Honestly that was one of the worst chapters I’ve read in a while. Like I personally don’t really mind a little bit of Deus Ex Machina here and there, assuming that it’s not an instant win, it’s somewhat reasonable/possible, and the MC still has to work for what’s theirs. But here? A bunch of disgustingly OP things piled onto the MC at once, when even just one of them would be a bit of a stretch. Not to mention all of the pointless dialogue and standing around while their friend could be dying... just terrible.
