Everybody talking about the age gap but I’m distracted by the workout depiction Turns down a spotter No warm up Only goes for one set, three reps Spotter grips the whole bar instead of applying minimal required force Ends on two reps instead of lowering weight for a second set Author, please...

Geckos are kind of on the noisier side. The common house gecko chatters (chk-chk-chk-chk, earning it the alternate name "chichak"), and the tokay gecko makes a two-syllable chirp that supposedly sounds like "tokay" (hence the name). Personally, I think it sounds like a strange duck or a squeaky...

Well, so much for my “enough Nephteros for everybody” epiphany from last chapter. Easy come, easy go, as they say.

Thanks for the translation and I am perpetually salty that the anime had Cynthia throw her match against whatsisface the Charizard chump. She the best, no matter what some hack recency-bias showrunners have to say.

Someone tell this girl about Lara Croft Actually, maybe don’t do that. But there’s precedent for low-poly girls to be popular if nothing else…

I surprised these mercs never took notice of their employer's younger brother. He seems very much like their type.

"Talking fox". Named Inari. Who performs miracles. Girl. If I meet a guy with six wings and a flaming sword who calls himself “Michael”, I think that's a bit more than a "bird person".

If I remember my schooling correctly, that’s generally accepted as one of the reasons WW1 had such a high body count – war culture was still running on ye old honor and chivalry mores when the efficacy of modern weaponry and tactics made those beliefs impractical. “Proudly distinguish yourself...

What I’m getting from this chapter is that there are more Nephteros out there. Enough to go around. Enough for each of us to have one for our very own…

I will continue to hold out hope that the nectar isn’t actually a narcotic but that saint-turned—alraune’s latent holy power infusing it means the nectar really is just that good. And I will hold this position until we get withdrawal symptoms.

Japanese gift culture is bananas and I'm so glad I don't have to participate in it.

If I know anything about fantasy slop where the guy steamrolls multiple women across the first few chapters… That request is going to be that he contribute to the family bloodline.

Girl's gettin' blitzed in the middle of the niiiiight… Beats day drinking, I suppose.

Calling it now: Grey alien is Best Girl.

Read the room, granddad, do y'want great grandkids or not?

Having gone back and read those chapters, I don’t think it’s metaphorical. They used implicit threats and social pressure to keep her on the dancefloor until she collapsed from exhaustion. Feels like a very high society thing to do. Can’t just run her out on a rail or beat her up or whatever...

This one was pretty weak, but I cede the author one point: That strategic information concealment 100% qualifies her for the villainess title. Entire conflict could have been avoided if she just did the spirit reveal some six months earlier, but nah, she was out for blood.

This discussion is all well and good, but we're clearly neglecting the real mystery: What the heck an isekai gyoza is and how a stand hawking them beat out every Karin in the competition. Is one of the students importing food from a fantasy-cooking hybrid manga?

I think the implication in that was "I'm waging war with your employer, so killing his men is the tactically sound decision. If you want to live, remove any shadow of a doubt that you might be one of his men." A "get the hell outta Dodge by nightfall" kind of threat. Man complied as much as he...

Protip: grabbing a tree by the trunk and wrenching it from the soil is not how you transplant trees. But also Boss Squirrel said the tree had magic in it so it'll probably be fine…
