FFM loli

 

[Claith]

That shadow is really what's creeping me out...

Looks like how I would hold a cat that isn't very happy.

Wake me up when the fox/catgirl arrives...

I mean, this is a story with all sorts of fantasy races. I will state they exist in the universe. No idea how long to they'd show up though.

It took a shockingly long amount of time in the novels, actually. I wanna say like 2 whole volumes(?) of their constant advances on him before he gives in, stops giving a shit about "buh does liking petite women make me a pedo?" like a moron, & does the deed after they resign from Space Dvergr & become official crewmembers instead of "on loan". Then the fucking floodgates open and he starts acquiring new harem members at what feels like every turn, completely losing his "I only like Mimi & Elma (& Mei just kinda happened lol)" excuse & making his constant rejection of Serena start bordering on cruelty, especially after he obtains honorary nobility, which is around the same time he learns about Mimi & Elma's noble lineages, blowing his last excuse of not wanting to get tangled up with nobility out of the water & making his constant rejections of her downright mean. Can't wait til the novels progress far enough that I can find out when he gives the fuck up & just marries the poor girl, his constant rejections turn her into more and more of a hot mess of a drunk than should be possible for such an incredibly successful military woman...

Serena....joined a little while ago in the webnovel.....in a very unique way, thanks to Hiro's running gag fate altering mystery powers (edit, put in spoiler)

....lol

Spoiler: Well, if you wanna know where the web novels go with Serena...

An evil noble kidnaps Hiro, Serena and others at a dinner party, and drugs Serena with aphrodisiac nano-machines before her rescue. That gives Hiro two options: Let her die, or bang her. And they get all lovey-dovey afterwards.

 

[Morose]

He's gonna take a bath and rest? This pattern sounds familiar. Who wants to bet the new crew members will be visiting his bedroom soon?

It would be quite a while before those two join in.

 

[XenoAshura]

does the concept of just telling people "no" not exist in the minds of manga authors?

i mean, he did reject the noble ladies.
and the midgets are actually useful.

 

[Null_DreiAcht]

These kinds of stories really need a second male character to throw snarky remarks at the MC (if same age or older than MC) or to be disappointed at the MC (if younger than MC).

 

[dexdoujinmanga]

I see why he is not into them. His ideal maid, Mei, has that body proportion after all...

 

[Terluma]

Finally cnnuy for me

That's a crazy, no, 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 username.

Gee blushes thanks

 

[zerio]

Is that it with the enemy gang?
Felt anticlimactic... Unless they really wiped out everyone and there's no one left that would react.

Serena....joined a little while ago in the webnovel.....in a very unique way, thanks to Hiro's running gag fate altering mystery powers (edit, put in spoiler)

....lol

Can you elaborate on how it happened?

ok i'll bit... WHEN did he get mimi?, or it was just using her as a bluff?

Since the beginning, like chapter 5

Holy shit, that's the single most amazing(ly stupid) way their relationship could've ever gone. I don't regret getting spoiled on that for a single nanosecond lmao
Bravo, Ryuto-sensei, shit like this is why I love both of your series!

Btw can I ask you & @PhoenixClaw where you're reading the WN? I love the "final" version of the story presented in the LNs but the wait kinda sucks. Still waiting to see where the foxgirl plotline is headed n' all that...

They had one at the start (the Merc Guild guy who worked the front desk) but it slowly became a rotating cast of pretty much any guy he meets that isn't an enemy... and random people on the street... and Serena...

Just as an fyi, the webnovel tries to account for the changes that happens in the LN. So some stuff might be confusing.

Thanks! It looks like the WN is organized roughly the same as the LN as well, right? Looking at the list of chapters in Volume 10 & the titles seem to be plot points I remember, so that's a relief. It's always a pain when you try to pick up a WN & it's impossible to find where the LN left off (without just giving up & speed-reading from the beginning) unless you specifically get someone to tell you "yeah if you wanna continue from Vol 3, start at ch 740 of the WN" or whatever, lol

TL tried to match with LN volumes so its easy to do compare and contrast between the two. Author really tried to fix certain problematic sections to make the story go better in the LN version.

Examples:

Spoiler

The visit to the elf planet arc got a bit of a rewrite due to how bad it read in the WN. The volume where Kugi gets introduced is handled differently in the WN, the LN adds another character to show off the difference between what Hiro can do with power armor and what that character can do with psionic powers.

Also just another fyi, the release timing is a bit uh...erratic. Depending on donations and such the TL could release chapters like ever few days or as long as maybe a week or so depending. And then when they're caught up with the current WN chapters, we may end up waiting a month or two or so for new chapters.

Seriously.
He's in a position of actual power over them, with 0 expectations from anyone to play nice.
He has no incentive to scratch his nape, give a smile, and go "haha, but..." <_<

Like seriously, what is this, 2001 anime? Get on with the times already, nobody likes these tropes.
