Agent_047
I enjoyed these few chapters just now and have read the various readers comments. I can see their points and the author’s responses. Whether or not the Alien incursion has arrived to fast is early or not, I feel it gives rise to motivation to develop further and outwards and internally. Whether it be space exploration, moon colonisation or inwardly by enhancing focus on the current planet to strengthen it against potential hostiles. This could be a rather interesting crossroad now as it has introduced a number of elements that can be explored in so many ways. I am looking forward to these what next chapters 👍
author-san. why are you rushing? aron isn't ready to take on extraterritorial problems yet. he hasn't even solved his problems on earth yet and you are forcing him to overcome the problems arriving from space. I'm starting to lose interest as I feel you just cut off the story at a peaking point and started up some whole new story. GO BACK!! finish what you started before moving to the next big problem!
With this chapter mentioning the dark forest theory, the idea of basically a possible protracted battle royal happening between civilisation with Earth at its centre is planted in my mind. Now, I hope that discovering mana is a seriously hard accomplishment, or else, it will lead to at least dozens of civ probing.Though with it being hard, the civ must be pretty advanced.
I'm with the rest that the alien arc feels rushed, but the real issue is in 2 years, he hasn't utilized the literal super technology system to upgrade all of his base technology evented by AI clones....this seems like a vast oversight in the thing that literally created everything he is and has become.
