They're currently doing a Twelve Days of Christmas thing, so we might have as much as 12 chapters in the next 5 days. Or possibly nothing since they have 13 ongoing projects.

If I like one series a given translator is doing, I usually check out what else they are working on. This is absolutely never a good idea.

The author said he's slowing down to 1 chapter every sunday until the middle of January, then it's back to his regular pace of 1 per day. In other news, the LN is selling better than expected and gets a second print run. Tamba fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Dec 20, 2015 |

While Kumo may have not updated, My Disciple definitely has. Read more about Chinese internet memes and retarded pig teammates.

ISSTH 350, those dudes should really have figured out that flash step doesn't work when the other guy is spamming clones, it just makes you look really stupid. Edit: oh my god, that next chapter title

Q&A1 posted:Q, I think that this won't accepted generally, for a spider lover as me, I am concern about that there's little description of the MC's figure.  Seriously though I'm having a hard time imagining a character design for a spider that both remains expressive in a visual medium and actually looks right.

The next chapter of My Disciple will be GOLD when she realizes what's going with her current reincarnation. Also, this next arc ends on a much more serious note than the usual tone.

Finished up Volumes 4 and 5 of Spice and Wolf... I feel as though the anime made a mistake skipping 4 to get to 5. The fourth book was fantastic. Not only that, but to leave off where the Lenos arc ends always seemed kinda unsatisfying to me. "Let's not end our journey yet." THE END I know the point of the anime is to get you to want to buy the books but I don't think the way it ends accomplishes that. It just kinda stops. Also the fourth book's plot has a few tie backs to the first book, so thematically it would be more fitting for a finale. Oh well.

Still reading Honzuki no Gekokujou. While the details of the paper-making-process are probably accurate, the money system they have sure doesn't make any sense for a medieval world. So they have a currency they call "Rion", but that doesn't really matter, because everyone just says stuff like "3 small silver coins and 6 large copper coins" instead of referring to the currency. They have 7 different coins: The smallest one are small copper coins, which are worth 10 Rion for some reason. Then there are medium and large copper coins, small and large silver coins and small and large gold coins. Each one is worth 10 times as much as the previous one, so a medium copper coin is 100 and a large one is 1000 etc... And then they also have magical merchant guild cards that allow them to transfer funds between guild bank accounts by touching them together So basically fiat money while still using precious metal coins, I guess?

I think it makes sense, given the circumstances. Lowly commoners don't really learn to count, so they'll inevitably use the simpler "3 of this type, 2 of that one" system, while the more lofty echelons of society have access to education and magic items, letting them get more, uh, theoretical in their monetary exchange. I can't tell how far you've got, but the disconnect between top and bottom rungs is kind of a Thing in this series. I demand that you like it more.

The latest chapter of ISSTH is amazing. So many great characters don't just disappear into the ether like in other chinese web novels, but instead pop up in sensible fashions. It also helps that in most other Xianxia stories, most of them would have been dead for daring to question the superiority of the MC.

I only ever made it through the first volume of Spice & Wolf, because I thought it was some of the worst drivel ever, but it had more of a textbooky omniscient narrator regurgitating economic facts at the reader, while Honzuki gradually uncovers details about the world as Mein (sp?) climbs the social ladder and starts seeing things from a new perspective. This kind of "discovery exposition" appeals a lot more to me, and might be why I'm so fond of all these stupid reincarnation stories. IIRC, in Log Horizon, the protagonist basically starts out at the global level, so the economic zone of influence doesn't change all that much? Only vaguely remember it from the anime, though. Don't miss out on Kenkyo, btw.

I'm not too impressed with Spice & Wolf's grasp of economic matters myself to be honest. The first book's entire silver thing is a load of nonsensical waffle that only in the end makes sortof sense. Same with most of the other centerpiece story devices, like the pyrite futures trade. But I guess the books aren't about trading. They're about a guy who meets a god-girl and has adventures while travelling. Hardly any of the trading parts hold up to scrutiny, they're just there to create scenarios for the characters to overcome. It's a shame, though, because the books rely a lot on a sort of economic murder mystery, with an introduction of potential profit or a tricky problem, and an ending reveal of plans and double-crosses. That all falls into the water when the mystery doesn't really follow any logic.

It's sort of amazing how someone managed to create a genuinely hilarious character based around butt-rape in TYOOL 2015. Also am I the only one that read Lord Fifth's lines in Eric Cartman's voice?
