This series is a fun twist on the “expelled from the party” formula - and since it’s relatively small stories interconnected by Ed and Tia’s travels, the plot doesn’t get old.
This chapter highlights something the ch15 did too: that even if people don’t remember the events of the first time Ed was in the party, some feelings are etched into their souls. In ch15 it was Tia afraid of losing someone “again”, here in ch24 it’s Doben getting pissed at Ed (the sidekick of the “fake hero” that unrightfully stole his position).
Yeah, this series has been way better than I would have thought if I just read the short synopsis. I have high hopes that this arc with Waffles will live up to the great arc on Tia’s world.
Without giving you spoilers: based on the novel, the 1st arc is really special. The other arcs (like the 2nd world) are still fun, still worth reading, but they don’t reach the same level as the 1st one.
For a character that looks like that and has the name Waffles, that is a pretty tragic backstory.
