Why is it that right after Vinland Saga pulled the slowest season ever, Mushoku follows that style?

You know, I have enjoyed all episodes of this new season so far, I really did. But I still hate this slow pacing considering we're not getting 52 episodes without break, nah, it's just 12 episodes, then a break, then 12 more episodes. And then probably at least a year before season 3 airs. Ugh.

As for slut elf, I hope Rudy gets to bang her. Let him bang a hot, curvy woman for once.
