somnia's manga / #Shoujo(205)

First of all, this is an amazing take on the reincarnation/isekai cliche. I cried like a b*tch during multiple chapters. It's very much still cliche though, there's this "girl is modest, girl only do magic and men fight" kind of undertone to it, but I think the bigger is the GIANT PLOTHOLE THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT??? WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT IT??? This awful Goddess was able to cockblock a holy deathray from this priestress and basically skype called both FL and the hero no problem all the time... WHY DIDN'T SHE DO ANYTHING TO HELP FL'S FIRST LIFE FROM MESSING UP THE DEMON SOUL CLEANSING!? NVM THAT, WHY DIDN'T SHE INTERFERE THE OTHER REINCARNATIONS' TRAGEDIES BEFORE THE WORLD WAS UNABLE TO HANDLE MORE MAGIC? I also do not understand why the heroes and the demon king are connected. It was explained that Marcus absorbed the demon king's soul and became the second demon king that way, and then the Goddess bestowed new vessel powers to another dude to fight him (btw why even do that?) - so how are these new heroes even connected to the demon king? The author made these magic shenanigans so convoluted and twisted that they contradict each other in the end. It would've been better if the Goddess was a no-show and/or just powerless. Her involvement alone kind of destroys my enjoyment of the story. Man, I was so mad when she talked about how Jun just got karma'd by the universe for being resentful when she is the sheer cause of this bullshittery, and the only one who is truely able to change shit but doesn't. I didn't finish complaining about the Goddess either, there's still at least 2 more complaints and contradictions I can point out about her. The author wrote themselves into a corner trying to make so much magic fate destiny shit up. Alone the whole thing about Jun's friends becoming her protective patrons or whatever is so out of left field. Then there's this random comment from the Goddess saying MC's current lover/hero could become a demon king, even though the demon king's soul is cleansed and gone. What? They just kept adding more tragic magic mechanics and ended up with a mess. From a objective view it would've been better to stick to a simple magic formula instead of creating some epic crescendo. Please hate that Goddess with me. But alas, I still love the story and will reread it again. The ending alone makes my heart melt.
