@ItzDaiki Thank you for the chapter! Also, I don't know if this was an intentional thing to scope out potentials, but in the credits page, proofreader is misspelled as "poofreader". Just thought you'd wanna know. If you didn't already.

@MarqFJA87: It looks like @Shinya78 caught it too. Basically, Desumi was about to say, "Open your eyes for the next Faiz", which is the end-of-episode catchphrase from Kamen Rider 555, a.k.a. Kamen Rider Faiz.

"Hey, open your eyes for the next Fai...photo." I see you, translator. A+, and thank you for the translation!

@minmanga The best I can do is throw anything by Yoshihara Yuki at you and hope you'll find something you like there. A lot of her work leans towards the romantic comedy side of things, and can get a little tough on the ol' suspension of disbelief, but in a general sense, might fulfill your...

@TimeVolt I don't know if this exactly fulfills your criteria, but Boys on the Run could ostensibly count. The protagonist pretty much fails at every single thing he sets out to do, but does get something approaching a happy--for him, anyway--ending at the VERY end. I'm talking like, literal...

@spiderzzz Peter Grill to Kenja no Jikan?

"I've been reincarnated into an RPG world, but because I'm bad at video games, my stat spread is horrendous, and I must now rely solely on my gear scores to get by. Can I still defeat the demon king and return home, even if I don't find any rare drops?"

While I feel bad for Tamon/Stockingdog, I appreciate that Yamashita was fully aware of how much of an anticlimax that resolution was. Never change, Yamashita. And thanks, as always, for the fantastic translations.

I think there's also another factor to this, if you don't mind me adding my two cents to the discussion. Sometimes, people can find enjoyment in things they don't enjoy, as bizarre as that sounds. For example, if you start reading something, and part of the way through, you find yourself no...

I...I'm not gonna lie, I thought this was going to be some kind of meme series, and in a roundabout way, its approach is very similar. But it's also shockingly wholesome. Guess I'm adding something new to my reading list. Thanks for the translations!

As at least one other person here has said (probably more, but I just skimmed the comments): the concept is nothing new, but somehow, it still feels fresh in how it's presented. I feel like the art style used goes a fair way towards creating that freshness too, but in ways my vocabulary isn't...

@nobaka I've seen Event Horizon; it's for the best that we didn't, in fact, reach the singularity. That said, I don't think Baroque would've fit with the theme of this thread anyway--if you actually roguelikes, Baroque was pretty good once you got used to its admittedly bizarre internal logic...

@nobaka Crimson Tears too?! We might actually be the same person, because Crimson Tears is one of the few games I ever actually traded back to GameStop. (I kinda wish I had kept it just to like...have it and acknowledge its existence). If you say you played the PS2 remake of Baroque as well, I...

@Greenfrost Man, today is a day of firsts for me because I never thought I would hear the name Forever Kingdom show up here either. I actually quite enjoyed Forever Kingdom, though; the combo system it had was weirdly satisfying to pull off once you got it down, though the shared life bar did...

@ixlone You're one of the few people I've encountered personally to have ever played Evergrace that wasn't introduced to it by me. The game was really janky, for sure, but for it had that weird launch or near-launch title charm in how it tried to present itself. (But I will also submit that, as...

Persona 5. I know this is a pretty mainstream answer, and the game definitely has it flaws, but it was more so the circumstances around my purchasing the game that led to me being pleasantly surprised. Tl;dr at the bottom of the post. I've been playing the MegaTen franchise since the (horribly...

I will freely admit upfront that I'm speaking from an uninformed place, but I think scanlation is one of those "necessary evils", but even that term seems overly critical. "Reasonably appreciated misdemeanor" would be a closer approximation to how I feel about it. It goes to what a few people...

@LowSanity, maybe I'm butting into a thread that has nothing to do with me, but I think @anifd is asking to have a sorting option for when an entire series first began getting uploaded to MangaDex, not just when the most recent chapter was added. I'm only assuming this because I've had similar...

I like "jolly giant" type characters like the Senpai in Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi; on the flipside, I'm not the biggest fan of protagonists who spend the entirety (or majority) of the narrative reminding the audience of how pathetic and ordinary they are. The ONLY character I've ever seen...

No Man's Sky. I knew it couldn't live up to the hype. I had people insisting that I should wait for a price drop. Major outlets were already reporting bad reviews by the time I bought it. I literally had no one to blame but myself. But I kept telling myself that "It's probably not as bad as...
