The first volumes were more action-packed. Things did happen that drove the plot forward. This last volume had big stuff happen, but it was all happening “off-screen”. What the reader actually ot to see was more like (paraphrasing):
“Well if I use evolution on mob A 15 times and then put those 15 new mobs into the alchemical chamber and give it 800 exp and a drop of my bood, I get special mob B. Okay lets try with an unevolutionized mob A… Okay it doesn’t work. Maybe I should check with the evolutionized subtype of mob A. Okay, 15 subtype mob A plus 800 exp and a drop of blood… Oh, it’s 1.75 times stronger than the basic version…”.
This is a bit exaggerated, but basically what the volume boils down to. They create half a dozen or so new species by trial and error in this volume. It was just plain boring to read. I would have rather read about the stuff happening off-screen.
