So I just finished chapter 12

1) I'm surprised people don't dislike Smoky more, or at least bring it up more often. Dude went full murder mode when he realized there's a bonus soul hanging out in the trophy.

2) Did Fuxi just... die? You know, they didn't make that very clear We didn't really hurt him, but he still ended up vanishing, which I thought only happened when they died. Also, he wasn't nearly as much of a yandere siscon as some people made him sound. Controlling, yes, but he ended up giving up on MC willingly, which I assumed counts as giving up on his goal, and that's why he vanished.

3) I like Ellie and her gay dads. Hope we get to see more of them.

4) I'm curious about the Leanan/Sanat plot, but I heard it got kinda dropped, so I won't get my hopes up on that.

Overall, I liked this chapter. The second arc overall has been pretty good so far.

PS: is the Sandayu/Kresnik quest better for farming big seeds? It also gives small blossoms, so I figure the rate might be lower.
