It's like literally the book for the world. Kinda incredible if you think about it, even for this manga.

after reading this chapter, i am actually not sure anymore if it will get canceled ( I still think that the chance that it will get canceled is around 80% )

Confused as to what is happening. The concept surrounding the True Book is great in my opinion but after a bunch of rushed chapters they now take the time to envelop a proper story. It either revealed too much too quickly or not enough and too slow. I am not sure what is going to happen in the future of this story as there is still no clear goal but I kind of hope it moves in the right direction.

Not sure about it either. Maybe we will see if it goes up to volume sales after all.

Reading this chapter really makes you think that the author had the whole story planned out, or atleast the basic layout for it. Such a shame he didn't get the chance to do it. The twists in these last two chapters would have been wonderful with enough build up. Oh well, this is gonna end in a few chapters most likely.

It's a shame that it took the series getting the axe to finally get interesting. I suppose I'm still speculating but it's still ranking last in the TOC and I don't see a ton of story potential coming through here honestly, this all feels very end-game reveals.

Regardless, while I don't honestly find the plotting here that interesting, I do really like absurd conceptual powers, and Velou being a vacuum of fate so-to-speak is pretty interesting. So much so to the point where Grimm's characterization from the book is being eroded is pretty interesting. I do wish that had time to built up because it really didn't seem to me that Grimm changed until right about now but whatever, they didn't have enough time to really put this through.

Which imo, is sort of fair enough, as the series has been rather plainly generic for awhile. Even if the intent was for it to set-up this reveal, it made it a rather boring read for most of it's run.

Yeah. At this point, it looks like this series is getting axed. All this feels like major end game reveals. Shame because this is a lot of really interesting stuff I would've loved to see fleshed out.
Here comes the change

Not enough people care for it. Better make room for new series.

Are they ending the serie? That's what it felt like when I read the chapter. It's a bit rushed so I guess it'll be gone sooner or later. It just got so interesting with the concept of the books and stuff. I'm going to miss the THICC designs too...

Man, this shit is so interesting and such an interesting take on folklores. This is the chapter you get after like a hundred plus chapters of Velou with the guild and then they'll reveal that he's been affecting the guild all this time. The axe definitely feels like it's coming, but I am still gonna hope that this is just setup for even bigger things, copium.

Velou is Pinocchio holy shit. Them reading the story while in a bed like it's a bedtime story was hilarious lmao.

Its feels soooo endgame and rushed, this series is probably going to get axed, even if vol 1 physical sales are good, I don't think the series will last, i don't really see a way to continue much longer with the series

Soooo much wasted potential

I wish Kawaguchi-sensei doesn't give up and try again if the series does get axed (most likely gonna happen)

If it is indeed getting axed like it seems to be, I have to say, this is some of the best handling I've seen of an author rushing a finale. This series didn't deserve the axe at all, it was great. Unjustified axings always piss me off. Really hoping this author gets another chance.

Definitely an interesting turn of events. This concept has such a potential that is wasted, unfortunately.

To be honest, if this gets axed it wont be a suprise. It's not bad but it's definitely not that good either >_<
