I like everything but the system, I think I'm just sick of status screens in these series at this point.

Yeah this is one of those situations where the clearly evil antagonist has some kind of mental manipulation power so I'm holding my judgment until the end.

You put it into words, like I was reading this thinking "why does she look so off putting like something's off about her gaze?" But it's because she's in a constant state of locked in.

To be fair he spent more than half this series being fairly aimless. with his initial goal being survival, then quickly it transferred over to resource gathering/ information gathering sort of either try to find a way home or evidence of his family, then he just sort of wondered about doing odd jobs for a while. he only really started to sort of have a distinct goal after he got randomly summoned by the goddess into that war and then decided he's got to two-piece her up for that(among other things). I honestly think this Arc wouldn't be that bad and would kind of serve as a good framework to add some structure to this series for a bit if the series didn't update so slowly.
As for the "every series having a school ark for no reason" thing I think it's somewhat similar to why so many shounen series have a tournament Arc: it's a quick and easy way to provide an instantly pre-established structured Arc that's easily planable, introduces several interesting characters all at once, you can use it to easily draw in(or play with) well known tropes, and it serves as a good place to do some wheel spinning, it can either be a long Arc where several characters are introduced and fleshed out, or it could get " suddenly interrupted" by a big plot thing to cut it short whenever you need to. Plus it appeals to the demographic that they're often aiming for which is honestly people still in school or freshly out of school.

Ah yes the overlord dilemma, just when that series sort of caught up with the anime it dropped one season then another season within a couple months.

I was thrown off by the blue but otherwise I don't mind it because it just means I don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom comment section to check if I have replies.

My phrasing was unclear, I meant that what he specifically did was chronostasis, generally though that is still a power that falls under chronokinesis, like Chrono kinesis is any supernatural manipulation with time based on will or mental effort, chrono stasis / Chrono kinetic stasis would be the specific term for just freezing time either using will or other means. It's like how every superhuman feat in Dragon Ball z is technically an effort of ki manipulation, but like a ki blast is different from like a reinforcement technique, despite both being ki manipulation.

Yeah it happened while I was at work so it had to happen within the last 8 hours, the red color is now your notifications for comments.

Wasn't bihei there the whole time too? I don't remember but it feels like he was there too.

Something weird would be fun, like she tries for a dove or pheasant and ends up a chicken or something.

Double cult, it's cults all the way down.

I love that the crowd is similar to the Kengan crowd, but decisively more horny and strange, it enhances the vibe of madness in the ring for me.

I love to see the shark teeth come in handy.

Oh you know nothing good is going to come to you when the shark teeth sharpen.

Him naming his moves after guns makes more sense considering that amount of speed and force.

Why does she make me think of Kuma from Tekken.

I feel like she's similar to the Fang dude in this regard, a naturally gifted adaptoid of a fighter.

I was confused for a second as to why her thought bubbles also had the accent, but I guess it was for the sake of consistency.

That and when fighting the main character she was told that she didn't have experience fighting her equals so she's only used to overwhelming advantage, I guess the start of this match was her adapting.
