ummm what?

 

[Al_Azif]

You lost your magic power > You now have it back
I am someone important to you and that's why I'm disguised as an old man > Convenient flashback that shows who "he" actually is

???

 

[sdarkpaladin]

Who!?

 

[Shiden]

Everything has been a narrative fustercluck since he YOLO'd off and got his whole army killed for no reason.

 

[Elhao]

While I was not looking forward to a long-winded power regain arc, this gave me whiplash from being the total opposite.

 

[Kvngneptune]

So gramps died to give mc his power back?

 

[Blaze_Rod]

Well that was convienient.

 

[AnotherDuck]

This sequence of events feels so random. What does it even accomplish narratively?

 

[TUN27]

Here I thought it will be a fucking training arc or some shit. But he just recovered his fucking power just like that. Such a dumb writing. If the same thing happen after this I wonder what new character author will thought out to save MC's ass.

 

[jarjaxle]

Ike's Mom/Grandmom?

 

[Kutabarie]

The story is getting worse with each chapter... First he marvelously fucks up in the previous fight, and then he acts like a sore loser after being saved, acting as if him going back is going to change anything. And now we have an asspull with his staff and restoring his magical power just like that. At this rate an axe will be immenent.

 

[Kaarme]

So, he got another limited supply of external mana. The first thing he did was to magically craft stairs for no reason and a teleportation gate. I wonder how much of the new pool of mana he just spent? 10%? He will run out again, soon, and then he will just get more thanks to 100% pure and distilled plot convenience. He's like some starving and penniless gambling addict, who, upon receiving money from well-meaning folks, doesn't buy food or pay his rent, he instead goes to the pachinko cave to donate it all to the yakuza.
