Damn it man, they were so close! Gods, but even with how annoyed and angry I am at this I'm still gonna read this! Cause I need to see this through to the end!

Ugh... is this... is this what betrayal feels like? It hurts.........

sigh okay well. I guess its gonna go on a little longer.

Wait... I actually think that there's a way this could be salvaged: Mai going to the place Asumi works at. It'd actually work especially well, given Mai's established weakness in contrast to the typical power dynamic Asumi has experienced thus far.

Fucking dammit. I do want to see her go with a few more girls before she finally finds Mai, but this cop-out still pisses me off.

AAAAAHHHHHHH god dammit! We waited 2 months to get baited like this!? I’m in so much physical pain right now. I’ve never been catfished this hard in my life

And here I'm expecting that Asumi will insist on going even if she doesn't feel well, cuz as we see, she pretty much expecting it to be Mai herself, and yet she just cancelled it without saying anything.

All that build up for nothing, I guess she's just stuck playing around for a little longer.

Also yeah, wtf is up with that senpai? Bruh??

Pain-peko

Pain-peko

I see you dabble in a war criminal
But this chapter felt like a war crime

I think Mai's a creep so I'm happy she got jebaited.

I knew it, it was way too soon

Author wanted to introduce Mai to the story to a greater extent but didnt want to end it too soon. Understandable...but so fucking frustrating.

Unpopular opinion: I still want Asumi to see more girls and gain more experience and maybe she will become the ultimate dom ever and take Mai off guard??

As Bitfarb said:

Even for people that wanted to see her gain more experience, the author pulled a really lame cop-out.

Regardless of what you think of Mai it was still poor writing on the author's part, and the audience got "jebaited" way harder than anybody in the series.

People thought for two months that the two major characters were finally going to meet. If you wanted them to not date after meeting, that'd be a fair take. However right now the author is simply stalling the story and not progressing events forward. So we're left with another frustrating waiting period.

Oh come on, that's just cruel to everyone involved, including the reader.

Haha really? I knew when I was reading it that most people would be as pissed as I am. The author did a super obvious stalling tactic, and after making their readers wait two months. Not even a good one either. Currently the entire set up of having them meet at this point in time was pointless, and it was pointless with a long wait between chapters. Having the character randomly get sick is such an uncreative and lame reason to drag out events.

The author basically looked at their readers and then flipped them off, and then proceeded to get trampled on by the mob in at least this comment section :P

Eh I don't see why everyone's so angry, it was fairly predictable. If anything, it's been so long that I have no idea what the hell is the MC doing.

Oof just missed her. I hope they meet up outsie like just walk past each other or go to the same cafe as that could a be a hilerious situation.

"It was fairly predictable."

That's exactly why, it was incredibly predictable. The author made the set up from the previous chapter completely pointless. So I think it's very understandable why we're angry right now haha

I feel like the odd one out, but I didn't mind that their meeting got postponed. I enjoy the basic premise of this series and it's most likely going to wrap up once they meet, so I like that we're getting at least one more volume. It's also nice that Mai was introduced in the present some time before she actually meets Asumi so that it's easier to see what her deal is and care more about her. I get the frustration over the long wait between chapters, but I'm so used to that from many series I've followed that it doesn't really bother me.

There are more and more people with thinking like yours in the thread, so you're definitely not alone. I also follow series with long waits, and the wait doesn't bother me. What bothers me is building up to a specific situation, having a long wait in between, and then having that build up be entirely pointless. Their meeting could have gotten postponed for better reasons, or maybe not set up at this point in time and instead set up later, and various other ways to go about this.

Also I'd personally prefer it if the series got past the meet up, and found a new goal to work towards afterwards. The author could have the series go for a couple of volumes even after they meet up, explore how all the characters interact together, expand on the main pair and if they actually get together or not, side pairs, and so fourth. The art is nice, I just think the author could handle expectations and pacing better. Especially with this frustrating turn of events.

I understand, but I think it still served the purpose of showing what Mai is up to and how she feels, and she had to be aware of Asumi's presence for that to happen. Of course, the way the rug got pulled from under the readers is an old dumb cliché, but it's the kind of dumb I expect from this series since its entire premise is. I'm not holding it to a high standard for writing.

I'd like that too but it's not usually how it goes in this kind of series so I'm not expecting it. It might have to take a bit of a weird turn to get there as well, the premise should be fulfilled once Asumi and Mai meet since Asumi started doing this brothel crawl specifically to find her. Either they start dating once they meet, in which case it would be strange for both of them to keep doing what they're currently doing, or they agree not to and Asumi still keeps hiring prostitutes because she likes it, but in both cases I'm not sure what new goal to work into it.
