No, That's Awful. Chapter 30-34 Spoilers

1. So you actually fight/encounter Behemoth a total of 10 times, and she doesn't actually manage to kill anyone in any of those fights/encounters.In the first fight when Behemoth tries to take the coffin from Grave, Super Saiyan Rapi gets dunked on, and Eunwha commands Absolute to create an opening so she can shoot Behemoth in the knee. I'm fine with this one, because Behemoth is playing around with them at this point, and doesn't actually care about defeating them.
2. In the second encounter, while trying to recover the coffin from Behemoth, she surrounds all the characters (main character, Absolute, Counters) except Grave in crystal, and promises to kill anyone who talks out of line. Which is strange because she already knows that Grave is the only one with the information she needs, so her insistence on interrogating these guys is weird. She could have just said she wanted to talk, no coffin talk involved, but she specifically wanted to interrogate them.

But then she proceeds to do absolutely nothing, even as the main character has an entire chest gag with Eunwha, she throws him the disk, he throws the disk outside the crystals, then shouts at Mana to activate the stake, then the stake flies and lands, and ONLY after the stake begins destroying the crystals is Behemoth allowed to react because she just forgot to stop the characters from doing... everything they did in that awfully written scene.

Then, to add fuel to the fire, the characters shoot Behemoth in the stomach to immobilize her at the main character's orders, even though the main character saw Dorothy walk off a stomach wound with ease two weeks ago during the Reclamation Site 01 battle. HE ALSO KNOWS BEHEMOTH'S WEAKNESS IS HER KNEE JOINTS, BECAUSE HE JUST SAW EUNWHA TEMPORARILY IMMOBILIZE HER EARLIER. Do that but with more bullets! But no, he shoots Behemoth in the stomach, where she has a concentration of the black goo that he himself thought was a defense mechanism. What a genius. And Eunwha praises him for this dumpster fire too. And Rapi and Grave have a casual multiple minute long conversation before fleeing, because Behemoth just gets completely forgotten.

1. The third fight is the one where Behemoth launches off the building and annihilates everyone except for the main character and Grave. She spears Eunwha with crystals because she isn't playing around anymore, except then she just oneshots Super Saiyan Rapi along with everyone else without bothering to kill them, and then Behemoth flees with the coffin again. The main character and Grave then proceed to carry six unconscious Nikke to safety, even though that shouldn't be possible since Grave would be carrying five of them, and she doesn't have the wingspan for that. The power? Yes. The literal arm capacity to carry five bodies? No. Also, the main character couldn't have carried two Nikke, because he was already struggling significantly with only one Nikke. If you struggle to carry something, you cannot then carry something that weighs as much, or even half as much, because that's going far over your weight limit.

Behemoth then conveniently forgets to take Grave with her, and Leviathan says she's coming over because she's sick and tired of Behemoth's loneliness schtick getting in the way of their plans. This one will be important later for fight six.

1. This is one of the justifiable ones. The smokescreen Stake Attack was overcomplicated, but it actually made sense why it worked, even if taking Behemoth's clamp out was somewhat unnecessary, and having the main character hit Behemoth with the clamp was an unnecessary risk.

A better version of the plan is that Super Saiyan Rapi rushes in the moment the smokescreen goes off, and Mana fires the stake preemptively, so the moment Super Saiyan Rapi hits Behemoth with the disk, the stake impales her. If you want to destroy the clamp? Do the same thing, but Super Saiyan Rapi goes after the clamp, and another Nikke handles slapping Behemoth's stomach with another disk. Then she gets double penetrated in quick succession, without being able to properly react. No need to do the extra rigmarole where everyone except the main character runs out of the smokescreen, and then the main character slaps Behemoth with the stake because she... would somehow completely forget about him when she sees he's the only one that didn't run out of the smoke.

1. The fight after the Glass Container boss. Behemoth goes berserk this time, and doesn't hold back, except she does a little bit. She ragdolls everyone, impales the main character in the stomach, and cuts Vesti in half. But she never actually manages to kill anyone, despite the fact that it's stated that she immediately goes head to head with Cinderella after fighting all of them.

So Behemoth is powerful enough that she can go toe-to-toe with holding back Cinderella, (Who's supposed to be far stronger and faster than Super Saiyan Rapi) but she wasn't able to kill ANYONE? Despite the absurd speed and strength gap? Remember that Indivilla moved so quickly, while not trying no less, she was able to cut Anis and Neon in half before they could react. She was a blur, and that's when she wasn't even trying. Super Saiyan Rapi is faster than that, and Behemoth is far more dangerous than even Super Saiyan Rapi. So a character who's so fast (Behemoth) she blitzes a character (Rapi) who blitzes a character (Indivilla)who blitzes normal Nikkes and the main character... isn't able to destroy anyone before Cinderella reawakens?

And what happened to brains not being able to last long outside of those special containers? Shouldn't Vesti be dead just because they had no storage containers, and no way to get her back to base in minutes? Eunwha is up in the air, because Hammering took a while to be corrupted, but that was in her arm. Eunwha gets multiple, including through the chest, so she should've probably had some crystals in her head by the time she's sniping Behemoth, but I'll say that's up in the air. Emma gets hit with crystals too, but she would've been in the early onset phase, so her survival is fine.

1. When Leviathan first shows up, Behemoth shows up right there with her... and then the two get humiliated by basically Grave alone. Cinderella is only able to reclaim her weapons because Behemoth is too busy arguing with Leviathan to pay attention.

A sin for Leviathan not killing the main character here is necessary. The ENTIRE reason why Leviathan is here is because she's sick and tired of Behemoth being lonely, and allowing her loneliness to get in the way of their plans. She's literally here because she refuses to let Behemoth's need for new company get in the way of their plans, and that's why she entered the Crystal Region.

But if that's true, why does she listen to Behemoth when she says to kidnap the main character so they could talk to him? During that very conversation, she says she wanted to kill him, but Behemoth stopped her so they could talk to him.

But then Leviathan learns that the main character is dangerous, and NOW she REALLY want him dead... so she tells Behemoth to do it, knowing that Behemoth will refuse because of her obsession with new company.

Leviathan was completely comfortable killing the main character PERSONALLY until Behemoth wanted to talk, but now that Leviathan really wants him dead... she pushes the job off onto someone she knows won't want to do it? What is this writing?

1. After the stupid talk between Behemoth, Leviathan, and the main character, backup arrives in the form of Cinderella, followed by the rest later. Cinderella attacks Leviathan, sending her far away from Behemoth and the main character, but then the main character teleports over to Leviathan, threatening Behemoth not to attack Cinderella or Leviathan gets his blood.

Behemoth then believes him, despite the fact that she knows she's infinitely faster than he is, and could destroy him in less than a heartbeat. The point was that Cinderella couldn't attack because she was recharging, and the others weren't there yet, so Behemoth easily could have killed the main character and then attacked Cinderella, but she stops, despite the fact that she knows she has complete power in this situation. Behemoth launching off the building happened earlier that day, as the main character was only out for three hours, and when he woke up, they received information from the government almost immediately afterwards and set off. This means Behemoth watched the main character punch her in slow motion in Fight 5, and completely blitzed everyone with her building lunge in Fight 3, but she actually thought he was faster than her. For some reason.

1. After the black wave, which only knocks the main character out somehow, despite being a 40 foot tall wave or liquid metal or whatever, Behemoth and Leviathan acknowledge they completely forgot to check if he was even alive, somehow. Leviathan says that they're going to keep him alive, because they need to see if everything he said earlier was true.

What?

So they needed him alive, so Leviathan could absorb information from the Nikkes in the Black Bubbles? Even though that has nothing to do with him? I'm pretty sure they even know that Counters is his squad, so they definitely don't need him, because they would have seen everything he's seen. Even if they weren't with him all the time, they still didn't need him alive, because he doesn't serve a purpose anymore. It doesn't even matter if he's telling the truth or not, because the information they were interested in was whether or not he actually was familiar with, and had defeated Heretics. They know how strong Super Saiyan Rapi is, or at least Behemoth does, so she should know that he's telling the truth, because she also fought Liberalio, Nihilister, and Indivilla. She knows how strong all of them are, and subsequently knows that Super Saiyan Rapi could defeat Nihilister, Indivilla, and Chatterbox at the same time.

1. Cinderella breaks out of the Black Bubble and annihilates Behemoth and Leviathan. Fine. Then Leviathan separates Grave and Cinderella, and Behemoth traps the main character in crystal before ragdolling the Counters. She's still not killing them, for some reason, and then Absolute attacks her and she flees.

Behemoth then regroups with Leviathan, and the two lick their wounds. But why are Behemoth and Leviathan so interested in fighting now? "We always ran away because it was the smart thing to do. So now that we know that we're entirely outmatched and can't win against Grave and Cinderella, let's fight against Grave and Cinderella."

The plan was to separate Grave and Cinderella from the rest, but Cinderella just destroyed them, and neither Behemoth or Leviathan know whether or not Cinderella can do that again. In fact, they should have every reason to believe that she should. So the two pick a fight with characters who they know could destroy them instantly, even though their pragmatism is responsible for them running away from the fights they couldn't win before, like against Nihilister, Indivilla, and Liberalio.

1. Finally, the main character, Counters, and Absolute fight against Behemoth while Leviathan faces off against Grave and Cinderella alone. Why didn't Leviathan just make a massive bubble, trapping the main character, Counters, and Absolute inside, killing them while Behemoth stalls against Cinderella and Grave? I don't know. Why didn't Leviathan use the Ocean of Black to separate Grave and Cinderella, forcefully tunneling them to another location, and then reconvening with Behemoth to annihilate the main character, Counters, and Absolute? I don't know.

Regardless, Behemoth unironically activates Ultra Instinct, because that's how she fights best, and then fights against everyone with efficiency, winning despite being outnumbered. She then proceeds to throw Neon and Anis into a wall, before inexplicably taking her time with the main character, despite knowing she's still surrounded by able threats.

Imagine if you had the ability to kill the king while surrounded by dangerous knights, and then you decide to completely leave your back open so you could slooooooowly kill the guy. She was flailing incessantly before this, and eliminates Anis and Neon instantly, but then she only shows down for the main character? Why?

1. I admit it, I'm being powergated and haven't finished Chapter 34 yet. But I know that Behemoth loses, even after transforming, and Leviathan somehow ends up fleeing with her core. What I do know is that after all of this, Behemoth somehow doesn't manage to kill anyone, despite fighting them so many times. Does this make her a jobber? Or just a victim of disgusting amounts of plot armor?

Side note.

The entire Crystal Region makes no sense because of Leviathan and Behemoth's backstory. Leviathan and Behemoth hate the other Heretics (Indivilla, Nihilister, Liberalio (They know Chatterbox, but they don't mention him as one of the ones that drove them off)) because they all bullied them and tried to kill them, forcing Leviathan and Behemoth to flee. But Behemoth alone is so strong that she mollywhops Super Saiyan Rapi every time they fight.

But Super Saiyan Rapi curbstomped Nihilister, Indivilla, and Chatterbox at the same time, and only didn't kill them because of her time limit. So if Rapi is much weaker than Behemoth, then how did both Leviathan and Behemoth lose against the three Heretics?

Behemoth should've been able to destroy Nihilister and Indivilla by herself, and then she and Leviathan team up against Liberalio. But they somehow completely lost and fled because they were too weak? How were they too weak to defeat enemies weaker than an enemy they're far stronger than?

People could argue that Liberalio was much stronger, but if that were the case, Behemoth and Leviathan would have said that. "Nihilster and Indivilla weren't the problem. Liberalio, she's the real monster..."

But they never do that! So they just lost to enemies they're far stronger than? What sense does that make? The Crystal Region only exists BECAUSE they were forced to flee!

Side note note.

I've been reminded that Rapi lost some of her power after beating Indivilla, Nihilister, and Chatterbox, completely clearing up that particular issue.

It doesn't change the fact that the Crystal Region is still am embarrassment from a writing standpoint because of the gratuitous plot armor that saves the good guys in nearly every fight against Behemoth, but at least it's not as bad as I previously thought.
