The snails were an obvious tell of something going on and who it was, but I was still a bit worried because how much harm he could prevent was always up in the air.

It feels like we're making some genuine progress at last.

Many of those chapters were about an approaching apocalypse and several of the characters we've met literally live in hell.

Is it actually some kind of problem for bad things to happen?

It's a refreshing development for the saintess to notice her power Might have been responsible and for her to want to fix it.

The mangaka in question is Yamamoto Shoichi.
To be brief, he used his position as a part-time tutor for her to get close to a minor student, groom her, and then raped as well as assaulted and degraded her, including forcing her to eat feces.

Shogakukan, the publisher, is alleged to have attempted to bribe her into silence because while her civil case was pending, and then when that failed they brought him back on to do another manga anyway under a pseudonym.

Claire's childhood friend, the one with talent in every kind of magic who Rae thought that Claire might fall in love with. (Though I don't think she herself was ever all that interested in Claire romantically.)

I really hope the rest of enormeeta get their power up soon to even things out again, it feels like it's been forever since Nemo and Matama got the spotlight.

With regard to the 'talk to the kids about it' part, it's one of the things that drives me up the wall the most about it. So much of the backlash against depiction of things like death or romance, or even the existence of LGBT people for Chrissakes, doesn't even seem to be informed by a genuine concern for 'what the kids will see', but a reluctance to have to explain anything to those kids.

Kind of cracks me up that Meru was in a sense okay with being impersonated as long as the person doing it was just seriously reading to the children, but the second he started yelling at them or trying to ruin their dreams it's time to call the cops.

Also truth be told this kind of person drives me crazy. To start with getting mad about stuff like participation trophies seems so petty, but even then why are you angry at the kids? They don't control that stuff, it was always the parents demanding it to begin with wasn't it?

First I would say what I said isn't actually intended to be a criticism, just a tongue in cheek comment. An otaku would bump into a million tsundere archetype characters before seeing this particular one.

But I do also want to clarify that I'm not sure you understood it, the thing wasn't how the events of this story play out, but that (while it is a stereotype applied overbroadly) many otaku have a tendency of being bad at reading social queues and fantasize about the objects of their affection. Compare the events of this chapter, where the last pages are of the girl being grateful he came back and smiling happily at him to the likely outcome of a real life idol telling a fan to stay away from her and that fan coming back anyway. That's the thing here.

Author I'm not sure "No, if your oishi says to go away that means she likes you and you should go back." is the message otaku really need.

Even just "to get the MC using a Katana and doing iaijutsu" I'd have much preferred some throwaway line about his family being from another land or having met a mysterious strange master in the past.

I like the setup and the characters a lot already, I just kind of wish they hadn't bothered with it being isekai. The conceit doesn't really add anything, so every time the story stops to remind us that's the case I just kind of wonder why.

All the same very much looking forward to more.

More like an ogre honestly.

I'm more worried about Kaiser myself

Kaiser you have to stop doing push-ups, any more and your upper body mass is going to be impossible to fit through a door.

I liked a lot about the ending.
But it will always piss me off that they started making her so one note and the note was just panels where she looks like this.

This story is going to be four times as long as it could be because these two are utterly incapable of stopping with this.

But that's fine cause I love it.

She's very funny, charming, and adorable. I really hope she sticks around.
