The Strongest Ten Year Old Magician Chapter 54 Discussion

This has been a pretty good story so far. I will say that I had no issue with the sad backstory becoming irrelevant later on. No, my issue is with the author's writing style. There have been quite a few instances of mini arcs happening, then being seemingly resolved the next chapter, only for something related to that mini arc popping up. Not nearly as resolved as we initially thought, huh?

Here's an example:

So there's this eons old evil being called "The Witch of Black Rain", and at around chapter 47 or so, there's an incident involving miasma pollution in a swamp or something. Turns out, that witch wasn't nearly as dead as they thought. They confront the remnant of the witch, then get expelled from the swamp or something by the witch's power. The chapter immediately after sees Ferris and her friend at the adventures guild receiving payment for helping out with that, even though they literally didn't do anything. The change was also just extremely sudden as well. The witch fight chapter ends with them being thrown from the shrine thingo, and the next chapter just starts off with them at the guild. No events in between, so I was just super confused when I started reading the next chapter. Some school life chapters happen, then the witch reappears and causes more sh*t to happen.

It's just such a bizarre writing choice, and it made reading this needlessly confusing. Overall, I'd recommend it, but be ready to go back and reread some chapters.
