I Shall Survive Using Potions!

[DrWhoCares]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention.
We're currently caught up to the raws guys.

Chapter 20 will be out in like a little less than a month.

Did someone change the description? I don't remember it sounding that much like a troll desc. Although, admittedly, it is mostly not wrong.

_{IIRC she did not skillfully convinced the higher-being that caused the "Degradation Mode" accident into giving her any powers. She convinced another higher being to do that.}

@DrWhoCares - thanks for the update mate.

Deleted the troll part and restore the original description, if the trolls continue i'll report to the administrators (poke @ixlone) and the page will be probably blocked.
Is simple, if you don't like the content just drop it and stop to ruin it for the rest of people who don't care about such content and enjoy the serie for what it is, thanks you.

Y'know.
Not going to lie.
That was me.

I was given a paragraph of Japanese and was told it was the synopsis. And it was, because it matched the one that already existed. They asked me to retranslate it because "delusional stories" sounded weird.
I was told by someone who lived in Japan, the most natural English translation was "bullshit".

長瀬香(ながせかおる)は、会社からの帰りに謎の現象に巻き込まれて死亡した。
その原因となった高次生命体がデグレードモードであるのをいいことにうまく言いくるめ、『思った通りの効果のある薬品を自由に生み出す能力』と若返った身体を貰って異世界に！
少し、いや、かなり目付きがキツい１５歳の女の子カオル、生活の安定を目指して異世界で頑張ります！
え、平民は貴族の気紛れで何をされるか分からない？
デマカセと妄想話で煙に巻いて逃げ切ろう！
聞いてた話とちょっと違うよ、女神さま！

Kaoru Nagase got caught up in a mysterious phenomenon and died on her way home from work.
She skillfully convinced the higher-being that caused the "Degradation Mode" accident into giving her "The ability to create any potion with any effect I can think of", and to be revived in the other world with her younger-self's body!
Kaoru, who’s now a rather sharp-eyed 15 year old girl, will work hard for a peaceful life in another world!
Eh? As a commoner she doesn't understand the fickle actions of nobles?
She'll escape trouble using the power of bullshit and made-up stories!
This is different from what you told me, Goddess-sama!

@DrWhoCares
Lol! Well, it isn't wrong (though by god it sounds like a troll desc). We will need to look into the usage of the word, bullshit has a negative connotation to it. If the word in in Japanese is also not the most appropriate language to use in a normal polite/non degrading dialog, then bullshit it is.
I can't read japanese worth crap, and have no knowledge whatsoever of what the original word means. But assuming it is just another way to say made-up(and doesn't have a strong negative connotation to it like bullshit), I will offer these as possible alternatives
fabricated, imaginary, fictional
exaggerated, pretentious, unrealistic
extravagant

she skillfully convinced the higher-being that caused the "Degradation Mode" accident into giving her "The ability to create any potion with any effect I can think of"

This part really doesn't sit well with me, and only partially because I have no clue what "Degradation Mode" refers to.

She did get the god of her world, the one who killed her, to promise her cheat abilities. However, he could not give them to her since he was not in charge of the world she was to reincarnate in.
The goddess of the world she did reincarnate in did promise her this ability. This goddess was in a "dumb-ified" state, intentionally lowering her intelligence level so that she could talk with Kaoru. This is the reason Kaoru believes the goddess agreed to give her these obviously OP skills.

If the higher-being refers to the goddess, then I question what accident this goddess caused. The only thing I think it could refer to is the overly reduced intelligence level. But as this was intentional (but overdone), the word "accident" doesn't sit well and saying she caused it, though not wrong, seems odd.("firefish5000 caused himself to jump....). Something more along the lines of
'She skillfully convinced the higher-being that was in "Degradation Mode" into giving her'
would flow better.

In the off chance that it refers to the other god who killed her (in a distorted or possibly degraded region of space), then something is definitely wrong.
If you didn't change this part of the description, please consider it. (and if I am the only one who doesn't think this is wrong, let me know and I will reread)

@DrWhoCares - You aren't at fault here, was someone else who used a trolling post about war crimes or other ridiculous personal statements in the description, probably you didn't notice it. Btw, the manga page tab is now blocked so the problem is no more.

 

[DrWhoCares]

@Nick86

Ohh. Oh yeah I didn't do that then. Cool.

 

[DrWhoCares]

Oh yeah, @firefish5000 ,
It says the word in question, which I put as "bullshit", and says "and made-up stories."
デマカセ + と + 妄想話

Course if someone else knows Japanese better than I or that other guy I asked, then feel free to lemme know.

Additionally, the part about the Degradation mode:
This is probably just a failure of the synopsis, as far as I can tell at least. It's likely referring to the wrong "higher life-form".
その + 原因 + となった + 高次 + 生命体 + が + デグレードモード
That + cause + became* + higher-order + life-form + が + Degradation mode

その + 原因 + となった is basically, "That was the cause (of)"
高次 + 生命体 is "higher-being", or whatever else you want really
が is a particle that's difficult to explain here, but it's good enough to say that the thing that comes before が is the actual, true subject of the sentence.
デグレードモード might also be how it's referred to in the raws, but I don't know, I haven't looked at the chapter 1 raws.

So basically the sentence is (omitting the rest of the sentence):
Degradation mode that was caused by the higher-order lifeform.

Are we supposed to sympathize with a cult leader who exploits child soldiers and murders remorselessly?
