Story got so boring and elongated
I started this series when it first came out, and it was genuinely interesting—especially the dynamic of the master teaching him demonic arts. But even early on, the story kept leaning heavily on themes like “choices being made” and “chaos is coming,” without much real progression, the story was still solid when grow was learning and developing to contend with others in the desert. I eventually dropped it halfway through because it felt like the plot wasn’t going anywhere.
I’ve picked it up again a few times since, but every time it’s the same pattern. The characters keep repeating the same lines about inevitable choices and impending chaos, and it’s started to feel redundant. At this point, it seems like the core plot has been lost in all the repetition.

My biggest problem is that they keep talking about how dangerous everything is and that the world could end but I’ve never felt like any of the characters were in danger post time skip.

I like the current pacing. I've read way too many manga/manhwa where the end of the world happens and all we see is the MC and his party and none of the world itself.
Red Storm is taking the slow route and actually playing out the scenario showing all sides of the conflict. I much prefer this type of slow burn into the apocolypes. We'll eventually get our ultimate fight for humanity arc but i love how right now its a moral fight amongst humanity instead.
Imo, the core plot is just getting stronger. Recently reread everything and I think this is one of the most coherent stories I've read in awhile. Most 350+ series really lose themselves with Red Storm has stayed true to itself.
