party slay mother worm
  • gave money bag to women he bored of
"...being feared that she, too, would be merely replaced if something happened to her, thus her obsession to being 'the only one' to her parents began, becoming a daughter that they could never replace."
nice perspective there but I didn't see any connect between 'her parents disowned her' and 'zombiefied an entire village'

I am really not feeling how this chapter tries to romanticize objectification of self and others.
"I want to be his thing! That gave me purpose, because I failed at everything else!"
Fucking what mate? Is that supposed to be respectable? And why would "7th" ever idolize a person who wanted to exploit her at her weakest?
What a bizarre show of abuse appreciation.
I call this kind of mindset is "throwing everything you have for something you believe" or simplely: love

I could be incorrect in the order of events and motivations, however, but this is what I came up with based on what I remembered. Never a bad idea to go back and reread something for the fun of it.

While that's all good and dandy, his opinion that people are "things" that solely exist to entertain him, or that "the world is separated by the weak and the strong", is incredibly warped and flawed, and can easily make him an unpleasant character to read about.

While such a person can clearly exists, and he doesn't feel too contrived, it is also within good reason why people may not enjoy reading about a narcissist genius ikeman boi who can do everything and anything, and has the personality of a landfill.

Get new outfit, purge the old. She has been reborn.

"Stop lightly teasing me!" I just adore their group interactions. Also that she's specifically calling it out as just light teasing.

I love that author doesnt shy away from showing off girls' gremlin side, some fresh air compared to usual moeblobs
Three vile villains capturing an innocent maiden. Whatever obscene things will these gremlins do to her against her will?

If he had actually had some great goal to work for, he might have been saved mentally, but he had nothing.
It reminds me of one of the otome villainess mangas, where the MMC was cursed to be obsessed with something, and if that didn't happen, or it happened with the wrong thing, the world would be ruined. Enter FMC.

atleast he isn't an a-hole:
Yeah, he's very much a grey character, despite the relatively black introduction.

I read it more as dedication towards something you love. Not that there aren't some less pleasant undertones in this particular example, but I wouldn't extrapolate those details as being part of the overall message.

Some people like complex characters. Some don't. Some only like characters you could be friends with IRL. Some like villainous characters. And everything in between. You do you.

I hope someone stronger than Glenn enforces such a viewpoint on him. Preferably brutally. "Because they felt like it."
That's what I hate about self-righteous characters. Their moral logic implodes the moment they encounter anyone else.

Morals need to be internally and externally consistent. Many aren't; but Glen was an extreme epitome of that.
The fact the female mage "adores" the mage responsible for genocide and brutal assault of innocents is more of that.

The big thing this chapter was that we saw Cecilia's motivations. She's a moth attracted to a flame, at one point alice was the flame, now glenn. She knew they'd hurt her, but couldn't help but be attracted to them. Glenn showed on a previous chapter that he likes her to a point where he's afraid he'll get bored of her like he did with the other women.

That's about as far as their character arc goes and i'd say it's pretty well written.
