Seija Musou: Salaryman, Isekai de Ikinokoru Tame ni Ayumu Michi

[neflight86]

I can't really blame you. The quality of the story started declining and has simply continued to do so, slowly, for about 8 weeks now. In these last few episodes, we got a few answers, but none of them pertinent or even interesting. I have no idea what the story is trying to do now. Is Luciel the only person who braves the labyrinth at all anymore? We haven't seen any others down there for 4 episodes.

The reception girls come to visit and... just hang out, I guess helping with his charitable healing in the capital and remind them that they exist? The whole beastfolk side arc was a huge, mushy misstep, and the substance x reveal was more flaccid than than my stand-up set. Complete waste to bother attributing Luciel's sexless nature to the potion when the audience already included it in his 'salaryman/reincarnation protagonist with a dream' trope but instead is an unfunny joke.

Just grinding, leveling, and everyone praising the MC. Where have I seen this before? Maybe in about a hundred or so mediocre isekai stories? The only remaining flicker of an interesting story line I have to grab onto is the emperor and the potential mystery of the dungeon, which we will likely not see.

Using substance x as an actual combat deterrent is too lazy and crass to be funny, and the skeleton fight it exploits wasn't worth devaluing the tension to make, effectively, another fart joke.

I'm not dropping quite yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if anyone did.

He just saved a whole district of the capital and how do the previously long-suffering, now saved folks there thank him? By calling him using insulting nicknames. Like how the heck could that ever happen? This is the pitiful epitome of the author's sense of humour, and thus the author keeps repeating the same idiotic joke endlessly every chance he gets. This is what happens when the system has no editors or, like the author of Sono Bisque Doll puts it: if the only things the editors ever request from the author are cute girls, romcom, and panty shots. A genuinely talented author can still deal with it, especially if they happen to have some family or friends who could check the script, but the author of this Seija Musou neither has talent nor anyone who would tell him he keeps writing bullshit.
