What kind of bird eats steak? I can't even bite straight through a sirloin steak with human teeth, and you're telling me a bird's chewing through it like butter? Just make him eat bird seed ffs. It's so pointless to make your protag an animal if you aren't going to commit all the way.

@Chrona Our understanding of gravity is quite lacking so I'm not quite sure what point you're making with that. And by all means, magic in these stories is treated as if it were a science, with research academies and whatnot. But exclusively with the main character, it becomes an art instead...

@Chrona The difference is that the Pagans couldn't do anything with their understanding of lightning. Today, we can manipulate electricity to do amazing things for us. And that's only because of the objective knowledge of electricity that we have. These isekai authors want to pretend that...

The real problem with this manga and a lot of fantasy isekai is this concept of "imaaaaaaaagination" being the crux of magic. There is nothing that the author has to do to prove that a character can/can't imagine something. It's all about making your character as competent as possible without...

Been a while since I saw a translation that keeps random words as romaji. omoshiroi.

@xfaca Some of that explanation of dnp still doesn't sound quite right to me, but like I said, I've never heard of the stuff before this thread so I'll just take your work for it there. As for Keto, I know I could spend 5 hours in the kitchen, before a 1.5 hour workout and feel perfectly fine...

It's amazing how much emotion you can convey using a cast of deadpan characters with smart writing.

@xfaca That's nonsense. You expend calories during exercise to fuel the muscles doing the work. Heat is a by-product of that process. 25% of the energy consumed by your cells is typically turned into mechanical energy, with 75% becoming waste heat. Under dnp, 100% has to become heat because...

@Turkeysocks Like I said, far be it from me since I'm not Korean or Japanese (I'm Viet instead so I just hate the Chinese and the French xd ) to tell anyone how they should feel about their history. But I'm fairly confident that multiple Japanese administrations have formally apologized for it...

It's so weird how often I see manhwa depicting other countries as evil or weaker than Korea. You don't see this kind of thing with manga. Japanese authors rarely bother to acknowledge that the rest of the world even exists. They especially don't pay any mind to Korea. I know there's a bit of...

There's a part of me that can't respect how trashy it is. At the same time, there's just enough tension to make me want to know what happens next.

@xfaca Never heard of dnp but having just looked it up, I can't quite believe that you'd consider that death trap a viable dieting method. Rather than Keto, which basically makes fat your primary energy source, so that it naturally burns said fat. This dnp shit just blindly burns carbs and fat...

So it's a ketosis potion. I feel like there are some side effects to that which the author isn't considering. What happens to the human (ghost) body when you are magically in ketosis while still consuming carbs? Where is that excess energy going? Does your liver explode? etc.

Do Japanese authors really think that we won't get their story if the villain isn't the most obvious beady-eyed dick dastardly-looking idiot?

You literally can't do this shit in any story that wants to have tension or stakes. Once you know that a dead character can magically be revived, then you'll never ever be able to kill off a character again. The absolute best thing that could happen here is if it pulled a Fullmetal Alchemist...

I love when a group of characters is lively and nuanced enough to make me actually like reading exposition. Sure wish the idiots writing another adventurer guild rank explanation were as talented.

@ameraldas He literally hasn't changed his personality in the slightest from chapter 1. You couldn't have possibly gotten to chapter 10 without realizing he's an asshole.

@KuroAnsatsu If you assume that every single one of these generic Japanese/Korean/Chinese fantasy stories is written based on a grievance that the underclass of society would have, then it becomes pretty simple. The majority of people probably won't ever find a way to make their...

@Acolytus Check the raws. She looks more like a mixed-race. This looks like the scanlators fucked up somewhere. I'm pretty sure she's half-toned in the novel too.
