Tis a shame but at some point the writing and art got lessened. At least seems likse the author will tell the story.

Fishes be scary in this isekai

In defense of the adaptation, I think is not necessarily because the author wants to dumb it down, but rather it has to keep the pacing fluid.
Since the adaptation to manwha makes it more of a action story, the author does need to keep the flow from feeling too word heavy, or it would feel like its adapting action scenes and leaving all text, haha

Anyways, love your input.
I certainly feel like reading the novel now.

And then, as I said, I would agree... but I think it's cute enough for me to be ok with it.

It also builds some ideas through parallels, but, yeah, sometimes just having a calm chapter is nice.

Ya know, I thought I would hate chapters that don't advance anything... but this was cute.

He certainly is trying!!!

Studies, such a difficult time

So close, so close, but a miss.

I wonder what it would take for her to trust and him to open up.

Stories like this thrive on the knowledge of the MC becoming unusable as the story progresses.

But this one takes the cake lmao.

This feels like a chapter to prepare something.

I do like how she's slowly opening up to him because her subconscious sees Izumi when with Ishizumi, lol.

He does get quite complacent, so hopefully this push him a bit more.

Didn't know spontaneity could reach sexuality, oh my word.

It feels more like he is detaching himself from others instead.
He didn't add his name to the table back then.

He really feels quite detached.

An interesting way to show potential for growth both in power, and as a hero, while not making her OP right away.

For FUCK's sake, I just knew things were going in an oddly too optimistic way!

I still have no idea who this dude is but I immediately am thinking "fuck this guy" lol

Well... probably, most likely, yes.
