it was okay since those ones kind of deserved it. i don't mind him killing, but the scale he ramps up mainly because he's so chicken-poo poo scared of his own generals rebelling, he goes along with all the torture and slaughtering an entire country for it is so beta.

Yeah, if I recall the 'bear hug' one (Clementine), she specifically tormented and killed an adventurer group that Einz was watching, who she killed, turned to zombies, and tortured their only female partner to death. That one was very much justified.

CommieGIR posted:Their uniforms and unit appearance also reflect World War 2 stylings, so not surprised It was definitely based on World War I up until the movie/volume 4, where the tech and international situation instantly jump to like 1941, but then the politics lurches back to 1917 in volume 11. Bit of a whiplash. Also Japan's finally getting vol. 12 & 13 this month and next.

GateOfD posted:been reading thru a bunch of salaryman isekai wanting a slow life ones https://mangadex.org/title/6b06fe1e-ff99-4c8d-be0b-5ad2a4df7603/kajiya-de-hajimeru-isekai-slow-life is one that I really like, though truck-kun is the culprit here but thematically it's similar. CONTENT WARNING - First chapters have boobs. Not in a sexy way but just throwing this out there so nobody's surprised. After the first bit, it cleans up and no more boobs. It's fun and chill and the MC just enjoys his days making good poo poo and relaxing with his catgirl and apprentice.

Is there any kind of useful RSS or bookmarking service? A lot of non-mangadex sites change the URLs on a near-weekly basis, which also clears their own bookmark system. Maybe they work if I'd make an account, but I don't want to. I understand changing the exact locations of the images to prevent hotlinking, but is it really necessary for the main landing page for a comic?

Tachiyomi is a manga/webtoon reading app that you can add the plug-ins for most of the bigger aggregator and scanlator sites. You can add a series to a library to keep track of read chapters, have it check for updates automatically and download chapters for later. You can also migrate a series from one site plug in to another like if mangadex goes down you can switch a series to update from mangalife.

Nitrousoxide posted:What happened? Spoilering, for 'plot' and also because it's gross: The entire plot of the episode revolved around abducting and humiliating the two beast girl students because they smashed Rudy's creepy Roxy statue, that he'd given to his bowlcut manchild friend. Also casually sexually assaulted one of them to see if it would fix his limp dick (it did not). Oh and he's still somehow completely oblivious to Sylphie's identity despite her telegraphing incredibly hard. Bloody Pom fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Aug 22, 2023 |

Jobless Reincarnation: Rudeus is a bad person, he has gotten less despicable as the series has gone on but dude has a long way to go. Also Rudy would probably recognize Sylphie if she were openly female, still had green hair, or wasn’t wearing sunglasses. Really any of those would be enough.

Even worse than anything else I'm aware of him doing up to now! Sounds like he's gotten worse if anything! Maybe I'm missing some context or the OP didn't really state things right, but it sounds like he's a bad guy who's soul Mangod would have been better off sandblasting to oblivion before the series started.

Though I dropped it at the start of this arc so this is all new garbage for me.

Honestly I’m just glad we are in a place where doing what this character did is seen as an incredibly bad thing and not just resulting in being smacked by a mallet out of nowhere and getting a cartoon bump on his head.

I also think there's sort of constant trend of "Okay, are my readers fine with _this_? Then let's push a little more next time..." throughout the story, culminating in the awful plot element that got ultimately expunged from the sequel webovel because it broke that website's rules.

it still remains one of the better isekais with a grander scale of world building and characters, and there's actual counter forces in play versus the other isekais which are cheat based where everything just works out for instant victory for the MC

something like re:zero is engaging because the main character wins through struggling against seemingly impossible odds, with his deaths serving as emphasis as to the difficulty of everything hes trying to do and the forces arrayed against him. the thrill of overlord is uh. watching a team of dmpcs steamroll through someones meticulously thought out dnd setting?

It pops up nearly every few chapters. He does seem to genuinely care for Sylphiette at least, but who knows if that's because of her or because she cured his ED. Granted, even before that he was clear about staying with Sylphiette and not losing her like he thinks he lost Eris.

Look, Rudeus could torture a cat and skin the homeless for fun, the story is promising me an eventual end where he improves as a person and I'll support him no matter how many cousins, sisters, aunts, and his mom 6 times a day that he has to gently caress along the way.

One of my favorites just jumped the slavery shark.  The Mochi I Drew Is Tasty Today Too Edit: it was the one where the kid drawing things can bring it into reality including the ability to heal by drawing a portrait of the being without wounds. Shame but it's such a nice feeling removing series from the read list because of the dumb slave normalcy trope.
