The problem is we aren't watching most players, we're watching this guy who can easily solve a problem that the series is quintessentially named after, when we say this is a problem - we mean from a metatexual point of view not an in universe one. Regardless of how it's set up in the story the effect we get is that we are 4 chapters in and he is already resolved a supposedly major aspect of his character, without much actual struggle on display. It's like setting up a premise about how hard it is to climb mountains for a movie and within the first 5 minutes you're at the top of Kilimanjaro, no build up no struggle you're just there. It makes the very idea that this was supposed to be about how hard climbing mountains is seem pointless.

Hey look! somebody deleted their random hyperbolic death threat, do you think your words got through to them.

From a real world viewpoint yes, in universe though what they're doing is 1.state sanctioned 2. generally accepted as acceptable behavior in the region they're in 3.a method that while cruel was seemingly born from previous mercies just not working out (and generational hatred, lots and lots of generational hatred) either way though what this means is that the main character has no actual in universe reason to just stand there and watch them die when he could have very easily saved them, it actually makes less sense for him not to save them because they're down more people the less people he helps which means they're less able to fight other threats later on, plus the more people die the worse his report looks when he has to go back.

I'm really vibing with this ending, like yeah Sukuna is dead, but we still have s*** to do in the morning so we got to get back to the grind, it kind of reminds you that they were all students that just kind of got dragged into a bunch of high-level bullshit one thing after another through no major fault of their own. Kind of reminds me of how chill it was right after the namek saga when they were waiting for the Dragon balls to recharge and just sort of hanging out between threats like "that was some shit we just saw, anyways want to play golf?" It's paced more like a movie than anything else though so I suppose some people just aren't satisfied by this chill wrap up. But honestly I'd rather have that then setting up a sequel or having another big bad reveal last second or doing a big ass time skip out of nowhere so that you can just kind of skip the wrap up part of the last arc while also conveniently not actually having to resolve any character arcs because you skipped the part where they resolved, or just having a big satisfying conclusion and then doing another Arc right after that for no discernible reason that kind of fucks up your good ending or dragging your plot along further and further until the whole thing feels empty to read, no hype no excitement just a grim march to the end or the "super happy everything worked out let's not think about the people that died" wrap up.

That's been on here for awhile, under the Japanese name: Machigatta ko wo Mahou Shoujo ni Shite Shimatta

Yo her dad is a real one.

I do like that at this point that entire squad's thought process has been slightly tainted by the main character.

Yeah, but in this case they were on the protagonists side and he showed no particular hatred or distain for their methods, if anything he was understanding of their viewpoint.

It's ironic because the main character is an author that got punished because his stories were unsatisfying and had poor follow through.

It's always kind of fucked up when a main character just watches the Rank-and-file get murdered but only decides to help when one of the named characters is at risk of dying when it would have cost him nothing to help the Grunts.

I'm guessing he wanted to see how things will play out, saw that he would get to fight the strong guy and let it ride.
