Oh it's such a shame how so many people give this gem 1 star, the things that they complain about are also ridiculous, though it is true that everything takes a loooot of time to happen in text, repeat "in text" because as far as the story is concerned, majority of it's chapters are happening in a few day timespan, so of course there is not a lot of "progression" so lemme just write something against (A) the negatives (N) and then say some personal feelings below....N: There is no progression!A: Already explained above, aside from the first volume and then a few year time skip, the majority of the chapters (as of my review c144) happen in under a week time span.N: The characters are too s*upid!A: No, the dragons are just bored due to lifespan issues and that one character that got introduced later on is just mentally r******d and every other character in the story points this out. The MC is slightly special in this aspect due to how (s) he was born + some laziness issues (in no way is (s) he portraied as smart like one review claims).N: Characters just pop-up then get push aside then drop off!A: Once again the story did not even progress anywhere or they simply died. Spoiler
As of the end of second volume the MC and prominent side characters told each other goodbye and those characters have determined locations like elf forest or the dragon country, and while some of the other s*aves got named (I think) it's not like every named character needs to reappear and be relevant. Imagine other stories where you greet some shop owner, have a nice chat, they introduce themselves but you leave the town next day, this just sets that there is a shop owner named X in that city but the story doesn't have to use this fact again unless some other sitaution with the city happens.
[collapse]...And so here are some of my thoughts, yes the novel takes a lot of time to progress but that does not mean each chapter is just a filler, no, I would even say that almost no chapter is a filler (I can say this because I binge read the entire novel until chapter 142 in 1 day). Other thing is, it is a comedy and the author tends to ab*se s*upidity jokes a bit too much for my taste, mainly concerning that one character that got introduced in second volume Spoilerwhich (for now) is gone
[collapse], but aside from that there is only one thing I would really complain about, and that is secret plots in the background that get hinted at which just pills up questions upon questions with only a few of them partially answered as of yet, which is honestly my only grind with it.
