I want to see a world were Laios became the dungeon master and just nitpicked the demon to death because it couldn't get the monsters or their ecology right.

The Dungeon would be quiet for years, then inexplicable turn into a crab.

The dungeon would be completely empty as Laios perpetually fine tunes the creatures that should be inhabiting it, but never releases them because they're "not done"

That anime about contractors designing animals for god is actually a Dungeon Meshi spinoff.

canaries: "let us perform our intricate and powerful magicks !" laios: "this reminds me of the time i gave myself intestinal parasites!" like, how much would it suck to have to deal with that guy?

In fairness even without Laios' unique trains of thought there's still a fair chance of any adventurer attempting to hack, squirm, or otherwise attack their way out.

Yeah uh if them being rowdy was that debilitating I'm not sure I want to see what it would look like in the same scenario if the trapped party just started hacking and stabbing.

New chapter from the Adventurer's Bible Thistles backstory is incredibly cute.

After that backstory, I feel like Thistle and Laius could have had a lovely chat about dungeon ecology under different circumstances.

Dunno, Thistle seems like he really just wanted to summon a bunch of cool monsters for his cool dungeon and is pretty miffed that he has to deal with the whole "dungeon ecology" thing.

The panelwork is really good this chapter. The Winged Lion keeps breaking out of the panel boundaries and coming in from the 'edge' of the page, which really helps contribute to the sense of otherworldly wrongness. And the part where Laios looks over and sees the rest of the party's 'This is a horrible idea' face was also really striking by breaking each face into each panel

Marcille's really starting to worry me. Playing on these kinds of desires and compulsions is part and parcel for demons. And if she has potential to turn the entire world into a dungeon...

Marcille’s putting the top of her head into other panels pretty frequently, too, which fits the overbearing elfy qualities she’s doubling down on.

I'm a little surprised that the whole party immediately rejected the idea of a life-expectancy of 1000 years. Like, not even one of them was tempted? I know in many other works of fiction (and there are examples in history too), there are people who would make any sacrifice in the name of immortality. 1000 years might not be forever, but from the perspective of a human, (or especially a halfling, which only lives to age 40) it may as well be. Especially Chilchak, who has only another ~15 years or so, he really isn't tempted by the prospect? Does being a dungeon master in and of itself warp a person? Or is that people show their true colors when given access to the ultimate power?

Consider the long-lived people they have met on this adventure. Thistle? Insane, tried to kill them. The humans trapped by Thistle? Miserable. The Canaries? Arrogant, unreasonable, tried to kill them. Et cetera, et cetera. Not a lot of good immortal role models. Wouldn't wanna be like them either.
