The wanted poster citing the specific articles of the geneva convention that potion girl violated is very funny in a �oh those are literal war crimes� way

this is a perfectly standard isekai story except the guy's dick is hanging out the whole time.

Y�know for this premise, i�m surprised at the lack of dick that they feature in the story. I was thinking �grand blue drinking parties� amount of prominent male nudity, and it kinda left me hanging.

I barely remember this but doesn�t it go hilariously wrong because the MCs trade the book to some blacksmiths by showing them the steel alloy chapters and much later the blacksmiths show up with cannons and the MCs are like �ohh gently caress gunpowder was in there also huh�

I started burning through it this morning and there are only like a dozen side chapters up to 75 or so (beginning of middle labyrinth). If you heavily skim the spider chapters just to keep an idea of where she is in relation to Shun then its pretty fast. Like others said, the main point seems to be illustrating how easy life is for a human, but also how spider girl is more powerful having lived a life away from �common sense�, for example the apprasial skill. The side chapters are nice break from the constant monolouge, its a shame to hear they get silly later on

I'm a Middle-Aged Man Who Got My Adventurer License Revoked brought in one of the mc's old party members and I like him pretty well -- the way he was depicted was more rear end in a top hat-ish and he's definitely an rear end in a top hat but more like a blunt/frank guy who doesn't have a filter which could be fun. I'm getting the feeling the old hero party is just going to re-form around Douglas now.

If you havent checked this out, middle aged dadventurer brings fantasy epstein to justice pretty early (unless there is a suicide off-screen of course)

new series Frontier Owner. Dias, hero of a twenty year war, is given a vast amount of land as a fiefdom. Problem being the land is just grass as far as the eye can see with no inhabitants and Dias is as dumb as a bag of hammers. When an Oni, whose tribe secretly lives on the grassland, finds him and brings him back to their village they decide to help him because Dias is a trustful honest idiot.

Quote from a few months ago, but this has gotten some more chapters and I think it�s still been pretty wholesome despite some completely justified reservations from other posters. Slavery gets brought up and is addressed in the appropriate way, which is a big point for me in this genre, and it looks like we�ll be doing a positive race relations bit next. I�m looking forward to some evil assholes attacking this guy and getting wiped out by solidarity.

I dunno give it another look, if people don�t want it posted here, I�ll won�t again.

To genocide or be genocided, that is the question

I think that there is enough justification for the MC�s actions, but then they have to squeeze in a little more with new characters introduced holding a sign that says �boy I�m really evil, sure is okay to kill me in a dozen chapters�. It�d be better to keep it morally grey with a veneer of guilt over not being able to find a more peaceful solution, but that�s too complicated, just make the opponents bastards

I dont think killing a standing army that is ready to attack you counts as genocide.

Yeah but they don�t need to just attack and rout the army, they need to kill a specific number to gain power. I don�t recall how big the army is but it seems that they are doing wholescale slaughter of troops who are there on the whim of assholes in command (who are not getting murdered)

I�ll admit it was poor word choice because it�s not technically genocide. Choose your own word for a massacre and then come back to me

There�s Way of the House Husband if by becomes a woman you mean MC assumes the traditional female gender role, and by isekai you mean the MC gains a new life in the same world. So uhh not really in line. But it does have a Yakuza, and it is extremely good!

Man, Leviatan picks some good stories to scanlate. Just recently marathon'd MookHyang - Dark Lady, and it's lots of fun. Basic premise is Super OP Wuxia MC is banished to the isekai world of D&D, and is now trying to find a way back. Throw in some political intrigue and Magical Golem Gundams and you have a pretty interesting story.

Thanks for pointing this one out, it has been great so far. The wuxia OP MC also loses their super power just after they fully demonstrate to everyone how good they are, which is refreshing to how isekai stuff usually goes.

Ugh, latest Sorcerer King update really pisses me off. Yeah, I understand the whole "must deal form position of power" thing, but by this point it's going deep into FYGM territory. If this poo poo continues any further I'm going to have to drop it.

It makes sense, even with a world-scale crisis on hand, if the nations of the world felt that there was a bigger power they could not control rising up, they would immediately squash it even if it meant not dealing with the crisis.

Not that I agree with it, but I don�t think it�s purely FYGM on the MC�s part. He just wants to succeed, and acting now would 100% be detrimental to his goals.

E: if it was purely FYGM, he wouldn�t even think about leaking rumors he could deal with it. His assisstant brings up the FYGM viewpoint and he rejects it

There's one where the villains are trying to do this to the MC on purpose in the story (Kenja no Mago) and it's about the only reason I'm still following it. I don't think the goal is to raise a middle finger to that notion but it's a nice coincidence.

I think I gave up on that one when that plan, which was really good (holy poo poo competent villians with understandable motivations are so great), utterly failed for no good reason. Especially when the plot moving forward from the failure state seemed so much more interesting. That got an anime too right? Ugh

While not an isekai in the traditional sense, it does feature an OP protag who has no idea how to interact with people and discovering how the world she lives in works (because she grew up under a rock/death god) so it still counts imo

Yeah the first 10 chapters of that were kinda spinning its wheels, but the last 3 really opened up the story and it seems way more interesting to follow now.

Compendium posted:

It kind of bothered me at first too, but I'm getting into its rhythm. I don't think it's necessary in these kinds of stories to have immediate wins as it were and I'd argue that part of the conflict, externally is gaining back agency (I mean I hope it is) as a maligned fictional female character who was designed to get screwed over by the narrative which blames her downfall entirely on herself and not the male love interests who don't really get punished by the way they treat her.

Bakarina and a lot of villainness reincarnation stories sometimes start off being reborn in childhood so they have an advantage of being able to change perceptions about themselves early on in order to change their bad ending. Melissa doesn't have that luxury and is working more at the starting point of the story she's in. So, in that way, I can believe why there's a slow pace; the other characters have known her for years as a bratty, pitiful and spiteful girl with a major temper issues. Of course they'd hang onto the idea that she's just being the same and not take her seriously even though she's actively pushing against them to show that they're not innocent in how they've treated her back.

As much as I love Bakarina, there are times where the adoration she gets doesn't feel earned even though she does do things that cause everyone to fall in love with her. That might be with just a few certain characters, not necessarily all of them. It's supposed to be a fluffy romcom at heart after all.

I feel the same about Bakarina new game plus, it feels like she didnt struggle to win people over despite the shorter timelime and more difficulty she should have had. The first one was great, but the second just feels like a retread
