About time

Less of a mass release because of these filler chapters and such a slow plot watching tragedy unfurl.

No, that's your argument.

Save 9th brother? Isn't Panda presumably dead?

I still wonder why pandas are called "iron eaters".

Maybe it's evolving because it consumed Panda, like Panda maybe you should have retreated so it didn't get a power-up and to save your life for a future battle.

Inspirational but foolish, you can't protect anyone if you die and instead become food for the monster to grow stronger.

I'm sure Panda will survive maybe MC will intervene in time with the inspiration of the world seeing the heroic battle.

So heartwarming!

If MC tree were helping humans could realize MC isn't a enemy and could be a allie and that would help alot with things.

That's funny with the dramatic yellow energy around Panda streaking behind em and "ping" gentile tap against the 4th order monster.

What's sad is all the senseless human death, theoretically lots of good people getting slaughtered, and MC doesn't seem to care.  The old  "Only give a damn about the people I know and like" trope.

Well it has been shown before other people absorbing essence. Like that ghost woman inside xir twin got a silver centipede or something essence inside em after defeating it.

I don't think it requires physical consumption though, just absorbing their energy is enough.

Stop pushing your anti-pronoun waifu agenda. 

Gender neutral pronoun is so incredibly easy to grasp. It is not "Swedish".

If you "turn against me" because you are unable to understand such a simple concept, so what? What do I care of the wraith of the online idiot playing word police.

Got it, you live in a fantasy world and there is no use talking to you. 

I better not see you use "waifu" in comments then because not only your idiotic prejudicial type read these comics and comment

Do you really think everyone believes your lies regarding "shenanigans" etc.?

People decide to use a word in a certain way with a certain meaning, other people copy or don't. That is how language evolves. I am not the first person to use such gender neutral pronouns, even your self rightious idiotic rant about "crazy people" indicates you know that. But even I was, so fucking what, get over yourself. No one is forcing you to use the word even though it's loads more better and more useful than "waifu" with it's almost nonexistent inconsistent 'meaning',

Geck, do you writhe on the ground every time you read "xe"? Does it cause you mental anguish? Do you spend nights avoiding sleep because you might dream of reading "xe"?
Sorry to hear that, get psychological help immediately.

I'm sorry you are too old to know what a pronoun is, but hopefully this will help https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pronoun

"they/them" are plural. If you say "also singular" then it's doing double duty and thus less useful as a word.

"ultimately masculinity and femininity are concepts grounded in reality"

False, those are made up concepts no more "real" than words like "they" or "xe". And even if they were real "ground in reality" things (again just made up nonsense) surely you don't think it's relevant to all things all the time that we always need to establish someones 'gender'(made up concept) no matter what. 

That aside, what if you don't know someones gender but must talk about them. Like you saw someone sneaking in the back of your house but didn't get a good look at them etc. but immediately want to make clear it was only one person. Or talking about someone online, most of the time you don't know which made up concept they categorize themselves as. Some people seem to use male pronouns for anyone unknown, which is extra idiotic and sexist, but I don't see people flipping out about it with stupid tirades about it like you are.

I figure Lily ran out of mana at the end, like a close call. Like Lilly held back a massive swarm of giant super spiders nearly single-handedly.  The sniper priest can always hit, no exceptions. So Lily having a full proof protection with mana would make sense as well, and the comic is still very video game like and the concept of characters using mana for health makes sense in that regard too.

You might be right though, it would make sense for one of the elves to save Lilly because that would be narrative useful. But Lilys ability wouldn't disappear either. And sure Lily was out of mana at one point but other people took over and Lily had some time to rest and recover mana, yes xe has (take that, crazy ranter)

All language is invented. Gender neutral pronouns are useful. Way more useful than nonsensical inconstant words like "waifu" and worse found here in comments like these, including some highly sexist shit.

Your tirade is self righteous nonsensical garbage.
