@fujita tatsuya When you put it like that, yeah, I guess this just isn't my kind of thing. I do enjoy the thought out plans and such, but not to this extent. Some other guy a few chapters back said so, the invasion and kidnapping wrapped up on chapter 81. The author has spent well over a hundred chapters on 'planning' at this point. I'm used to seeing characters with a bit more sense of emergency when their comrades get taken away by bad people, so yeah, personally I'm not enjoying this, I'll gripe and keep checking in to see when the actual fighting and rescuing happens.
@Nani I'm pretty sure it's not been that long chronologically though. Of course I agree with the fact that it may be going on for a bit too long, but in-verse, it(s been a month or two only, in which they have to prepare (both diplomatically for the higher-ups and prepare the agents that will leave AND those that will stay)
