Allen: Heavy User Island!
Heavy User Island inhabitant:

 

[ShiitakeCat]

Allen's naming ability could use some leveling up too...

 

[CountryMage]

What does that even sound like in Japanese, that all these people bought the explanation?

Literally 「ヘビーユーザー島」-> Heavy User Shima

I don't think they understood the naming itself. They just like the explanation and foreign words sound cool. At least to them.

 

[quasimodoslinky]

Junkies and Heavy Users... It can't possibly be intentional, right??

 

[thanghe]

If you can't stand the name like me, you can read it as "Hardcore User Island" in your head
J-novel translated the name like this, and I think it is much more appropriate

 

[Axiallax]

Maybe call it Hebīyūza like how a Japanese person would pronounce it, so it becomes Hebīyūza Island.

Yeah, junkies and hardcore user

 

[cascadiareader]

Does Allen have a secret substance abuse problem?

 

[din_sardin]

Damn you Allen

 

[Guiorgy]

Since the name is supposed to be in a foreign language and the main language right now is English, how about doing an Uno Reverse move and translating the "Heavy User" part to Japanese instead (leaving "island" in English)? How would that be pronounced/sound?

 

[SilverMagnus]

Reincarnated Japanese sucking at naming things trope shall not die.

 

[Mowar]

what a dumb ass name 😭🤣

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

why do they let him name stuff bruh, at least she didn't let him change the army's name.

That is what the MC did. The island's name is a transliteration of 'heavy user' in English, transliterated into katakana. It's pronounced just like it's the English phrase, albeit with the MC's Japanese accent.

That's when the manga is Japanese, but since we are reading in English, the name should be in Japanese and transliterated into English to sound exotic, otherwise the reactions of the characters is kinda breaking the immersion
