Ore wa Seikan Kokka no Akutoku Ryoushu! - Ch. 53 - The Worst Poison

[lordb1]

The main problem is his stupidity. Dude was a grown man b4 he died ffs, how is he this stupid? He's a genuine man-child. Learning the absolute worst lessons from his previous life + his extreme obliviousness. How the fuck is a grown man, both in his previous and current life, unable to tell good acts from bad acts? Not even being able to notice the clearest of contradictions between his words and actions... Jfc.

And the dude treats Amagi as his most important person + mother figure, but also doesn't mind treating her like a fuck-doll? What?! (Btw I was hoping he didn't actually fuck her BECAUSE I like Amagi, lol)

Worst part is, we don't need him to be like this for the story to continue. Hell, we never needed him to be like this in the first place!

The joke is he thinks he's evil but is less evil and more reasonable than those around him. It has been and will continue to be the primary gag of this primarly comedy manga, if you don't like that you may want to read a differant manga.

unless they give you super powers

Captain America approves.

1.Talking about fucking other women NEXT to your fiance is like a slap to her face, I don't care how "innocent Liam is", that's just not fun to see. That entire scene was just bad mojo :/

It has been said that polygamy/mistresses is normal in this universe among nobels. SO him having other wives in her mind would be normal (he also techinicly already has a misstress).

So is saying "women are nothing but toys to me"?
And even if the culture permits having mistresses, there's still tact and context, here.
In that scene, Liam acted like a little shit.

I know it was meant to be funny, but for me, the joke fell flat.

 

[VooXoo]

Uh, this is new, it didn't happen in the WN I read, or at least not in this point of time in the story.
Some think it will be a genderbending drug for some reason, but very unlikely unless all the future Kurt WN plot is changed.
And the biggest factor against is that

Spoiler

Liam gets cloned in the hope his genes will be able to kill him if the clone have the same training and gear, the clone is a girl and survives the clash, after it Liam send it to Kurt territory to stay under protection and training to common sense.

Manga are generaly based on the light novel not the web novel. Anything in the web novel should be considred likely/noncanon to change, with the light novel being the true source. This is of course not true for manga not having a light novel as a source.

 

[Toon_Jay]

It was metion in a chat in some older chapters that in the book he banged Amagi and it has been hinted at earlier in the manga.

Most of us like Liam.

How dare you answer me like a normal human being instead of acting like I shit in your punchbowl?!

I just think he's WAYYY too fucking stupid. I get the gag, but good god damn.

I know that WNs are subjected to change, editors have to justify their paycheck and honestly most of the time the new stuff feels like it was forced in, we'll see if this is the case (looks like it to me).

 

[Belkin]

No, from what I read. He got engaged to a princess but never a gender change.

Spoiler

my guy, LN volume 5 cover illustration is literally him. Kurt female version.

It has been said that polygamy/mistresses is normal in this universe among nobels. SO him having other wives in her mind would be normal (he also techinicly already has a misstress).

Exactly, a whole planet worth of people (and likely even more) want him to have a bunch of heirs because he developed his planet this far and the worst they could say is that he tried to ban a hairstyle, which he didn't even do after seeing the protests.
They expect him to have a lot of wives / mistresses, because otherwise the current household would be wiped out with his death and some deadbeat relative or someone entirely else would take over.

Him talking big in front of Rosetta may be considered as strange, but to her it is more like Liam tries to save face, everything considered she knows that he isn't really interested in having new wives, never mind the fact what he did during the academy days to win her over (even if that wasn't his intention).

Like they noted in the chapter, they find it amusing.

Yeah that was so bad and since nobody seemed to adress it in the slightest I can only assume the author himself sees no issue with that. I'd love to see people's reaction with reversed roles lmao.

Although we technically got that with Kurt of all people getting hurt over it. Someone check on author he might be down bad...

 

[BreakingLimits]

I kinda wish this would have some underlying serious plot or romance/relationship beyond all the slapstick stuff. Its like 90% about just him and what he does, but relationships (even Amagi's) dont feel that meaningful imo

 

[Shad24772]

Would you really put it past this protagonist to not realize that he's still a virgin whether or not you count machines? Would you really put it past him to create a doll for fucking without ever actually doing that even though he constantly talks about it?

Dude's words and narration are completely unreliable ._. The only thing we know for sure is that he grabbed her chest.

Took the guy fucking decades to barely realize that he hasn't been doing anything close to a fucking harem, ffs.

you can't know for certain. Brian described their relationship as: Lord and most trusted advisor, mother-son and lovers...
and were dealing with a reincarnated man WHO HAD a child and ex-wife before dying. so from his perspective, something like virginity doesn't even matter because of his previous life. And he clearly has PTSD when it comes to women. hence his dependency on Amagi who ain't a woman, but a robot.
oh, and yes. i read this for Liam. as someone who got cheated on by his ex, and not dealing with women bullshit since, this is my type of fantasy: just do whatever the hell i want, and don't really care about others, so long as they're useful... though, i will admit. him caving in to the chick from 3rd weapons factory with wanting to "seduce him in order to dump him after", was pretty annoying.

One correction. He gave in to the protesters becasue the guide (who was trying to send into a deep depression) visited him which put him into a good mood. Prior to that he was willing to fight the portesters tooth and nail because he justh hted that hair style that much.

Thanks for the translations! Any chance could you pick a more appealing font? You are doing good work, but the font works against you.

With regards to series, how about https://mangadex.org/title/0a29b87c...-tensei-shite-kizoku-no-reijou-ni-narimashita

If you know any better (free) fonts, I'd love it if you could send them to me. The ones I'm using are the best I managed to find after a few hours of searching. Right now I'm using:

Spoiler

Fira Sans (general speech)
Fira Sans Compressed (through a speaker)
Kingthings Calligraphic (fancy)
Komika Hand (sound effects and side text)
Komika Parch (scary)
Komika Text (thinking)
Desyrel (for badly handwritten text, rarely used)
Paete Round (only used for two really specific moments)

None of them are what I would call ideal, but they are... functional.

And thank you all for the suggestions!

To be fair, manga does a pretty bad job showing Liam's retarded thought processes and his trauma concerning woman. That's why there is so many jokes about him coming across as super gay. He is obviously on the spectrum as well. And author (being the dumbfuck he is) made it worse with his yaoi retardation. You'd think he learned his lesson while writing mobuseka but apparently not.

 

[Wizardrone]

I hope, really hope that kurt wont go that way as some has suggested

 

[Senko112]

Nooooo my yaoi😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Recommendation to pick up:
Please finish
Hyakuni: Kazoku tte Nan darou ne https://mangadex.org/title/897954d9-c68a-437e-badb-3de35a2b5171/hyakuni-kazoku-tte-nan-darou-ne

It is precious and short but git dropped for some unknown reason. The Chinese translation looks kinda scary, but please finish the story, it's like, four more chapters.
