yeah, the sudden 5 years time skip is harsh even when I read WN. I was like "??? what ???"
this arc is kinda okay tho since we're still focus on MC and his interaction with "hero party member" will lead to next arc and my boi, harold will keep getting more brownie point for hero party member even with harold's speech somehow lol.
Also, just my bias but I hope manga will fix erica or give her more role than "nadeshiko(Ideal wife)" who passive af in WN.
I meant, she's nice and all but last arc in WN before I drop make me scatch my head so hard. I want her to be agressive for once or else their romance won't progress at all lol.
