well, they were about 30 seconds from deciding to go search for farlyn again with their new, larger party instead of escaping. farlyn just skipped some steps, is all.

I think everyone would have appreciated getting the drop on Farlyn in her current state than the other way around.

that was probably never going to happen. the terrain was reshaping itself to help her and hinder intruders.

even if they had every advantage, a second trip to go find farlyn was never going to end well for obvious reasons.

That was a great chapter. To me, it feels like Marcille's is obviously the deranged one that must consume while Senshi and Chilchak's could interchangeably be the giant macho one and the dopey passive one. Edit: but now that you mention it, if Senshi really does feel like all tall folk look alike he would be the one to mess up the faces and proportions badly for them while getting a better quality Chilchak double.

Also, did anyone catch what happened on page eight? I'm re-reading all the recent chapters to make sure it's not just my imagination.

ha, that's probably the missing ninja girl.

izutsumi is not terribly trustworthy. she is a lazy, violent liar. if the goal was to make her useful rather than befriend her, a magic collar is kind of understandable. it's still pretty nasty though.

Even in the ones I've liked I've started getting upsetti at how many times the medieval fantasy people are amazed at the hero for inventing shampoo.

the concept of a person from an enlightened, superior society (lol) introducing the products of that society to a less developed one is old as hell. trashy old pulp fiction about white saviors are exactly the same as those wn's where some kid with absolutely no talents or specialized knowledge finds fame and fortune based on such traits as 'has black hair', 'lives in a house', or 'owns a cell phone'. the isekai part is just window dressing.

it's not an innately flawed concept but it appeals a lot to innately flawed people

it is great when it is obvious that the author doesn't have the slightest idea of how to cook. so, their stand-in then has the most amazing ability to roast meat over a campfire out of nowhere which wows the degenerate natives who spent their entire lives roasting meat over a campfire.

I like the cooking for Fenrir one because it's moreso about new spices and stuff, like teriyaki chicken and whatnot.

Also it's environmentally friendly! All that trash has to go somewhere :3:

i like how he doesn't really know how to make sweets so he just buys convenience store junk food instead. said junk food gets equal reactions to his hand-made meals using fresh and occasionally literally magic ingredients.

All the guys are 90 year olds in magical bishonen bodies that treat her like a toddler.

What was the isekai where the nerd and her cute best friend go together? The nerd gets the powers but tries to keep her friend in the limelight due to preconceived notions (of both the people in the world and her own) of what the hero should look like.

exactly, none of them are potential love interests at all. even the adventurer boy is treated more like a pet than her actual pet.

I remember when stories of characters stumbling into different worlds were about adventure and wonder rather than video game mechanics.

nostalgia is always worthless, but yours is worth even less than most. i spent my teens with incredibly low standards for fantasy fiction. at some points i was reading multiple fantasy novels every day. the lack of video game bullshit did not somehow make garbage fiction any better.

it's completely dedicated to the idea that the slime will never lose anything, ever. a subordinate dies? well, gotta go butcher an army, bring that subordinate back to life and also make them literally unkillable.

Spirit Migration was pretty much fine but it got axed, and the ending is pretty abrupt.

E: Slime Guy is a trashy dumb manga but it's still better than most isekai because it's neither hateful nor rapey nor slave-obsessed.

it isn't vile but it isn't interesting either. there's never anything at risk because the author abhors risk. i'd say it is equivalent to the wn where an adventurer retires and then it is about the completely sincere and humorless process by which he buys a house and furniture.
