New non-omake chapter - http://bato.to/reader#bbac01d51a508f05

The above-posted omake chapter with Piwi was actually relevant.

Yeah, I've kind of stopped looking forward to the new chapters.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Helck didn't always consist of endless monologues interrupted by samey battles, right? New concepts get introduced and wrapped up from one chapter to the next: Helck's become like Onepunchman, tearing overpowered bad guys a new one on a weekly basis.

Hopefully well have another arc of traveling and character moments.
Though this arc is seemingly heading up for a close.


buuuuut
there have been too many moments of 'oh woops heres more villainry'

And Helck's herofied friends seem to have been forgotten too. Wanna see what theyre up to.

They're still working on that whole 'Save the humans' quest rn. There's still the Will of the World trying to control all the demons, the northern front and the other two heavenly knights to be addressed.

Also all this stuff with the king has just been them trying to do enough damage to him to make him go to his final form.

Everything since the King reveal hasn't been very good, except for the Omakes. Hopefully that will change once this arc is over and characters like freaking Mikaros and The King aren't around.

Rafead is like the most interesting villain so far, so i'd be ok if they don't murder him right now and he sticks around in the story for a bit.

I'm kinda thinking this is going to end with Azudora's plan saving all the humans but Rafead showing up and escaping with Charami and maybe Cless.

It's basically felt like I've been transported back to a playground where all the kids are arguing over how nuh-uh my super ultra mega double infinity death beam totally beats your stupid fire shield but no way man this twig is actually the sacred magical cursed alien angel power devil sword wand and



What I'm saying is, we need some more main-chapters Piuy levity.

Agreed. I miss when things were actually moving along, rather than this bloated endgame that isn't even the endgame. New arc, please, or rap it up.

I also don't like the fighting, because it's not the comedy which is why I liked this series.

SyntheticPolygon
Dec 20, 2013

I like the fighting and the drama fine and some of my favourite moments in the comic have come from that, it's just that what feels like the last like 10 or even 20 chapters or so have been dealing with Mikaros and then immediately afterwards The King. And Mikaros is lame and a loser while The King was barely a character. And then Mikaros gets brought right back!

I like Helck so much because it delivers both comedy, action and pretty good emotional punches. Same reason I recommended it to friends.

One slightly too long in the tooth arc about one of the main plot points of the manga isn't gonna sour me just yet. :v:

unless he doesn't save alicia then I'll be super sour

Look, it's been a while, okay? I was introduced to this during early last year, and the pacing was so good. But now the pacing is poo poo. That's my issue.

I feel like a large part of the fatigue also has to do with this being approximately where the super fast translations slowed down to match the release. For the first seventy or so chapters, we got a massive, massive chunk, and tons of updates. Now we're going at normal speed, the plot is in drama mode, and we're at the point where the heroes have to find out things aren't as simple as they seemed. That all blends together to make things feel like they reached a screeching halt.

Things should pick up as we move along, but this was a bad point to have things slow.
