Imiko to Yobareta Shoukanshi - Vol. 1 Ch. 1.1

@JWChibi yeah, they feel like a level four DND party that just wandered into some dragon's territory on accident. Competent but screwed.

Just as an aside how terrible must they be at managing money that they didn't quit their jobs after grabbing the first fruit? 5% the GDP of a kingdom is a stupid amount of money for what likely amounts fo a high end mercenary.

 

[Silwith]

Feels a bit like they just threw some random english words in and hoped it would make sense to me, dont know, maybe need to read a few times? ...
Could also be the manga itself, I mean, a single fruit that makes up 20% of a countrys budget that can be found by a single adventurer party without deaths? Dont think so

 

[SempiQ]

Yup... Black hair and Eyes is something common in OUR World. But here we are talking about fantasy World which has its own rules. Aaaand i Nazi's won the war then maybe blond hair and blue Eyes would be more common than full black.

 

[Legandbond]

@silwith its a fantasy world so more plausible than common sense

 

[Morose]

@alannondarklord: Yeah "Black" is a really common hair colour in Our World now (it wasn't the same around 300-400 years ago though), but these are Isekai setting with their own rules.

Like for example, on Earth, the Asian Countries have the highest Black Haired people.
So just think of around 300 years ago, in a village full of Black Haired people, a Blonde or White haired child is born, do you think that the people there would have considered that hair colour normal at that time especially when superstitions formed the core of peoples beliefs.
This is just the reverse of that.

Racism based on "Skin Colour", "Hair Colour", etc have existed since ancient times, and even exists now (example being group that follow the notion of "White Supremacy", or Slavery of coloured people during Colonial era).

Look... author, publisher, editor, whoever is responsible for this... don't ever release a partial chapter for your first chapter. Your first chapter is what draws people to your series. You need to make the best impression possible in that first chapter, and if it's cut into pieces and released separately you've already failed.

 

[Beezy]

read the raws for 1.2 and I like this MC already

 

[entity_101]

@Madcat6204 It’s the translation group fault, just look at the last page, there isn’t any of those little boxes “saying continue in the next chapter” or “next chapter will release in day x of month y”

 

[zamu]

What a release. Hope they improve or just replace this one with a full release instead since I'll probably drop it if it's released like this.

 

[Izaya_Onisai]

Never a good sign, when the childhood is skipped...

 

[sjmcc13]

@Madcat6204 : Not really. For you this is the first thing, but you are not the intended audience. Most series with partial chapters are adaptations, and that means that there are 1-2 other sources (LN and possibly WN) that the reader would have been introduced from. They know that they are going to get readers from the people already reading the novels, and since the series is online, they know that people can wait for the next part as long as it comes out regularly, or not come in until it has so much of a reader base/trending rating anyway which would be after the first chapter is finished.

@entity_101 you might want to check the raws before running your mouth like an idiot. ch 1 is split into 2 parts on the raws, this is the first part.

@Izaya_Onisai : based on the web novel ch titles, it looks like it might be told in flashbacks periodically.

 

[entity_101]

@sjmcc13 And what gave you the permission to insult me without any reason, I thought it was the translation group fault by the way the chapter ended without any signal that it was an actual last page

 

[Temeraire]

@morose how black hair wanst normal in roman time.. spaniard and moro also has black hair. Most of indigenous tribus around the world has blackhair. Even in babylon black hair was the norm.

Also nop blonde was never considere a curse. If nothing they were considerate Godly beings... Only red and White and mostly White was considerate bad.

 

[Popesmear]

Excessive editor comments in the white spaces between was the last shitty trend, now we have this fucking crap where chapters are getting chopped up. so god damn annoying.

 

[4cans]

thanks for the chapter

 

[NoMemory]

Ah! Blue balled me, I mean I know it's .1 but didn't think it'll end mid fight

 

[Silwith]

@Legandbond Fantasy does NOT mean nonsensical... it simply weird that something that can be found, without casualities, by a group of 4 people without bigger problems would bring in 20% of a nations budget, that would mean this group just got 60% of their nations budget within about a month or so... the nation would long have formed a army section do get these things on a regular basis if it was that easy, which in turn lessens the worth.
The way other fantasy mangas do it (like: wow, you could live like a noble for 5 years) make more sense, it shows how much worth something is, but doesnt devalue the enormous emount of money it costs to have a government running, even if its less in a mediveal like country then in a modern one (Even the budget of relativly small countries like Portugal would drain Jeff Bezos money in like two years...)

HAS GREEK MYTHOLOGY TAUGHT YOU PEOPLE NOTHING?!


Don't leave your kids on the mountain side, it will come back to bite you in the ass.

@alannondarklord

Why not go for something more original, like making plaid hair the new source of evil. Really break out those crazy screen tones and create an entire league of evil weird hair colors.

Because a complete inversion of a trope is not automatically better than the original trope?

"Born under the red star" (or any other reasonably uncommon natural phenomenon, like a thunderstorm or whatever) - "Borne a murderer" (but then there'd be no mother) - "Borne with the mark of the beast" (any kind of notable birthmark) - "Borne unhale" (in particularly missing a hand or limb, or with a cleft lip or something) - those are traditional reasons, and some of them also visually significant if you want to draw them again (or have people be able to draw attention to it later).

But black hair being bad is probably partially because it's also an easy way to help the reader to self-insert (and partially because it is an inversion of the Japanese trope that "colorful hair is bad" that gets hammered in at school).
