HouseofGlass posted:There's lots of isekais and whatever that try to subvert typical fantasy tropes, but Kui just takes these old-school ideas and really thinks them through and how they would actually work within the confines of this world. The whole Mimic part is still one of my favorites in the series and it's such a cool way of incorporating them into the world. I love this part of it so much. The author does a great job making it a real world that makes sense with its own logic. In my life of playing tabletop RPGs, it's probably the best take on "Gygaxian Naturalism" I've ever seen. It's really refreshing and fun, and does a good job of making things seem magical and full of wonderment/terror.

One thing I really like about this is I can imagine other stories taking place in this world that have nothing to do with the main cast of characters. And it's conveyed without lengthy flashback arcs or going on chapters-long side stories with the main cast nowhere in sight. The world is communicated to us in little pieces as it makes sense for the characters to mention it, rather than some plot-dump character. I think a big part of the success of that is due to Senshi's character. He's clearly been down there a while. So rather than having one audience-insert ignoramus like isekai do, we have Senshi teaching the rest of the party (and thereby us) about dungeon life, while he in turn is educated about the surface world. Boy howdy do I like this comic.

Lt. Lizard posted:Wait, I know that there were theories about it, but isn't Thistle calling Marcille half-elf the first time her lineage was brought up in the manga? Squidster posted:Is this the first confirmation that Marcille isn't a full elf? I thought that was confirmed in the nightmare chapter where we learn her desire for learning ancient magic comes from her father's comparatively early death.

Squidster posted:It looks like the guidebook is getting translated as well! Oh drat that is excellent. I wish more comics/shows would share their bibles. Awesome of everydayheroes to do the scanlation too. Between this and Kamuy they got good taste.

It's funny that all this nightmare and the hell that is sure to follow is happening pretty much entirely because the Canaries wanted to stop Laius from being able to freely eat monsters in the dungeon at all costs.

no issue with people being salty about a character thats intentionally introduced as non-friendly to the pov characters. part of the fun is the story convincing the audience to like them imo
