Damn.
The fact that we can see the result of the intent of both swordmasters, then the real thing, step my step, is genius and so fucking awesome.
This is probably the best swords fight I've every seen in a manga.

Whoa.
This is so bad...
The fight is mostly both screaming "You're gonna die"; "No, You!"; "No You!" like dumbasses... and then, there's the ginormous cliché of the dude leaving just before she probably defended him...
This is so dumb it actually made my brain hurt.

This is getting boring.
When you continue to pile shit after shit on the FMC without resolving anything, it just gets boring.
I starting to not care about about this. This isn't drama, this is just depressing.

The old dude should have just died before being possessed.
This is just padding the story for no reason.

The MC is already recognized as the contractor of the poseidon-like spirit, the fight was neatly ended by the dragonkin with a deep deep grudge against the old dude.
Now we have to witness a pointless Deus Ex Machina followed by another pointless Plot Armor. Utterly useless...

This feels... wrong.
I've had that feeling for a while, but this chapter confirms it for me.
The author has completely pivoted the story to a pure 3 Kingdoms Epic...
There's almost nothing of the original intent in this.

I don't think I'm interested anymore...

Well, this has gone from mid to bad.
At least there's only 3 chapters left.

Oh, thank you.
So, now, he is learning to manipulate mana without it passing through his mana paths.
Thanks for your explanation, it made this arc make so much more sense!

And again, this story is touching, thought-provoking, intense, beautiful, and shockingly unpredictable.

I really thought this fight would drag on for a while, with the MC ultimately forgiving the Constellation Killer. I wasn't expecting such a fast, pitiful, but emancipating death.

This makes me sad.
The ending of this story was very predictable, but sad nonetheless.

I'm supposed to be hyped, but I'm just confused.
What a mess of a chapter, with barely readable art. I can't even say the artist was lazy, he clearly was not, that seemed like needing a lot of effort... but maybe he had a stroke while drawing this?!?

Well, at least the translation team didn't have too much work this time...

Oh, so I wasn't the only one thinking that.
This is boring, and the art was downgraded too... I really hope something interesting happens soon, I'm getting a bit tired of these filler chapters...

I feel like the pace of this story just got reeeeaaaaally slow, like, you could skip the chapters since the beginning of the season and not really miss anything.

I dunno, maybe I'm just impatient, but this feels a tad boring to me at the moment.

God damn.
That was epic.

I was getting anxious. I really thought that the MC would do the stupid thing of letting a psychopath go because his niece asked, that would have been really dumb.
First, because not killing this kind of monster make you complicit in her future victim's demise.
Second, because the niece is in an actual competition to get her S-Rank powers with said psychopath.
And it's not like this was a cold blooded killing... the psycho actually premeditated the kidnapping and killing of multiple people, the niece included.

This is really problematic.
This MC is completely bonkers, a full on sociopath and psychopath.
His actions are greedy, selfish and mostly evil.
He kills willy-nilly people that would be MCs in other stories, like, interesting and tragic people.

But I still like him. He's pretty much on my list of favorite MCs ever now.

This might reveal something wrong with me, I think.

Mmmh. Damn, that first arc way really good, and the whole concept should stop things from becoming too stale.
Like SSS Suicidal Hunter, they can have a real beginning, middle and satisfying end with both characters as the common denominator.

I was kinda afraid, and still am a bit, that the common trope in redo/time travel/reincarnation stories of fucking over the MC every time he accomplishes anything would come again, but for the moment, it seems safe.
I'm OK with a MC that can struggle from time to time, but Berserk stated this horrible tendency to fuck over the MC in the worst way possible for no faults of his own... and I'm tired of it.

"Bajura", really close and similar to the Spanish "Basura", meaning "Trash...

Fucking genius.

I'm guessing this won't work, as the constellation killer might do something about it, but genius nonetheless.

The Noble's reaction is waaaay too late, so late in fact, that it makes their attempt at coercion worst.

"Oh no! The saint has the power to destroy our whole nation alone, by political means, might or popularity with the common folks"
"And now he has an army of people as strong as him too!"
"I know! Let's piss him off as much as possible, this will resolve the issue, for sure!"

I will pause this for a few week. The story is fire, but......
Those cliffhangers are literally killing me. I think I've developed an ulcer because of them.
