For the first time ever, I am annoyed at the inclusion of new members of the harem. They just stroll in and hug the MC? Way to go in lowering the bar. What's after this? The female Shit Spirit, Poo-chan?
I miss the neko blacksmith being in the team. These two new characters don’t have much personality as well as something seeming off about them. Not sure if it’s slightly sinister foreshadowing or just the lack of development and simple dialogue.
