The end page was a good summary. This one started out promising but, the farther it went, the more it seemed the author hadn't planned things out.

Holy shit! I checked the raws and it really fucking ended mid-sentence back in 2021. That's the most axed I've ever seen a manga get. They'd usually at least give an "Our adventure continues!" ending, maybe a rushed finale ending, or rarely out of spite "THE MC DIED" ending. But never a fucking mid-sentence ending.

There's not even an announcement, the Japanese comments seems to be confused as well.

What a mid manga from start to end, but I thank the translation team for at least finishing it properly.

Axed mid sentence, that's amazing.

But the manga writer clearly knew it was gonna happen, since chapter 16 they call out how they're going off the rails of the plot of the novel.

Wow, something tells me this was not a planned axing. This was sudden, and the author was told that it was cancelled like immediately after the last chapter was approved. Ah well, it felt underbaked and a bit juvenile. Honestly, not surprising, considering the author. Best known for Redo of Healer, but also has a bunch of other less controversial but still pretty mediocre series'.

Can you feel it, reader, the weight of the axe's swing?
This is the first time I could feel it hitting so hard.

However, I cannot honestly say it is undeserved.
It somehow felt both rushed and slow for most of the time. The MC seemed to get some impossible knowledge excused as "I got some past memories", knowledge that makes no sense using in the game we see him playing - and playing as if he is in both lives at once, even.

This is not even an abrupt end. The second-to-last chapter makes it clear they wanted to give us a sample of competence as if asking for another chance, then this one ending mid-conversation as almost a sequel hook. But too little, too late.

And in my opinion, they went the wrong path for that. Should have instead done the two final chapters as if a big brawl for the princess' duel, or at least had the duel take part in them. End the story in a victory, as if saying they can give us more, instead of a big tease like it all felt until then.

Wow, really surprised the mangaka was just like well, I'm not going to try tying this off just because you cancelled me, but there were some things I wanted to draw-
