Thinking Mel may be a nickname. That doesn't mean she will ever get a full name though. Melty or Melissa could either be the full name. Thanks for picking Meli.

Thankfully there is a more important Gibson by way of William Gibson.

Still can't get over the body line of her outfit. Every silhouette reminds me of Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

バーボルド (baaborudo) would be barbold if translated directly. Both names (barbold/barbosa) are incredibly rare according to the site I visited, so my preference would go to barbold, but it honestly doesn't matter much. Even more so for mel/melu.
@CloroxWipes I sent you a friend request on Discord btw

so golems and Iron golems so far. will there be serveral kind of golems? perhaps silver, gold, copper or mithril golems too?


and such a rude party to brag. i got a feeling they will be embarrased by a golem which gives them atomic wedgies.

At this point, how many adventurers in this country haven't at least heard of The Bloody Bear? Not buying that a girl her size is the infamous new adventurer is one thing, but not having heard of her seems lacking on their part for entirely different reasons.

The only time not to transliterate a name faithfully is when the name is almost certainly an unfaithful transliteration of non-Japanese in the Japanese.

Examples of unfaithful transliterations in the Japanese are 「アルマ」 for “Alma” and 「ベルナ」 for “Berna”. I've seen translations fuck-the-monkey and just take these to be “Arma” and “Beluna”.

「メル」 should not be rendered as if 「メリ」; that would have been a faithful transliteration of “Merry”.

Transliteration is not translation; “Barbold” is not a word in English; and Japanese cannot faithfully transliterate “Barbold”. If you gave the Japanese, one of us might suggest what to make of it; but, in any case, wholesale changes are not appropriate.

I don't understand why they'd want to destroy the golem if it's a free infinite source of high quality materials. Isn't that better than a regular mine?
