Boku wa Konyaku Haki Nante Shimasen kara ne - Vol. 3 Ch. 16

[MrGrinns]

This wasn't an axe. The whole series was just a promo/teaser for the full LN/WN. The idea is to give you a taste of the story and characters in an easier-to-read manga format then end after like 1 or maybe 2 story arcs to spur you to go find and read the novels. It's a pretty standard practice and I'd wager that more LN/WN adaptations work like this as opposed to just adapting the whole thing or catching up to the novel and branching off to tell their own story.

As someone else in the thread said, if you see the adaptation tag and you're not already facing a backlog of like 30+ chapters then you have to keep it in your mind that the sudden end "go read the novel for the rest!" ending is always a possibility.

Yeah i dont typically pay attention to tags. Tho ive run into a couple promotional series before and i have to say if they want to guarantee people dont check out their products, this is definitely the best practice. The last thing i want to do after getting a good story yanked out from under me like this is go and check out the writers other works or products, all they do is actively make me want to avoid them in the future. What a waste of time

Thank you so much for bringing it to us until the end!

Thank you for the translation. This was adorable while it lasted.

Kind of a rubbish way to end but oh well.

Reading the spoilers about where this was going left me rather unimpressed; as it seems it's just another OG-FL is a manipulative psycho story.

OG-FL looking at all of the advancements and being like "oh shit, one of them's a reincarnator too" would've, like, made sense? But she's simultaneously obsessed with capturing the prince while not paying any attention to what he's doing?

Maybe it's just as well it ends here.

 

[Sunny_El]

I hate this. Why they cut at a crucial part ? I really want more. 😤😤

 

[Kurokammi]

This was a good read. Thank you for the translation.
I would love to have the continuation, but it seems to be like No Game No Life, an ad.
It's fine, I'm satisfied with what I read.

 

[theartistofsoulbell]

[REDRED]

dammit

MAL list that there is 3 volumes for a total of 17 chapters, not 16, tho.

If you look at the table of contents for volumes 2 and 3, both have omakes which have been left untranslated. Whomever put the chapter count for MAL must have counted chapter 16.5 as chapter 17.

It was short, sweet, and ended on a hopeful teaser. Wish the story went until the end of at least the main story.
Cheers for translating it until the end.


Gotta agree with earlier comments, one regarding it being a bummer that OG-FL didn't seem to realize that there could be another reincarnator, another about it being weird that our main couple interfering with others' relationships could've worked well (aside from the scientist), considering how strong the two's compulsion to act like their in-game versions of selves was before exchanging the vows.

For the former, I think she was way too focused on her end goal.
Or she could've brushed the differences off as the current world being organic or filling in details that could've never been mentioned in the game. Shakespeare's two plays are out there in the wild, after all, and it doesn't seem to be OG-FL's endeavor.
I also believe Selzhus' name should've been Celsius (who in this fictional setting invented alcohol thermometer with a temperature scale that focuses on water's freezing and boiling points, y'know, IRL Celsius scale), and the latter was a character the prince actually met, to my understanding (chapter 15, pages 4-8).

For the latter point... IDK, they can spread the immunity from compulsion by interfering? The prince route is the main/canon story, so others wouldn't be hit as strongly, if at all?

FYI, the cat was there in the game's prologue mentioned by our FL back in chapter 1, which showed how the prince met the OG-FL.



I agree with others regarding making an additional 'ad for a novel version/different medium' tag (since sometimes there could be adaptations that involve a portion of plot from a game, which doesn't go to its end, or works as a prologue, for example).
I don't know if that's still a thing, but there was a time with a sort of 'one-shot adaptation' kind of long strips, that were mostly ads for Korean novels (though I seem to recall at least one of them eventually having a long strip serialization).
An adaptation tag by itself doesn't mean it'll be an ad for the full version elsewhere.

My suggestion would be to have a 'promo/advert/teaser' tag (with one of the options picked), to encompass releases made to never conclude the plot on purpose (which may eventually be serialized, or remain unfinished versions of stories, for an ending/continuation of which you'd have to look outside of the those).
Methinks it'd help with filtering those out if you're not interested.
It's a peeve when you're reading something, and suddenly bam, you're hit with a 'go to source material/completely different medium if you want to see how it concludes' wall.

About as much of a peeve as conflating 'complicated polycule of relationships' (think love triangle or bigger) with 'harem' (multiple parties in a relationship, romantic or physical), especially once a story ends up with romance resolved to be a '1 on 1' relationship. Yeah, a polycule could end up becoming a harem, but it doesn't have to.
At least it's my pet peeve.

Wait a minute A talking fucking cat?

 

[WiseOldKing]

so this was a light novel ad but from what I read in the spoilers it already seemed like we read most of the LN in manga form and theres only bits left over in the school arc?

Sadly they never show the mc sister's husband and child

dang, such a shame, although I guess I did read the WN because of this so it does it job?

Spoiler: what happen after/ for those who want spoiler

For those who want a spoiler of the WN, what happened next is basically Shin and Seara being super chill with everyone at school, never give anyone any reason to bully the heroine so that whole thing never happened in the first place. And because they have been crushing all the other routes the heroine end up more or less alone the entire time they were at the academy. There's also the knight commander son whom is 1 of the capture target and was too proud of his skill end up hating Shin because Shine beating him in a mock duel/tournament.

In the final party where the condemnation is supposed to happened what happened instead was Shin younger brother end up being a secret character that Seara didnt know about so the heroine managed to capture him, so Shin younger brother condemned Seara as not fitting for the throne and Shin for allowing that to happen thus demand Shin to forfeit the throne as well as exilement for both Shin and Seara. His reasoning was Shin was look down by everyone (because no one call Shin by his title/ treated him like a prince, which is what Shin requested of everyone but the little brother didnt know about it) so Seara need to harass the heroine to prop up the prince. However every classmate of Shin and Seara came out and say that's not what happen and disprove the little bro story, the little bro got mad and threaten to exile them all but they dont care, and all the minister of justice, health etc chimed in that those 2 have created so much good for the kingdom via the research for smallpox vaccine and all the other stuff so they absolutely can not be exiled. They proved that the heroine isnt harassed by Seara but instead being harassed by ppl who hate Shin (including the Knight commander child who want to exile Shin because if Shin became king he wont get a chance to became a knight commander anymore since he did tons of bad things like look down on commoner and even Shin when Shin was participating in the tournament while in disguise) because those ppl want the 2nd prince to became king so they have a puppet king instead, and they plan to harass the heroine and blame it on Seara and Shin to exile those 2. Also there's a separate reason why the little bro did that, turn out he is a siscon whom kinda projected his siscon-ness onto Seara and Seara became his first love after his real big sister married into another kingdom. Anyway after the truth was revealed (including his sisconness) the king gave Shin the ability to decide what happened to the acuser, so Shin decided to let everything go because just having the little bro go back to school with everyone already seeing his true face would be embarassment enough, also the heroine was disowned by her noble parents and the kingdom enact some law against her convenient store chain because its disrupting the market and stuff. The WN sorta ended there with Shin telling the viewer that he and Seara have been having "night tryst" for a while now but since when is something only they would know lol

The WN have a bunch of "alternate ending" as well, there's 1 where Shin and Seara dont even bother fighting the allegation and accepted being exile, they just go over to Wiles territory to work there and stay far away from everyone else/politic and stuff. There's 1 where Shin actually fall for the heroine and decided to exile Seara, but absolutely everyone else including the little bro fall for Seara instead so they come together to overthrown Shin instead of exile Seara lol. A bunch of "whatif" like that

Sorry for dragging you back after a year, but can you say what was up with the cat? Was the heroine actually also reincarnated, or was she just getting everything from the cat?
