Yasser Arafatwa posted:I was trying to decide if it'd be funnier if that happened, or if he'd like cause himself to be near/far-sighted, or give himself 20/20 vision at "max" settings. Why would he give himself 20/20 vision when he can reduce his sight and begin running way faster? Does he really need to see shadows?

Dan7el posted:I'm lost. What or who is a "cleaner"? I don't understand why glasses-guy needs them killed. He just needs his shield to cause damage as well. And he knows plenty of fighters anyway. He should really just join a clan and reap the benefits of clan specific equipment and martial arts abilities.

Changing food into different food is dumb. Not translating honorifics is a point of contention but overall they should probably be translated as they're not loan words and if we didn't translate words because they had deeper meanings then nothing would get translated. Chinese has words that specifically state whether an uncle is a brother of the father or mother. This kinda thing happens when you have a billion language characters and it's goofy to think that the best way to get the full meaning of something across is to not explain it at all. Not translating manga or manwha titles is evil and everybody should stop doing it because I can never remember manga titles anymore. Seriously people not to stop doing this.

I would like to note that going in all magic allows him access to money making opportunities that he would not have otherwise. Magically creating hammers makes him money. Money lets him buy magic gear. He really needs magic gear right now. Also he could probably hire guards and stuff.

Artificer posted:It seems that Noume is just another ranged caster? That's not too helpful. Maybe he will have to spec her into a more defensively oriented spell tree or something. Sort of like Guild Wars's companion skill selections. She's also invisible before he manifests her. An invisible look out plus invisibility hat sounds like a pretty good combo.

Anybody have thoughts on Re: Monster? It looks like a similar gaming world manga but from the perspective of a goblin. Used to be human and was murdered and reincarnated as a goblin player character. https://www.mangahere.co/manga/re_monster/ It sort of feels The Gamer like?

XboxPants posted:True but seeing as it's a monthly manga and it's only 4 issues in, it may be worth waiting a few months (years) so there's some room for discussion and the thread doesn't just fall idle. We could still probably move it to the shounan or seinan thread but I wasn't sure which one it was and it seemed like the fans of The Gamer would probably like this too.

Anybody want to start up a re: monster thread since it's starting to get some decent discussion in? I know I recommended it first but the google doc seems to indicate that the series has way more wish fulfillment than I care for. There's a whole day dedicated to tentacle porn.

Dragonatrix posted:No chance; if his dad is a magical badass, Jee Han is getting his poo poo absolutely and unquestionably wrecked. He effectively just got beat by a couple of what were, in the grand scheme of things, absolute amateurs not that long ago. I really appreciate that he's so weak compared to anybody with actual experience. Overpowering the main character is a huge problem with rpg mangas and light novels.

It does seem like physical stats are way easier to raise though if you happen to follow the training program of an elite ancient sect of warriors in a time stasis bubble.

Desuwa posted:I don't think Jee-Han is unique in terms of being special. There seems to be large variations amongst individuals with abilities even if they can be loosely grouped into "families" or what have you. There are probably other people with abilities that are just as abnormal but maybe not as powerful. There is a guy who converts electricity into magic. That's awesome. Can he transform parts of himself into lightning? Who knows?! That has to be initially more powerful than the gamer though.

BlitzBlast posted:At the moment his entire skillset is geared towards defense and survival. When it comes to actually fighting, he's got his arrows and basically nothing else. This works out for him since he's not in this to kick rear end, but eventually he's going to get stuck in a fight. And, well, you can't really win by just turtling forever. He's totally gonna die. Main character feels too safe and there's enough characters to handle his loss now. Pieces are pretty much set for ultimate tragedy.

The Evil Thing posted:This is absolutely true. What most schools teach as mathematics is really just tedious clerical busywork. It's a shame, because mathematics is really loving interesting. If we taught it closer to how we might a course on philosophy, students would a) be more engaged, and b) do better at university level. So...any suggestion for learning non-clerical math for the fun of it?

Thanks for the options. I've been through law school so logic isn't really a huge issue for me. Kind of hard to argue with math in novel and game theory form. That's sounds fun. But will doing these things increase the amount of fireballs I can shoot?

senae posted:legend of the shield hero is pretty good, and as a plus isn't quite as creepy as these tend to be Yes it is. The main character's major threats are false rape accusations and he's highly likely to end up dating his underage surrogate daughter slave. Also this manga seems weirdly ok with slavery as long as the masters are nice. Well niceish. I mean it has its moments but lack of creepiness is probably not one of its strong points.
