Isekai Cheat Survival Meshi - Vol. 13 Ch. 62

[Miserys_End]

So why are the walls so big, to keep any possible invader out? Or,.. prevent anyone from escaping?

To keep the monsters out. iirc they are  bog big and dino shaped.

Not that I can't see the creepy vibes the chief is giving off, but a lot of it does make sense. Given that the MC is stronger then most adventurers(read plot armor), and still had troubles dealing with the mobs on the traveling island, it does make a lot of sense that other travelers would experience rather harsh conditions and a low survival rate. And I imagine they didn't have the benefit of using the safe house built into the middle of the island.

OTOH I almost wana call BS on them cleaning the island of all traces of fallen travelers. Not just because it's covered in a fuxing jungle filled with monsters, but those doing the cleaning would have a limited ammount of time and need protection while doing it. Just feels like more effort and trouble then it's worth.

hmmmm still kinda sketchy...

I don't buy it. Sure, lower survival rate, but the way he's describing it makes it seem like they all have a common health pool, and when they've lost enough health for one person, then one person dies, and when they've lost half their health half of them have died.

Survival rates are generally the highest when everyone's are alive, and the lowest when only one is alive. They also all get worn down roughly equally much, and if one person gets injured they'll drag everyone down.

(Also, it's "...stronger than....")

I get what you mean, but you're thinking backwards in this case. As the adventurers are not srong enough, most groups will be a total wipe while occasionally there will be survivor or two. So it's not that they were strong enough to fight the monsters, they were just lucky enough to avoid the mobs till they arrived.

MC and harem were able to arrive hale and hardy because of the MC strength coughplotarmorcough and having someone who could open the maoru shelter in the middle of the island.

Typo is my first and only language...

 

[hullmat991]

Bean spaghetti and bean salad certainly sound... Unique?

Well the night will certainly be "fragrant" after they go to sleep after they ate so much beans.

 

[APlatypus]

I hope someone else is feeding the Mangaka.

 

[d_a_renoir]

Something about this feels sus as hell, despite the positive vibes and very logical explanation.

 

[Seraphus]

I dunno why, but something feels off in their explanation about suppressing information (with getting rid of travel journals of adventurers) and their apparent lack of problem with adventurers wanting to leave the place.

Well, if they're actually dedicated to this, then to bury the journal with its owner is entirely fine with respect to their need for discretion.

As long as the other stuff is true, anyway.

Thus far, everybody who has survived hasn't been willing to risk their survival a second time; that makes sense...

They almost died with a group of five people, spending THREE MONTHS fighting for survival every day!
Watching their friends die, seeing them maimed and eaten.

And to do that a second time, but with only Two or Three teammates?

Nobody would ever consider going back; are you people high?!

 

[FloraQueen156]

Or it may be because of the TL credit page in the middle

I didn't notice that-

 

[FloraQueen156]

Hmmm putting your credits page in the middle is technically against the rules. But i'm not reporting it.... this time.

That stuff gets reported?

 

[Bloddrake]

That stuff gets reported?

There is literally a pre-made report reason about putting your group credits in the middle of a chapter. according to the site rules they are only supposed to be in the beginning and end.

 

[Rioz]

It's weird that only two of each group reaches them consistently. It's like it's harder for people to survive if there are more of them. It'd be more expected to have more where everyone survives, or everyone wipes.

And then, after the meeting, we're once again reminded that this is a cooking manga.


Wouldn't that be garika oil?

well, if there are more people, there are more mouths to feed. In a place where everything is uncertain, finding enough food for everyone would be challenging. MC is very lucky to have the ability to detect what's edible and what's toxic, as well as the skill to cook anything edible he finds.

 

[Rioz]

That old man is very suspicious.... Everything about the place is shady tbh

 

[AnotherDuck]

But you also have more people to search for food. And to keep watch while others search.

 

[Rioz]

But that doesn't mean that the food you'll get is enough. Unlike MC they're not sure what's edible or not. They can decide whether food is edible or not via looks and smell, however there are edible food despite their unappealing look or smell, it won't always be the case tho. They also don't know how to make safe drinking water, and they don't have MC's Harden, which let's face it, saved him a lot of times.

And most of those problems are easier to overcome if you have more people. If you're alone and you get sick, you're screwed. If you have a few companions, they can help you out until you get better.

not if all of you got sick hours after eating something weird lol. Eating together with whatever you found would most likely mean you all ate the same thing. You can't be choosy if yoy can barely get by. Besides, one of them would surely die immediately from that fast aligator. you see how fast that one leapt at MC? he was only saved by harden, it won't be surprising if it managed to kill one or two before they take it down. All I'm saying is, The chances of a large group or more than a pair of people surviving are extremely low

You can absolutely be choosy if what you're about to eat is poisonous. And if you don't know if something is edible, one person eats it first, then the others eat if it seems safe. Only absolute idiots would all eat something unknown at once.

And all I'm saying is, the chances of a group of people surviving is higher than one or two.
