Reading/waiting for Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu. I had dropped it twice during the first fifteen chapters over the past year, but I finally managed to get past that point and am shocked over how good it becomes. I don't know if the author is actually a good writer or he fell into a well written plot ass backwards considering how terrible the story is before it really gets going.

>>143939131
Wow, I dropped most of those. Also, you read Megumin's spin off before reading Konosuba?

Out of your list I only kept reading Lazy Dungeon Master and Glorious Explosions.

Light / Web novels? Pick related.

Manga? Here's the last couple series I caught up on or picked up:

Senpai, Sore Hitokuchi Kudasai - Kinda funny, but not that great
Kanojo wa Rokurokubi - just caught up, very 'comfortable' series
Maris Stella of Doomsday - I don't even know, but I think I like it
Tejina Senpai - Getting old, but it isn't bad
Boku no Kanojo ga Majime Sugiru Shojo Bitch na Ken - funny, but I expect it to get old
Kiss Him not Me - Pretty bland chick wish fullfillment nonsense still kinda funny
Harvest December - Didn't really care for it
Mononoke Soushi - Thank you OPT, this is great
Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge - pretty gay
Tsukushi Mates - Even though I recently read this, I had to look and see what it was
Renai Manga - Yuri shit; I liked it
Momo Sora - it was okay
Berserk - good old Berserk
Sesuji wo Pin - Good, but didn't live up to the hype
Boku no Hero Academia - Not my tea, but I don't drop manga
Jitsu wa Watashi wa I am - gets better every time
Hikidashi ni Terrarium - Fan-fucking-tastic
Furou Kyoudai - Wasn't bad, would have gotten old fast if it was longer
Dungeon Meshi - Consistently good since the first chapter

>>143940136
I dunno, they've improved a lot. First draft of those two volumes were horrendous.

>>143939131
Katahane no Riku finally updated after a hiatus.
Basically your standard jackass reincarnated into a the harem MC of a game and decided keeping his imouto alive when their father decided to throw her off a cliff wasn't that important because she wasn't anything special in the game.
The imouto is not amused, survives, gets picked up by the enemy (demons) and it turns out that her powers are a thousand times more useful against humans than demons. Then she ends up (accidentally) brutally slaughtering her way through the male reincarnated's entire harem.
If it wasn't for the fact that she hates her family I'd think she was an over the top yandere.

>>143940738

looks interesting Anon think i will check it out.

>>143940847
Nah. I might have worded things a little badly. She's killing them on purpose. She just doesn't realize they're members of the harem until way after she's decided to kill them.
The only time she knew it was as harem member ahead of time was when it was The demon king's sister that was acting as the interim demon king while he brother is sealed. Riku does not have patience for bitches and whores getting in the way of her revenge. Just about everyone under her is terrified of somehow getting stuck in between her and revenge or not being able to explain quickly enough.

>>143940847
The fun part is the MC going full SRPG heroine and totally wrecking everyone and the whole demon army being like 'wait a second you're a human get out' but they don't know that her Dragon General used his Dragon Dick and name magic to make her his bitch forever.
And a death god cunting around.
And the brothers suffering.

>>143941185
It's not bad so far. The translations are really early though so i'd recommend waiting a year or so as we're still not even in the starter zone.

Do any of your guys read domestic web novels? I'm interested, but I have no idea how to find out about good ones. I've only read Worm.

>>143940974
>>143941049
There are some stretches of it that have a serious Nothing Happens problem, and sometimes it tries to get readers invested in boring shit like when a bunch of plebs are sent out to hunt down wild animals and they get wrecked on account of being shit., but usually it has just the right mix of downtime and things happening.

Also, big tits brown queen is god-tier and the mc is a shit for falling for another country's princess

>>143941333
I've never read anything domestic because I know I'll hate it. And fuck American-style comics. It all just disgusts me, and I don't know why.

>>143941148

SB's worm fanfics are almost universally better than canon.

Especially since the author did a bunch of retarded retcons because the Endbringers were losing Versus debates.

"Oh no, people don't think Leviathan could beat Superman, better make all Endbringers require universe-busting power to kill without the bullshit exceptions that I'm going to pull out of my ass!"

I hate all fiction with roots in video games.
It makes me feel like the generations under me are crazy bastards with no connection to real life. I can't imagine enjoying that shit.

>>143941333
Does To the Stars count? It's technically a fanfic though.

I really didn't like the power wankery in Worm, and I wish the cosmic horror shit and stayed in the background. Once it stopped being about local warlords I felt it really went to hell.

I still love Bitch, she is waifu material and probably the reason I didn't drop it after the MC gave herself a lobotomy for hacks.

>No one wants to hear what you hate.

At least Spear Gaiden is entertaining due to how batshit Spear is.

>>143941748
>No one wants to hear what you hate.
Let's not just suck dick here. I want to hear about the good and the bad.

Honestly I kind of agree. I forgive it in some series if it makes sense or if I can ignore it. Kumo is a good example, the video game world actually makes sense and isn't just a 'I wish life was more like a game because I hate life' kind of thing.

A synopsis: A salary man is offered to come and live as the husband of a Queen of the country Carpa, which is in a parallel universe. He was temporarily transported to their country for the proposition, which is at the level of the pre-medieval/medieval? Middle East + magic.

The mc tries to improve things with his advanced knowledge and some culture shock shenanigans happen too.There four translated volumes, and as that anon said there are some uninteresting parts. I haven't read the fourth volume but I enjoyed the first two ones quite a bit.
Also fuck me, I read spoilers out of habit.

Where do you guys read manga? Used to use manga reader.net but it was very behind on some things, so I switched to kissmanga, but someone told me it's owned by the kissanime people and now I feel like a pleb.

Botsuraku Youtei Nanode, Kajishokunin wo Mezasu

The story of a dude that got into another world as an aristocrat. He was born like that, but after falling from a tree he remembers his past life and the current one is the same as a popular videogame.

He is not the MC for that game, he is a secondary character and the main one is a girl that eventually will rise from plebeian to be the Prince's wife, in the main route. MC instead will get married to a beautiful girl that is also the rival and bully of the main girl (Iris).

Anyway, he is fat and a loser, but after getting the past life's memories back, he decides to learn blacksmithing in order to avoid getting the worst future he gets in the game.


Sometimes it's boring shit, because there are other characters that actually are not interesting. But the interactions with the bully beautiful girl (Eliza), are just gold, and I'll keep reading just because that.

Basically, everyone is expecting the Twin Kingdom to send a seductress after him, but she isn't actually one. He falls for her because he lets his guard down and ends up captivated by stereotypical Japanese qualities, like the fact that she's hard-working, studious, inventive, and polite. It also doesn't help that she apparently reminds him of some past crush he had.

As of the latest chapter posted, the Queen basically forbade him from being alone with her after he absentmindedly taught her how lenses and telescopes work, which she replicated in seconds with enchantment magic, made worse by his dumb ass still not remembering how to make glass, so Carpa can't make lenses of their own yet.

There's something unsettling about the way they draw her with bishoujo eyes in the LN. I much prefer the simple design used in the manga, where her face actually looks like a spider's, yet is still cute and expressive

>>143944049
I doubt it.

The Arifuta protag got white hair, an eyepatch, and arm bandages like 6 chapters in because his Chuuni level wasn't high enough to handle how comically OP his stats were getting.

>>143944136
>There's something unsettling about the way they draw her with bishoujo eyes in the LN

It's even worse since she isn't even a real bishoujo.

At least until her apothosis anyways.

how is magi's grandson ranked so highly? It's basically on the same level as onii-sama when it comes to how the universe revolves around highlighting how benevolent and powerful the MC is.

In his defense, he thought MC was one of those stereotypes that forced the QT loli to have sex with him every night. Generally, you wouldn't name somebody you care about "Meat (Toilet)". He had his White Knight googles on and didn't actually bother to find out that Meat actually liked it.

MT got one chapter update after like half a fucking year. For fucks sake. The materials out there, but it's only like two guys who are too stubborn to accept help. The pricks.

>>143944425

Just translate it. If you pay attention to someone who needs half a year for a single chapter of MT's quality and size you're certainly doing something wrong.

Sexualizing Meat is not okay. The MC looks to cute and young. The huge moe moe saucer eyes are also way overdone. It conflicts with the way I was imagining the characters really harshly.

Just keep the regular spider face. Jesus that human face is terrible.

Author said that he was writing it on the fly at that point. It shows.
They don't really bring up his stats too much afterwards because his meat eating gave him the highest stats by the end of the first dungeon.
I suppose the whole near death but unable to die state was what really made him superedge though.

There's like four different groups translating MT right now.

>>143942612
I don't think he's naturally a lolicon. All of his internal thoughts seem to lead to him being confused at him suddenly being a lolicon. I think Haku's brainwashing rubbed some of her personality into him and by that I mean specifically her siscon lust.
>>143944361
To be fair to him, he did explicitly get confirmation that MC knew what her name meant directly from the MC. All misunderstandings at this point are entirely upon him and her saying she likes it would only further the misunderstandings since that implies he mindbroke the loli via making her lick toilets clean.

It's like sifting for gold in a pile of shit, but here goes (all recommendations have at least one volume of material):

Best Space Sci-fi with VRMMORPG elements:

The Gam3: Basically first contact with aliens happen and humanity is introduced to The Game, a virtual reality "game" that was designed to replace physical warfare.

Best Apocalypse with RPG elements:
Change, New World: Suddenly, monsters begin to spawn on Earth, places are turned into dungeons, and people gain a RPG system.

Best Basebuilding:
The Defective Hermit: Crotchety old dude down on his life wins the lottery and secludes himself away from others. Warning boxes appear for all of humanity saying that modern technology is going to fail and monsters will appear. MC uses his money to prepare for the change and fortify his compound. Point of Interest: Author actually uses dice rolls for all enemy encounters, stat gains, and damage dealt. So there's no plot armor

Best Dungeon Master:
The Slime Dungeon. An amnesiac soul become a core of a dungeon and decides to create a dungeon with slimes as the base creature

Miscellaneous:
The Great Tower: The entertainment program, "Humanity" had shit ratings so it was cancelled. The leftover humans were put into the program "The Great Tower" where all participants need to climb the tower. Pretty much Tower of God + The Gamer

Anything by Andur: Because he actually finishes his novels

The square cube law doesn't mean anything in this universe when it comes to living things. They covered that very early on.

>>143944957
Its for those people who like logical MCs. The story is pretty awful in my opinion, as all it does is focus on the MC nation building then spoiling what the future that happens because of his efforts is, notsaber is the reaction character.

He saved her in the end, and trying to do anything before that might have gotten them all killed. It's a shame, but Keima is a good guy. He's a good guy.

Also, she said her name was Meat, he just jumped to the wrong conclusion because he's too nice to imagine the alternatives. Meat is a pure hugging pillow, her past didn't happen. Pure Hugging Pillow.

>>143944957
I'd read it, it's different enough from other isekai that I can't think of something to compare it to. it's mostly about management decisions and MC never really fights directly.

They don't have the tech to get hot enough temperatures to melt sand, and japanese salarymen aren't well known for their ability to set up midieval forges.

>>143945488
At this point I think that we can establish that Keima has lost all moral and ethical restraints, and has fully taken on the role of a dungeon master.

The author totally lampshaded how little of a shit he gave when he personally lead that group of retards to their death.

>Andur

Him and blackthorne just right a ton of stories that are basiclaly the same thing over and over again once you get past the first story arc.

Also I still suggest people that want western stuff read the Practical guide to evil

It's about a young woman living in the former land of holy knights and heroic royalty that got conquered by the lands of evil after they went through a roman style military reform She dreams of joining said evil army, rising up in the ranks, and turning her homeland into a more autonomous vassal state under her iron fist.

私、能力は平均値でって言ったよね!(I said to make my abilities average, didn't I!?)

Another one of those death by truck memory intact reincarnation WN -> LN stories. Girl was fairly talented on Earth and caused some family problems so she asked the interim god to make her average in the next life. Out of probable pity at her not choosing a cheat to help her get by, she does get what she asked for but it's not average in the mode sense but average in the median/mean sense. Instead of being born a regular old village girl she gets born into a middling noble family and has half the strength and magic capability of the world's strongest monsters. The world she's in is actually super advanced and runs on nanomachines but due to cultural decline and stagnant innovations from their magic it's functionally your regular old RPG world where she has middleground administrative access to the world's nanomachines which of course is of a higher level than any human before her.

Picked it up on my last book run because of the all 5 star reviews it had at the time as well as the description notes of it ranking highly in the syosetsu site thing but quite honestly I'm just not seeing any aspect stronger than a 3 so far. I've got another 60 or so pages to go but outside a few amusing jokes it doesn't have much going for it. The protagonist is a dull airhead with a few mary sue tendencies so the story reads more like a chronicle of the effect she has on her surroundings but the material isn't the least bit engaging. It'd be tolerable as a 4koma(it's getting manga soon btw) but it reads really average as a LN.

Read something with a similar enough setup months back called the Reincarnated Girl's Resume which did everything so much better that you could use the two series to illustrate what makes a story interesting.

>>143935762
It's odd that this has one of the more difficult LN proses out there. Does it really get even duller from vol 1?

>>143945375
Its really not and they probably live in a fucking desert.

>>143945486
They look alot different than I expected.
Fat guy isn't nearly as obese as I thought. Beastgirl is alot older looking and so on.

Reformation is in a weird spot for me since i feel like things fall too easily into the lap of the MC. The other weird thing for me is that he's using Machiavelli's Prince as a guide for what he does.
Since that entire book is completely filled to the brim with sarcasm designed to run the kingdom of anyone (or specifically the actual prince the book is talking about) into ruin via inciting a people's revolution against tyranny I simultaneously feel the urge to roll my eyes and laugh at everyone for using it at the same time.

Precisely her initial attitude. She tries to hide it to be normal though it's pretty apparent she's anything but average.

Lazy Dungeon Master, quite a few updates today.

>>143946423
This was the one I was talking about in >>143946067. It's a really engaging read. 12 year olds are oddly stacked in reincarnation stories.

>>143946291
Average sucks in that world. It seems like the sort of thing most people would immediately regret being.

>>143946470
Haven't read that one but the god comes across as a well-meaning dude. The idea behind the god and the nanomachine world was actually more interesting than the story's functional setting.

>>143942687
Are you shilling your own novel? Be honest here.

>>143946067
Being "average" is stupid.
You could take the parameters of hundreds, or even thousands of people (The Air Force did this back in the 50's and 60's), and take an average of it. And you know how many people would fit that average?
Fucking nobody.

>>143946470

>>143946763

I tried to read that after being recommended it on /co/ but couldn't get through even the first chapter.

>>143946804
The translations are bad, but if you can get past that it's ok.

>>143946943
>The translations are bad
Nigga what? For Death March? They are literally better that 75% of that other shit.

>>143946726
Would it still appeal to the atelierfag in me? It's not interesting enough to go through it raw but reading the translations might go easier on my attention span.

>>143946804
If you can get past the atrocious beginning, where a game company decides that giving players a literal nuke at lvl 1 is good game balancing, then it gets to "decent" territory later on.

>>143946977
What? Last time I checked they felt like they were google translated.

>>143946804
Yes, but don't expect much from the MC. He is a cheat like character, he even says that.

Read for the comfy feeling of getting cute girls as slaves, and how he keeps rising as an aristocrat.

>>143947031
What did you stop at chapter one or something? They're great.

>>143946999
I though that was a move from some other game he got to play with that shrine girl when kid.

I think she was the one that uses it, not him, but somehow he got this skill once he was sent to the other world

>>143945716
They started it. They were thieves and ass hats. My mother always said, "It's better to eat breakfast with a murderer then a thief or a liar."

As far as I'm concerned, as of the current English release, Keima is definitely on firm moral footing.

Cheating the Hero was kind of bad, but he did it for the lolis.

>>143947088
What, the meteor skill? He got that from the game he was working on. And I think the shrine girl is the old hero. I think, I'm starting to mix characters at this point.

>>143946897
The first few chapters are hard to read because it feels like a westerner doing anime tropes.
But it gets much better.

Later a character describes the protagonist as a porcupine, someone who's nice once you get past all the prickliness. You just gotta get there yourself.

>>143945113
Even so, he got no brains nor initiative.

This is kind of annoying because he just need to invest some time and keep getting results, not like he has to do everything himself.

Also, what happened to the mathematics thing? He introduced the numbers and that was all.

I know he has to be the puppet husband, but in all honesty that is just plain impossible. One best option would have been making him in charge of technology, and giving Queen full power over him.

>>143947139
He had that dream when he was a kid and used to play a rpg with a shrine girl, she uses that move to obliterate some of his stuff but he captured his camp anyways.

That's the girl that talked about becoming a god first, then he wakes up.

The shrine girl is a girl he met in his childhood, Hero Yamato is his kouhai from college and co-worker, they are not the same.

I'm in love with kenkyo kenjitsu

It's very soothing

>>143947298
Man, I like the series, but keeping track of all these characters is a bit of a hassle.

>>143947089
Have you completely ignored that he's been cheating everyone constantly? He's had no moral footing for a long time. To respond to your mother's saying; He's even worse than a regular liar since he's giving you technical truths to trick you into something other than the truth.

both the WN and the LN got much, much better translations now. They grew as translators rather quickly thanks to comments about their english. The LN is a little better than the WN so far. I think it would be tolerable if the MC didn't get even more and more ridiculous as time went on though.
>>143947432
Hey that isn't exactly fair, Sherry is the only one who had an actual education(I didn't read about the elf yet) and she had her fair amount of stabs at the MC.
It's pure self insert, when I was into it I just read it just for that.

>>143947383
>Have you completely ignored that he's been cheating everyone constantly?
Who? The people going into the dungeon? With the sword trail and the fake story? That's all to feed and protect Rokuko.
I honestly don't have a problem with deceit, just actual lies. In fact it's the influence of his fear of the lie detectors that really makes me like him. He's a nice guy who will help people out while still expecting some kind of return. He stands up for his dungeon family ruthlessly.

I'd say the only moral fault he has is that he's a bit of a greedy cunt, but that works out well for Rokuko, as it means he's motivated to milk adventurers for DP.

>>143947345
I don't think there is someone that was not confused by it.

I thought they were the same, but while he remembers the kouhai, he can't tell who was that other girl. There is also the fact that the shrine girl has her hair changing colours iirc.

This was somehow clarified after Yamato was out in the disturbances in the capital and he talks about her in the next chapters.
That other girl could be the goddess that sent him to the other world to make him a god. There is that legend about a couple meeting every time in every time and place.


Still I think he is a fag for not even considering on having kids, even though there are like hundreds of girls wanting the D, but keeps using prostitutes for the fun.

the crap on yukkuri-literature-service
also just read the entire webcomic el goonish shive
dropped most of what I've been reading after they get boring

Reading some of the shittiest guilty pleasure chink shit possible about a college kid who gets transported back to 3 Kingdoms and becomes Lu Bu's son in law. Only thing worth a damn is how amusing everyone sees him and the broken English describing it.

>>143947699
He's still like, what, 16? I think he wants to wait till everyone is older before he starts worrying about touching the girls and children. Wouldn't mind if he had some kids though. Not enough MCs actually have kids in their stories.

>>143947432
>>143947671
I thought we would finally see what's "normal' in their world or a different perspective from the new harem member

>>143945334
Note that I also made having at least one volume's worth of material as a criteria. The dude's also working on 4 more other stories at the same time. So expect updates at a snail's pace.

I can't even bother with Death March. When people say it is comfy, that is just another excuse to introduce slice of life that has no value or silver lining to it. A bunch of pointless crap with no underlying value. No hero's journey, no stakes to even feel serious about and no proper development of a story even though they try to shove it in somewhere within that long-ass chapter list. The bar is really low. This story in pic related looks much more appealing in terms of story and slice of life at this point.

there are better self inserts to waste your time on. hell, there are better self inserts where the MC's cheat is skill reset, slave #1 is a dog girl and they make a living grinding in a dungeon.

and the world makes no fucking sense. everything they need they get from dungeon drops, and they live in a dungeon based economy. I skimmed a lot of it so I might remember incorrectly but the MC filled a futon with a feather drop because either birds don't exist or the author was too lazy to illustrate anything that wasn't a dungeon or the inside of one of five set rooms the MC teleports to.

>>143947741
I randomly skipped to one chapter of that and couldn't stand the weird english. Too big a culture gap for me.

Nah its just really slow paced in the WN. The LN is faster so far. It gets 'serious' parts later on but they are few and far between. Probably because the MC is maybe the Demon God.
>>143947792
They've always had little talks about whats normal. It's just that even the best of the best take like a lifetime to actually progress in the dungeons and gather good equipment because they don't have cheats like the MC.
I'm assuming that the nobles probably have something equivalent to the MC, and are just keeping it quiet. Especially with that Gambler class shit, there's no way that guy got that by chance.

It's pretty close for fanart. As far as I recall she's not called ugly but she is small and pettanko so men have no interest in her (well except her subordinates)

>>143947850
You can't be serous here. Those two series has nothing in common.

Death March is for the sake of a dude traveling while achieving wealth an status. It's slow paced, but overall there is nothing out of place so you have a good story and comfy moments. Also you got everything wrong since MC is not even a hero. He is a god, or maybe a demon lord.

Uchi no musume is about an adventurer that becomes papa and dotes on his demon daughter just so much that you keep on throwing up sugar.

>>143948111
I though Slave Harem would get better after MC fucked dog girl first, but couldn't keep on reading. That protagonist is just too annoying.

Well since you didn't even read it clearly there isn't much point in discussing it with you because you would know that plenty of stuff that the MC thinks is 'normal' only exists from dungeon drops. The dungeons are alive. I bet you didn't even get to dog girl's backstory, and not that she was sold for covering the taxes.
>>143948152
Yeah fuck the MC for fucking her both physically and mentally.
>>143948196
Youjo senki is shit though, only the premise was a fun idea the actual writing is awful and tanks really fast.

>>143948112
I can't even bother with the worldbuilding as it has rpg elements that belong only in games.

I can't take Death March seriously.

>>143948076
Overload is pretty drab. It's the same hook over and over again. Konosuba is pretty charming. I never even thought to read Index, it seemed like a wank fest that indulged in the worst of Japanese battle fiction.

>>143947902
It doesn't matter what people think or say or even what their motivations are, it's what they do that's important. As far as I can see, cheating the hero was the worst thing he's done, and that was after he was provoked.

>>143948112
>I randomly skipped to one chapter of that and couldn't stand the weird english. Too big a culture gap for me.

I think the culture gap is second to the MTL engrish. It's frequently at the level of Spear Hero Gaiden which is bonafide MTL.

Yeah. The only reason I read it is that there's Railgun, anime (holly shit anime made it so much more bearable, even fights, now that I see how bad fights were written in original) and that I have nothing else to read at the moment.

It is. After the first few volumes you've seen pretty much everything the series has to offer:

Skeletal dick sucking
Morality misunderstandings
Spooky dad who trusts his kids too much
Skeletal dick sucking
Cute and creepy shenanigans
repeat

There is literally nothing else.

> Only the premise was a fun idea
Seeing that made me laugh at your comprehension of how really bad the premise was but the content was actually good. The theme of Youjo Senki is the idea of not relying on God and to stand on one's feet without prayers. Aside from the monster amount of info-dumping, it took time to actually map out the schematics and such systems. And the dialogue and monologues put Oregairu to shame.

>>143948524
Wasn't this Vertical's release anon?

If there's any publishing company worth to be supported, it's them, too bad they're quite slow at putting out releases.

Skip vol 1. It's a huge drag and you can infer all the important points from mentions in vol 2. All the worthwhile bits from vol1 are in the prologue, chapters 1, 2 and 6. The rest of it is pretty much them gushing over how Latina a cute.

>>143948220
>Uchi no musume is about an adventurer that becomes papa and dotes on his demon daughter just so much that you keep on throwing up sugar.
Less so as it goes on apparently. Vol 3's still in my backlog but pictures indicate it's not strictly a papa-daughter relationship.

My Death Flags show no sign of ending is notable because the MC gets reincarnated into a character whose mouth phrases all his words in a very arrogant way so it sounds like he's a total asshole but on the inside he's all japanese and shit.

>>143948402
Stop trying to bullshit your way out of this via bullshit philosophy combined with ignoring that he's been cheating everyone involved in gambling in the series.
He had cheating dice because he's been cheating everyone constantly. He didn't plan to specifically cheat the hero so much as he had widespread systems of cheating in place already to use.

>>143948651
You think this ends anon? No. This doesn't end. There will be a day soon when you run out of manga and your backlog of anime is too daunting, and you will return.

When I mean a hero's journey, I mean the story medium that is used for the fall and development of a main character. Something that Death March cannot seem to have.
> Good story
Ha! I laugh at this. Not even a good story. Even Re:Zero is better and that actually bothers with worldbuilding, interesting parallels, a hero's journey, character development, and characters that don't revolve around the protagonist.

>>143948634
Why not both?

Also, I don't think anyone is translating Progressive except for Yen Press.

I wish they would pick up the 4koma already.

>>143948869
It's him outright creating a system to cheat anyone that plays out of their money. The slot machines are rigged to lose more than stated and occasionally hit a jackpot to trick people into thinking they have a chance.
It is literal cheating in place to defraud people of their money in what they think is a fair game.

>>143948619
I am defending it. Anyone can see the premise is ridiculous but would be attracted to read it for shits and giggles. The content was greater than I believed.

>>143948112
>World of Cultivation

I'm dreading the later parts which everyone seems to unanimously shit upon. Apparently it has an ending more rushed than Coiling Dragon.

>>143948800
>He had cheating dice because he's been cheating everyone constantly.
No, he says he's saving it for special occasions. While it's possible he's used it there isn't any indication of this in the narrative.

>The slot machines are rigged to lose more than stated and occasionally hit a jackpot to trick people into thinking they have a chance.
No, the slot machines, like just about all slot machines, are setup to favor the house.

The very serious elements of racism and relationship of building a family is what creates a greater value within the story more than what was given than in Death March. I would raise this higher than Death March.

>>143948932

I went to read this but the faggot translators skipped shit because there's an anime.
That's a good indication of, if not a bad series, a shit fanbase.

>>143948953
/a/non, that's exactly how slot machines work irl. your local gaming regulatory body dictates how much money (in %, from a small profit of 4% to as much as 30% of the money put into it) the machine takes from the player(s) over the course of thousands of games.

>>143949159
The only thing bad I can say about this series so far is that it drags a little bit. I'm really hoping it doesn't go all Usagi Drop though. I actually didn't mind it with Rin and Daikichi, but the little horned girl is daughter only material.

>>143948953
>The slot machines are rigged to lose more than stated and occasionally hit a jackpot to trick people into thinking they have a chance.
uh, this is basically how real slot machines work, along the lottery and any other form of gambling. there's a portion of people who play for the thrill knowing that it's a net loss, but some casinos bank on people thinking they have a chance.

What are some translated LN with female MCs? What about LNs with good worldbuilding that isn't isekai?

>>143949159
what is this from?

>>143949177
>>143949240

The difference is that it's public here while in there the stated odds are incorrect.
The MC even considers it fraud. Why can't you?

>>143949140
I don't understand this argument.

One side is saying that the LN character is sort of a lying dick who is willing to kill people for "money" basically... and the other is saying he is morally fine?

I mean, morals are relative in this situation. He's not a human anymore since his life is linked to the dungeon core. Humans are literally food for him.

Why is it a problem if he lies or kills humans in this situation?

How come newfag mod only deletes LN threads if they're overlord ones?

The fanbase is rather bad, there's shit-flinging between the fans and shitposters. The fanbase barely has any comprehension of the story and depth with exception for a very few. The contrarians try to argue it is shit by calling the protagonist shit or the old excuse of not being drawn to the characters (actually, they say they have seen them before but really the series has much more going for it than meets the eye). In other words, majority of both sides cannot even bother creating a simple sentence and list of defense or proper criticisms. The story doesn't need an rpg-setting to world-build and hardly infodumps that we only see what the mc can see.

I don't remember there being stated odds, are you sure you read it correctly?
I even went back and checked again, but I didn't see anything about that. Certainly, Keima did wonder to himself if he was going to far in slanting his little casino towards the house was cheating, but I think the slot machines and the day to day operations are legit. He's just setup for cheating if he feels like it.

He really only seems to fuck over people he doesn't like. He's pretty even with everyone else to the point where doesn't want to charge too much for his kids meals.

It's not. Pointing out an aspect of the MC's character that can be construed as negative does not mean accepting that fact is a problem or that I am stating a negative opinion.

If I said (for example) Ainz has committed mass genocide and has rape farms after some fool says Nazarick never hurt anyone innocent it does not mean that I am going on some rant against Ainz. It means I have a clear difference of opinion.
Any personal feelings about the MC is an entirely separate thing.

>>143949333
He's good to his friends and neighbors, he shits on his enemies, and he's indifferent towards everyone else. I'd say he's pretty much lawful neutral. He's not a saint, but he's not a bad guy, and he has a set of rules that he follows when making moral decisions.

>>143949470
