    @AlmondMagnum @spacehydra It's a mistake. A mistake done so many times that some argue that it's valid. As a translation, I would say you can't really hold it against him either. But there are still plenty of grammarians that are trying to push back. Personally I do align with the grammarians...

    Isekai Kenkokuki - Vol. 4 Ch. 25.1

    Again, the circumstances were different. Look at the examples it used. How many fit in the circumstances of this chapter? Meanwhile the one conflict you kept in your quotation, I'm pretty sure it was in the same ways the other examples were uses. Like to burn towns offensively or defensively in...

    Isekai Kenkokuki - Vol. 4 Ch. 25.1

    @givemersspls - Except the examples used are "Royalists shot flaming arrows into the thatched homes" (emphasis added) for the British Civil Wars. Or in another area of that section are "firing bolts and quarrells dipped in tar into the town". Yeah, your link says flaming arrows were...

    Isekai Kenkokuki - Vol. 4 Ch. 25.1

    @givemersspls - Coating arrows with resin, oil, or tar just allows the arrow to go on fire. Again, wood just doesn't light up on fire that easily. The resin doesn't spread, at best, you're trying to cover something with enough arrows that it would go on fire. If you want something like the...

    Isekai Kenkokuki - Vol. 4 Ch. 25.1

    @givemersspls I'm pretty that's moving the goalpost, but I'll bite. For an "in-context" reason... well let me ask you this: Have you ever tried to start a fire? Even if you say yes and still disagree, then I ask you think back - because I'm pretty sure you didn't just toss a whole log...

    Isekai Kenkokuki - Vol. 4 Ch. 25.1

    @givemersspls - I don't want to get fullly involved in your arguments. But I'm annoyed enough of your comments on fire to make me chime this. Setting things on fire just isn't that easy. If it was, there would many more examples of people using it in sieges involving palisade walls. In reality...

    Reincarnated as the Daughter of the Legendary Hero and the Queen of Spirits - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    @Karsh - I have also thought about that. It might be just what JamesHenderson1065 said, which really boils down to personal biases. But if there's a more "universal" reason - or maybe the right word is more "intrinsic"? I can't think of the right word... But what I'm trying to say is if there's...

    Akuyaku Reijou no Tsuihougo! - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - All I said was that I wanted to go to the Port Town...?

    @xyzzy Let's see... Pan looks like circles, pointy thing that look like it's design to stab and place small things, and the chapter's title is about how she wants to go shopping in a "port town". Yeah, you're gonna be pissed.

    To Be Ordinary! - Ch. 76

    Tomose and Fukatsu moments are the moments that makes me want to keep reading. Contrived BS like someone gather 50 rando asshats on the internet to march to another school to attack a guy makes me want to drop. It makes no goddamn sense.

    I how to wonder the relationship between comments and ratings. The comments are largely positive and all enjoying this series. Yet it stands at only a 7.32. Personally too I like this one better than several other series I am reading with higher ratings. Sometimes, strong openings does...

    For some reason, I particularly like his offer to keep a boat for the father. I don't know, it just seems like an offer that really ameliorate his concerns. I guess it was because I was just expecting the MC to just explain the border town is safer and stuff. But an offer to a way to escape...

    Wanwan Monogatari ~Kanemochi no Inu n shite to wa Itta ga, Fenrir ni shiro to wa Itte nee!~ - Vol. 2 Ch. 9

    We can't demand it, but when it's there, we gotta respect it. Because a good scanlation really can make something trash into something pretty good. And a bad scanlation really can make a something decent into something terrible and boring. I'm pretty sure if Wanwan is being translation by...

    I Belong to House Castiello - Ch. 30

    If the slaves are people summoned from another world, then this chapter finally provided something related to the "Isekai" aspect of this story.

    @coffeescans - I just want to express that I appreciate your work and I hope you'll finish translating this series. I can see this isn't grabbing that many readers, but I do want to let you your work is appreciated nonetheless. With only 27 chapters, I do want to know how it ends.

    While comments are apparently devolving into flames wars. I'm just glad this manga got picked up again. This is both one of my favorite, possibly the favorite manga and isekai. If there's a series I want more people to know of its existence, it's this one. So many isekai series this one I feel...

    Boukensha License o Hakudatsu Sareta Ossan Dakedo, Manamusume ga Dekita no de Nonbiri Jinsei o Ouka Suru - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    People are pulling numbers from medieval "history". I find this chapter looks a lot more fitting (and more commonly known) to major league sports (or military combat - but lets use sports for this argument). Literally right now, one of the big news in sports is Rob Gronkowski is retiring. He...

    Release That Witch - Ch. 23 - Man's Romance

    @AlmondMagnum You're so right. The biggest value of the early guns ironically means the guns are actually for use of the "unreliable" patrol soldiers rather than the skilled hunters. Though at the same time, that depiction of the soldiers of the end of the chapter are drawn looking so...

    @CrownedTraitor - It's actually pretty thought provocative. If one think about it, there has been many different approaches to training people into an army. Most historical systems just relied on the culture with strength of the army built by experience. More systematic approaches are quite...

    All of Humanity Is Yuri Except for Me

    @kn1000a - Also a fun fact, the term "sliders" comes from the 90's Sci-fi show Sliders. A sci-fi show where people jump dimension to dimension exploring parallel worlds of alt-history. The term is pretty niche now, but back in 2007, when Haruhi was coming out, the show was still recent enough...

    I'm a Villainous Daughter, so I'm going to keep the Last Boss - Vol. 1 Ch. 2

    I deem the dad as 2nd worst dad of the Otome Isekai manga genre. What a prick. I feel she should just accept becoming a commoner and rebuild like another Otome Isekai choose.
