This series is so fuckin' unique. Like, it's not unique at all in some ways, but then off the charts in others for its style. More violent than average shounen power fantasy, more "serious" than most isekai/returner stories (not focused on HS drama as if the MC was never older), and then we have gods descending now and feeding on humans? Whoever made this had to have been smoking something strong, it's insane.

If coexistence is impossible, this becomes easy. There's no way other than eliminating all of the enemies.

 

[Kanade0021]

There's been like 3 different titles with a similar fantasy real world, but having the gods just be default evil is kinda new? Because they're western gods and not kami?

The other players aren't really shining yet though. That girl just said MC's name over and over the entire chapter.

Got any names? I know of one that's somewhat similar in feel, but even that still gets a "beach episode" so to speak, because they can't avoid the tropes (specifically The Savior «Messiah» ~The Former Hero Who Saved Another World Beats the Real World Full of Monsters~).

But yeah, there's definitely no worthwhile characters just yet, even the MC, but the style and setup are very unique compared to your average version of a similar story - not to say that it's particularly good, just interesting.

Page 31, If I'm understanding right, Kazu's memories of Kakogawa are fading? If that's the case, then it seems odd for such an OP character.

Thank you for the chapter.

There's the one with the sage who has chess related powers and japan has several shrine yakuza.

There's the one where it's not!Fate and serious, except the MC and female lead can't stop oogling each other.....and there weren't many chapters anyway

Messiah is probably the best because they're pacing themselves with how serious to be, instead of pretending to be serious and making terrible edgy plot points.

Thor's attack kanji on page 10 was 「雷神鎚撃」 I think, which is just something like "thunder god hammer strike/attack" so pretty uninteresting unless you want to run wild with it and do like "Divine Lightning Hammerfall" or something artistic like that. I guess the breakdown might be intended to be 雷神鎚 (Thunder God Hammer -> Mjolnir) 撃 (Attack) in which case just translating the right side rubi text would be sufficient and the kanji is there for chuuni points.

After seeing the second named attack it does look like it's all just fluff and would probably have to bend things to get an interesting secondary translation for the kanji. Second attack is 雷神鎚 + 肩撃 which again is basically just some fancy kanji for Mjolnir tackle (thunder god hammer (again) + shoulder attack).

All that's to say: the named attack kanji for Thor's attacks is worthless and your translations for it are good. It'd take more effort than it's probably worth to try and think up something fancier/"better".

Just a heads up, that two-page spread of the cut (26+27) should be combined into one image. It's part of the site guidelines (3.2.3), and I also personally agree with it; it's not great cycling through the page-display options and back just to properly view a 2-page spread.

Thanks for the translations.

Thank you for the chapter.

Even though he's OP but he's still tied to the rule(i don't know the exact word for it😅) of that world, in this case, he's still gonna forget someone who killed by the variant. It's just my opinion, don't take it too seriously.
You're welcome

That girl just said MC's name over and over the entire chapter.

She is so carefree, she just say "How should I explain this situation to the people at home...?" even though there is a variant in front of her.
Maybe the reason she's acting like that is because she feel secure with kazu by her side.

Thanks for pointing it out, already got fixed.
You're welcome, hope you enjoy reading it.

Thanks for the explaination.

I guess the breakdown might be intended to be 雷神鎚 (Thunder God Hammer -> Mjolnir) 撃 (Attack) in which case just translating the right side rubi text would be sufficient and the kanji is there for chuuni points.

So if i want to make it simple, i just can just translate the right side and keep the kanji attack in there?
or maybe just clean the two side, but just use the right side english text?

After seeing the second named attack it does look like it's all just fluff and would probably have to bend things to get an interesting secondary translation for the kanji. Second attack is 雷神鎚 + 肩撃 which again is basically just some fancy kanji for Mjolnir tackle (thunder god hammer (again) + shoulder attack).

All that's to say: the nammed attack kanji for Thor's attacks is worthless and your translations for it are good. It'd take more effort than it's probably worth to try and think up something fancier/"better".

Maybe i'm gonna try that in later chapter.

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

Another question raised, then who the hell make the invading system integrated to the normal world if the invader even didnt know why they invade the earth?
But, maybe, I think the plot seems similar with The Gamer...

Maybe the first time summoning is like summoning demon king through sacrifice type of thing, then it evolved to what it is now, but it's still require sacrifice.

Thank you for the chapter.

disclaimer : I know nothing. I'm just guessing here based on past chapters. It's in spoilers because I got banned once by guessing without using spoilers in another manga's reaction forum post. I was also wrong by the way. Still got banned.


well he is also having trouble remembering his parents and Yui, so I guess they died to variants in his past and the effects of that is still harming him. So like he has an underlying issue on his original body, then his original body gets enhanced with the OP build of his 2nd life without fixing the underlying issues first.Then he enhanced his own body again in outer space without knowing he had issues with his original that probably should have got looked at first.

It's like if you upgraded your car but neglected to also upgrade the electrical systems and the old failing car battery.

Wait? so you could get banned for that?

 

[someunregpunk]

yep. Also I got banned months after I made that comment.
So I would be careful in these forums.
I had to use reddit to find out the reason from a helpful mod of mangadex.

The whole I reason I add the disclaimers is to inform and to protect myself. But mainly to inform cause I don't want anyone else to suffer this.
