You know, one of the things I appreciate about this series is how it manages to have very short and simple interactions with characters like the Dragon and Inari around stuff like "hey, I have a bunch of rescued kidnapped kids" where it nonetheless always conveys without saying much that these...

Okay, but, did he ever ask any of these children if they have anywhere else to go or is he just straight up unilaterally Pied Piper-ing them away to a distant land where none of their families will ever find them.

I know, right? He just fucking goes in and buys a mansion and hires four people to wait on him hand and foot for no discernible reason. "I find it uncomfortable if people treat me as a superior, so let's restructure my life so I have live-in servants" excuse me what?

Normally, I will read almost any isekai where the characters all generally seem to remain nice and gentle people. That sort of power fantasy with no stakes and no viciousness can, I find, be pleasant and relaxing to read, even when the writing isn't all that great. But this one just has so...

This has been so... aggressively generic and without any plot tension, worldbuilding, chracter-building, nothing but a summary of isekai tropes with no clear purpose behind them. ...Hoping that these last few pages are a sign it's about to actually go somewhere with anything! What for? In an...

It feels like it's doing that manga romcom thing where everything is set up pointing towards a specific outcome that might alienate most of a general audience and so it just... dances around the issue and does nothing. We've got the monster with the mad crush on the girl and the girl who hates...

I didn't get very far, but I feel like I was surely reading a different manga from all these people who are praising it...?! Stopped reading when MC started killing and draining the life from . Wayy too much edgelord in this one.

So, er... you don't like needless killing, but you like needless killing...? Because I'm not seeing anywhere where him finishing off the kids who misunderstood something and took some stabs at him, after incapacitating them was "necessary". Or even "warranted" or "advisable"...?

I mean, I just assumed (apparently correctly, although it could be a transliteration issue) that it was a made-up name for the series' sake (especially with the "rare disease discovered 20 years ago" line, which reads to me as "I, the author, am not comfortable using a real disease, have a...

You can't be serious. Ugh... No, why?? This is some of the best art I've run across all year, no cap. (To say nothing of it just being heart-wrenching all on its own) ...Well, at least cancer is way less of a death sentence than it was even ten years ago. I have some hope. (And now really...

Appreciating the artist in this more and more. Twice now in this world we've done a really smooth "Here's a bunch of exposition text, and meanwhile the pictures gorgeously show the stuff that's going on while they travel in the meantime," and like, yes, that's a well-known technique but usually...

Okay, I seriously respect this artist's range. A couple chapters ago they were doing gorgeous pseudo-nordic architecture, now they're drawing dramatic profiles with furry noses contoured with picture-perfect hatch shading, seemingly without batting an eyelid...

...The irony of this chapter for me is realising that, happy as I am seeing them together again, the writing was better for the last few chapters when it was just the three other characters of the party with no self-insert character present. (That said, I'm glad it seems the author seems to...

Okay, I appreciate the execution here. That could have easily felt cheap ("of course your waifu is following you! Yay, no conflict!"). Maybe it really should have. Instead it did it perfectly—convinced me we really were going to move on, that his loniliness was going to be an ongoing theme of...

I was a little confused too, but here's my hot takes: I too found it odd that he's not mentioning the equipment, but, prioritising what the nobles want is in keeping with the themes of the series. It's possible his equipment is supposed to be made with the leftover scraps? In any case, it feels...

It should be noted for historical purposes that when I said this, it was just the one oneshot, rather than the whole anthology. The anthology as a whole is clearly GL. Although some of it my least-favourite type of GL (I mean, really do we really need another series about . Yes, it's something...

I'm somewhat in agreement, and the thing that annoys me most about it is the author has proven they can write compelling downtime arcs and benign characters, slowly build relationships, even while maintaining a sense of tension. All the right stuff is here! It's just it's tilted too hard towards...

I feel like reading this chapter as unambiguous in either direction (thinking what MC did this chapter was irredeemably evil, or thinking what he did was fully justified) is a disservice to how hard the author worked to set up an unfortunate and ambiguous situation. I mean, we even see him...

That, too: On top of everything, these carriages would likely never see the light of day! And really, quite sensibly; there are surely much more practical and in-demand uses for several crates of mythril.

"I was weak and couldn't go outside much, so, I naturally earned how to personally dismantle large wild game corpses while living in modern Tokyo" ... Look. I'm okay with flimsy excuses. But this... just emphasises how inexplicable it is for him to know this. It's like the logic of an alien...
