To the translator: I like the notes page you are providing at the end of Isekai Cheat Magician. It's nice knowing why a translator makes the decisions they make, and providing examples of tricky bits makes more people aware of just how difficult a good translation can be to produce. I'd been...

In re the "heroes": they are young and inexperienced. Way OP for their understanding of the world. So, yes, doing dumb stuff is par for the course; they don't have the experience required to know any better. In re the "bad guys": Battle Junkies doesn't begin to cover it... it does, actually...

I'm noting some recurring themes in the works you are scanlating... ;) "For Certain Reasons" and "May I Please Ask" are an interesting contrast. Comparing the two of them makes them even more enjoyable.

Oy, what a piece of work that 2nd Prince dude is. Bets as to his lifespan?

She didn't clue in, just as I'd thought. Humans age far more rapidly than elves, to put it mildly. Intellectually she might have understood that, but when faced with the reality, she didn't grasp it until after he had left again. I mean, no way he would have entrusted that ring to anyone else...

I agree, she's not thinking things through properly. If she is the only woman whom he can touch, no way in *bleep* is he letting her go after the "sham engagement" ends. He's at least attempting to be semi-decent about it, but his aides... well, they don't seem to want to take any chances, not...

If no one else is left alive, the World will indeed be in unity....

@Tearsax Well, it did say "her heart had grown toxic", which to me says she's gone pretty negative on things. Looking back at that scene, OK, that's widow's blacks and black crepe on the photo, I guess; I've never actually come across anyone who did such a thing in RL, so it didn't register as...

nuisance It's misspelled on the final page. Worth checking to see how it's spelled before that, as well. And, yes, the "you are different from us and therefor Eville!" thing gets tiresome after a while. There's always the question as to whether the teachings of the church are representative of...

Ah. She had the anti-intellectual bitch mom from hell. Well, when her mom gets back there, I'm sure she'll find a warm welcome awaiting her.

@Eviltwinq Actually, I think it goes considerably further back than that in European literature... But I might be wrong about that. No question about it's being a trope of long standing within Euroamerican culture.

"The Nobles always have us run interference for them, until it's time to collect the loot and divvy it up, then it's 'who are you again?'" "So... This time, we'll take the loot for ourselves!" Sounds good to me.

@Aichan Yeah, I wondered about that myself. It's either supposed to be "Sacred Light Kingdom", or this is a case where a play on words makes sense in both Japanese and English. Might be worth checking the raws to see. However, given the "Town of Yahoo", and the "Google It Inn", it may well be...

There's a translation ongoing of the novel, and it uses "Control not possible" rather than "Maneuver not possible." Something that makes it more clear that the alternate character that is changed to is not under his control, but completely autonomous in it's actions. Still not the best...

@sunsetchaos Because he can't afford to keep it. And it is far from where he goes to school. At that, so far they've side stepped just how he will be able to pay for their upkeep. Living in that small a place himself, the impression is that his finances aren't that great to begin with. There's...

Headphone/Yuri... Um, there's doujinshi for this? I mean, it's already close to Rule34 as it is... It really wouldn't take much. Not being a headphone aficionado, reading this was enlightening. Especially since... I'm currently in the market for a pair for the exact reasons listed for their...

*sigh* Always let your subordinates know why you want something done. This should be done if your subordinates have shown any tendency to act upon their own initiative. Especially if the reason you want something done is foreign to anything that you or they have done before. Just to make sure...

I'd read the first two chapters of the official English release, but hadn't gone behind the paywall for the rest. So it'll be interesting to see how things developed past that point. ETA: The Official English release is up to Chapter 30 at this point. It was already at Chapter 29 when the...

Hokay... The coworker didn't have him up on sexual harassment/assault charges after (accidentally) ripping her shirt off, and offers herself as a marriage option... and he goes "Ha ha, good joke. Naw, I've got some options already, I think, maybe." Oblivious. Then again, Min-Eul did list...

Yes! The younger sister appears! (Who will inevitably be a closet brocon, yes?) I really should have realized this was inevitable ever since we saw the sign on her door when he deposited the "youngest sister from across the way" there. Let's see. So far, of the three sisters across the way...
