Shiboritoranaide, Onna Shounin-san - Vol. 10 Ch. 52.2 - Connie’s Quest Part 2

[Doomroar]

Note that the bangles stop Lavi from progressing beyond floor thirty, the same floor connie is shown getting stonewalled at.

She made sure he couldn't go deeper than she did. That he would never get "better" than her. Just like how they kept him "weak and needing protecting"

She is the biggest sore loser and sore winner

And now she is gonna get owned by her lil brother, still wearing the restriction bracers, in a man-kini

 

[Sivrel]

Ya know, initially Philo wanted to see Lavi in the mini-kini armor herself before she knew what a nutcase his sister was. Were he not fighting for his cherry vs his own sister this might have been the happiest day in the horny fox girl's life.

I know it's supposed to be a serious chapter, but that outfit... I simply can't, I simply can't... Hahahahah

 

[Vizieti]

lavi bro I’m gonna do unfathomable things to you

 

[vocalmagic]

This is either the best, most thought-out writing I've seen for an antagonist I've read in a while, or they somehow accidentally stumbled ass-backwards into a concept that your antagonists don't need to be "good, from their point of view, could be seen as good by the reader"

As long as they never explain WHY the bangles hold Lavi back from progressing further than his sister, or if the reason is entirely selfish, then Connie having every opportunity to learn to value those weaker than her but ignoring that to stick to her "The weak souls obey the strong" mentality works very very well.

Showing her as a kid beating up other kids for being weak wasn't to show her growth after meeting Lavi, it was too drive home that she was always a terrible person, but her bro-con-ness hid it from us.
She loves her brother because she thinks he's cute, but still thinks he's beneath her. And I love that in an antagonist. Thoroughly unredeemable, and they don't try to make her redeemable.

 

[AncientWatcher]

Huh. Can't believe I didn't notice Connie's twin ahoge until now.

Crazy brocon needs correction. 💢💢💢

 

[AGeneric_Gamer]

I know it’s a gag but damn I still don’t like seeing lavi in that, or anyone, 😭

 

[Holoch]

I'm salivating for the next chapters

 

[BusinessGL]

Bros a true man. He can wear that and skill look semi-cool
