We don't really have any active adversaries currently. At best we have mml(not saying he is an adversary), and that's nice, but a story and it's characters deepen with conflict.

The demon who was chucking spears a while ago.Edit. Makes it all the more ironic that the guy who semi-devoured him turned into his spear.

At least it didn't turn into a duel for the honor of the waifus

Where do they even go at this point?

I don't know if this will be the same but, in order to keep novel readers on their toes I've seen manga/webtoons switch the proceeds of different scenarios. For example, in scenario b you fight the enemies from scenario c and get it's rewards instead.

I'm not completely sure but I'm pretty sure it's a "I come in peace" thing. Similar to how swords were stored in times of war versus peaceful/welcoming talks.

I think it's a test for competency not personality. Of course he will have a better personality but an incompetent saint is worse off being king than a competent devil.

He is but it could be npc possession. This could also explain MC's regression a bit. Let's say he got possessed here, some outside force that doesn't want this in particular guy or NPCs in general to do this, then that individual or faction finds a champion. Sends him back in time before the possession, and hope that the butterfly effect will take of it at that point.

Shorter journey than some and would have liked to have gotten more exposition. All in all, a favorite that I will remember for a long time to come and will recommend to any fantasy enjoyers.https://i.postimg.cc/bYM3nqLF/i.jpg

Off topic thought, if people who are "good" live longer and people who are "evil" decay, how long would the MC live for?

Maybe sleeper agents?

I think it would be easier to call it "peak of humanity". Especially since he is now entering the territory of the paranormal. On top of all that and him having his sword skills nerfed till now, he was also learning new techniques. He becoming more of a jack of all trades than a master of one at this point.

I don't think we know how many there are

If the authority was anything other than a lich phylactery I would disagree. But you don't give an MC a version of immortality unless you expect them to use it at some point.

Has it been proven wether or not he gets kids?

Nah, that's gonna be a pokemon I bet. Waifu would be too cliche but I wouldn't put a new pokemon past them.

Just catching up to this now, fairly certain they were sarcastic with all the dots and all.

It because more often than not, some if not most of the passionate writers are behind these kinds of stories.

We are already getting more than we bargained for on this site.
