For a group who had a lot of encounters, they are fairly easy to overwhelm and confuse since this is not the first time something like this happening. MC is way too relaxed but that's what happens in a "no deaths allowed" shounen i guess. Why would you be careful when no one die, ever.
Haru straightening her back after seeing MC looking at Lalael's huge bazookas was so cute.
The "let's just enhance your current outfits" is just the same old lame excuse to make the manga artist keep drawing the same outfit
I don't understand why sometimes our MC fights and sometimes he just looks, like... He said this time it was for Caro and Haru to get training, but when he saw 2 (or 3?) of the rare monster, he should've helped for sure!

Actually such a Trap heavy dungeon is their first time which is why they got the Dark Elf as help. None of them has experience with those. Of note this is not a normal encounter either as the Trap Dolls are supposed to be Solitary too and they also use tricks the three haven't encountered yet.
I mean, it couldn't have been a more obvious setup. Lalael told them when they fought the living armors that the Trap Masters would trap nonorganic monsters, and told of traps that would force teleport, how did they not see this coming? I'm also betting that they one he spied with Hawk Eyes made the other two that engaged their group, so there might be some kind of hierarchy.
The story has been deteriorating for a while, now: the author's been shifting toward the standard MC-kun traits established by his peers for years.
One of the only things the author can't get away with is donkan behavior--Ichinojou is way too far along with Haru in particular to engage in it, and has been treating Haru in exactly the opposite way since very early on. What the author CAN get away with (and apparently has), however, is turning Ichinojou into the usual mahou shoujo male MC who not only leaves direct physical combat--what men are supposed to be built for--to women, but apparently can't engage in it either. Ichinojou can engage in physical combat--or at least should be able to--but has been doing less and less of it over time.
On page 40 of this chapter, when the Trap Doll rushes him, the only thing saving him was Haru's interception.
Ichinojou just stood there, with no indication that he could even dodge the attack, waiting to get carved up in apparent shock. The Ichinojou of the past would have definitely been ready for the fight that he saw coming to him--he was equipped with gear for the occasion. Now, he just waves his hands and makes flashy spells appear--like most other isekai protagonists who're powerful for no reason--and hides behind Haru: fittingly, he's dressed in a comfy robe ever since he's been taking his effeminate position, waiting to slip under his cozy kotatsu and peel some fruit. Consequently, he let Haru fight a two-on-one battle so he could "keep observing for now".
Worst of all, this--weakness and cowardice--is exactly the opposite of the character that earned Haru's loyalty and love.
It definitely wasn't. As I said, the story's been deteriorating, and another way in which it has is directly related to the harem element--growing like a tumor, as it normally does, as it's almost never executed correctly. That way is also one that's common to the author's manga/LN author peers: whenever there is a female lead written to be peerlessly beautiful--and make no mistake, this necessarily includes having large breasts--the average author will eventually write in some random girl to evoke insecurity in the female lead over her own looks--and it's almost always over breast size specifically. Furthermore, such authors will never negatively depict Carol's type this way.
Compared to Haru, the dark elf came out of nowhere and has absolutely nothing on Haru but larger breasts (I wonder if they always were, come to think of it). There's not a single reason for that scene to have come into being given Ichinojou's once-established laser-focused love for Haru, but there it was. The main question, that being said, is "Why?"
That question, however, is one most readers aren't even perceptive enough to come to; whether they are or not, most won't like the answer aside from the first, which is "the harem element".
