im all for a 1-page-per-week pace as long as there's somehing interesting/funny/weird going on every page. Like you know, the 4-koma-style this had in the beginning. But this pacing for a regular drama is just not... interesting... to read. I'll wait until this is finished and read it in one go later, bye!

So the refresh goes about the author actually understanding and working it to explore her character traits more? Right, like sketches in a book, the revisit for a better incarnation still seems fine? This ‘weaponization’ is weak.
Do you even read the author's work?
Do you think any of this shit is "deep"?

Uh, is English your first language? I don't understand what you're saying.
This was a genuinely epic chapter, such a glorious way to save someone.

Eh, the author decided to reset her status, by making her tell a false fortune to save the girl she envied, when she could have EASILY just told that illegal activities were happening and she seen her friend there.
I don't like this way to end the story, and it doesn't changes how she ignored glasses in the previous chapter, he was beaten and broken and simply asked for help, she only changed idea for the guilt after thinking more on it, she wasn't that kind of bitchy character originally.
She decided to cause chaos by sending a ton of people in the hiding spot, another lie could have worked like a fire, woudl have still made police and ambulance hurry.
Dissapointing final arc.

I get going more story heavy and exploring her character more, but this story has mainly been about the comedy rather than anything deep. Though for me Adding something like that feels like it’d clash with the story’s tone quite a bit and the general feel the author is going for. But ultimately its a matter of choice.

A creepy rapist kidnapper almost untouchable by the law due to his powerful parents? Let's send him an army of streamers, journalists and curious onlookers.

Always confusing when people switch the language of the titles.

Didn't she get more bitter as time went on and she continuously fail to capture Otaku-kun's attention, while he simultaneously kept going to her for advice on getting Blondie's attention for himself?

FortuneTeller Gyaru basically had a crashout and then "sold out", going on TV and telling fortunes for money and fame and clout. She grew jaded, and actively tried to forget about Otaku-kun, because she felt betrayed/snubbed/what-have-you.

It wan't until she remembered why she liked him in the first place--his desire to help even at his own expense--that she realized what she as doing, and how she also used to help with her ability.

So she went on-air and said something appropriately "sensational", after developing a big track record for accuracy, that would entice a lot of people to head straight for that location.

And remember - the author's gone for the twist and fakeout before.
For all we know, Tokugawa's Treasure might end up being there by pure coincidence. Hell, maybe Blondie is his direct descendent or something.

Feeling bitter and crashing out is normal for the situation, schoolgirl first love not working, but she knows perfectly that they are good people, even just pondering to let things go that way is wrong, makes her a bitch and goes against what we learned about her until then, it was just a plot device to force this development so that she would destroy her 100% right image and return to normality.

That's definitely one way to get a lot of people moving. Who knows, while it might not be an actual treasure, it might be a big scandal that would cost them 100 billion yen considering someone is kidnapped there.
