thanks for the translation.

but i think i'll just wait for the anime, as the art for the manga is really disappointing.
the insomnia eye is still there
background is mostly template 3d stuff, so it doesn't fit.
the art feels like it's only done with pen tool. not to mention some is just not cleaned/refined yet(not TL's fault. for example, the close up of the saint/priestess in page 11 looks like something in between rough sketch and finished product)

and because i read the novel, it's just incongruent with my imagination.

again, thanks for the translation. i hope for the best.

That woman's arts on page 13 and 14... Like... this artist seems to barely draw anything already, in comparison to most mangas. Then he decided to do sketch drawn surprise gag? Most of the pages were like a step or two above sketch level already...

Yeah, that's what I keep thinking lol. Rough sketches with some 3D stuff slapped on top of it. It doesn't help how jarring/bad looks when you see the cover art.

I didn't know there was an anime in the works, that just helped me drop this. I'll wait for the anime as well. Hopefully it's a better adaptation than this...

novel reader community in discord really partied when the anime announcement dropped.

BTW, a quick look from the official raw website, i think the insomnia eye is still there up to chapter 28

Doing perspective shots with multiple characters but no background just makes the whole thing look of then there are how most of the backgrounds are just gray scaled photos like this feels like the time when an artist change would be valid

Reading this comment made me hope that the anime adaptation is intentionally smockful of horrid CGI, just to troll us all :wowee:

It's about time Rin showed some curiosity about Ryo's abilities. Kinda ridiculous Abel's team hasn't been at least trying to recruit him.

I took a look at the artists Instagram and yeah most of their work is cleaned up rough sketches and really rough 3D model art. They have a few posts that are cleaner looking than others here and there but it really looks like they just gave up getting past the basics.

Thanks for the translation. The ending section adding what was not here that was in the LN is great. TL is doing a better work than the artist in this one.

Honestly with the current state of seasonals, I wouldn't hold my breath for the anime to be much better. At least the stills of characters in the trailer look better though

I like the art, it reminds me of master Breccia creations.

So the MC didn't know about the tidal bore because he was in the library? I guess that means there isn't any sort of city-wide alarm to let everyone know when one's happening. That seems like a bit of an oversight, given that they know to expect one every few years.
