The riddle of the sphinx!

What? No, he lives in the novel, too. I think the mangaka just got over-enthusiastic and drew a severed head into the first scene, then had to quickly backtrack when they realized the person actually lived. The point is supposed to be that the demon kid is literally a kid and as much as she...

Yeah, so we at least know they're still active, unlike some other slightly obscure WN/LN. Hopefully a new volume of Making Magic is in the works.

Going by the novels, The manga is definitely adding stuff, though, because she never does the "Oh right, I'm a girl now!" thing, or at least not nearly so much. She more or less doesn't care and just immediately behaves perfectly feminine.

The manga seems to skimp on the explanation here. She's not weak, she's a top-level player and has the same stats she did in the game. In the game she got a lot of pets by taming raid bosses and from rolling the gacha and such. Said pets were nerfed from their raid boss stats and basically...

The WN was discontinued in favor of the LN which has been translated through Vol 7 at J-Novel Club. The LN fleshes out a lot of the shorter adventures and is generally better quality than the WN was. We'll see if the author continues the LN since it's been almost a year since Vol 8 came out...

Tetooooo!

Oh, hey, the vampire loli Overlord AU got a manga. Neat. The explorers pushing through the jungle to find an unknown chasm made me laugh harder than it really should have. A little weird the manga writer had Hiyuki's pets rejecting her be something that could actually happen rather than her...

Yes. Because they literally did. It just sounds weird to you because you're used to the modern version of it. The point stands that referring to them as 'partner' is perfectly correct and you're quibbling for weirdly nebulous reasons.

No, it literally meant "Marriage partner" not any sexual or romantic relationship. It's MORE correct to use it for the person you are married to than the more casual way it is used now.

"Partner" has been a synonym for spouse for 300 years.

The black viper killed a lot of people before Yuna got there. The same can be said for a lot of Yuna's big saves. She usually arrives after the crisis starts, so there's already victims/orphans created.

It's from the LN (and probably the WN).

Kinda sorta is, but you've got it slightly backwards.

Whip-poor-whills are the most annoying bird ever, basically. They super fucking loud and also nocturnal. We had one build a nest outside our bedroom window once and all night it would just shout "WHIP POOR WHILL" over and over again. We had to knock down the nest like three times before it...
