My thoughts on the recent chapters
A lot of people are complaining that John is being sidelined and is no longer the main character. These are my thoughts on that copy-pasted from a comment I made.
> I disagree. John will get involved with this plotline soon enough. I believe wrapping up Sera's ability loss plotline is meant to serve as a catalyst for change for John, and the Spectre, Ember, and Sera's plan plotline will give John's character somewhere to go once he breaks out of his current mindset.
> We know that there's going to be some sort of confrontation between Sera and John soon, whether that be a fight, an argument, or whatever. This will likely be what pulls him back towards the light or pushes him past the point of no return.
> I can't say for sure which one it will be but I believe John will eventually join Sera in her attempt to correct the system. Sera did say that she needs all the power she can get. While she might have meant this in regards to her ability, I believe this was foreshadowing that she will convince John to join her eventually.
> As powerful as she may be, Sera is still just one person. She won't be able to change the status quo on her own. If John joins her it will be as if several teams of high/god tiers are backing her up. The guy can specialize in any role that's needed whether it be infiltration, counter-surveillance, long-distance combat, close-quarters combat, or healing, and he can do it all better than almost anybody.
> If John manages to break out of his current mindset he'd also be one of the few god-tiers around that is sympathetic to Sera's cause. If Sera's serious about changing the system then she's definitely going to have to get John to join her.
> I feel like John will be back in the spotlight eventually. Right now Uru is just focusing on a few other things that will be important to John's character development in the future.
>At the moment John is stuck inside his head and it's doubtful that anything will change this without introducing a new plotline. The Royals sure as hell aren't going to change him and he isn't interested in listening to a crippled Sera.
>If Uru were to focus on John right now it would just be John seething in anger and beating up students, which is starting to get a bit tiring. Focusing entirely on these other plotlines which may serve as a catalyst for change for John in the future might actually speed up John's character development rather than slow it down.
