Ah, yes, 2 characters I don't really know are fighting each other for reasons I don't really understand with powers I've never seen them use. Classic.

@tuatara1 You'd be surprised. When the slaves in the US were freed, many just went back to their old masters, not knowing what else to do and never having known the ability to do as you please. Most slaves were not actually stolen from their homes (especially in America after the Revolution)...

There's no way this is allowed. If some thugs come by and threaten you into selling something, local authorities will take action, especially if the victims are bankers or wealthy merchants. I have seen nothing that would lead me to believe the local authorities are so negligent or corrupt that...

Good god she's annoying. Somebody yeet this thot.

@Esper English is actually one of the most (if not outright the most) advanced languages in the world. It has many, many more tenses than most languages, allowing you to be extremely precise with what you mean, while simultaneously allowing advanced poetry and prose without too much effort. Not...

@chusetto I read it precisely because it is free for me to read scanlations, but if I were to read something else I'd probably go for old detective comics or some French comics. I'd have to pay for some of those, though, and they would be more limited. This ending is pretty damn terrible...

@phantom00 I have some bad news for you. That's just manga in general, regardless of the genre. The most common exceptions are manga based LNs, but the LNs themselves have the same problem, so in the end they still exhibit the same issues even if they have a well defined end goal in mind. This...

@Kalamel It's eminently reasonable and understandable to throw out an argument when I don't agree with it. It is, in fact, what you would expect somebody to do. After all, why would I respect a position I find to be incorrect? I don't know how you could call it a good relationship when he was...

Wait, that's the end?

@Kalamel I disregard your entire monologue because you're defending a man who sold his daughter into an arranged marriage to bail other people out of debt. Constance's father is by no means a good person, he recklessly follows his interpretation of an ideal he wants to uphold, damn the...

Oh, this is apparently axed at chapter 20. I guess it all makes sense now, the author is trying to hurry to the ending he didn't set up, but that doesn't really explain why he decided to switch to different characters. He could have just kept using the MC and hurried through the training in a...

@Korsai At least Fast and Furious movies keep the same characters around so you can understand who they are and why they're doing what they're doing and what significance the events have to the characters. Sure, they're inconsistent and not very well thought out, but they don't just swap mid...

Can somebody tell me when this arc ends? Because I don't give a fuck people who haven't been developed and who I don't know about. The author desperately needs to bring the protagonist back into this so we have somebody we can related to, since we don't really know much about any of these...

@Korvalus I think that interpretation is utterly missing the point. Her father isn't being honest, he's being an altruist. He's pissing away the family's wealth and going into debt to "help others." Sure, that may mean he is being used, but that's doesn't make him a good or benevolent person, it...

@FredFriendly I'm also an American English speaker. I can agree that it is nit-picky, it's just something I've noticed across a bunch of different manga and I've never understood why it was translated that way.

@FredFriendly "I know that I'm hated by you" still isn't something people typically say in English, it would be "I know that you hate me." I know that doesn't really fit with the next 2 sentences, but those also aren't very common phrases in English, either. "I think it's good that someone...

Out of curiosity, why do people translate it as "being hated?" It's not commonly used in English, it should be the phrase "you hate me" or "he hates me." While the passive voice is sometimes used, "being hated" has never been used by any native English author in any English novel as far as I am...

@Cyro11 "Joshi Kosei," which translates literally to "high school girl."

@NoSoup I think it's far more likely that the author literally doesn't understand the concept of private ownership of property. If he does and his intention is to set up the real estate company and/or the local government, then what we have to believe is that every single character is...

@Mogima The government can't just evict you from property that you own. They have to purchase it themselves, or if they appropriate it then they have to compensate you for it (at least, that is the case for governments that aren't just blanket dictatorships). In this case, though, it seems like...
