Okay, let's talk about Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar, specifically volume 17. I know, I know, some of you are already rolling your eyes. Prepare for some spicy takes!
First off, can we all agree that Yuuto's harem is getting a *little* out of hand? It’s like, every other chapter, a new girl is suddenly head-over-heels. Is it his overwhelming charisma? Or maybe just proximity to all the action?
I’m just saying, even in a fantasy world, the logistics of managing that many relationships must be… exhausting. Poor guy probably needs a spreadsheet just to remember everyone’s birthdays.
The Power Creep is Real
Don't get me wrong, seeing Yuuto get stronger is cool. But sometimes I feel like he goes from zero to hero faster than I can make a cup of coffee. He is always conveniently powerful when he needs to be!
Is it just me, or does the power scaling feel a bit... arbitrary? One minute he's struggling, the next he's casually obliterating gods. I'm starting to wonder if he secretly levels up in his sleep.
I'm not saying I *hate* it, but maybe dial it back a notch, authors? Give us a little struggle! A little angst! Something besides "I'm powerful because plot".
Unpopular Opinion: Slow Burn Romance Needed
While I appreciate the… enthusiasm… of the female characters, I sometimes wish for a little more depth. Some of these relationships feel like they went from "hello" to "I'd die for you" in the blink of an eye.
How about a slow-burn romance for once? Imagine Yuuto and one of his wives actually spending time getting to know each other. Gasp! Radical!
We get it, he's the chosen one, blah blah blah. But a little genuine emotional connection would be a refreshing change of pace.
Strategizing or Shenanigans?
Yuuto’s strategic genius is often touted as his defining characteristic. But honestly, sometimes it feels more like convenient plot armor disguised as brilliance.
He just *happens* to know exactly what to do in every situation? Suspicious. Are we sure he isn't just looking at the author’s notes?
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good underdog story. But maybe give his opponents a fighting chance, eh? Otherwise, it’s just a foregone conclusion.
The Einherjar, Bless Their Hearts
The Einherjar are great. They are the backbone of Yuuto's army, and are always ready to fight.
But sometimes I feel like they're just there to fill up the background. More character development for them, please! They deserve more!
Imagine a spinoff focusing on one of the more minor Einherjar. We could see their struggles and triumphs without Yuuto hogging all the spotlight!
Final Thoughts (Probably Controversial)
Look, I still enjoy Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar. It's fun, it's escapist, and it delivers on the power fantasy.
But let's be honest, it's not exactly high art. And maybe that's okay. Sometimes you just want to turn off your brain and watch a guy with a harem beat up some gods.
But maybe, just maybe, volume 18 will surprise us. A girl can dream, right?
