I'd been holding off on reading When I was going out from my house to stop being a Hiki-NEET after 10 years, I was transported to another world because I was expecting awkward loli scenes, but someone told me it had none, so I read it. It is legit hilarious. A shutin nerd ends up in a fantasy world, with the twist that his house and dog also come with him, along with internet and electricity. He then posts the best E/N thread ever.

It has that exact mix you have on something like 4chan (More /tg/ than other boards, but still) where a given topic will have a couple people discussing it earnestly, a bunch of people posting dumbass comments (Ai'm for the top of the world with JUDO!), and the people whining about their fetishes endlessly.

With the worry about potential creepy loli scenes removed, this is enjoyable. It's a bit like Hero Union BBS but with more trolls.

I'm glad you mentioned Hero Union BBS because I'm reading it now and it's the most fun I've had with the concept of summoned heroes since... I wanna say ever.

Is it kosher to talk about manga adaptations of LNs? Because Re-Monster is loving terrible. I stopped a while ago because it looked interesting in the beginning, but then it started to feel like some Mary-Sue bs on a scale Kirito could only hope to dream of. Then I read the chapter today and it's basically "I gave some elves some aphrodisiacs and now they're totally wet for me, I'm also loving amazing". Is the actual LN that bad? I can't imagine it'd be worse.

It gets worse: The translators of the Re-Monster light novel decided to insert their fan fiction sex scenes into the translation. On top of an already terrible light novel.

Pretty sure the terrible rape portions aren't made up though. Seriously, when rape is justified as OK, something needs to be done about the whole thing. Like killing it with fire. Same thing goes for the "aww yeah loli is sexy" poo poo that seems to be in quite a few LN/WN as well. Underage sex is still statutory rape; even if you argue that the prepubescent girl is an ancient horror in disguise, that's still implying that sex with under-developed children is okay. jwang fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Oct 29, 2015 |

Double post, but I think I found something interesting on Novel Updates. A Realist's Kingdom Reform Chronicles is interesting in that it's a hero summoning story, but the hero doesn't get a combat boost. Instead, he becomes the ultimate administrator, and as a result creates a great empire. Definitely something different, and is very enjoyable so far.

I read a few chapters of ReMonster too and the first thing that came to mind (besides the usual boring perfect MC bullshit) is that everything is constantly explained with this meaningless video game jargon, as if half the script is just copied and pasted from WoW chatlogs. Is it like this in the LN too? Why do people enjoy reading this poo poo? It's like reading a transcript of an LP for a game that doesn't exist, only the player is extremely boring, playing on easy mode, and really likes rape for some reason. I don't understand what you could get out of this that you couldn't get out of spending a few hours watching Twitch livestreams.

True, she might have had a good reason. She also might have had a terrible, utterly banal reason. However, Kumoko will not actually explain anything to anyone and it has been a long time since we've had a chapter from her pov.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Jesus Christ what is she even doing? I'm guessing she's just protecting Kyouya from Kuro because she wants to recruit another over powered reincarnator into her posse. She conveniently allowed Sophia to finally participate in the monster hunts just as Kyouya was crossing the border heading her way. And it's not like Kumoko would care about him massacring a minor country considering she was ready to fly off the handle and go murder the whole world the moment D gave the order to fix the MA energy drain.

You're giving her too much credit. She forgot all about her excellent kids and where she left them, and by terrible luck Kuro stumbled upon them. The whole time-lapse in the dimension was because she also stored perishable goods in there, so letting time pass slower in the pocket dimension allowed it to stay fresh longer.

Nah, her only self-aware kids are in the labyrinth. She went back and picked up all of the freshly hatched ones after she became a god, and those are more like extensions of her will. Kumoko stores them in a pocket dimension unless she needs them.

I've really been enjoying the alchemical episode in ISSTH. It's good to see Meng Hao finally in his element as a scholar. I especially liked how despite being a genius at it he still has a lot to learn.

It shouldn't be THAT good that the MC there actually realise he was a little shite early on, but the genre sadly almost never has a self-aware MC so just having one semi-self-aware is enough to make it noticeable.

Additionally the series starts out by giving him a super powerful item that makes enemies butts explode. It's fairly well written and there are very few "I AM EVIL TO BE EVIL" enemies that tend to flood these stories. Plus he has a talking hat.

It is kind of strange how no one else seemed to have figured out that vexation is easy to deal with if you point him at someone else. Screwing people over is essentially what this setting is based on, so I expect that this will eventually blow up in Meng Hao's face.

I like how Meng Hao's solution to problems invariably boils down to "THROW LOTS OF MONEY AND/OR FLYING SWORDS AT IT". He's just brute-forcing his way to enlightenment and it's great.
