Not entirely sure that's true. From what I can see, the Japanese corporate world is pretty rigid, but the MC and sidekick are pretty devoted to escaping their wage-slave roles and doing stuff just because they want to. More generally though, DPowers are researchers, not adventurers or power...

In general we have two things (at least, potentially) Source of wood that can be easily converted to planks Source of metal in ingots, that can be used to make nails, hinges, etc. need a forge, but the main thing to fuel that is charcoal, and that's just something you can make from leftover...

Well portrayal of foreigners seems a bit stereotypical; the Russians, Americans and Chinese primarily (in that order), although the British don't make a good impression either, and I say that as one of them :D This is pretty escapist - increasingly so as the story rolls on; we have a somewhat...

Odd #50 hasn't been posted here yet - been up on the utoon site for weeks now...

Yeah. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't enjoying the Manga version, but honestly, its more to see how they present the story, as the light novel version is both more detailed and far, far further advanced in publication. Large blocks of text are also harder for the scrubbers and translators too, of...

it's a pretty good story, but it doesn't make the transition to Manga well, as there is a LOT more talking than doing. "Chatroom" segments are particularly painful, something it shares with "Free Life Fantasy Online"

Maybe? Expected mechanic is that a field ready to harvest exists; you harvest it, and some time later, it respawns, ready to harvest again. The difficulty would be getting to that point, but you wouldn't need to "farm" just harvest. If you break a branch off a tree, then after it respawns...

The slimes eat anything that isn't kept under observation 24/7. That would not apply on "safe floors" of course, but would apply to (say) copper wires on unsafe floors. Well, maybe. one of the things to test would be if copper that is a "mining" drop, pulled though dies to make wire, would be...

This is explained at one point in the novel but in short - nobody else is interested enough. The MCs are researchers, not explorers; they are driven by the need to find out, to try new things just to see how they work. Most national teams have two focusses - either to explore dungeons with an...

Sorta? I mean, they will start talking about it, but it will be some months before they even get around to planting anything. Main things coming up next will be (in spoilers, for obvious reasons) Mostly a talking shop part of the novel (storyline has LOT of that, unsurprisingly) but...

For those following the LN, Vol. 9 part 1 just dropped on JNovel and has a back-reference to the Manga version :D

As far as we know, nothing previously encountered couldn't be beaten with stats half that - case in point, Team Simon has stats around 50 at most, and TS completely defeated Evans dungeon at that stat level. It is good strategy (in military terms) to allocate a reasonable force to each point...

Debatable. Miyoshi was dumb enough to attack a God and pull aggro when Kei could have (and should have) taken point. The consequences of that are on her. Further, lets say he pulled a Miyoshi and decided to put all his available points into some other stat (and, say, raised defense, like...

Probably, although it would make adjusting his kill count awkward. There is also the possibility he would damage the mansion itself, and/or its unique drop, the "book of wanderers" not even close. He hasn't spent all his SP even now; he has about half left. We don't know what "Max" is, if there...

Yes, but that's the conversation they had when they knew they WOULD be fighting enkai - and Miyoshi not only prioritized her BL fetish, but suggested Kei take the lead - then ignored that and instantly attacked. The prior conversation was basically "yeah, lets not go anywhere near him" which...
