Ugh. Sir this and Sir that. Just use your -san and -sama affixes like normal translators. Everyone knows what they connote, as opposed to "Sir" which sounds so stilted and unnatural. English does not have functional equivalents for Japanese honorifics, period. Trying to translate things like...

I wish I could say the same. All the images failed to load for me. Anyone want to give me a quick and dirty synopsis? I was getting heavily invested in these characters, and I need some form of closure.

If this guy can make entire castle walls by just thinking about it, why can't he just make a big stone block and drop it on this guy's head? Or just seal him off in a room with no exits? Has he really forgotten how to use his only special ability? "Duhhhh, I can make raincoats but making a big...

Well, hopefully the self-indulgent manga storyline is done. And the dubious translation of "Onii-chan" into "Big Bro" only multiplied the cringe.

Welp. I waited like I said I would, and can now judge the thing with perspective. This is not series-ruining bad. But it is not good either. So, this goes on my Plan To Read pile to stew for a few more releases until I stumble across it again and decide to see if three or four more releases...

Hey there, translator. Thank you for your continuing efforts. And since you asked... Always Always ALWAYS use the Japanese honorifics. The Englsh "equivalents" are not at all equivalent in both flow and context. As I'm sure you know, there are at least a dozen ways to refer to one's elder...

@TheMapleDealer You're right, I didn't read it. And technically, it is the translator's note but whatev. So no drop for now, but the second half of the next chapter is going to have to be EFFING AMAZING to make this somehow "not NTR" and an acceptable silly manga that is worth continuing to...

Welp 🤥 Super-dropped. 💩 It's slightly possible that moving towards NTR could have been handled well, if it was foreshadowed or otherwise built toward. The new guy needed more time to assess the situation, think of the possibilities, test the waters, and then attempt to execute his evil plan...

Not a spoiler... This manga would be better titled " The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently in His Second Life, But The Artist Will Never Master Drawing A Human Face, Oh My God, The Horror, The Horror".

What @EmissaryOfInfinity said, plus don't forget that Darriel has been living in the Demon territory for the last 30 or so years, and a lot of the habits and behaviors he developed there in order to survive do not magically vanish from his personality once he becomes powerful enough to puree...

Hm. Not bad.

You would think that even reincarnated little girls would know not to go off with strange men. That guy is like a living advertisement for skeeviness.

There's nothing like condensing about a dozen chapters of text into a 9-panel montage. This month of training was hellish--both physically and psychologically, but all you get out of those 9 panels is that Renya was being kinda spartan and full of tough love. I suppose that says as much about...

I read the description of this series and I thought I was having a stroke. Not the good kind either -- the kind that involves an artery in my brain bursting.
