Hello Again, My Friend!
It's me, Raven, and I'd like to review the next chapter in this great story using my Familiar method! Let's dive in, shall we? Heh heh heh...
What The Black Eyes See...
Ah, I liked this chapter as a way to prop up the other adventurers! Knowing Rose is in a state of recovery, it's only natural that she might feel frustrated to see them still relying on her and being so shaken up when she came close to actually losing a battle, and it was a very interesting point to make. Let's get into the details though.
Where The Dagger Points...
Not much to put here! I liked this discourse between the adventurers and Rose, it was a great thing to bring up during her recovery time. There was only one thing I noticed that isn't even a technical error, but I thought I'd make the recommendation in good faith, free to take or leave.
“Of course, they’ll destroy any stronger than them.
I feel like not following "any" up with a noun read a bit awkwardly, maybe "any [creature, entity, being, etc]" would help.
But that's just my opinion of course, and that's all I have for here. Good writing job ~
Why The Grin Widened...
First of all, I like how Rose is more annoyed by her restrictions than concerned, sounds very much like her character haha. And it's nice to see Asura pop up again! I was wondering when it would happen...and like Rose, I'm just waiting for the next Callel problem.
Asura was also a good way to see the kind of names and rumors that are swirling about Rose, across the nations.
“Godslayer, godtamer, Evil slayer, Sleeping giant, Mirror knight, Evilbane, god of good.”
Needless to say...for being the host of a shard of pure evil, Rose has one glowing reputation. And I like to hear it, as further evidence that her curse does not define her character ~
Hearing that even Mammon was uneasy when Rose came so close to defeat and death, that helped highlight the severity of the situation, and the reach of Rose's impact on the guild. It also makes sense why this would be coming up now, because the guild -and even whole nations- were shaken by the discovery and power of an arcane dragon. Shards and godly entities are a whole new tier, so surely, between them and Rose taking them head-on, people would start to feel small in comparison.
“we were told to be ready, but we always sort of expected you’d shake off any attack. You always have. Even when we first realized that you were a dragon and attacked in fear, you shook it off despite the high-level curse. We never actually expected you to lose...”
And this is a decent point! Rose has had her struggles, but she's always pulled through trouble and recovered fast. That hasn't been quite the case with the shards, and it's easy to see the difference.
But, of course, Rose's response was great and well in line with her character!
If you go into every battle expecting to win by my power, whenever I’m outmatched, you’ll just all collapse. No combatant is indispensable. That is what I’ve been taught since a young age.
If you go into every battle trying to preserve the strong fighters and have no contingencies for their defeat, you’ll either only have the strong left, or have a panic attack the moment they fall. Why do you think I always insist on the front, because I have contingencies in place for my defeat.
This makes perfect sense! Going into a fight relying wholeheartedly on one star player is a terrible strategy, even if it is someone like Rose! Nobody is invincible, after all, and these guys are strong fighters in their own right. And to tie it all together, a perfectly delivered, firm, no-nonsense question from Rose...
“what will happen if one of them actually defeats me? Will you all give up and be destroyed, or will you keep fighting and beat them up. If I fall, so what, I’m not the only fighter here am I? If you’d just give up and cry the moment I lose, then get off the battlefield and retire as adventurers.”
Awesome! Loved that!

Overall, that was a great chapter! I was hoping to catch up fully today, so you can anticipate more reviews, lol. Nicely done!
