@Apav Fair, I forgot that most of this genre is converted lns. Regardless, the artist’s change in drawing styles are disappointing.

Will we ever get to the part with them actually fighting the flood, I wonder? They've been preparing for about 5 chapters now...

@pip25 if you have not already done so, you should check the light novel, it's far beyond story wise, and it should quench your cravings

I see that Kaede's parents designed her clothes after a school uniform lol

Of all the girls in this world so far we get a panty shot from the loli elf lo/

@Serenata ...What are you talking about? This chapter doesn't have any Kaede fan service that I noticed.

i found it funny that the dragon woman here looks like a smexy human woman. While the male characters we've seen before looks like dragon/lizard.

Man, that was such a stereotypical scene common in romcoms with "school idol" type female leads and generic-looking male leads getting the stink eye from randos. Even Shin himself pointed out the gazes.

I do believe that "Ahem." by Schnee was the first time I've ever seen her express a sign of jealousy (excluding that private scene with Shin where she talked about Marino). She's not kidding when she said she hasn't given up. Lady is stepping up her game a little even in public. So Schnee uses Yuki as her pseudonym while disguised. I vaguely feel like I've seen that before, but not sure if it was in an earlier chapter, or from the anime.

I appreciate having Tiera around as a sort of "ground control" showing the closest thing to what normal looks like, when most of the cast are strong characters. Even Kaede is strong even when she hasn't actually attained full control of her powers yet. She's easily overwhelming Tiera who was trained by Schnee (although IIRC she held back on the training considering Tiera is pretty normal).

It feels silly and pandering that dragnil males look like humanoid lizards while the females look like sexy humans with a few scales.

Also, Schnee is snow in German and Yuki is snow in Japanese.

Is it okay to complain since I am 51 chapters in? Incoming rant. Shin’s character is really bland. The only thing we’ve really gotten is that he wants to go home, he is kind, kind of clumsy, and has this secret edgy side to him. He feels like the typical mysterious MC with a dark past who has replaced his dark personality with a “kinder” one but still has that edgy side in him lurking to come out when the time calls for it. Other than that, Shin feels empty. He is generic in his values and has no other goals really.

His disregard for this world is also really irking, not sure if this is the TL’s fault but calling his original world the “real world” implies that this world is fake despite the very real people there. He would abandon Schnee and the others for a world he may not even be able to return to. And god knows how long he has been gone or if he would even be alive in his original world.

To compare, look at Subaru from ReZero. His goal is to be Emilia’s knight and make her king but it also goes a lot deeper than that. He is forced to confront his death innumerable times, forced to face his failures and inadequacies, and grow from his hardships over and over again. In contrast, Shin hasn’t changed at all. He isn’t challenged at all. I don’t expect much from cookie cutter isekai’s but this one has wasted potential. I wanted a bit more here.
