Akuyaku Reijou Level 99 ~Watashi wa UraBoss desu ga Maou de wa Arimasen~ - Ch. 21.3

[MarsVoltaire]

Thank you for picking this up. I thought no one world.

 

[Tatsuya-Kai]

this seems like it might be different from the LN, iirc in it
the heroine ends up betraying the mc at the demon king's castle (who by the way was apparently just another person who had black hair and powerful magic i think?) and nearly killed her if it werent for the revive necklace patrick convinces her to wear, then the heroine ends up getting killed
in general i think there was a lot more animosity between the prince/heroine and the mc, but tbh i by far prefer the "become friends" trope to the "heroine is actually the villainess" trope

That's web novel, isn't it?
In the anime

Spoiler

She get's kinda brainwashed to do it, either way she lives.

Look, i'm happy miss Game MC is getting more characterization, but the anime ending was hot garbage. So please don't go that route (even though you clearly are).

Spoiler

She lives in the LN as well, but does on her own accord try to kill the MC. I hate the whole "the world is trying to right itself" nonsense, since there have been none of that in the rest of the series to this point.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

My view is

Spoiler: Spoiler

it isn't the world, but the dark god who is trying to make the circumstances happen for a dark magic user powerful enough and in enough despair or anger to unleash it from its prison. In the original game line, the demon lord had no desire for destruction beyond one kingdom. Yumiella might have been angry, but she dies against the heroes. Now with a reincarnation soul in Yumiella, it tries forcing her to be enemies with Alicia, like in the anime, but Yumiella won. It keeps trying in all these alternate universes.

Successfully converted. Yume-chan, you player you.

Does the Artist have health issues? 6 month hiatus so far

 

[FuyuMao10]

Lmfaoooo seems like the heroine also got addicted to leveling😭🤣🤣

 

[GuruMeditation]

Wait... You're editing this on a cell phone?
I guess I'm just so old now that the idea of even trying to edit this on something other than a real computer with a screen and a wacom tablet seems like insanity.

 

[Windyadept]

Yes, corrupt the Heroine

I mean she is the protagonist of a RPG, so it'd make sense she likes leveling - at least once she gets the hang of it

 

[ShiitakeCat]

Thanks for the TL! Are you picking this title up?

 

[hippomann]

That every adaptation/telling of this story had a different Alicia is pretty interesting, and its nice to know that we don't know what will happen in this one.

 

[Psychronia]

Grind for a woman and you power her up for a game. Teach a woman to grind and you power her up for almost all RPGs moving forward.

It's nice that they can finally meet though.

On one hand, the academy seems to be kinda ass at its job. On the other, Yumelia really fails to see monsters as monsters as opposed to delicious chunks of exp that she can't even acquire anymore.

 

[RobinMedea]

We've got another one boys!

 

[Sakuyadorf]

holy crap the heroine can see!
She can fight!

 

[ripjaw_5]

Is this going to be different from the light novel? I need to reread it

I believe this is following the anime story. The LN author has said he likes the different direction that the anime takes the heroine in, and anime is afaik more popular than LNs.

 

[ripjaw_5]

Not fond of them because they're inefficient level fodder. Gamer girl, right there.

She good at convincing her to drink the mana potion.

Levelled up so much she's able to actually see Yumi now.

Another addict?


The latter is just so overdone by now. Also usually rather clumsily done, with black and white morality.

The LN actually handled the latter pretty well; og heroine is the same person as in the game at heart, but because of Yumiella the boys never let her do anything so she won't get hurt, and she never has to grow as a person. On top of that, this level grinding session deeply traumatizes her, so she ends up being an extremely scared girl that attacks Yumiella after the demon lord is defeated so that she can't use her absurd power to destroy the world. This leads to a later arc where she's tasked with training to be the nation's anti-Yumiella tool, and she runs/gets kidnapped to (idr which) a neighboring nation to defend from Yumiella

 

[StormSen]

Yes. In the afterword Volume 4 the author even talks about how she’s frustrated at seeing how good the manga version of Alicia is and wishes she had that version.

That's not quite true.
The author uses a prolonged "cooking desert" metaphor, and sort of says that she is mildly jealous of the version of Alicia in the manga. She does not go so far as to say "I wish I had done it that way.". And it's not clear if the author actually means "I wish I was better at comedy."

The author then goes on to talk about writing certain types of characters, and ends up saying something that I disagree with, and where IMO, the author's "amateurness" results in a better story.
