The Dungeon that Kills all Adventureres
Dowman Seiman is back at it again and this time he's jumped into the isekai genre with a story about two girls that died and are now forced to maintenance staff for a dungeon. Going by his previous works and the current chapters expect debauchery, drugs, humor, and lots of bodies. Good thing being workers in the dungeon grants infinite respawns

two new chapters of faraway paladin!

The first one being almost constant two-page spreads, and incredible ones at that, makes me sad we'll never see them animated

And what a pair of chapters, christ. We finally, finally, see the bastard dragon in the flesh. and he is suitably prideful and lordly, as expected.

Yeah, if you want to keep up to date, the translator typically posts it to https://manhwafreak.com/manga/saihate-no-paladin/ and then a third-party collects the chapter chunks and posts them to mangadex eventually.

i was reading the level 99/hidden boss but not the demon lord manga for a bit but didn’t really get what the hook was supposed to be, and was wondering if something was being lost in scanlation. but now that it’s available as light novel prepubs on jnovel i get it. she’s an oblivious girl who’s good at sports (mind-bogglingly bad at figuring out other people, too statted out for the normal pass result on all skill checks). it’s not gripping storywise or anything but at least the humor is comprehensible and it seems to be going somewhere at a tolerable pace

e: to clarify the material facts of what happens are comprehensible in the manga they just don’t seem to land as humor? whereas the light novel seems to make it work. may be an issue on my end

a new Mynoghra dropped.

I have heard that after the events of the last chapter in the LN(or was it WN? I forget) the series goes downhill. but I'll stick with it for a while longer, though I can certainly understand why people would think that way after those events. that said, man these girls just can't catch a break, huh. and now they've mirrored insanity of each other.

quote:

Now that I thought about it, I couldn’t really condemn slavery as a whole. Some sold themselves into slavery to feed their families while others did so to be fed. I also didn’t have an issue with turning criminals into slaves.


Such stories were commonplace—even in Japan a few centuries ago—and, if you stopped to consider history at large, issues often arose when slavery was prohibited. People suddenly found themselves unable to provide for their families and died of hunger, while others had to work themselves to the bone for a meager wage.


I found myself wondering whether those people had regretted being granted their freedom. At least they got to eat as slaves.This also had an influence on unemployment rates. When a cheaper workforce suddenly flooded the market, the workers that had previously occupied low-wage positions struggled even more. Even in the modern world, there were plenty of companies that offered poo poo conditions, making their workers slave away on low salaries twelve hours a day, 365 days a year without a single day off.


All in all, my point was that, sometimes, ending slavery brought more trouble to everyone than keeping the system going.

main spends the first two chapters attacking slave ships but apparently only because he doesn't like those particular slavers.

slavery may enslave a lot of people but it also affects the unemployment rate so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not

This is kinda how persona works. You get the ability to go into nighttime dungeons and get rich and this let's you afford super supplements and better tutors and this means by the end of the year you've become the best sports star with the highest grades.

Jeeeeesus christ. I'd fallen behind on re:zero a while back, and am catching up on the manga.

"Behold an unthinkable present" is a nearly meaningless sentence withiut context, but with context it is absolutely mortifying

I'd started to lose the plot amidst The Sanctuary stuff, but got back in and this series continues to surprise me.

I don't want to go digging due to spoilers, but is the original work completed, or is it still being worked on? Some series go on forever and others know when to wrap it up, hopefully re:zero is the latter, I'd hate to see it fall into some kind of status quo hell.

I started watching the anime for this one and I loving hate it. Which is weird because I enjoyed the manga. I don't know if it's just cause I know the plot beats or if the manga was organized better or what, but the anime is just absolutely insufferable.

The isekai web serial Ar'kendrithyst almost has this issue, but it fortunately ends up getting explained. For a while I was like "this is dumb, someone must have figured this out," though.

That's actually the case with a lot of stuff in that story. Many plot elements that seem dubious but are inevitably explained later.

This chapter is why the patriarch of their Giant clan is afraid of Alice and what Hinako has done for her life. But it's also cool to see that even with how fixated on her sister she is, Alice was still able to reach out to others and make some connections in her world. Get hosed Wendigo, now lets see how the oldest sister is handling her conflict.

Surviving The Game as a Barbarian is a game isekai that looks promising. There are no stats or status screens, at least so far. Also the game is a masocore dark fantasy dungeon roguelike.
