The climax of Chapter 116 is a three-page, wordless spread showing Amato drawing the "Heavenly Ruler" —a 3D wireframe dragon that bleeds ink. Unlike the messy summons of his rivals, Amato’s dragon is rendered in clean, professional G-pen strokes. The dragon doesn’t just fight; it corrects the physics of the battlefield. It erases the enemy’s momentum and redraws the terrain into a flat, defensible fortress. The "Brush Point" Verdict: Why This Chapter Works Many isekai fall into the trap of overpowering the MC with numbers. Chapter 116 avoids this by focusing on the cost of creation. Amato suffers from "Car Tunnel Syndrome" (a fictional ailment in the manga where over-drawing causes his actual wrist to crack). By the end of the chapter, he has drawn 1,264 strokes. His right hand is bleeding, but his eyes shine with the madness of a weekly mangaka facing a deadline.
Unlike previous chapters where he sketched environmental traps (Chapter 112’s pitfall grid) or support golems (Chapter 114’s Ink Golems), Chapter 116 sees him weaponize perspective itself. He draws a single-point vanishing line directly through the center of the enemy swarm. The result? Every demon that crosses that invisible line is immediately bisected along a two-dimensional plane.

The author recently posted on social media that the "composition of the double spread for Chapter 117 is taking longer than expected because I have to physically draw a fight scene that breaks the 4th wall of the tablet."

In a shocking twist, Amato’s spectral editor, Kato-san , appears in a flashback panel. Kato-san’s advice is brutal: "A true serialization doesn't fear the cancellation of reality. Draw the 'next chapter' before the current one ends." This is the trigger. Amato realizes that predicting enemy movements is just like predicting reader feedback. Amato suffers from "Car Tunnel Syndrome" (a fictional
The final panel is iconic: The Demon General, Gruk the Solid , lunges at Amato. Time freezes. Amato whispers: "Time for the rough sketch." The official preview text for Chapter 117 reads: "The rough sketch becomes the final draft. But who is the real artist—and who is the blot of ink?"
Chapter 116 is the turning point of the Dreadwood Arc . It moves Amato from a reactive summoner to a proactive reality-warper . The art style this chapter is notably sharper, utilizing more vertical panelling to simulate the "manga page" feel within the isekai world.
It has been seven days since the last release, and the silence from the author’s desk has finally broken. For fans of the most unique isekai blend on the market—where artistic talent meets real-world combat— has arrived, and it is a masterclass in tension.
