Truth be told, after all that build-up, the resolution to the arc feels quite abrupt. Did the author grow tired of it and just wanted to move on?
I agree with this. So much of this arc felt almost needlessly drawn out, and then BOOM the past two chapters just sped everything up significantly. I feel as though if the mangaka utilized his normal pacing, they would have shown some of the conflict in the discussion of the elven royals and religious representatives. This manga has some great dialogue, such as the interaction between MC and Brolite’s sister, so just offscreening the elven discussions was so confusing to me. I do also feel like the elves would have included MC in the discussion, since he was the actual catalyst in bringing forth the great spirit. The whole idea of the resolution was to embrace change and diversity, and MC just let them deal with it in isolation? No way will this go smoothly for a long time.
I don’t know how this went in the LN, but it was such an abrupt change of pace, it gave me whiplash. I still love this series though because all of the character designs and dynamics are so nice.
