The protagonist just performed a magical sex change surgery on an antagonist who came out to him as a trans woman. Huh, that was surprisingly wholesome, and probably bought him her allegiance against Juliana. But damn this entire arc that it's still not finished and has shown no signs of finishing. They are not any closer to finding that damned hero who may or may not even be able to remove the damned collar on his neck that's damning the romance I was enjoying not too long ago.
I feel a little numb and betrayed about how I was reading an enjoyable isekai with a sweet engaged couple who got romantic progress going on, and that got ripped from my hands and replaced with something that practically reset all the progress they managed to achieve, with memory wipes and physical separation. It's not even wheelspin, it's actual regression. The vehicle went into reverse. Until he gets his memories back the romance is effectively reset and frozen in place.
