putting down my scattered thoughts for where i would like season 2 of the webtoon to end 🤔
season 1 ended with the cotton candy scene, webnovel 51 and webtoon 42. s2 is currently at the slime dungeon, which is webnovel 61 but webtoon 52. the webtoon condensed hearthfenrir punishing the golden ivory tower (ch 46-49) into like 2 panels and condensed/skipped a few other minor scenes. i never actually read all the early chapters, so idk if the 10 chapter/episode gap is because even more entire chapters got skipped. if it is, then it means that the adaptation speed is roughly 1:1 except for when entire portions get cut.
if we take s2 to also be ~40 episodes, we might hit episode 80+? assuming a 1:1 adapation speed, it would mean webnovel 100+. and if some portions get chopped (maybe some sections of floor 299 and some others) maybe we can even hit webnovel ch 110?? idk if that area will be a good spot to stop though.
the week of regressions is at webnovel 77, while greenwalle starts at ch 82. narratively speaking, the start of greenwalle would be a nice place to start s3, except that i think the webtoon readers might get a little upset about still being stuck in the tutorial period orz. unless floor 300 is just that well done?? idk. actually i think floor 300 would work well as the central arc for this season, just like the toy mansion was. i just want to see post-regression tesilid though 😔
harpy queen is 87-91 and pandora's is ch 91-98. personally i think it would be nice if they could include greenwalle and a little bit after. just to smack all of us silly with the huge gap between tutorial tesilid and post-regression tesilid. i think casual webtoon readers would have forgotten how optimistic and well-meaning baby tesilid was by the time season 3 rolls over, so greenwalle wouldn't hit as hard.
stopping at the end of pandora's would also mean adapting 40 chapters, so i guess maybe they don't need to cut too many scenes? i also don't think it would be a good idea to include much past pandora's. the vatican arc is a liiiiitle bit long. there's the whole setup period, then the snow queen dungeon, then everything keeps snowballing into the magic republic arc and we only get space to breathe again at ch 128 when ailette blacks out. which is also a cliffhanger itself.
greenwalle being in s2 on its own would be a bit of a let-down i think because iirc nothing really happens there, we just meet reed and tesilid wakes up and barely talks. harpy queen arc very clearly shows how much more cold-hearted tesilid has become, which is great for making us all cry, but idk i think pandora's is a cooler place to stop? harpy queen ends with "how is tesilid going to sacrifice himself to regain powers without dying", which is a nice cliffhanger but i think it's not appropriate for a season finale - the stakes are too high. pandora's ends with them entering the vatican, which is a whole new stage of their lives so i think it's a nice spot for s3 to pick up.

can you say the aru sekai series in a nutshell and link the 4-komas?
aru sekai series is about futile attempts to escape the cycle of destruction. no matter how hard they try the only way out is to lose everything they have both physically and mentally. thats the shortest way i can put it. there's a certain world they want to preserve, unfortunately it costs their entire selves to even attempt doing so.
to be clear aru sekai series is purely a song series there is no 4koma all content for the series is (currently) contained in the songs & accompanying videos. unless u want to count the little extra art the artists do for some characters but thats just art it doesnt have any new info in it
when i mention 4komas im a talking about the musical isotope 4komas which can be found here but its COMPLETELY UNRELATED the musical isotope project is a whole other entity by kamitsubaki. the only link to the series is that hiiragi magnetite uses them for series songs. thats it though theres no more crossover. i think theres english translations for these somewhere but i only ever read the japanese idk where to find the eng sorry

honestly the amptp forcing a wga strike right before the dga and sag-aftra contracts are up (and therefore all union directors and actors could potentially strike) is horrifying just because this is my livelihood but also kind of funny just because of the audacity. they’ve lost their minds.
PAY WORKERS FOR THEIR LABOR it is literally that simple. anyways.
