Status Updates From Ayanashi Vol. 1

To consider that Holo attracts Oni is total nonsense. That might work for two of the cities but with the middle one he was there by coincidence and only after the attack. By that logic its more likely to assume that Oni attract him. And even that makes no sense.

so Holo, at 16, is now dangerous even for an Anayashi, for some reason killing Oni is ... problematic for humans... why? I get being an executioner is, but Oni barely look human and are considered death incarnate among the cities here, so why would anyone hesitate killing one when the have the chance? And the one-eyed one who killed Rico is here as well also... why is he necessary? Aren't the oni enough?

The cities just "appear" above ground with all its "relics" or is that just a figure of speech by Holo? The girl Aura and her father definitely are smarter than him now as they collect relics to later sell them.

So the spider-Oni is called Sodemaki.

The way this spider oni was brought down (cutting its legs so its own weight makes it fall down) was a good and believable idea. But if they can only be killed with such short weapons and light/fire helps against their deadly miasma, why aren't cities equipped with spikes and fire systems?

These Oni here look so human that they seem to have genders, so were they human once? Either way, using the owl to distract them is a good idea. However, if they can sense an owl that far above them, how come they don't attack cities more often? No one should be surprised then if they attack.

How can Oni just overrun these cities? Do they have no defense mechanism? The inefficient cannon at the start was already pretty damn odd when the Oni attacked. That was AoT level of stupidity.

Holo has a superior? How does that work? So far it was suggested as if Anayashi are loners and how are they organized here? The worldbuilding seems a bit off.

They think the Anayashi has brought the oni to the city... ok, that is not an Attack on Titan clone, they have far too much sense to be like that series. So far the Oni also come across as much more dangerous on their own, not like the titans who are only dangerous because the humans are morons.

This currently comes across like an Attack on Titan clone. The oni is some big monster that just came through the main gate and now people are fleeing. Albeit if it is a clone, it is way superior in writing. The writing in Attack on Titan was shit.

Her name is Sierra, good, I found it really odd that her brother was called Torin all the time but she was only referred to as "sister" by him despite her clearly being more prominent of a character than him. I guess its just a bit odd introduction.
