To each his own then. To me, honestly, the humans have so little impact on the story as a whole, that factoring the story characters around their systems and concepts seem foolish. The Web Novel seems the relevant pieces relevant, hence why I prefer it to the LN. Also, the other characters get shine, its just the more powerful the villains become the unfortunate fate that some characters can't keep up. Which is also fine, because if this were like One Piece and "every" character had a fight, it'd be bloated and honestly exhausting. But hey, if that's your cup of tea, that's fine.

Clayman, as a whole, is a joke, and he's less pulling strings for himself and more for someone else. His plans aren't his own. And if you aren't aware of that, you end up giving the man far more credit that he is due. Shion beat the living sh*t out of him, and ever trick he pulled was immediately circumvented by Rimuru, and he ended up dying a dogs death.
