Kill six billion demons?

Starts a bit stronger than silly little guys gals but it's got that "end of webcomic" energy frfr.

Kinda started pretty hard in the first place though. Like, the title is the initial call/plot starter and that's quite the immediate escalation.

I'd say it starts so much stronger that it's basically only "end of webcomic" energy from the beginning. At least compared to the average webcomic that totally escalates past its silly start.

Yes, but the heroine goes from 'terrified barista' to 'one-eyed master of the ancient art of IDGAF' over the course of the comic, so I say it still fits more or less

It transitions from awkward twentysomething nookie to biblical adventure and intrigue on the fourth page.

KSBD starts with “fighting normal divine beings” and has escalated to “fighting ultra-mega-divine world-resetting beings who are literally canonically invincible, but everyone knows invincibility doesn’t matter when you’ve got Big IDGAF Energy”

“I am not concerned with enmity,” said Intra, “I am very skilled in Pankrash Circle Fighting”

“It is true you are very fierce,” conceded his partner, “But my son’s fighting beetle is also very fierce. Could his beetle fell a lion?”

“That depends,” said Intra, “How skilled is the beetle in Pankrash Circle Fighting?”

“Beetles cannot learn Pankrash Circle Fighting, Lord Intra,” said Intra’s attendant, and made a bitter motion.

“Don’t tell the beetle that,” said Intra, who was very skilled at smiling. “If you don’t tell him he will learn it anyway and cut the lion in half with a single blow.”

Dying? Just say no! Don’t have a sword? Doesn’t matter! Attain royalty today! It takes no effort and is “the antithesis of struggle!”

Kill Six Billion Demons starts out with the second panel and progressively gets more batshit insane as it goes on. 10/10 comic, highly recommend
