Oh wow this actually just gets worse. Good to tune into while tipsy, at least.

Doesn't stop it from being lousy writing. Or a bad translation.

Because the action is vague as hell to deliberately let the writer cherry-pick an NPC from the cadavers while letting it hold the illusion of seriousness.

In all truth, if the rapes were this brutal and visceral the images would be very, very different and far more gorish. Pulvierized hips, express & profuse bleeding, broken limbs, etc.

Harem ain't always romance. Problem here is the writer won't commit to either romance (girls falling for MC) or pragmatism (Girls exchanging value to gain support/resources from MC & keep him stable/happy).

Hate to break the thought, but if commitment were that easy, then the divorce rate wouldn't exist outside single digits in the modern world. The author's just throwing things at the wall and hoping they stick. The Tamaki girl makes no sense as a character, and the info dump is genuinely worse since she's been given zero time to display any behaviors that would synch with and compliment said backstory. Even Alice's suggestion was entirely out of pocket for what we've seen/learned of her.

The Shiki girl is the only one who could reasonably suggest harem activity, since she's acted with clear vision that MC and Alice are their only real shot at survival. But even then, the execution of that is really off. There should be scenes and tension between Shiki and Alice to convey the harem idea as a possibility and a means of conflict.

This shit's throwing all kinds of mixed signals. I can't tell what the author's thinking at all. But I can tell this will likely get an axe.

Plot building is falling into a strange world, being given talismen & weapons, told you're the chosen one, and filling out the world by setting out on the quest. This is just a power fantasy with slower steps. Nothing complex about it at all, not even the mechanics.

Life's too short to care. The important thing is that everyone knows he don't wanna be saved.

I'm more bemused you even cared enough to run the string this long. Fly straight & true dude.

No, I simply got better to focus on than your one comment you're using as an excuse to be capt. save-a-ho.

Exactly where do you think we are?

Just so you know, everything you said here does not apply to commercial fiction.

And like that, the joke's worn its welcome out.

There's another tale where a boy on the verge of suicide from his depression, lack of confidence, & isolation, managed to get his way into killing thieves, raiding dungeons, buying a slave, then plowing her every single night. Then gained a dwarf waifu to increase that to threesomes.

Sometimes, stupid is just stupid.

He also isn't getting any despite blowing that much money. So yeah, dumb.

It ain't lolicon

Plot-wise, yes. It's the writer's fault for taking their act 2 and setting it up in such a way that it's a grand conclusion that closed off almost every other thread. With a theme like revenge and the setting being so personable (man vs a group of 3), a laser-like focus is preferable to a grand narrative suited more for war dramas than a story like this. We started very well with Freiya being turned, and that leading to the downfall of another key player as well as a few minor oppositions on the side. However, you can almost smell the image of the primary editor laying their clammy hands on the author's shoulders and whispering the sickening words most readers (rightfully) hate them for:

"The profits are good. Pace this out."

Bullet should not be alive. He shouldn't be some renown super spy master. He shouldn't even have considerable resistance to the embryo that fell almost everyone else who got corrupted. But because this is being dragged out, now the audience is without considerable investments and just wants this obvious short story to wrap up. Yet here we go, full-fledged into another kingdom that has not been remotely important until now, thanks to skills from Bullet that were injected into his ass last-minute by a fourth wall syringe, while the smoldering ashes of the main plot have satisfactorily burnt around him. There's nothing else to wish for. It's not like he's a complicated villain—he's a butt-busting rapist with a shouta fetish.

Both LN author and mangaka needed to have wrapped this all up, taken a vacation, then started on their next story last year.
