This smells like an axe. That power creep jump was immense and fast as fuck. There were many hints but that still hit the ground at light speed.
But if it isn't then I don't see how they're gonna play it off with some lightheartedness or go back to moderately chill or less serious, than THIS.
it's a nice side arc, but a bit long and should have been more sidelined. We're not here for an OP shounen spy action manga after all. It's good just not the main deal, nice as a teaser but should have been on an accelerated release or something.
Aw, expected Kerbit to be more disappointed, pathetic or frugal in her retrieval of her coin. That super minor detail wasn't clear in the WN. I was hoping it would be clearer here but MC interfered
@sjmcc13 this isn't quite plot armor, it's premise/title armor. Instead of it being "Because the plot requires it" it's "because its existence requires it"
Like Saitama's strength.

Kurt wanted MC's magic to benefit the land, the thoughts of a good ruler. However he didn't have the foresight to realize how that would influence his position. The realization of this is what seeded or accelerated his own insecurity and wariness. This was further impacted by Kurt...
