The translation is in fact extremely poor.

I get that they're not supposed to be super threatening but I'm 90 chapters in and there's so little tension. We keep getting told the big bad is such an awful person and whatnot, but he hasn't even done all that much. He killed a bunch of nonames off-screen, and did attack Number Two but even then #2 just healed right up. I don't want the character to be killed off but it just felt lacking. The translations are quite poor which doesn't help. I'm still planning to power through to reach the current pages, but I really don't feel like it's got the same draw that other manhwa's have where it leaves me dying to know what happens next.

I get that they're not supposed to be super threatening but I'm 90 chapters in and there's so little tension. You haven't really met the villain yet. You've met some crazy people who are violent. The actual main villain is much, much more competent and much, much scarier. If you are thinking of checking out anyway, here's a spoiler: She's the world's strongest hero, and she wants to make sure there are *real* heroes to replace her when she goes. Which involves destroying Spoon and making sure Naga cuts the poo poo and starts focusing. Knife in comparison is a bunch of nobody's she keeps around for undefined reasons, possibly to give the heroes something to strive against. She could, fairly effortless and pretty much instantly, destroy them all. Mulva fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Aug 12, 2017 |

Even behind spoiler bars I didn't want to post that, because it's a relatively recent development. But yes, I know this is like the famous last words, but "it does get better." What originally drew me to the series was the humor, but the characters actually started to get me invested. I love the Chief and Naga, and the idea of a world where superheroes are more than just larger than life people who fight larger than life threats, they are actual public servants who perform everyday helpful activities more often than just fighting villains.

Yeah it's one of those things where "Just hang in there" is really not enough after someone is 90 chapters in and has a problem with a fundamental plot problem, but if you tell them explicitly you are sort of robbing the shift a little. But I think it's an interesting place to take the story that is actually shaking things up a bit, so a light spoiler then the actual spoiler behind a bar.

The reason why I couldn't get into The Gamer is actually for that reason, now that I think about it. I read a long ways in, and then I came to the realization "Oh, this comic is the webcomic equivalent of grinding in an MMO, and way too much time is spent doing explicitly that." I'm not going to read a comic devoted to watching a gamer literally grind his real life stats up when I could go do that in a game myself. They can't all be God of High School, that just randomly shifts gears every so often with little warning.

Noblesse is basically bleach at this point, and even the pretty boys can't keep me caring. I entirely expect Maduke to asspull another way to come back, because he has already done it the last 5 times he got beaten. This one fight took what, 13 weeks? That's stupidly long.

It's still stuck in the same trap as bleach was where it has a bloating cast and has to let everyone fight

It's been pretty-boy Bleach basically forever. If you re-read the early parts it's nothing but power escalation taken to stupid lengths. Starting from basically DA5 it's just been 'Oh look now these guys are here BUT TEN TIMES STRONGER THAN THOSE LAST GUYS'. And ten turned into fifty once the elders started showing up. And even then it keeps trying to keep M21, Tao, and Takeo relevant despite the fact that no matter how much they power up they still get their asses kicked by mooks and can't face any of the big bads. My question is will they pull another 'jam a I'd much rather they go back to Rai being an elegant imbecile who's amazed by simple things like Automatic Doors, and cannot figure out simple technology. Those days were the best.

I've got to admit I'm slightly disappointed we didn't get blood vortexes reaching space and a giant blood phoenix. My guess is Maduke isn't finished and Rai will probably end up absorbing the soul stone so that his power will be restored, just like his brother had intended but it won't be Rai or his brother causing the evil so might as well! Crombell and the 1st elder are still around and it looked Crombell was heading there so who knows, maybe we'll get something interesting out of this.

I'm okay with Noblesse being vampire bleach because Bleach was so dumb it wrapped back around into being unironically amazing and if Noblesse can manage even half the greatness that was a race of people represented by a dude saying they only used bows and arrows suddenly having a luchador pop up among their ranks, I'll be satisfied.

Noblesse is better than Bleach because there are several Aizens and they are all the good guys. Bleach's only mistake was making Aizen a villain. Oh, and the whole thousand year blood war arc was a mistake too.

Is there anybody who doubts that the first elder is Rai's brother revealed to be alive this whole time? Why was Rai's brother even evil in the first place, I don't think we ever got anything about him other than those few pages of Rai confronting him.

If people like cheesy feel-good romance stuff check out Super Secret. Plot summary : Emma is a ditzy college student. Ryan is her closest friend from next door, who cares for her almost like a mother. What Emma doesn't know, however, is that Ryan is actually a werewolf, Ryan's entire family is supernatural in some form or another, and Emma's parents basically gave her to Ryan's family as his 'property' ages past for accidentally kidnapping Ryan. It's cheesy and stupid but also pretty fun.

I think Rai's brother wanted to use the soul stone to save Rai but Rai being the Noblesse he had to kill his own brother for sacrificing humans. That's how I read it anyway.

Kinda figuring something like this will happen to charge him back up, either the way you said or Franky will confiscate it and figure out how to use it without the evil part, maybe with a substantial nerf so it's not like a full charge but gets him back off of death's door.

rai would never go for it. even if the only options were doing nothing with that rock and using it on himself, he'd still refrain.

If the people have already been killed by the bad guy then I'm sure they'll just say, 'welp nothing we can do about it now, might as well heal up old raizel.'

Was the dark spear created as a result of ww2 and Frankenstein stole it I can't remember. I wonder if there will be a full Frankenstein flashback

I wonder if there will be a full Frankenstein flashback The dark spear was created by the organization but not for WW2, just made by 'wars and suffering' and all kinds of bad poo poo like that. Frankie stole it from them. Keep in mind though, the Dark Spear was Frankie's before Raizel went to sleep and that was what, 600 years ago?

To be fair, M21 is at least effectively a werewolf and werewolves have the potential to be as strong as Noble clan leaders, so he could plausibly keep up with some of the big players. Tao and Takeo though...they don't really have much of an excuse other than "uh, Frankenstein did some totally dangerous experiments or something" for staying relevant. edit: The most disappointing thing is how the "Sera (or whoever the white-haired scyth-wielding clan leader is) has a crush on red-haired human guy" subplot seems to have disappeared. That was kind of cute/funny.

So I guess its to be expected but gosu is no longer being translated since its got an offical release. now to wait 2 years for those to catch up

That sucks rear end, but it doesn't really change things for me. I was already content to forget about it for a few years until the second part is complete.

the official translation wasn't nearly as good, or particularly good in general.

Jose posted:So I guess its to be expected but gosu is no longer being translated since its got an offical release. now to wait 2 years for those to catch up Won't be two years, it'll just be one. We get 2 chapters per week (Sat and Sun) and there's like 80-90 chapters unofficially translated, so yeah. 40 weeks to catch up. That sucks. How far behind the raws was the unofficial translation? Once they're caught up, I wonder if it'll still be twice-a-week or if the release schedule will be slower.

I can almost guarentee it will be slower once they reach the end of Season 1.

There wouldn't happen to be a good translation of Knight Run anywhere would there? I've been trying to read it on Naver and it's absolutely impossible to follow with the garbage they're trying to pass off as a proper translation.
