I really, really wish we could be done with this sword fight like I don't hate samurai but I can see a samurai fight in so many goddamn manga the whole point of this was weird fun matchups so why are we doing the samurai v samurai fight.

Weirdly enough I've read like three or four series where a main character has awakened powers of some sort just to look at a naked woman. And not once have I questioned it.

What's with the double text?

To be fair they did have this exact conversation about leaving the mountain like two arcs ago but then just... didn't leave for some reason, I was honestly confused that it took this long for that conversation to lead to anything. I'd say the biggest weakness in this series is it's world building and cast because it hasn't really introduced any character likable enough to support a subplot outside of the bandits, meaning most people just don't care when it's not with the bandits. And because the big bad threat is nearly entirely ancillary to the bandits we don't really care about that either.

I still like his coworker over his (not blood related) cousin if only because their dynamic is more entertaining and varied, but it seems it's not meant to be.

Well he's in the unique position of "girlfriend but isn't allowed to get laid cuz every time he almost does his friends put his whole relationship in jeopardy" and as such he wants to insure that if he can't get some none of them can either, especially because they sabotaged him plenty. He's totally fine sabotaging them. It's A mutually assured destruction of sorts.

I just read the sauce, I now regret asking for sauce.

Damn main character barely participated in that it's just kind of completely went to s*** before he could even really do anything.

Yeah that car caught me completely off guard.

I think this is one of the first times he's been straight up caught off guard by someone else's odd behavior.

It's wild how he just told that whole conjecture about what it's most likely to happen and what's the best strategy to prevent it, and then he just tried to parlay that into her helping him kill those assassins as if it was actually related, like he really just tried to finesse that you got to respect the attempt.

That series felt so good until suddenly it was just concentrated madness.

Most of the cast, in the sense that they don't just go full murder boner anytime there's any conflict, people are actually willing to talk things out, anyone that acts irrational at least has a reason for it other than "because they're a Dick" people actually seem to think through their decisions sometimes instead of just doing s*** and then being like "oh God the consequences of my actions!?" The fantasy genre and manga has a high ceiling but a very low floor as far as writing goes so I'm glad that this series is at least well above the floor.
