I’ve read enough isekais to unfortunately know what to expect from that girl with the twin tails. Erica is enough to deal with but I know the twin tails girl is gonna be annoying later on. I bet Erica and her are going to have some stupid confrontation about their love and respect for Harold. It’s most likely gonna be so annoying cause the plot currently is good enough with the whole Justus and the layers behind Harold’s actions.
Worst case scenario, we’re gonna have that assassin girl, El (who I thought was a dude at first ngl) and the twin tail girl vying for Harold’s love, or either their whole character is gonna be purely built upon their interactions with Harold. I hope that isn’t the case, cause I want that time to be spent on genuine things I want to see unfold or get clarification on.
One being, what exactly is Justus plan? Harold has talked about the demon king but he hasn’t gone into depth about what he’ll do, even though all his actions are garnered around that. Also the Stellar Tribe seems to be a victim in this based on the assassin’s point of view but at the same time, how deep is the corruption for them to just be able to have the power to execute a noble kid. What are Harold’s shitty parents gonna do considering Harold is shipped off (I wish they played up the whole ‘noble blood is the best blood’ belief system of the parents a bit more rather than spend so much time with the Sumeragi family.) I think it would have been a good way for us to learn as readers just how corrupted the society is rather than snide actions by passing background characters (that one chapter with the general who came to the White Knights meeting as an example.)
The potato plan, can we go back to that? Like that was good, but we keep cutting to the Sumeragi family who I get the purpose of but there’s just other things going on man. Also the Sumeragi family is so confusing as they aren’t working in Harold’s best interest and have this weird loyalty that is somehow inconveniencing. Cause why are they so selfish in setting up Erica with Harold?
It’s not even just that Harold does not want it and he’s done enough for them where they could just respect that, but he calls Erica bitch!!! As a father why would you want your daughter to marry a kid who disrespects your daughter every chance he gets, if there’s no longer a political motive. And Erica STAND UP!!!! Respect yourself why are you dead set on helping a boy who is three seconds away from spitting on you, and you’re blushing cause he pat your head? The bar is in the Mariana Trench!!!! And I cannot for the life of me care about the assassin girl and I wish I saw the brother more or that one guard friend he made at the Stokes family cause I believe what Harold needs more than anything right now is a goddamn friend (not only the colleagues he used his whole reputation to protect after knowing for less than a year, that are also second doubting him) and THEY WERE RIGHT THERE. TWO GOOD PALS THAT HAD THE POWER AND CLOSENESS TO HIM TO KEEP HIM IN CHECK!!!
It’s not like the WHOLE Stokes household is supporting the parents so I don’t get why we can’t see him interact with the butler and other servants more. Also I get that he needs the family to crash cause of their corruption but I feel that we rarely spent time seeing how bad they are rather than just a few snippets in a couple panels.
Why have we barely gotten the perspectives of the OG hero and the servant daughter that was saved? (Oh my gosh I hope the servant daughter doesn’t fall for Harold while she has a partner literally fighting to protect her.) I know that they’re story is just about to start and the whole White Chivalry Arc was interesting but that time skip after could’ve been handled with a a couple chapters rather than jumping to Harold taking a request from the twin tailed girl.
Also I find it wild that this whole country hears that a 13 year old noble kid is gonna be executed for being a spy and they don’t call bullshit. Like yeah he’s strong but are kids above the age of 10, adults in this world?! How is noone reasoning that’s legitimately not possible for that age. Regardless, I still feel that this novel has potential, once they don’t waste time with love interest.
