I think I have 10 or so unread chapters because I’ve been dreading reading it because I already forgot everything. I think I should go back reading from the day they departed.

Personally speaking, I loved it, partly because it was so ridiculous in scope. You are probably right that it’s good to read from back around when they depart, if not a little before, in order to preserve some degree of orientation given how convoluted it gets. I’ll probably need to reread a bunch too once it zooms out from the current situations that are easier to understand.
I guess the thing that I really like about it is that, when you make the effort of really paying attention to it, it all makes sense and is engaging, whereas a lot of media falls apart when you drill down on it.

There’s another amazing manga going on right now called World Trigger that is pulling the same trick of lots of action followed by an extremely technical and long arc. I think it’s nice that mangas like these are allowed to exist, but boy are they hard to follow on a chapter by chapter basis (this one’s a monthly manga).

I saw a tiny bit of World Trigger and it came off as another Overpowered Protagonist manga, but then I also see people hyping it up as one of the best current manga, so idk what to make of it.

The main character is the weakest, and maybe a little smart.
