Rather than slacking off, she hesitates at every damned opportunity. Back in Thunders Over Nagazora, Mei was told very early that she could save Kiana by embracing her position as the Third Herrscher, but she let Benares die and almost got Kiana killed before she actually went and did something useful. Even her going along with Himeko's suggestion of putting a bomb on her heart was just another attempt at loitering, because now she didn't need to think about being a messenger of destruction for a while.

He did. Where do you think Nagazora is?

Half true. Previous era didn't have Stigmata, but humans there were halfway evolving into super humans. Keving faced a Chariot Honkai Beast when he was a civilian and defeated the Herrscher of Death before MANTIS surgery. Aponia could control people and see fate before surgery, Pardo had incredible luck, etc. In general, many PE humans had natural Honkai Resistance.

I like how just two chapters ago the narrator said that they weren't just bystanders, now even the MC stays still and watches the enemy do whatever it wants.

Durandal could one-shot an emperor-rank without a weapon. Serenade is really weak for a SSS, is this the so-called power creep?

Caelus?

Lol.

As they shake their hands, Kevin's body temperature freezes Ai Yue's arm, forever leaving him one handed. Now with only the non-dominant left arm remaining, beating that meat will never be the same.

Male.

I'd say that Vixen is an exception. Like I said in my review, these simulator stories tend to be pretty shallow. This fic comes in like Baldur's Gate 3 in comparison. If web novelists had to explain themselves, they would say to not expect this level of quality from other series.
