this feels like it has eons upon eons of filler (literally at least 20 chapters of background story). the main character is in a literal bubble in a fight having these revolutionary realizations for 10+ chapters, yet we barely see it.

i think there have been a million opportunities for his “darker” and stronger self to pull through here and at least make a dent in this long ass fight, yet all we get is the mc being all like “i am NOT a coward. i can DO SOMETHING!” cmon bruh its FUN to have him go a little crazy every once and a while. why write in an alter ego if youre not going to present it?? i get the whole “mc needs to get strong without the help of his ego!” but like these are dire times?? we can worry about his little mental evolutions when they’re not all about to die???

this has the potential to be so fun to read but it’s just not being done well. i hope to see it improve in the coming chapters now that so much backstory is out of the way.
