This socially inept spider girl discovered one weird trick to dealing with awkward conversations! Demon Lords hate it!

Oh my! A bunch of new Kumo-chan? I really kind of checked out during all the Shun chapters initially, but at this point it's really looking like I should read over them again, but it's going to be rough returning to the older turb0 translations. Please save me Blastron-sensei!

Thanks for never shutting up about OSO, BlitzBlast. Started reading and it's just the right in-between of an MMO and laid-back LN.

If you like chill laid back LN/WN, then Ryouriban is for you. To summarize it in one sentence, it's conquering the world inadvertently through amazing cooking. It's pretty amusing to read since it cycles between the MC, the affected person, and later on the antagonist/3rd party.

I notice lot of LN do that "Jump in the affected party's head for a chapter" thing, it's almost always the best part or worst part, depending on how good they are at making me care about the character.

I'm not sure this is the right thread or not I remember reading a novel about 2 adopted kids. One is all jacked up and missing an arm and leg while the other one has a terminal illness and goes off to the big city with to return a marriage certificate. Turns out the girl in the certificate is super famous (a phoenix?) or something so the family freaks out and tries to buy/scare him off before he can explain.

Looks like the first real chapter of kumo desu ga manga is out and translated and full of extremely good spider faces and poses. http://bato.to/reader#79d9eb5c29cbb9d3 (Chapter 0, if you missed it: http://bato.to/reader#5c91dc9c8713ab0a)

Oh my god she's adorable.  I love how generic - spider she looks, color aside. The artist is doing such good work making her emote, it's hilarious.

Can't really blame them for making her design cute and stylized, because no one wants to see the adventures of a realistic spider.

I've been reading the Grimgar LN translation, and it's the first LN I've been able to enjoy at all. I'm into the second volume now, and it's still been very believable and avoided most of the terrible tropes I generally associate with the "people transported into fantasy/rpg setting" genre; the MC is still a completely regular person without any outstanding talents and there's not even a hint of any harem bullshit (there's only one character that seems remotely interested in the MC, and even that isn't clear). I love how it looks like Mary, the super attractive priest lady, seems interested in Moguzo. The fight scenes are also very well written and easy to understand. I was hesitant to try reading the LN after watching the first couple episodes of the show (since I thought it wouldn't do the action scenes justice), but it's been a very easy read so far. I definitely recommend it. edit: Jesus, there are all these comments below a bunch of the chapters where people are upset that the MC isn't becoming a badass. I can see why those dumb tropes exist in the first place; apparently there's a high demand for that sort of wish-fulfillment stuff. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Feb 1, 2016 |

I went and checked up on Reincarnated as a Slime to see if it got any better, and no, it really didn't. Just totally lost focus.

Kumoko is going from strength to strength with the LN getting a commercial with an official voice of the sorts for Kumoko in the form of Sumire Uesaka.

I wonder what the Kobold mines in Grimgar are supposed to look like. They mention there being farms* and forges and stuff inside, but I'm having trouble imagining how they could navigate a cave with all this poo poo in it and fight things without attracting the attention of countless other Kobolds. They make it clear that getting swamped with Kobolds is definitely a risk, but it seems like it would be pretty much unavoidable. Their previous "hunting grounds" made sense, because it was this wide open area with lots of hiding places and only scattered goblins, but these mines are apparently a fully functioning Kobold city enclosed within caves. For the time being, I'm just imagining that these caves must be loving massive and have giant multiple square mile chambers. *Speaking of this, I like how the Kobolds seem to be just entirely minding their own business in their Kobold cave city, while human parties come inside and randomly murder them and steal their possessions. At least the goblins posed some hypothetical threat since they were encamped out in the open near the city. The book basically acknowledges this, pointing out that they don't have any way to survive other than repeated mass murder, though I don't find that particularly convincing given the fact that there's always the option of just living off the land and eating wild animals. ConanThe3rd posted:Kumoko is going from strength to strength with the LN getting a commercial with an official voice of the sorts for Kumoko in the form of Sumire Uesaka. Regarding the the LN for this, I tried to start it and found it kind of hard to read. Is the whole thing just a stream of consciousness from her perspective? I can more or less figure out what was going on, but the format was a little confusing (and the kind of lovely translation didn't help).

They also let her read a radio drama version of the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCW-WBJM48M e: it's more like an extended commercial, with her reading different scenes from the first novel.

Living off the land and eating wild animals is actually very difficult! This is especially true for kids with no equipment or training. Then you have the hostile demihumans roaming around, who are also trying to hunt and have every reason to attack humans on sight.

During big fight scenes it gets a lot more concrete, but 95% of it is vaguely-coherent rambling. I don't know if there's a translation of the LN, but if you're reading the translated WN and are finding it hard to understand I'd like to take the opportunity to shamelessly plug my own, marginally less lovely translation effort at http://blastron01.tumblr.com/tagged/kumoko/chrono

Kumoko is a miserable failure as a person and an incredible success as a magic murder spider. That's the basic premise, and if you don't find it amusing this probably isn't your cup of tea.

It is adorable. Kumuko spider story is adorable too. They both have a similar feel of a flustered and slightly incompetent person succeeding.

Good lord, Novel Updates, while great and eminently usable, also shows me just how deep the rabbithole goes. Apparently there is a WN going by 'When I Summoned a Succubus Slave, My Sister Is the One That Appeared' being translated.

I think the one bright part of all this is that reading fetishized slavery wn's makes the sort of people who would read those even less likely to ever be in a relationship than they were before. poo poo's gross, no question, but it isn't like these awful nerds have the ability to act on any of it. Like that swedish guy whose incompetent attempt at creating a sex dungeon would have been hilarious if not for how he really did briefly abduct and rape a woman? That is far further than any of them would get even if they were inclined to realize their slavery fetishes.
