So, about How To NOT Summon A Demon Lord Season 3… Anyone else feeling a little… ambivalent?
The Demon Lord's Dilemma: Season 3 Edition
Okay, okay, hear me out. I love a good isekai. I do! But even I have my limits, and maybe, just maybe, this series is pushing them.
Season 1? Solid gold. Season 2? Still enjoyable, kept the formula going. But season 3? Is it just me, or is it feeling a bit…stale?
The Harem Hustle
Let's be honest, the harem aspect is kind of…the point. Diablo, our resident overpowered gamer, accidentally becomes a demon lord. Then he's surrounded by cute girls. Standard stuff.
But does anyone else feel like the "accidental pervert" trope is getting a little old? Like, we get it, he's socially awkward. Can we move on, please?
And the power creep! Diablo's already ridiculously strong. Where do we even go from here? Fighting interdimensional gods in Season 4? I’m getting dizzy!
Plot? What Plot?
Remember when there was an actual storyline? Something about defeating demon lords and saving the world? Yeah, me neither.
Now it feels more like a series of loosely connected…events. Events mostly involving Diablo accidentally groping someone or defeating a ridiculously weak monster.
It’s like the writers forgot they needed a plot to string it all together. I’m watching for the *plot*, not the… uh… other plots.
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
Here's where things get controversial. I kind of miss the early days of isekai.
Before every protagonist was an overpowered god who accidentally tripped into a fantasy world filled with adoring anime girls. Simpler times, you know?
Maybe How To NOT Summon A Demon Lord needs a serious shakeup. A new direction. Something to reignite the spark.
So, Should We Expect Season 3?
Honestly? Who knows. I mean, it's popular. Fan service sells. Right?
But maybe, just maybe, the creators should take a step back. Re-evaluate. Ask themselves: what made this series great in the first place?
Because if Season 3 is just more of the same, I might actually start summoning a demon lord myself… to complain about it.
Final Thoughts (and a Plea)
Look, I'm not saying the series is terrible. It's still entertaining on some level.
But I am saying it could be so much more. It has potential! Don't waste it on tired tropes and predictable storylines.
Give us a compelling story. Give us character development. Give us something besides more… well, you know.
Please, How To NOT Summon A Demon Lord, surprise me. Prove me wrong. Show me there's still magic left in this world – and in this series.
If not, maybe it's time for Diablo to accidentally summon himself into a different anime. One with a slightly better plot, perhaps?
Just thinking out loud… Don't @ me.
