I lost interest in the Trapped in a Dating Sim LN when the sequel game starts. It just seemed like the story wrapped up at that point and I wasn't really interested in continuing.

GateOfD posted:reading 'Not your typical reincarnation' Just binged this one (the Webtoon release at least, listed as "I thought it was a Common Possession" on mangadex/others) to current(33?) and I quite like it, as it's a pretty different take than the widely-explored "I'm in the villainess' body and need to right all the wrongs" pathway. Where it's at on Webtoon hasn't quite made it to what I threw under spoiler tags in your quote, but I can't say it's a huge surprise. E: read to as far as it's been fan translated (Ch. 53/apparently the end of season 1) and someone is loving with her pretty hardcore and it's down to like two candidates and I strongly dislike both of them. spookykid fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Mar 25, 2024 |

Spookydonut posted:I read all of the currently translated I'm evil lord of an intergalactic empire, its very fun. Same author as trapped in an otome game life is hard for mobs which is also fun and is close to wrapping up i think (and season 2 of anime). Might check out the evil lord of empire one. I think it’s hilarious when the MC tries to be selfish, lazy or evil and everyone ends up misunderstanding that he’s an amazing person due to because he isn’t 100% a dick or bad(good) luck and his actions save everyone and keeps getting burdened with responsibility because of that

Got another Isekai Samurai. We're getting some backstory and some sage advice from our intrepid Samurai

Sasaki and Peeps is probably the most interesting original idea I've seen in the Isekai space for a while. It's weird because it's not really doing anything different, it's just doing everything better somehow

don't care about the merchant or noble side at all in that series, usually i do like the merchant stuff, but not for peeps. i like how its pretty much older Kyon-kun from Haruhi once against just running into every troupe imaginable

I’m trying to think of D&D-inspired series for an endcap at my job. The books need to be physically available (so no Isekai Munchkin) My list so far: Delicious in Dungeon (sadly the first volume needs a reprint) Frieren (same) Record of Lodoss War: The Crown of the Covenant Slayers light novels Lazy Dungeon Master Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash light novels Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World I know Goblin Slayer technically counts but c’mon. No. Any ideas?

The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary fits pretty well. One of the antagonists in Mynoghra is a TRPG player. Faraway Paladin Magic User is about a level 20 dnd mage in JRPG land. Overlord is MMORPG based but it takes a lot from dnd. Guyver fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Apr 5, 2024 |

Guyver posted:Faraway Paladin I'm not entirely sure my recommendations would necessarily fit, but I figure I might as well try, right? would S-Rank Daughter fit the bill, maybe? another series I really want to recommend even if it doesn't fall into that wheelhouse is Heterogenia Linguistico: An Introduction to Interspecies Linguistics, an incredibly detailed fantasy series about an anthropologist and translator traveling to areas populated by monsters(werewolves, gryphons, lizardmen, etc) to learn how they live and survive and attempting to translate their respective languages, both spoken and physical. It's genuinely one of the most conceptually fascinating series I've ever read. also, if you help stock a bookstore, I highly recommend keeping these series on your radar for if/when they eventually get licensed: Old Knight of the Frontier, Bard Loen Any Sufficiently Advanced Science is Indistinguishable From Magic Bard Loen is such a phenomenal series that I'm kind of flabbergasted it hasn't even been licensed by some digital storefront like J-Novel yet.

Yeah there should be more WRPGs on a D&D list. I'd suggest adding Witch Hat Atelier in addition to the other suggestions like Bard Loen and Wolf Won't Sleep.

Also looked into it and yeah Unwanted Undead Adventurer has a physical release and is VERY DnD as is Faraway Paladin. Both Lodoss War and Slayers are LITERALLY based on DnD campaigns and concepts so those go without saying. Wolf Wont Sleep sadly got axed which was bullshit, but Bard Loen still continues and is awesome.

Since we stock the Konosuba RPG I figured I’d check out how many we sold in the last 52 weeks. A respectable 7! That’s five more than the Marvel RPG and four more than the Pathfinder 2e core ruleset. It’s also 49 less than the D&D 5e Player’s Handbook but, y’know, you’ll take what you can get

I forgot the majority of what I had read of Strongest Curse Clan Reincarnation: A Magic User's Utopia, except things like he uses totems as magical tools, has a creepy stalker sister, and in his initial adventures he got some major accomplishments that he didn't want to bother with so he made a deal with this one dipshit useless thug bully in town to take credit for them instead. well in the latest chapter it's revealed the dipshit useless thug bully was happy to have all this unearned fame, and word of "his" amazing deeds made its way to the queen, who immediately hired him as head of the royal guard as a PR stunt. and at this point most stories would have him fail spectacularly and catastrophically in a bout of karma and schadenfreude for his earlier misdeeds, but instead he bucked up and took on the role of an actual hero befitting the lies surrounding him. also the dipshit useless thug bully's name is Gaston like the series is pretty mediocre but I just find that one bit funny

God drat karate survivor in another world is good. I won't say it is especially groundbreaking, but it perfectly captures the "Wanderer" aspect of its hero best. It's got extremely minimal rpg poo poo in it(levels, level caps, skills and a menu) that get brought up very rarely, but is mostly about the main character living in an extremely brutal dog-eat-dog society of adventurers in a VERY medieval(and I mean that, no "castles but there's magic lanterns to replace electricity" sort of crap excuse) society. The way he builds incredibly strong friendships and bonds that at a moment's notice can dissipate or be forced apart, is very well done imo. It is fairly repetitive in its storylines but despite that is written well enough that it keeps you locked in. The current arc is one of my favorites so far though.

I read all of the karate isekai and now I'm sad that there isn't any more karate isekai to read. Man, that guy can't catch any breaks can he? The translation I found for the first few chapters was really poor quality so I don't understand why the villages at the beginning wanted the main character dead so badly. Does anyone know?

New speedrunner isekai I greatly appreciate that it's not entirely going by the info he has as a dedicated single game speedrunner, but also tossing in things he wouldn't naturally know. Which then gets subverted by other knowledge he DOES know, but that's the fun of it

The Tsukimichi light novel got licensed. The first book is out and the second comes out at the end of July. The first book is pretty much the same as the anime/manga with a few more details that they skipped over. Like some info on the demon homeland in the epilogue. Hopefully it does well since the Japanese publisher is known for being shy about licencing series.

some new scan group has picked up Sister and the Giant. their decisions in translating her accent are...questionable. but seem mostly okay outside of that. and so with this latest chapter we have gone even further into full blown post-apocalyptic sci-fi, now with mecha the symbol on the front reminds me of Canti from FLCL

Surely there should be a voice in your head saying that going from little to no accent to suddenly Boomhauer is maybe correcting too far in the other direction right?

I'd doubt it, seeing as they replaced an accent with a different one. (I think they were maybe trying for a Mafia one? I didn't read much of it, but that's the feeling I'm getting from it.) If they were anti-localization, I feel they'd stick more with translated Japanese Yakuza tropes than try and find a separate Western accent.

The credits page did say they're open to feedback on the accent, so hopefully it improves. It's not like it kills the readability and the chapter was still great.
