So sexy that in the novel after the anime shegot felt up and had the tip inserted by a random dude at the bar before being saved by the new tank. She was plastered at the time and had forgotten her staff but she stopped resisting him because of "muh drama" bullshit.

High tier, but she had sex with each of her team members behind their backs and ended up getting the group disbanded. She brags about it to Haruhiro even.
>>152128322
From 2nd LN“You have girls in your party, right? How many?”
“T-three,” Haruhiro gasped.
“You need to at least claim one. Of course, claiming all three would make you quite the alpha-male.”
“N-no, ma’am… that’s t-too…”
“That kind of drama between party members is too much of a hassle?” Master Barbara ventured.
“I-I… don’t know, ma’am. I don’t… h-have any experience with that…”
“Even if it’s a little bothersome, a bit of it is quite necessary. It makes me recall when I was like you are now… Going at it in secret with the party leader, while toying with our male mage at the same time, and while playing around with the leader from another party. Well, our party fell apart shortly after that and other things happened…”
“…M-Master Barbara… when you say ‘fell apart’… y-you mean you’re the one who broke it apart, r-right?”
“Ah, the springtime of youth. Don’t you feel it too?”
“It… s-sounds more like… crazy blind passion, ma’am,” Haruhiro said.
“Don’t say things like that,” Master Barbara chastised.
Haruhiro gasped, unable to take it anymore when she lifted up both her legs and wiggled her butt deeper into his midsection. But if he tried to twist around to throw her off, he didn’t know what she would do to him, so he had no choice but to remain motionless and take it.

Thats why there will be no second season, unless the director cuts that part out or lowers the intensity.

She was apparently a lot nicer before DEATH SPOTS bent her team over. Now with Haruhiro's group, she is 20% nice again and 80% bitch.
>>152129246
Apparently thats the only hymen haru gets to take
>>152129222
Like why does that part even exist. It serves no purpose except to maddeningly infuriate every demographic but NTR fans, and they'll be pissed it didn't go further so no one wins.
Plus its not good writing even.
>>152126862
Nice guess, you seem to have been right.
Thanks, m8.
>>152127868
>got felt up and had the tip inserted at the bar
He only pulls the jacket
Read the LN instead of listen to fake spoiler
>>152127868
Why does NTR exist. Fucking cucks and their shit fetish.
>>152129527
Mind posting the relevant scene?
>>152129677
The scene was in vol4 and was translated by nanodesu, I've read it there, sadly they never finished the vol. because the novel got licensed.
In pdf I've only 1-3
>>152129398
People eat up romance drama like hot cakes. Not saying its good writing, but it makes sense from a realistic standpoint. Mary is made out to be very beautiful. She also frequents bars due to "muh drama" from her old team. AfterMoguzo dies, her drama is renewed and she heavily drinks again. She got taken advantage of and has always been mentally weak so, shit was bound to happen.
>>152129527
>at the barIn the middle of the night, Mary meets this guy at the bar. She is plastered and refuses his advances. She leaves the bar but gets lost on her way home, the guy follows her. She trips and he saves her from falling. She refuses his advances again but she can't resist because her staff is missing and she is plastered as fuck. The most she can do is push his hand away as tries to feel her up.
She hits him and tries to run away, but she is plastered and he grabs her. He pulls her into a nearby abandoned alley and really starts groping her, she fights and throws in a good kick, punch and bites his arm but, it only pisses him off. He hits her and she loses consciousness for a few seconds.
In a daze, she contemplates whether she deserves this because she let another team member die. She can barely resist anymore as her arms are pinned down and the guy unzips his pants and pulls out his member. She feels something about to pierce her and is deeply disgusted, but then a voice is heard (new tank) and he throws the bar guy off her and gets a good punch in. The bar guy runs away and that is how the new tank and Mary meet each other.
I might have missed a few more details because its been a few months but that is generally what happened. I could post the scene although it would be a few pages.
>>152130006
Oh for fuck sake. I didn't even realise it got licensed. Is there anyone still doing the novels or are we fucked?
>>152130100
I read somewhere that a novel is being translated every 2 months. Think the first 2 are already released for some cheapish price.
>>152130034
Yeah right, ive read the LN and the last part it's your invention.
>>152129398
>but NTR fans
To be fair NTR isn't really appealing if it's not porn, but as the other anon said it's a good source of drama.
t. NTRfag
>>152130201
I've read it too. I'll find the part where it says she felt something piercing her right before she was saved by the new tank.
>>152130034
Don't worry your fake spoier will be revealed when the official translator wil do vol4, it will take a few month.
>>152129341
To be fair Haru's group is kind of shitty. I mean her zombie pal was out casting their wizard
>>152130190
Any idea on translation quality? Seems to be a new company distributing it.

Here is a strip:
持ちあげられた。地面に足がつかない。メリイは死にものぐるいで暴れた。でも、男は腕をゆるめない。どうするつもりなのか。男はメリイをどこかに運ぼうとしているようだ。暗くてよく見えないが、細い路地に入ろうとしている。大声で叫ぼうとしたら、手で口をふさがれた。メリイはとっさに男の手を噛んだ。男は「うつ・・・・!」と呻いて、メリイを突き倒す。メリイは腰を打って、それから後頭部をどこかにぶつけた。
「・・・・いった・・・・い・・・・・」
目の前がぐるぐるする。逃げないと。這い進もうとしたら、腕をつかまれて路地に引きずりこまれ、力ずくで仰向けにされた。組み敷かれて、また口をふさがれてしまった。
やられちゃうのかな。
こんな場所で、こんなやつに。
いやだ。ふざけないで。メリイは膝で男の股間を蹴りあげる。
「この・・・・!」
「はうっ―――・・・・く、くっそ! こいつ・・・・・!」
殴られた。顔を、拳で。一瞬、意識が飛んだ。
我に返ると、神官服を脱がされそうになっていた。
だめかもしれない、とメリイは思った。

>>152131425
>>152131486
How do you think he found out it was her first time?
The bar man already stripped her clothes off while she was dazed. She says so right here:
>殴られた。顔を、拳で。一瞬、意識が飛んだ。
>我に返ると、神官服を脱がされそうになっていた。
>My face was hit by his fist. For a moment, my consciousness flew away.
>When I regained my senses, it appears that my priest clothes were stripped off.
>>152131624
The priest clothes is the white coat that she have, not all her clothes.
>The man let out a brutish chuckle and tugged on Mary’s clothes. She
could hear the stitching rip apart
This is the part at the end where the man tried to rip her clothes, then she was saved.
>>152131725
How could her priest clothes torn off if he already stripped them off of her. Assuming that her priest clothes are the top layer (white), then would it be the black under armor in >>152125534 that was torn off?
>>152132031
Anon, read the damn chapter in english instead make assumption.

>>152132347
A fucking best.
>>152133487
At some point during a mission, Mary and Ranta get captured by a group of bandits led by an exceptionally good fighter Boss guy. Mary is pretty much numb and out of it, so Ranta does all the talking and manages to convince them not to rape her like they were planning to by volunteering to join them as a fighter. Boss guy thinks Ranta's got style and agrees to the deal. Later, Ranta manages to get Mary loose and she gets found by Haru, whom she tells that Ranta's betrayed them and joined the other team, omitting that he saved her from the rapetrain that had been coming for her. Haru goes to the camp and issues a challenge, and Boss guy tells Ranta to fight him. Ranta, thinking Haru's here to bust him out, goes into the fight calling out all his moves, making it easy for Haru to dodge or block them. Then, right before the perfect moment for the both of them to make their escape, Haru knifes Ranta in the back and abandons him there, calling him a traitor and that he knew what Ranta "did to Mary".
At any rate, instead of letting Ranta die, Boss guy gets him healed up and starts training him up, so Ranta's now a significantly better fighter and Death Knight than what he was before being captured, and he's starting to look towards leaving this bandit gang and getting some revenge, this time without calling out his attacks in advance and with a mind to murder a certain priest for her treachery after he saved her. I think that's where the most recent translation ended.
>>152133904
What the fuck? What is wrong with her? Why she wants to kill our boy Ranta?
was this show any good? i dropped it like 3 eps in.
tell me why i should watch it
>>152133904
Anon, I suggest you to reread vol 8 again
>>152134185
No, it's boring as shit and the characters are terrible. The only redeeming qualities are the ass and tiddies.
Watch it if you're braindead.
Are they weak because Renji rejected them, or did Renji reject them because they were weak?
>>152134096
Several reasons, one of which is religion. Ranta's deity Lord Skullhell is the direct opposition of the god of healers that Mary's a priestess of, so there's a duty angle there if they wanted to play that card despite there being a treaty that forbids open religious warfare among party members that all the class guilds signed. Plus, as is evident, Ranta makes it very hard to like him if you're not already inclined to like people like him, so she just doesn't fucking like him or want him around. She can't murder him herself, but she's not above using circumstances to do it for her and this would have gotten it done without causing friction in the party like if he had been wounded in a battle and she'd just refused to heal him and caused a riot. I'm sure we'll get a lengthy monologue as to why if that conversation ever happens.
>>152134214
>here comes the contrarian Mary apologist
I knew you'd show your dumb ass here eventually, Maryfag. Your whore priestess is a liar and a traitor and you can't even hide that shit. Fuck off until you learn literacy.
>>152134457
I'm not a Mary fag but i've read the novel.
Your summary is biased an inexact.I suggest you to read again.
Ranta and Haru have their fault, none of them is innocent, even Mary.
Im only here for yume's butt, stop posting shit
>>152133487
Here is the real summary of vol 8
https://gensakuchuu.wordpress.com/2016/03/24/hai-to-gensou-no-grimgar-8/
>>152133904
>Ranta's now a significantly better fighter and Death Knight than what he was before being captured, and he's starting to look towards leaving this bandit gang and getting some revenge, this time without calling out his attacks in advance and with a mind to murder a certain priest for her treachery after he saved her.
So instead of holding a grudge for the guy who knifed him in the back like all other cliche villains, he goes for the source of the problem?
Ranta might have just gone from worst character to best character in one volume.
>>152133904
>act like a hurrdurr entitled faggot the whole time
>keep begging for sex every five minutes
>make sure to mention at every turn how everybody else in the party is an inferior pleb and you hate them all

>doesn't expect to get backstabbed
Gee whiz batman maybe you should have tried to actually keep them on your side.
>>152133904
Ranta's fault really. If he hadn't been such a cunt the whole time, it wouldn't have been more believable to Haru that Ranta actually went full BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, than the more likely scenario of Merry being a agent provocateur.
>>152133904
Damn, what a cunt. I truly hope that slut gets what's coming to her. I always liked Ranta for some reason.
>>152133904
feels bad for ranta
>>152133904
Wow, this series is making me want to get into LNs.
I was hoping it would be lighthearted adventures with a few dark story arcs after watching the anime, but this sounds depressing.
Are you sure Mary didn't just misunderstand Ranta's intentions?
>>152135207
Ranta saved all their asses and Mary from getting a train run on by an entire bandit gang in volume 8. The master swordsman they had would have shit all over Haruhiro and the tank.
Even the literal retard of the group thinks they misunderstood Ranta
Wow, there's a lot more to Grimgar than in the anime isn't there?
>>152135771
He dueled some guy several levels above all of them to save her from getting raped. And then won his persuasion check to get admitted to the group, and then risked another persuasion check, after already being in the clear himself, for them not to rape her. All the while Mary is shitting on him in her PoV
Left, right or middle?

>>152136534
But because he's a Grade S fucknugget 95% of the time, people will presume he helped out in spite of himself not because of it, and isn't reliable.
>>152135972
Shihoru is the only one that shines more and more as the novels go on compared to the other 2 who seem to just keep getting worse and worse.
too bad that they didn't have this fellow in town.

Meanwhile JNC announces a license and two months later they finish the first volume, during such time Nanodesu might have managed to get maybe half a chapter out.
>>152140266
That's why I'm changing to bland chinese web novels. Those maniacal translators spit out 2 or 3 chapters a day for novels exceeding the 1000 chapter mark with pretty decent quality. There are usually more typos than grammatical errors, impressive.
>>152128917
>Hate sluts
She literally admit to being a slut in that spoiler.
how long will it take them to translate volume 4? heard it was licensed does that mean no ones translating it now?
>>152140380
the due doing Against the Gods has a full time job and manages to put out a daily release plus sponsored bonus chapters twice a week and even more over the weekends.
Too bad the novel became insufferable, it had such a nice start but I had to put it in a prolongued hiatus -- I can't stand authors that treat MC's like their special little thing that can't be allowed to suffer at all.
Upgrade Specialist is quite good (as in above the norm for chinese novels), but the translator isn't a machine as the previous, usually releasing every other day (and the chapters are generally a lot shorter than ATG's).
>>152140697
they dropped it midway. I don't know how far into the book they got.
>>152140721
Isn't there more than one translator for ATG?
>>152138275
>I don't want to spoonfeed,
Christ the mentality here is so retarded.

>>152140919
Yes, 7 people, but from what I understand alyshu does most of the heavy lifting.
On the other hand, nanodesu has a 30 people team, 27 fulltime cosplayers and 9 dedicated traps to release one sentence per month.
I've been waiting to marathon their Vermillion subs, I read up to chapter 10 quite more than one year ago and I just went to check and they're still at chapter 15...
>>152141239
actually, it's chapter 12-2.
seriously, they should just quit.
>>152140766
dam welp i guess ill skip till the ppl who license it get to vol 8.
Who do they replace Mogzo with? Also does anyone else come along with their team?
>>152141858LN 3 introduces Haruhiro's childhood friend he had a crush on for years, turns out she liked him too but they never confessed. They meet again in Grimgar, both as fellow thieves and they exchange their thief names; they don't know each other but they strangely feel for each other (they lost their memories).
Haruhiro's new tank is from her party; he also hits on Haruhiro's childhood friend although she brushes him off. His whole team gets killed in the last fight in the novel. The new tank couldn't protect Haruhiro's childhood friend and he resents him for that.
>>152140721
Its funny after reading a bunch of different Chinese Webnovels I can judge quality pretty quickly. The bad ones seem to follow the formula of "MC has problem, solves it by being impulsive cunt, proceeds to make larger problem. DBZ power-ups and repeat."
Do you have any other recommendations than Upgrade Specialist? Rebirth of Thief is one of the other one's I've liked, and Coiling Dragon was decent.
Remember me?Seriously I don't remember the name of what I was in
Why does this ln become so dark?
The anime made it seem so comfy.
>>152133904
So the show finally gets interesting? I dropped it on ep 11 because I just couldn't be fucked for ep 12.
Reading this now gives me hope.
What happens to everyone else that isnt Ranta or Mary?
>>152143957
The show never gets that far. It only covers two volumes out of eight.
>>152134403
>that conversation happens
I'd rather he just knife her. That sounds like a perfectly tenable conclusion. Have it looks like there will be diplomacy but then:
>"Ah" she paused, 'the reason I-"
>Ranta had not intention of talking despite calling the meeting
>drawing his blade cleanly from its holstered position in an arc its tip bit through her
>unprepared the party recoiled as Mary's legs flaged leaving her increasingly red robes to pool around her as she fell backwards onto the cobbletones
>Haruhiro knew now that the meeting was a mistake. Ranta hadn't changed at all
>As shock set into the other party members he drew his weapons close to his chest defensively looking for an opening in Ranta's defenses
>Their rematch had begun
>>152119801
My eyes have well and truly been opened to the magic of underbutt recently. Where has this been all my life?
>>152135924
How nice of you to forget Ranta spurged out first during said fight with Haru, some persuasion check since he acted like the retard he typically does since he treats the party like 'you're my friends right?, so I can behave like a dumb ass when dealing with you guys'.

Because they live in a hellworld where monsters eat people and the dead get up and start walking around if they're not purified and burned thanks to an evil guy's curse, and when they stop being local hire national guard and start being actual adventurers, shit gets real.
Yume's accent makes my dick go doki doki

Who could forget the ranger who wouldn't actually hunt or even use a bow?
Huh suprising reading this when it seemed like the anine was starting to ship Yume and Ranta a little.
The mc and Yumes scene in the rain was pretty godlike and I'm sad they chose a different route anyway.
Why didn't she get a gun if she can't use a bow? Hunters these days use guns. Isekai protagonists make guns all the time.
>>152119801
I sure do. How can I forget dat ass?

Are there even guns present in the Grimgar world? Not to mention that they started off completely broke and could barely afford anything and I imagine a gun would be a luxury item.

Shameless shilling here, but if you care about this series at all buy the LN from Kindle or Kobo or iBooks or something, because supporting J-novel Club is the only way you'll see anything past V4 translated.
As to why J-Novel Club deserves shekels where Yen Press doesn't, this was the stance of the CEO on licensing Rokujouma from HK Bunko, their main partner alongside Overlap Bunko:
>We definitely CAN license it, but I don't want to pull that trigger until I'm confident we can support the series all the way. In this case I'll be honest and say that the fan translation being so up-to-date is an issue with licensing it. I can easily see it gaining more negative press for us than positive, since even in the best case scenario it would take us years to catch up.
>The way I look at it is that there are 100s of great light novels that haven't been translated (legally or illegally) at all, so why focus first on one that has?
So just for not being a massive translation sniping faggot like YP are, you should pay for their shit instead of pirating it just so they can stay afloat and competitive against predatory assholes like YP. It's only a few dollars.

If the only product provided was $5 per ebook volume download, then I'd buy it. But if there is going to eventually be a version available for $0.00 (free) per download, then I will wait for that to become available at $0.00 just like everyone else.
>>152156925
That's a good stance, but why can't they just use the fan translation after going over it with a fine tooth comb and making corrections? If it's a legal problem why not buy the translations?

Do you know what that legally means? There are serious very expensive issues at stake. Anyone with a TL;DR or LOL tinfoil hat attitude at the reins could cause a lot of trouble for a company's IP rights.
Use of pirated material without formal agreement would mean they acknowledged the existence of the illegal copyright violation. It would mean they publicly chose to not prosecute. That can be cited in any future piracy defense about squatter's rights which the Berne Convention does cover. Furthermore, the USA copyright law does require a copyright holder or patent holder to at least make a good faith effort to protect their IP, copyright, or trademark, otherwise, squatter's rights can be awarded.
For example, Ragnarok Online (RO) is made by Gravity of Korea (although owned by Gung Ho of Japan). The RO software server and client long ago used some open copyright code whose terms required public access. Those lazy (or theftlike) korean programmers got caught and doomed the product to remain open. That is why fan-made servers and fan-made clients openly advertised and paraded themselves right under gravity's nose and could not be prosecuted. As long as they didn't charge, the original terms of the code Gravity stole from the public copyright remain satisfied. So, with that example, you can see why an official copyright holder doesn't want to use any pirated material in case of a rights dilution lawsuit.

I'm glad they have a decent head on their shoulders. I'd feel sorry for the company that picks up Rokujouma considering it's already 19 full volumes deep fully translated. It would take so long to reach past that point and even then it's not exactly hard to find a pdf or epub with those 19 volumes floating around. It just seems like it'd be a huge loss compared to the profits gained with translating something that is only a few volumes in or not translated at all.

I remember even better things about you than your booty, Yumei.

There's been no evidence of gunpowder or firearms existing in their world, and none of the travelers seem to remember them.

I may not approve of his personality entirely, but so far I've enjoyed what he's brought to the story overall.

Ranta is a thinking man. When he wants to be.

It's a very under-appreciate spot, especially since you can stimulate 4 other points or 5 if you're flexible.

I'd go all tumblr on you for objectifying women by their physical attributes only, but since I can't actually think of any other use for Yume apart from being a slammin' ass attached to a worthless character, I'll let it go.
