There aren't enough tomatoes for a bath to cast away that smell xD

It's getting worse and worse. The cringey, whiney backstories of these lackluster villains add nothing - if anything, they make this shitty arc way worse. I have some hope that the author might still salvage this after the arc is over and turn this back into something interesting and fun, but that hope is very, very slim.

I'm still interested if the grandpa they mentiones that used to make weapons will have some relevance, because it would be a good life savior no only for the characters but also for the manga.

This is a Seinen manga?
The first few chapters were a good dark comedy.
Then there was the snafu with turning Akira into a babbling idiot just to generate character development for Shizuka.
I like her but I just wish there was another way the author developed her.
Now it's just a straight-up shounen manga and a bad one at that...
Some of the "villains" motivations and actions don't really make sense either.

Edgy Neet - I suck at life so fuck everyone that's successful.
Sure, so he stays home smokes every day and somehow has the capacity to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Disgruntled OL - I hate the people I work with and how I'm treated.
So now she's just ok with killing innocent people? What?

Ball of Lust - Rejected because of personality habits appearance? I dunno.
I'll kill innocents and rape. Well I guess this one kinda makes sense.

Terrible Husband - I feel like no one (wife, coworkers, whoever) is ever grateful for what I do.
I'll push anyone down that is successful. Also kinda makes sense, but I dunno seems like a stretch to kill a whole village.

These 4 ragtag bunch of failures(?) somehow were able to plan all of this and no one noticed a thing.

It feels like all this was all irrelevant and the author only introduced the village to teach MC and whoever survives the skills they learned here and just move on.

Haven’t had sex in 5 years, but has a 4 year old son? Something about this math doesn’t add up.

Lmao everyone here pissing on the story because they don't like the evil characters. Well duh you're not supposed to like them, they're evil (except the new compelling villains in movies). That's no excuse to tell on the story which is actually good.

This is not your isekai power selfullfilling fantasy.

Also Kencho mate you're getting a harem with all that luck you've got now. Man amongst man.

Villains are great, when given proper attention and growth. These look like dime-store imitations. The arc actually started off really well, but the “we live in a society” douche is really not spicing things up like say a Negan or Governor. Who knows; maybe he actually will start becoming formidable. Shigaraki from My Hero Academia started off pretty pathetic (save for his design), and look at him now.

@Sep10trion I think the point of these villains is that they're one-dimensional. They're not meant to be deep. The author is clearly mocking the segment of society that would want to see everything burn in an apocalypse like this.

These villians are lackluster but also oddly appropriate because they are the very definition of what petty and malicious assholes humans can be, not every asshole is gonna have some tragic backstory, some people are just shitty people after all. The only reason this group of assholes even managed to cause such a calamity is because the villagers likely didn't think anyone would be insane or stupid enough to try to screw everyone over. These villians are not very imposing or clever or threatening characters but in this scenario they don't need to be. They are just vindictive hedonists who likely feel the world owes them something despite them never truly trying to put in the effort to get what they feel they were owed.

The 27 year old dude was okay. He represents someone we all could be if we just let our guard down just a tiny bit
We all feel wronged by society and your family in someway, even if all the fault lies within us. It is easy to blame others to save your fragile ego.

That edgelord really need to go though. God damn, what a pathetic human waste.
