Is that dragon her pet? Is that one chick from before the dragon? Huh?

 

[Kaarme]

I'm exceptionally pleased he didn't fight the dragon (and win).

 

[Kuyu]

Very confusing. I wonder if the light novel explains this better.

 

[Tired_Man]

A crap ton of things just happened, and we're left with meager hints

 

[zebeker]

Are we sure the author doesn't just have a vore fetish

And since it was quite pointed out in the chapter 30 comments of how much of a resemblance to Raziel that Rentt currently has, it's only fitting for this now:

 

[welcome2atlantis]

Second time eaten by a dragon orz
MC has broken world record for most times eaten by dragon.

 

[angge2004]

A frog for an earth dragon, and it has wings?? strange.

 

[Ultra-Novva]

A frog for an earth dragon, and it has wings?? strange.

I think it's cool there's some variation in classic fantasy ideas; it does look a bit funny to see a giant mustached frog like dragon though

After reading some of the novel, I wanted to skim through the Manga to see how they drew certain scenes, and they've added so much. This whole bit about being eaten, and the vision that came because of it didn't happen in the novel. The Earth Dragon was sleeping in the bottom of the pit, and woke up shortly after Rentt noticed it. It was enough of a shock to kill any ambition he had to test his strength and he goes home straight after.

It seems the author decided to be a lot less subtle about certain things, and also introduce plot hooks much earlier. I'd guess the novel's pacing didn't make for a suitable 1:1 adaptation, so this is probably their way of adding some filler panels while also increasing the pace of the story.
