I figured there was some leeway and this thing was in the 18th and 19th centuries. Robinson Crusoe is just an easy example that I remember when this topic comes up.
yeah it was brought up months if not years ago about how LN titles resemble old novel titles but I couldn't remember the time frame those were a common thing in.

Samurai in another world
If you wanted an isekai where the greatest samurai in history gets to run rampage in a fantasy world. This story is for you. Expect violence :black101:



One thing to note, the translators do this annoying thing where any spread is represented both as individual pages and then immediately after as a merged image. It will cause the chapters to feel like they are stuttering.

New chapter of Isekai Editor
He did it, he found his artist

Normally someone having a half-fictional race OC character would be amusing in a deviant art kind of way. but for her that's a real thing which makes it doubly funny

Never heard of it.

Just read the first chapter and it seems interesting.

I realized that I could read the first volume of QA in Another World for free on K-Manga and I’m liking it a lot so far. Leaving a man infinitely falling after he clipped through the world is loving brutal

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

That reminds me of a post in the glitches thread where a torch fell beyond what would normally be the kill plane and fell for real life hours and eventually stopped (part of) the game from working because the game couldn't handle the datapoint for the torch being outside the level geometry. So it could be that if that guy falls far enough, the game world breaks in some unpredictable way.

It was this, I believe.

Mushoku Tensei S2 ep00 is out.
Not a recap episode.

Nice to see Ariel animated, one of my slight favorites for the side characters, she looks a bit shorter than how I imagined her though.
Slyph just appearing in the sky probably means a boatload of other people did as well, and didn't have magic to save them, so they probably just went *splat*

The rougher linework does wonders for this series and it is far more readable than the artists work on Ryuuma. As for the chapter
Ryuu wanting to get hosed up on Sake is 100% in line with his character, dude deserves a taste of home after all the crap he's been putting up with. Also, surprise doppelganger incoming.

It very much solidifies that the demon king is a massive threat even though he's still currently gimped. Like when he sniped that reformed knight from across the planet purely because his pink finger was destroyed, even his sealed body parts could destroy an entire city if proper maintenance on the sealing weapons is not performed.

The demon made a comment chapters ago that Hinako not accepting a gift made her a "key" I think was the term so at the very least she was still anomalous. But yeah, all of this has really been more metaphorical of Hinako's rage possibly corrupting Alice according to prophecy.

It's the realistic outcome for most bugs, really. It's basically what softlock means.

Yeah all the way thru

I feel like the mangaka didn't quite realize the rhythm of the novel which is
impossible situation ->
protagonist explains complicated and difficult exploit to solve it ->
plan seemingly falls through ->
protag was actually exploiting some other, even stupider bug set up 10 chapters ago, and was making things more difficult and needlessly complex because he loves doing that (which is the only reason he played so lovely a game)

Cutting out a lot of the seemingly pointless stuff early on also cuts out the punchlines later

It's weird that some of the ones I follow actually do reasonably well in sales(Undead Adventurer and Faraway Paladin) or are massive juggernauts(Tensei Slime and maybe SLF due to its recent award win). It always gave me the impression that these adaptions do well in general.
