No it wasn't. It was stated they're articulate monsters (on c14 p16), and that they evolved from "monsters that would utter 'Help me!' from the shadows in order to lure people". They were human eating monsters from the very beginning. They're creatures of magic with no direct analog. No, mana...

Emphasis added, this is where you're going off the tracks a little bit. Nature provides good analogies and specific purpose tests, but at the same time we should never forget that there is no actual version of this in nature. We haven't even actually seen individualistic apex predators evolve...

Also, like Dungeon Meshi (though in of course a completely different manner) I love how the author has done enough world building to actually have a whole "ecology" going on so that all sorts of cool bits of story naturally just fall right out of it. It all pretty naturally evolves out of the...

UNTIL IT IS DONE

As expected, straight to Zama. Not surprising at all but still, too bad though that the author couldn't fit in the original peace and betrayal. I always thought it was interesting/important that Scipio and Carthage originally agreed on a treaty with very generous terms, regardless of the total...

@rrolo1 Dunno, but given the author's attention to detail early on, major improvements over the course of the series, and time spent on even more minor setup events, I suspect it's the latter and there was some pushing to finish. If so I'm bummed but also sympathetic, a lot of great series have...

It's diverging slightly in the details from generally accepted history to speed things along, but the feel of it and personal interactions are still great. Since this looks to be going directly to Zama with no interlude, I do think it does some disservice to things since the original peace...

Oh wow. We speculated given all the oddities of the professor, but what an end and series. Thanks for the translation!

At least Flora seems peppier now, no more bags under her eyes and such. So apparently the drain wasn't permanent? Or at least not without being able to complete the ritual which the witch can't do without Catipede.

Take me home, concrete roads~

Hannibal's final insight there was probably one of the most important and lasting, essentially on the ultimate importance of resources and logistics for serious force projection. There are lots of good quotes to that effect, ie: And no doubt many more. But the attraction of tactics and strategy...

Poor Flora, she might be sad to find out the witch wasn't just interested in her art.

Knew this was coming, and the official history, but yeah oof nonetheless. Of course many of those soldiers killed probably had families, and the peasants forced into it are at least as pitiful. It can be for strong causes and reveal great heroism, self-sacrifice and intellect, but war is still...

Practical robo! And good to see power of guts/irritation apparently works for robots too. Also: >135kg 300 lbs in a body like that? He may not have all his gains anymore but he doesn't look obese or like he should weigh that much normally either. Another hint?

Having all the painting boxes wrapped up like a Japanese funeral picture is a nice touch.

@windrunner830 Hey now someone stealing your pudding is serious business! Queen had absolutely no choice but to flee to demon lands!

Hahaha so absolutely perfect. I don't know why the demons expected the slightest thing different given that the mother was the one who just decided to use a hyper teleport spell to run away from home by breaking directly into the Demon King Castle. And of course princess is going to want to show...

Some of those IIRC may have been in the past. Otherwise though could be a range of things from humorous to straight to serious. Ie., as above said robo or prof could have just decided that a "coughing blood function" should be part of any realistic bot (or simulation). Alternatively if he's a...

The ball was ok but robo should have gotten him a jar of burn creme too.

@Darthskippy Thanks not just for the translation period but putting some thought into it, and yeah from my own few small scanlation efforts sometimes dialog bubbles seem ginormously oversized but often it's like trying to cram a novel into a postage stamp :(. CentiCat is pretty good too, and...
