khy posted:Isn't Arifureta the one where he meets a 400-year-old vampire in the body of a 12-year-old girl and they bang like rabbits on extacy? Or am I thinking of a different series? Yup thats it. He also meets a literal horny rabbit and a masochist dragon among others in da harem. Pure class all the way through. He and the dragon do some anal play when they meet. I'm not making GBS threads you. It's in the anime. nrook posted:Okay, this is good to know, thanks. It's funny that the LN isn't really isekai either. I had figured that was just dropped in the manga because the author had gotten people to like their fantasy story on the merits and didn't feel obligated to follow the isekai hook anymore. But I suppose it was always perfunctory. I've only read what's out and in english of the manga but I really like that he's a legit paladin and actually shown to be pious. It's something I hadn't seen done before.

LibrarianCroaker posted:Make My Abilities Average is on CR Found it, it just wasn't on the front-page where I could find it easily. I'm a little miffed that this one also decided to skip ahead in the story. I kinda get why, the whole first part is kind if a false start, but it kinda appealed to me in how unpredictable it was.

Ugh I just realized that the reason Gwenpool is my favorite Marvel character is that she is an isekai protagonist.

I Swear I Won't Bother You Again updated. In case anyone hasn't been following it, it is a villainess otome game type of story but without any actual reincarnation or transmigration tropes. The villainess met her bad end and wasted away in jail until she died upon which she found out she had time leaped back into the past. The story does a pretty good job of explaining the reasoning behind her old behaviors. It's just a giant heaping dose of trauma on top of a badly broken family and you feel pretty sorry for her. Even now she's going through a lot of the same trauma, except with the additional memories of basically starving to death in jail after losing everything, so her solution is to basically try to just divorce herself from the world and keep her distance, physically and emotionally, from the people around her. Of course, this time around people are noticing the sudden changes in her behavior and realizing that she isn't actually doing that well (to various degrees), so people from her childhood friends to her heroine sister are all trying to get closer and help her while she is trying to pull away and become more secluded. The manga so far seems a bit more light-hearted compared to the serious/dark tone of the novels.

What was that one manga about a female alchemist/apothecary/potion maker who gets stuck in stasis for some hundred years and finds out that her stuff is now worth a fortune?

There's a chunk of either the WN or LN up on NovelUpdates. Be a little wary of it though. It's not super bad, but slavery's a big part of it.

Bakanogami posted:From what I remember of what I read of it, Arifureta isn't actively abhorrent like Shield Hero is. It's just obnoxiously edgy and chuuni, and overall just not all that great in a very normal way. Not awful, just...bad. It's like Ubel Blatt except lovely.

Nalin posted:I Swear I Won't Bother You Again updated. I like this one too. It's a very... internal story, about how she sees the world and how she's internalized that everything bad that happened to her the first time around was her own fault. I've also been reading the latest chapters in Japanese after the translations stopped updating.

doomrider7 posted:Sigh...of course. If you want to know how far it goes and whether you're willing to read past it, here's some slight spoilers: The MC comes across a group of mercenaries that take on jobs shipping various things. Their current shipment is a bunch of slaves, mostly debt slaves I believe, though criminal slaves also get mentioned (those are the only type of slaves mentioned, which while bad enough means there probably isn't another kind of discriminatory slavery). The MC buys an abused and semi-disabled slave that is otherwise likely going to just be used as a meat-wall by people exploring the labyrinth. She doesn't set him free (though there is no mention of whether or not that's possible), but she does heal him of the majority of his wounds and they seem to fall for one another. This last bit is where things get a bit ew, because while the MC never abuses the master/slave relationship, in fact she tries really hard to avoid it, it's still there hanging over their heads. If it wasn't for that bit I'd have no reservations recommending it, because it's otherwise cute SoL stuff.

I wouldn't say outright bad but it's like a cargo cult/shorthand of Berserk and fails to live up to that. It's also darker and edgier (but not really darker, because Berserk gets dark in the aesthetics and such.

Yeah that's definitely kind of sketch. I'd have to actually read it now to see how bad it is/gets and I'm now curious how the author handles some of those things, yeah that's sketchy especially if they drop the ball.

Might still read it though since the premise was actually pretty interesting and the revenge angle wasn't as loving stupid as in Arifureta or any of the other slew of lovely revenge novels.

It's been years since I read any of ubel blatt so I don't remember a lot of details but iirc there is a lot of rape & attempted rape and "trashy" is a pretty good descriptor for it

A big silver lining would be if the rapists and attempted rapists die and very horribly at that, but that doesn't change the edgy trashiness of it. In other news, Though I May Be a Villainess, I'll Show You I Can Obtain Happiness! posted it's last chapter. https://mangadex.org/title/41728/though-i-may-be-a-villainess-i-ll-show-you-i-can-obtain-happiness

"Breaking Off the Engagement… Bring it on!" is updating again. It is a pretty fun story. The prince breaks of his engagement with the MC, and she is quite happy. Then the story starts tumbling sideways through sub-genres. The new updates finally finished the tournament arc. Though it is also one of those "barely technically not isekai" stories.

Wark Say posted:While I'm not sure if I'd ever read Master of Ragnarok, that's a good father dude right there. Indeed. It wouldn't surprise me if his writing is just following "The Template" for these types of stories simply as a means of getting popular enough to make sales to support himself and his daughter. LibrarianCroaker posted:The afterward of Sexiled has her describe the Master of Ragnarok author as her mentor. Yeah. He apparently helped her during publishing and several other details while giving her advice. Him good dad and Publisher-dad.

New chapter of Femake Knight in the Countryside I like this series. The fact that the MC and the Isekai'ed girl got put in isolation against disease is the first time I'd even considered that in these stories, and now she SAVED A KITTEN PROBABLY I LOVE KITTENS.
