3.5

I'm still mixed about how I feel about this series. This feels like so much is happening and yet nothing at all. Others have pointed out how cringy some of the dialogue can feel, and I'm inclined to agree with them. Some of the dialogue during battle scenes is giving me cheesy 1980s kids' hero cartoon vibes, yet again. They did introduce a new foe, who seems somewhat interesting. But new enemies come and go so fast, I don't expect the new guy to last long. The newest enemy's introduction felt vague and very rushed. This entire series feels rushed for some reason? I also figured out why I'm getting PSO2 NPC vibes from Titania during battles. It's because instead of letting the reader be surprised by what's coming from opponents, Titania just tells you what's going to happen right before it happens. You don't get to be surprised by much in battles, because Titania just says "That's a [x] type frame! They'll do [x] attack! Be careful!" to Etherow. It makes Titania feel like an NPC whose giving a tutorial to a new player in an MMO. The cliffhanger ending of this volume was pretty interesting. We actually get to see the newly "reborn" King, and he seems like he will be a very interesting character. At least, I hope so. ( )
