@MolaCola The main plot is adding characters and giving their backstories by deviating from the primary plot
and using the excuse that the goddess teleported him there to save the humans despite the fact that she has shown that she doesnt't like the MC
. A flashback makes more sense. Not a "look what's happening over hear with characters we have fully seen before this" plot.
People will say this is like OPM but OPM isn't really about him to begin with. It's about the people around him and the world around him because he's going to win and it's been established that he's going to win. That Manga worldbuilds by showing the enemy and their motivations, the heroes that the enemy will be facing, and the background of those heroes over future events without pausing time to tell an additional story.
@Cyoteblack anyone who says this is like OPM is braindead
i agree with the 2nd assertion
but im just wondering on the first, is it really confirmed the goddess sent him there? that'd be really disappointing... was just hoping that the characters were only theorizing it
yes, after the battle when he's "rewarded" for his help
It's also when suspicions about the goddess real intentions begin to be suspect because of the language skill he received at the beginning and the reward's connection to it.
@MolaCola it doesn't have to be the goddess. For the sake of the story, how the additional secondary characters are being introduced is a pain. The reader is invested in Makoto and is told to be invested in these other characters because it will become important. Even if they will become important, they should be introduced with the main character/main story before moving to a side story that has nothing to do with the main story we've been following.
@Cyoteblack i understand where you're coming from
i just thought it would be frustrating if the goddess was responsible
seems antithetical to her whole schtick
@MolaCola Her schtick is to be manipulative, forceful and not really give a f'k about the lives of anyone she considers ugly. She probably considers throwing Makoto at the demons as like using one unsightly potted plant as an axe against another.
