I've marathoned like 50 chapters today after putting the series off and I just cant comprehend how someone would root for the humans instead of the demons. I thought it was impossible but here we are.

Errors were made. :v:

Nah, they're evil fucks and they're going down. Nice that the demons are stonewalling them as much as they do, it just, uuuuh... kinda makes them appear more ineffectual than you'd think after genociding their entire own species. But, well, looks like that's gonna change soon.

Nah your point is pretty clear from where I'm sitting. Having the bulk of the human forces flailing ineffectually against the humans over and over makes it difficult to regard them as the threat the story tells us that they are.

People are bad at long term thinking in general, and watching the humans get humiliated over and over makes it difficult to look at them and remember that eventually they are going to more or less save scum/power level their way over the demons.

They are using :darksouls: tactics. After a while they are going to beat the demons while dressed like idiots and wielding farm instruments, just to add some extra challenge.

You can do it, evil humans! Become the world-threatening force I know you can be!

And then be defeated and become best friends with the demons

You guys seem to know more about the King than the story has shown so far. We thought the King wasn't a character in and of themselves, but other than that we still have no clue who or what he is or why do this now for that matter?

Well we do know a few things. We know from Rafead's conversation last chapter he's not a regular human and is instead the former king of a "fallen country" (or something to that effect), that he can control something akin to New World Organisms, that he couldn't launch his plan without time and help (in the form of Mikaros, Rafead & Cless) and that he can control even someone like Sharumai. So the picture that builds to me is that he's from whatever dimension the "New World Organisms" come from, that he empowered Mikaros long ago and has been bidding his time since as he waits for a chance to launch his plan - whatever that is. Probably to use the demons as a testing ground and re-take his own dimension/country.

He is the king of a fallen country because he is the king of the humans, whose country has fallen.

We know him as the king of the humans. The country of humans has fallen. Why assume that he must be the king of some other country that has never been mentioned which coincidentally also fell?

To let one country fall is misfortune. Two is carelessness.
