Man, the more I read this, the more I'm convinced that the story would be better from the point of view of the Aesirs...
I mean, they actually make plans and execute them, they aren't running around like a headless chicken using Deus Ex to get out of trouble non stop.
Yeah, they keep losing in the end, but that because the MC's plot armor seems to be an alloy of Vibranium and Adamantium...

On the other side, every "good guy" in this story seems to be either dumb as bricks or completely useless...

Reaper Scans was dissolved because of a cease and desist from Kakao, the original publisher of many of their series.
So yeah, it's a new translation team, as the old one is dead.

The "new" team is "Demonic Scanlations", they do more literal translation with as less interpretation as possible. They are usually quite good, tho.

They pretty much took up all the Reaper Scans series, so get used to them ;)

I'm pretty sure Theodore dying would plunge his domain into Chaos, as he is the last descendant alive of the rulers of the domain.
His domain is fairly powerful, so this would have considerably weakened the power of the Kingdom in general, opening the way for other nations to try a take chunks of it, or maybe even some of its territories would try to go independent.
Not killing him and puppeteering him would be more beneficial. They keep him in check with the rifts opening, he stays in power, the Kingdom stays strong, the Everett family keeps control of the Kingdom in its shadows.

I think the reason they didn't kill him is pretty much the same reason Lily deduced why they removed his memories...

Wait a second, why is everybody considering the ceasefire as official...
If I'm not mistaken, a ceasefire is an agreement of BOTH parties to momentarily pause the war... not one unilaterally choosing to do so...

That seems like a mistake by the author to me... maybe I'll be proven wrong in the next chapters, but if Dmitri decides to continue the conflict, and everybody accuses them of unfair warfare, that would be pretty shit writing.

Oh, no Elf.
I really though that he would at least inform her, even if he doesn't plan to recruit her. Especially because he still needs another ranged attacker...

Is there a reason why he wants the team to be exactly 5 people? It might have been explained and I just forgot...

OK, this can't be a coincidence.
That's totally a reference to Monthy Python and The Holy Grail.

I was half-expecting sir Yappee to monologue something like
"Demons burn, what else burns... Wood burns... what does wood do too... Wood floats, what else floats... DUCKS!"
"If they weight more than a duck, they are Demons!"

Thanks... now, if he is NOT called Hans, I'll be disappointed.

No, I actually think they meant zombies.
In the following chapters, they show something in putrefaction, mindless and desiring flesh.
Jiangshi don't rot, and they don't eat either. So I'm pretty sure the translation is right.

Wait... was the reveal that Lupiter was the son of Chronos and Gaia supposed to be a surprise?
Like, the author treated this chapter like some big "WOW" reveal for something so obvious?

I'm beginning to doubt the writing skills of this author.
Also, this chapter's background seem awfully... convenient for the artist...

That's it for me.
This story was getting dumber and dumber, but the MC just did what I hate the most.
Being all confident with words like "I will squash you like a bug" or "I have no need for a worm like you" or whatever...
And then spending the rest of the time being surprised by everything "How is he so fast! How is he so strong! Kugh! I cannot win this!"

So fucking stupid.
There's only 2 good reason to make a MC arrogant.
1. To humble him by making him learn his lesson ONCE, not every arc.
2. Because he is actually OP as fuck for real.
And this shit ain't it.
So, Like Snoop Dee Oh Double Gee would say, Imma drop it like it's hot.

Funny.
The old dude that has all the power, money and influence one could wish for is jealous of the poor granddad, who still has to work to survive, lost his kid just got his grandkid back after years missing.
Just because one can have fancy but cold cold meals, and the other has simple but cozy and warm meals.

Oh?
Maybe finally an actual master, someone that is just better than the MC who could teach him, that could be fun.

Mmmh...
A Dark Path young prodigy, a reincarnated Dark Emperor, a Door Guardian that is pretty much a God, an Ice Witch hunted by her clan... and that's only the closest disciples, there also the Elders, Spirits...
Yeah, pretty much half his Clan would turn the world against him if their true identity were known.

Oh, and the damn Clan Leader isn't even from this world...

Crazy Bastard.
He actually found a way to climb the 3 walls on the same day.

This is easily my favorite ongoing story now. And it's leading the others by a lot.

I loved this story, because it wasn't filled with too many clichés, or it was trying to subvert them.
The last few chapters were flashbacks only, then "my love/friendship is the most powerful".
He literally beat that demon with the power of love, such BS care bear cliché is really unbecoming of this story, I think.
And apparently the MC had no hesitation sacrificing the soul of a young innocent orphan girl that never asked for it, that he actually seemed to care for, but goes above and beyond for someone who sold her soul to a demon willingly...

Wow, this is boring as fuck now.
I guess I'll think of this as if the MC defeated the gun dude, end of story.
Time to drop...

Ah, I'm sorry, I might have been unclear about what I actually want. Up till around chapter 20, the prep and other stuff was the main focus of the story, with action being the cherry on top.
Right now, I feel like the tendance inverted, with action as the focus and the rest as the bonus.
I'm not overly fond of the action scenes in this manga, they're not bad, but not really good either.

I don't think it's a pure battle-manga yet, but I fear that the author might be trying to shift the focus to more action, and I would miss how the pacing of the story was during the first 20 chapters.

I'm not saying there's no more of the rest right now, I'm just saying that there's way less of it in the last 10 chapters.

This is devolving into a Battle Manga with Fan Service, and I don't think I like that.
I hope we can go back to Team Building, strategizing, evolving, preparation and survival/mild horror peppered with action, instead of this abundance of mediocre action only.

I really hate this.
For me, the trope started when Goku went Super-Saiyan after Krillin's death.
Up until then, every power ups was due to efforts, talent and training.
Then, it all went to shit.

That's what I feel is happening here, and I hate this.

Yeah, this is BS...
I'll pause reading this for like 6 months I think, those cliffhangers are making me want to drop it altogether...
