FL discourse sides-
ANTI FL: ex-weabs who have been subjected to the mortifying ordeal of seeing their past toxic behavior as a preteen now presented as quirky and lovable. feels the despair of cassandra foretelling tragedies but dismissed as overreacting
PRO-FL: still in their weab and koreaboo phase, faced with IRL mediocrity so they completely astral project their whole identity on FL to feel loved and wanted, hence any criticism on FL is taken as a personal attack

it honestly sounded like things were getting intense, plot-wise. it seems one of hel's customers now include the actual king?? and he had pretty hardcore/brutal proclivities???ยน
and a lot of issues seems to have cropped up bc the kingdom is corrupt but "the demon king is not interested in invading and the hero doesn't show up", like one of those mutualism thing where war with an outside force actually serves to unite a kingdom on the verge of collapse/civil war
i know i said this somewhere around ch11 or somewhere earlier like, 'wouldn't it be funny if the manager was an isekai'd hero who went AWOL or something that's why he's strong enough to restrain the demon king and the paladins w/just a hand' WHICH WAS A JOKE OK
but now i'm really worried it's gonna turn angsty cuz we're getting some vague foreshadowing dreams in the latest raws

now that the emperor and empress are on the same page abt her, there's a million ways to get rid of her
they're just keeping her there for unnecessary drama. it's like their titles as the most powerful authority in the kingdom mean shit. no matter how elaborate her schemes are, fuckin straight up drugging the emperor should get her and her adoptive fam beheaded. there were so many witnesses.
i'm all for the angsty conflict between ML and FL but i am sooo over the petty & catty bitchfights
welp
i think some ch got deleted
