I haven't read the Dragonball manga in years but the way Toriyama drew Piccolo's cape billowing behind him is just fantastic. Something about that man's linework is just so appealing.

 It's Golden Kamui again. At this point If you need context or haven't started reading this yet, maybe this whole manga thing just isn't for you.

Schubalts posted:Honzuki no Gekokujou is another of those "reincarnated in another world" stories, except it's one of the few good ones that isn't about the main character being a god-king who never fails at anything. This is probably the first entry in that genre worth reading (other than maybe Grimgar i guess). Anyways, I wonder if they're going to brush over the 'apparently her body belonged to someone else' thing, or if that was just a misunderstanding on the protagonist's part...

it's a genre staple. it gives people from earth a pre-built place in the society and relationships. some examples are considerably more dickish than others.

World customize creator is an interesting take on the trapped in another world genre, except it's just him in a last airbender-esque medieval fantasy world and he's literally got console command powers, and it freaks everyone the gently caress out when he's like "hmmmmm...I want to build a tower here!" and just edits an impossibly tall tower into the middle of a city, or spawns a wall between two opposing factions because they refuse to stop fighting It's got a bit silly as of late but I like the political machinations between the various nation-states and the powered/non-powered humans. I'd post some pages but I'm on my phone right now, maybe later

There's a good, if slow-progressing, translation of Bookworm's web novel right here: http://blastron01.tumblr.com From what I gather in the WN thread, the story is very long running and stays a well-written character piece throughout, while still changing the formula often enough.

Elysiume posted:It's grim, but less grim than effectively killing the girl and stealing her body. I also got the impression that the original little girl died. I figured it was just something like she was recalling memories of her pervious life and had lived her entire 5 year life as this little girl, not body snatching! Law Cheetah posted:overlord is bad Overlord is one of the worst things I have ever read, along with another even more fetish-y light novel that was basically the same thing without the game premise. It was also bad.

And WCC isn't nearly as bad as Pavlov seems insistent on making it out to be, though his issue seems to be with the genre entirely. Like, Sword Art Online or its ilk are leagues worse.

Overlord is just as trash as Sword Art Online, but it's shinier because the people that did the anime have actual talent.

overlord had a lot of potentially interesting ideas, but it always seemed more inclined to wallow in pointless cruelty instead. if i wanted to read that kind of poo poo i could always turn off my filters on novelupdates and pick one of the many, many fantasy rape dungeon wn's that are available.

I would have really liked how Overlord has a protagonist losing touch with his humanity if it was actually about that. Instead, it constantly fetishizes the atrocities that happen as a result, indulging in gore with off-putting sincerity. There are worthwhile characters and bits of world building but Overlord pushes them to the side more and more as the novels progress. Overlord loving sucks, is what I'm getting at

The only exposure I've had to Overlord included who I believe is the protagonist being basically invincible and then killing some antagonist girl painfully while she screams in terror. So that kinda put me off a bit. But I might be misremembering.

I've only read the manga of overlord, I have heard it does take a turn for the worse later on in the light novels, but the lizardmen stuff was interesting. If it just turns into sadistic torture porn that's some real wasted potential. Most light novels are like that, really, it's a bummer.
