It's just that the fighting is relative borish.I don't mind that they're skipping over the political posturing bullshit and just getting down to fighting. That's the crap that bogged down Vanadis. There are shows that do that sort of thing well, and shows like this where if they pretended to do it, it would just be poorly done and ruin the pacing. Leave that to Maoyuu Maou Yuusha and Spice and Wolf and the space operas.
The mage vs mage fight was basically non-existent, a random lowlevel lord with nearly no skills whatsoever (MC) came rushing in and finished the job. The mage was exhausted, but there was absolutely nothing that classified him as a mage during most of the fight. Why didn't he use his invisibility more often or zap at least once or twice.
The enemy lord went on to charge a castle with 50 men but no real means to take the walls. Woot?
MC faced the enemy in front of the wall instead behind. Woot?
There was no way the polearm woman couldn't basically kill everyone, whether they "fall back" or not. She leaps hundreds of meters with a single jump and can change directions mid-air. There is no escaping that.
And I have to admit, she hyped me up real good when she starting swinging that weapon of hers.
I don't know, the fighting is horrible, which is why I want to see political warfare and intrigue... or at least clever tactics, he is behind enemy lines after all.
I'm thinking the opposite, the fighting is taking the story down the drain, because it's super generic and makes very, very little sense.
