@Luftwaffles27 their footmen would look like Swiss pikemen:
Those guys were famous on the Middle Ages for being able to fend off bigger armies, using terrain for their advantage. Here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Laupen

Sorry in advance for this, I'm hoping I can contribute with something for the translation.
Here are some alt dialogues based on your translation: https://pastebin.com/mMmLsEFt
I'm an L3 speaker so it's possible I let some grammar mistake to slip through, but I believe it...
@icarushector "they" wouldn't work well here, it would sound like the characters are avoiding "he" and "she" on purpose. A better strategy would be pronoun avoidance - somewhat similar to what the JP author did. It would require some rewrite though:
It seems that he this demon came from that...
Small translation nitpick: "thou art" or "thou bist", never "thou are". Also, no reason to use thou on the first page if Aquata is going to use "you" later on.
Personally I think this series is flawed but by no means "garbage". It has strong points but it's by no means "excellent". Props for the author for trying something different, with a homeless and older protag, and for not boring us down with excessive usage of game mechanics.
Regarding the age...
@Renan_Walheim, @da - I can confirm that. By the view it looks like the copter was in Ciudad del Este, or maybe Puerto Iguazu; this makes them slightly harder to recognize because most people view them from Foz do Iguazu instead.
I think the pacing is slower because it's intended for an older audience than your typical isekai. It isn't exciting, but it's heartwarming in its own way.
@Harroc, @Kazouie: I kinda get the guy though, it's boring when you know nothing wrong can happen.
For an isekai this has an amazing slice-of-life vibe I really enjoy. It makes justice to the title - they're living their lives slow, enjoying them.
@Question2 it's a bit worse because it's an Anglicism in the original title. Borrowings stick out, so an overused borrowing gets tiring faster...
Kinda late to the party. Odds are the typesetter won't read this, but in case someone else is wondering.
Often in MMOs you have event-exclusive items, items that you can only access if you play the game in certain dates, e.g. a Santa hat for playing around Christmas. More invested players often...
Loser in real life: check. Transported on death to a magical world: check. Overpowered in fantasy world: check. Beast ears female sidekick with big boobs: check.
This is as bland, cliché, trashy, and predictable as possible. And I'm loving it.
