This was cancelled? What happens in the end?

>>152628354

Well, Tolza is fatally poisoned by spores from the Demon King. It turns out the old Time Mage and the little girl survives, and the little girl shoots him and kills him for killing her brother. He doesn't resist.

The love interest works with another Subjugator, and he gathers a massive army to fight the Demon Lord. The entire army is wiped out, but he absorbs all their lives to be able to defeat them at a tremendous cost.

A couple of years later, the cycle starts again. Oh, the Bandage Subjugator died off-screen, when he realized he would never be able to find another way.

What happened in all the other subplots?

Only read a couple volumes, got pretty edgy and I didn't read more after I caught up with the scanlators, didn't realize it was a web novel but I guess it makes sense.

Ultimately they don't really matter.

The web novel's kind of stalled, so I guess the writer ran out of ideas. There's one more Light Novel, but I know absolutely nothing about it.

Apparently it's about a life-devouring brother and his Subjugator sister.

Well that sucks.

I just like it because of the math concepts.

Also

>let's make the hero brokener

Shit was great.

There was some potential for that series, but I was waiting for it to go on indefinite hiatus HxH style.

Given the way the MC works, characters come and leave the group left and right. This leads to a need for an excessive amount of character designs, and this manga uses fairly detailed costumes and whatnot. Character design is difficult, so needed to rip through original design after original design just as fast as the mangaka can conceptualize them was going to lead to some hardcore burnout for them at some point, and then we'd end up with a Berserk situation.

I don't want to say that cancellation is for the best (I really did want to see where the series would go long term), but I'd rather get a rushed ending than get stringed along for years (if not decades) between hiatuses.

The main problem is that the most of the 'final arc' is about another protagonist entirely. It's not a bad arc, but it's a side-story about an Alchemist who is also a Subjugator. Tolza never even meets that guy.

I don't really like the whole 'imaginary numbers' thing, but I like the core concept of becoming stronger by getting your allies killed. It just makes perfect sense, and there's so much you can do with it.

This is how the final battle is won, at any rate. Another guy raises an army of 'volunteers' and gets them to bum-rush the demon lord, who promptly kills them all.

Well, that's because they where working with infinites, when you work special numbers thins get pretty crazy.
