He didn't even notice the options menu until recently, then just glanced over it. Dude probably has auto-loot and just doesn't use it. Dude really ought to spend some time trying to find an FAQ or a wiki. In fact that might make for a pretty funny chapter. Arsonist Daria fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Mar 7, 2014 |

I'd expect his mom to be up to something before these guys.

Maybe once he's crafted a thing he could use Chunbumoon mana manipulation skills to imbue it with magic and then raise his Enchantment skill! I think that'd be a really good use for a high INT character like he's shaping out to be. I would loving love to see Jee-Han grind gear crafting. He'd keep stabbing his fingers trying to sew and get a pity skill.

It's a good weapon for a hybrid (with that mana boost) and he has that blunt weapon skill from earlier. He was told to train up martial arts more. The CC skill is nice but it'd still be smart to dump some extra points into strength.

But their behavior has gone unchanged to our knowledge and there's plenty of other possibilities as to how a mystical black market figured out who he is (I mean, it is a mystical black market.)

What bugs me most about bad scanlations is the sound effects being left in the native alphabet. I get why they don't, because on the surface it seems like you're spending more time on the typesetting for something most people won't care about. The thing is, when they're just left as is, it really draws your attention to them and you probably aren't going to even begin to understand what the sound is supposed to be. It drags me out of every chapter, every scene, every panel. It totally sucks. It's a smaller thing, but it's harder to overlook. Also the other group doesn't even translate the title, and that poo poo's on the same white background every week. Come on, guys, just spend the time on the logo and you're pretty much done with it forever. Just loving steal it from BAP if you really don't want to make your own. To me, and most readers who want a translation, Korean looks like a loving inkblot. If that was all I had to go with, I wouldn't even know this manhwa's name!

Clarste posted:I'm not sure if the goal of translation is to make you completely forget that this was ever in another language. Maybe it is sometimes, but not always. Personally I try to translate sound effects when it's relevant, but most of the time it's like the sound of footsteps or something. If you see the guy running in the panel, then you don't need the SFX translated. You know what a footstep sounds like, probably better than "tap tap" or whatever would convey. To me, it's really one of those things I don't notice until it's impossible not to. It's not like I'm paying much attention to sound effects in English comics, but when I can't read sound effects at all, it's like I've got tinnitus. Footsteps and poo poo are certainly minor, but even a tiny note on the important sound effects would be worth the effort. Most books have plenty of margin to work with. I guess it doesn't honestly bother me that much, since it's not like I've ever quit reading something because of it. It makes everything feel flat, though.

Silento posted:I'm not sure how to handle puns--like Zoro's attacks in One Piece, for instance. It's not too hard to translate the odd pun here or there, but when you have a dozen of them all sharing a theme, English, as a langauge, is not equipped for that. The thing about puns is, even if you translate them perfectly, they're still puns.

I'm actually getting really loving annoyed with Jee Han's inability to put his points in something other than INT at this point. I can see avoiding stats totally out of a magic character's wheelhouse but he doesn't think WIS is going to be useful to his build? I thought he was supposed to be good at this poo poo.

I'm gonna be loving furious if he's been bumbling around in the dark afraid to experiment with this power beyond finding one thing that he can work with if he finds a loving respec potion or something. Though if they make a serious plot point about real life not being an MMO, even with gamer powers, that'll be pretty cool and redeem this. I get that Korean MMOs can be super rough, but he's the only one that can make an optimized build anyway so I don't think he needs to worry about min-maxing.

Fabricated posted:I dunno why you wouldn't bump your fundamental physical stats until you were at least in Jason Bourne status. Doesn't seem like it'd be that difficult or require that many points to get your agility/strength/constitution up to where you're close to the pinnacle of non-magical human fitness. I was hoping he'd take a broader approach to all this after those dudes almost killed him or enslaved him, which is why I am so frustrated he decided to double down on magic. I mean sure, spec in magic, that's pretty loving awesome, but everyone's been telling you and your experiences have been showing you that you need to learn to handle yourself. Why wrack your brain trying to come up with evasion magic or whatever when you can just learn to dodge?

I hope that, once he learns this super cool technique, he makes an effort to establish a decent baseline of stats. I mean, it's not like he has a ton of goals at the moment besides just being really great at killing illusions. He wants to defend himself if he's going to be a target, and he wants to help Blues Brother's daughter, but it's not like, you know, something in his quest log. He could be extraordinary at everything, relative to normal people, by spending a few hours grinding.

My biggest reason why he might want to boost his less useful stats up to a fair level would be, outside of being the most popular dude in school, the potential passives he could get and also that he may find a way to pull out some insane buffs with better knowledge of the stats he's ignoring. Sure, having the strength and agility of a dude who puts effort into hitting the gym every day may not help in the Abyss, but if it gives him an idea to double that with his magic, dude could hold his own against anyone.

This summon thing isn't any different from his other magic or whatever in the sense of how "real" it is. None of it comes from his gamer ability; it already exists in this world. Jee-Han's ability doesn't allow him to use any unique techniques so much as it allows him to do anything within the restriction of his stats (with some exceptions). The pact might have a bigger impact than he expects, but I don't think it'll be affected any differently by his ability. If anything, it might result in some extra passives.

Better yet, his addiction changes his ability from Korean MMO Gamer to Pokemon Gamer. Several arcs will be dedicated to EV training.

ImpactVector posted:I still can't believe he completely gave up on the "dodge skill" thing after just trying it in a vacuum. It seems like something that'd only work if you're dodging an actual attack. Maybe if one of his martial arts buddies taught him how to do a dodge roll he could get a few invulnerability frames out of the deal. I'm still hoping they'll bring other types of games into this ability. Broken-rear end RPG mechanics are cool and all, but frankly I'd rather live my life like a character from a Platinum game.

Left posted:If he uses his Life Drain in such a way that it eats mana instead, the only way to kill him would be to have special enchants on items or something... It'd be really cool if the series eventually expands into a bunch of PvP matches where Jee-Han makes up a ton of bullshit abilities on the fly that has huge risk/reward potential. You know he'd be able to exploit poo poo like blood magic or Shadowform, not to mention huge attacks that take out most of his mana bar. Then he'd have to turn off abilities for a while to get back MP quickly. What I'm saying is this manwha has a huge amount of potential for dynamic fights but this all seems to be grinding right now. Guess it kinda makes sense, given that he is an MMO character, but I hope that's the direction it goes.

NowonSA posted:Assuming he picks up his European "take damage from mp" skill, as it stands right now he's most vulnerable to status effects. I believe they'd go right through his shield, and he can't do much if he's silenced/blinded/poisoned (poisoning would likely bypass mp shield)/ put to sleep. Of course, he can still get beat by plenty of high-level Abyss people, who could just punch down his shield way faster than he can regenerate it or drink potions to refill it, while taking negligible damage from Jee-Han's attacks. Can't he heal most status effects, besides those applied by high level demons or something?
