Started this new manhua called "I'm Really Not the Evil God's Lackey"

https://mangadex.org/title/dbbca2b5-bdd1-4f2b-8b2e-d72bf7fd89a0/i-m-really-not-the-evil-god-s-lackey

code:


[&#10003;] No slave business
[&#10003;] No harem
[&#10003;] No "oops you are naked!" type scenes

quote:

Lin Jie is an otherworlder who manages a bookstore. He’s kind and always recommends soul-healing books for his dejected customers. Sometimes he’d even share his own works too. As time goes on, these customers start to respect him a lot. They bring simple local products every day to show their gratitude and ask for book recommendations. They even start telling tales of this ordinary shopkeeper. His respectful and cordial titles include “Hyena of the Evil God”, “Herald of the Flesh Gospel”, “Author of Cultes des Goules” and “Shepherd of the Stars”???

Guy really likes books and performs a ritual to own all books. The result is he is warped to another world to become a shopkeep of a book store in a Victorian/Bloodboune type setting where he wants to give good advice and make some money lending books out. He is always misunderstood in what he suggests always being taken as the advice of mysterious being and it really does not help when he lends out a general book about starting your own business is turned into a book about void magic or something else the person being lent the book really needs.

The dude seems to have some kind of weirdness filter grafted onto his brain because he tries to perceive all the magical beings around him as normal.

Yup. It's the ink being doing that plus that same being is taking advantage of the fact he has no clue what magic or rituals are so he is very thick. He is holding and looking at a book about self improvement. The book to everyone is how to learn Void magic. I don't think I got that until he gave The Little Prince and was wondering why the customer and his daughter were just flipping out about it.

The gifts he gets I think he looks at as "oh these very kintzy things people around here make. Kind of weird, but I'll put it up to show I like the area".

Things are actually very dangerous and he just thinks he is actually super good at interviewing/talking/convincing.

Correct, you need to have the chef sub-class active as well. But...give they say there are 15000 players and 30ish (I think) classes available you'd think some of the players would of figured it out in the first day or two. I've got no issues setting aside my disbelief for the sake of plot, but it's just funny that everyone's either portrayed as either being a sulky depressed layabout or murderhobo the first couple of episodes.

Like, everyone dumped into this mystery world with obvious leftover technology (cars, modern buildings and windmills etc.) Is all "wow, everything sure is a mystery!" And then proceed to do absolutely no investigate work.

Anyway, I'm making the critical mistake of applying logic to an isekai show.

Currently on episode 11.

If you are suddenly in a world where dying has consequences (known or unknown) against you, you are not going to take Chef as a subclass. You would take a subclass to assist your main class/guild in combat. Game logic is why bother with Chef if you can just summon food ? Other better things to put your subclass in like blacksmith, armorer, or anything to let you keep fighting longer.

Switching subclass in the game also dumped all experience and levels for that subclass so it was not as easy as something like FFXIV /WoW /EQ where you could not lose crafting skill. So only weirdos trained Chef and most of them did not even try to cook. I think the cat was one of a handful that discovered if you go through the motions (like a big larp nerd they were), and know how to cook the specific things, and have the ingame subclass at a high enough level, you get good food.

Plus you are assuming that everyone is just open to sharing everything. the city the main characters based out of is the rarity where everyone is trying to make it a good place. If the town they visit is an example of what else is out there, then open pvp, exploitation of the weak, and absolute guild take over are just the start you can assume lovely humans would also do elsewhere.

I like Log Horizon because the MC is an Enchanter. Played only enchanters in EQ and while it doesn't do damage, healing, or tanking turning your enemies to sludge from dps debuffs and making your party demigods is the amazing feeling I fought for and always got. Enchanter as it was in EQ or Log Horizon will never be implemented again because a group with an Enchanter and without an Enchanter is a vast difference.

This is surprisingly difficult to find, especially among the population segment that's willing to stay awake past midnight to day 1 a new MMORPG patch.

it's not the rare confluence of factors lh presented it as because most people cook to some degree and many enjoy it.

As someone that has played and has been stayed up with other people for day 1 expansion releases since 1998 and having made small talk from asking "what did you eat for dinner" the answers are mainly "McDs" or "instant noodle" or "tv dinner".

To put it plainly, the Venn Diagram of people that "wait until midnight to be the first to play MMORPG patches/expansions" and "I made a five course meal with Duck A L'Orange" has an intersection best described as "maybe one person in another timezone and it's like 8pm for them"

There's two options, somehow pouring milk into cereal is beyond you and you get a bowl of ashes somehow, or you actually have cooking skill and you get a bowl of cereal. If you instead used the menu on the cereal box you'd get a bowl of what looks like cereal and milk but tastes like wet cardboard.

Jackard posted:

They can still add salt and pepper? What about other things like sauce or butter? Cheese on a cracker? This plot point seems dumber the closer you look at it.

there's no cereal in the world. just simple ingredients/grown stuff. you would have to make the cereal from scratch first. if you want butter, then you need to churn it.

anyway, the main takeaway from the chef discovery is that as long as you have enough skill, know how to do it for real and doubly making sure you don't ever use the command then you can make real things and then eventually, actually invent stuff that wasn't ever in the game. this is applied to every tradecraft subclass including direct examples from blacksmithing and scribe.

They could probably get that from the People of the Land (NPCs) if push came to shove. I forgot if their food tasted bad, too.

Yes, the NPCs food always tasted bad. When players showed how to make food with actual good taste it affected the way People of the Land saw food to the point that instead of growing the simplest stuff , they would change their crops to be wide and varied.

The best substory is later in the show about "the 42". One bard can't figure out why the People of the Land pack the tavern to listen to her. Then when she finishes they become so emotional as if they heard the best performance ever. She doesn't even play anything good. One of her party members says what she is doing is unbelievable to the NPCs. She is playing a song not of the 42.

42 refers to the number of songs NPCs knew/programmed to play. They cannot create more or even modify them. Hearing a song not of those original 42 songs is like saying here's a new color you can see now.

If you chose number three, congratulations! You're in the company of the vast majority of people with any degree of power, and also now a corpse!

I liked the otherworldly being because I played a lot of Call of Cthulhu RPG where we all tried to sense whatever was after us without knowing what exactly it was. The very pondering of what it could be exactly can easily paint you like a dumb target.

This is why whenever we defeated a fragment of it's being in the physical world, we would do whatever to forget it.

Heavily drinking and getting really loving drugged up on top of the corpse of the elder thing we just killed was one of the few ways to distance yourself from the metaphysical bullshit that thing was.

I like absurd stories which Isekais all have. poo poo doesn't need to make sense!

Elves protect their forest but a) rather thug beat someone that offends then than negotiating and b) very xenophobic of all players and c) use their overpowered NPC status and stats to make sure any player is punished for existing or offending their new friendo.

That's the only other series I read on Webtoon, though honestly I felt like it's grown a little stale ever since the eSports arc. Still a decent read though.

I still read it but the esport tournament and even the recent gold smuggling by the goblins that the MC helped with to avoid the guilds did not come across as entertaining.

The magic user teammate showing up fully decked out with flower gear is still pretty good.

I just talked because I like twists on tropes especially very old fantasy races.

:words:

Another elf variant I love are the elves from the Dark Sun D&D campaign. The planet is super hosed because magic does not come from energy floating around; it comes from any life energy around. Be it plants, algae, microbes and if it's high enough people. You stand on soil and cast a spell, the soil becomes sterile. If you do it in front of weak mob characters, they will not run away in terror. They will all swarm you and kill you because magic ruined the whole world. Its desert now and elves no longer had their forests and naturey environments.

They run. All the time. As traders and raiders. They don't believe in riding animals and all need to catch up with the tribe.

Scouts fork off from what looks like a bird migration and come back to the "flock" to report things.

I've seen a couple series with that concept, and usually it's "these spells are terribly optimized and use too much power for too little effect" and not "this spell randomly crashes and blows you up".

Oppenheimer, during the Manhattan Project, had a worry that setting off a large enough atomic explosion had a chance to kickstart an unending explosion by debonding the hydrogen from the air and the sea and burning the atmosphere away completely.

That is just a runaway "for" loop in magic programming but replace printing the word "BUTTS" with an explosion.

I would suggest if you are looking for a switch or Isekai to look up some Korean and Chinese titles for a change.

Most will be about;

cultivation
game world is now in the real world
the real world is now a game world
cultivation
a hero is either imprisoned or killed and comes back
MC is in a book/game they made
did I mention cultivation?

Each sounds boring but there are some good ones that make it interesting.

Look, the MC thinks that as long as the elves consented he wasn't a bad guy. Doesn't matter that he drugged them out of their minds and kept them locked in cages until they said yes. I would have respected him more if he just killed them to be honest. I didn't make it much further into the series because of that and whenever I saw a snippet of information. He had evolved into even more of an overpowered monster and so did his cohorts so what tension even exists in that story?

I believe its been mentioned before, but its just the concept of the cycle of reincarnation. You lose all your memories and reincarnate in the next life. Will should have lost all his memories, but Gracefeel let him keep them. Re-read chapter 11.

That's actually a question is if it's really isekai if they go through reincarnation because there are a lot of manhuas that go through this.

What about Earth being invaded by portals/dungeons and people get powers to take care of them.

Also time travel and waking up in the past with just knowledge and/or powers and knowledge. There is one manhua I am reading where the MC is killed by an S rank evil guy and finally knows what his ability is: whenever he is killed, he goes back 24 hours.

He then proceeds to go waaaaay back in time via this method. He is suspected of being a criminal by another heros power that shows the number of people a player killed and MC is sitting at thousands upon thousands of kills but it's all himself.

I find it very refreshing to see a story I wrote off because of the title was actually exactly the type of story that I'm absolutely a fan of and wish I could find more often. It both reminds me of Saike Mata Shite mo- which is not an isekai but does have the same power set for the MC- and makes me want to ask if anyone else is reading anything with a terrible name that you're like 'Okay, I know the title is bad but trust me'

This is why I read every book and do not judge it by its cover. I am over the moon people are getting into it.

I do not suggest anything in this thread and would not unless the book is like 100+ chapters into the story. Also that it is filthy of bookmarked chapters that I loved.

About the story, the most significant part that truly hit me hard was the winter training where he has to truly understand starvation and the master looking into his eyes and seeing he truly got it was a good part. Like, yes, you truly understand what I am. How horrible looking forward to eating cookies made of dirt is the worst place a human can be in.

I'm not missing the point. BDW doesn't need to be the one in this arc telling Kim anything about the powers she doesn't know he has (yet). I'm saying if there needs to be romance, have it directed at someone Kim has some level of feelings for already and isn't a character that is trapped in a book.

I must be crazy but I did not even consider MC seeing potion lady as a love interest. he knew, as being a regressor, how rough she had it at the beginning trying to prove herself and he helped her get going faster. if he smiles or she smiles I take it as only platonic on both their mutual benefit and friendship .

quote:

But every time the story frames their interactions as this passionate love I just can't get into. On top of that everything Kim has done; fighting her demons at night, helping her have a vacation from the aristocracy, using his meeting with the pillars to allow her memories to pair with his looping. All of that would still happen if he wasn't "in love" with her because he's just a genuinely kind person and that last point is the crux of the entire plan to end this apocalypse.

I was frustrated and was plodding through the snow world arc when it was releasing . Then it started ramping up and I could not let go and the pay off was huge. I am giving the author a chance to do the same thing and just bracing through this whole real life / dating sim. breaking the whole game system wondering if the NPC or the barely human version of the MC should go back was some great stuff.

_{(Holy hell, realized that it fits in this specific case lol)}

I love series that have actual history included in the sidenotes.

There's a Korean series called "This is the Law" where a lawyer took a trial he knew had severe consequences since it dealt with the president. He is disposed of,returns to the past because he was supposed to live longer. Live longer to fix an unknown "corruption" in the world.

A few chapters back a convience story clerk was arrested because she fought back against her absent father who tracked her down to get money from her. She killed him while struggling to fend him off

In Korean these were open and shut trials. Did you kill an elderly family member and you are young? it's time for a lot of jail. The returnee remembers that the courts have started doing "Judicial Citizen's Participation Trial" which was started in 2008 where they use a jury who are used to give an opinion to the judge.

Read: the returnee uses this to great effect by using strategies the prosecution wouldn't be prepared for.

She's been given powers by the narrative that potentially let her follow the protagonist, so she could be a co-lead, but the story also has her very loyal in her duty to her world and kingdom,

They have demonstrated that players can force the system's hand to make hard changes. If that is possible then I think it could be argued there might be a way to pull a story character out to the "real world".

I do not know what would be worse though; suddenly losing out of all powers they had in the story, leaving the story but not being able to leave the library, or being able to leave the library and have to deal with how poo poo Earth is.

The biggest concern would be diphtheria which ,when read about it, is the plague for children.

If it hits your community, you are going to lose about 40% of all children/ babies at minimum. It's not might lose, it's you are going to make a mass grave site.

I mean look at this:

One of the most massive epidemics to hit New England was The Great Throat Distemper of 1735-1740, according to the New England Historical Society. It mostly claimed the lives of children, and only took about three days to cause death.

“In Ipswich, all eight children in the household of Mark and Hephzibah How died during the month of November 1735,” according to the Historical Society. “A neighbor family also reported losing all eight children. As many as four children were buried in a single grave, a fact that was noted in newspapers as far away as New York.”

The vaccine was made in 1920 but before that it was basically accepted there are some kids that just won't make it.

There's a trashy sort of enjoyment in the stories where the natives are just ultra stupid though. "You mean, you can tame horses and use them to pull carts? YOU ARE OUR GOD!"

I like that ~~one~~ two where people in the world can't cook.

Edit: just remembered there are two. One is set in a feudal time where they know how to cook but the only seasonings they use is just pepper and salt. The other is they eat everything raw set in the middle of a plains.

I'm not sure that's more common than "nobility are all/mostly/frequently corrupt assholes, typically fat or weaselly looking with stupid moustaches and a tendency to bluster impotently as the protag shows them up."

Someone posted about Beverly Hills being an apt comparison to the same actions and people; any influential group will have the same things going on.

So it's an accurate depiction of the kind of American who lives in a gated community?

Or South African.

Especially South Africa. Americans would jizz themselves if they found out you can just kill a dude for trying to hijack another guy's car on the open road.

Edit: you don't have to be law enforcement to enforce your justice :blastu:

Except in South Africa.

Which is where that flamethrower build originated
