That's another problem with most shoujo stories, there won't be a harem end

Yeah, they would never do this because they have a certain checklist they have to complete whenever they put in a female character now not to mention all the other requirements

Uh... That's pretty major intel there... how did the war even progress in the first place with this idiot at the helm...?

Oh my God, Valentines chocolate

Imagine if a whole army of Venom symbiote and Blue beetle hybrids was used in a war

Another eldritch horror...

Or they might go the other route and they have completely opposite powers

Read the novel, it's still as good as the manga, unfortunately anything beyond vol 6 is licensed tho

Masayuki was barely mentioned in the WN, I don't think he even showed up. The author practically shoehorned Masayuki into WN after writing the LN just to tell people "Hey Masayuki exists here too" so he might have an excuse to write an bonus chapter or two with Masayuki in the WN. All Masayuki did in the LN until the invasion was literally just testing out the Labyrinth and help think of new trap ideas. But the WN did not need anyone to do that since the Labyrinth was barely used outside a few offhanded mentions about the adventurers and during invasions and wars. Now I already said that I did not know whether he is SUPER useful or not in vol.16 and I not saying he's a bad character but as far as I know vol 14 and 15 would have been been a smoother ride had he not been in the Labyrinth at all

The Orc Lord was controlled my Clayman, Clayman wanted to revive Kazaream, Yuuki hires Clayman with Kazaream's revival as payment, Yuuki wants to rule the entire continent and literally has a mind control skill. The Rossos wanted economic control of the whole continent and the granddaughter had a mind control skill to manipulate people and thought she took control of Yuuki. Guy and Rudra literally had a bet on who can takeover the world first. Rudra had his mind contaminated and controlled by Micheal. Micheal wants to revive Veldanava bc he thinks Veldanava is the rightful king of this world and is in contact and in an semi-subordinate relationship with the Insect/Phantasm boss. Phantasm boss that is planning to revive Veldanava to consume his power to fully takeover this dimension and is using multiple former subordinates of Veldanava to accomplish his goal. The Phantasm race has the literal ability and need to manifest into the world through taking over a person's body Am I wrong or am I right that the mind control / manipulation thing is a bit too repetitive?

She also lost the blessing tho I think

"Only say such a thing when you're a good women and my lover" Ah... the beauty of foreshadowing

No, is the hour glass really broken?!

Yeah, Yuuki and the Rosso were more interesting compared to Micheal and the Insect/phantasm guy too bad the build up didn't justify the payoff for both of them

I don't have the time to read vol 16 yet(I read the mtl crap but couldn't take so I stopped) but jnovel has the actual translation out a couple months ago. I mean him being the reincarnation of Rudra was a very unhelpful revelation at least in vol 14 and 15, honestly I just think the author is dragging the LN out right now, with a secret boss, behind a mind controlled(contaminated) boss, behind another boss, but none of the bosses are really anything different from each other since they all want world domnation. Honestly not everything needs to be interconnected, you can have multiple villains with different goals, writing in this way just makes the villains seem stale.

When is "later" exactly? I read up to vol 15 of the LN and all he contributed was bringing spies into the Labyrinth and almost dealing a major blow against Rimuru, Rimuru would've had a much easier time during that arc if he wasn't there, granted a justification for his skill was given then but by then everything was resolved

Like bad rage, Masayuuki is the most unnecessary character, WN was so much better since he's not in it

How dare you

The gifs scared the shit out of me

I thought they would use magic to brainwash him or something, were they just doing nothing and letting him sit there?
