Isekai Kaeri no Yuusha wa, Dungeon ga Shutsugen shita Genjitsu Sekai de, Influencer natte Kane wo Kasegimasu! - Ch. 18

[ItsThatBriGuy]

I kind of hope the childhood friend turns it around, because she doesn't seem evil - just ditzy and self centered.
Anyone care to spoil what mainly happens with her?

After all the stuff in her golddigger arc and her sex-crazed arc, the commie agitator she partners with to cheat new adventurers out of big-time yen with "training" that's inferior to what MC puts online for free manages to get several of those newbies killed on level 1 by cutting costs with trainers who lack even the basic adventurer trait, she and her parents are arrested for complicity in their deaths. Displaying the same type of maturity seen here, she busts out of stir, kills her parents, charters a plane to a newly emerged zombie dungeon, blows up the plane and the pilot after she's dropped off there, and plans to lie in wait for her CF to track her down and kill him. Unfortunately, the boss there is way too OP for her to handle and kills her instantly, absorbing her consciousness.

"Sorry, but please don't contact me anymore."

Outstanding move, MC!

Thank you for the update.

Exactly! If only this was the course of action from all MCs in these kinds of situations =0v. I really like that he slowly started to dislike her over the years because of her attitude, since at first she was his precious friend and their relationship was really good. And he was hanging on by a thread simply because her mother asked him to stay friends, even though she knew her daughter was becoming a bit incorrigible. But when she crossed a line, he was firm enough to cut contact with her. What's more, now that he's in the special class, she can't look down on him(though even with her personality and how he felt about her at that time feelings about her[which wasn't good], he wanted to make sure she was put into A-class if her 'grades' were worthy enough). Now he's in the class with the 3 good girls; she definitely lost out =0v

 

[Nivek]

Well, she will occasionally appear atleast until her gold digger arc showed up(if it's not changed)

I see but seems will be lesser than now and for the best

 

[namingwrongs]

These stories have either harem protagonists or monks sadly, where’s the normal sweet monogamous couples?

How do you define these stories? If you only include stories where someone got isekaied and returned, I don't know too many of them. If just fantasy is okay, there are Yuusha to Yobareta Nochi ni and Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence(This one skips a lot here. It's probably the stuff that's included in the anime). For modern without fantasy there's Orenchi no Maid-san. If you don't mind yuri it's monogamous more often than not to the point I wouldn't bother to list them.

Thanks for the chapter.

I really really hope all that stuff you wrote is just trolling, because it would really make me sad if the author's writing skills withered away so dramatically like you seem to indicate.

If anything beyond the first spoiler is actually true, then yikes. Not only is that a super-radical departure from how the character was depicted in the handful of chapters, but it seems to be a bizarre level of corruption and downfall for someone whose only crime was being teenager unable to responsibly cope with suddenly being granted extraordinary powers.

Then again, this whole story seems to be some kind of satire on the whole genre coupled with an indictment of modern society, so maybe the author thinks it's funny? I guess we'll see if this manga avoids the axe long enough.

 

[VintageCatalyst]

Has there ever been a good "bitch" character? Every time a series has one I just wish they would fuck off and die off screen, they're so annoying and their plots are so contrived

disclaimer : the spoiler is about stuff I read from the free webnovel version of this tale that is still online.


That wasn't a troll. A summary of her crap is mentioned in from chapter 48 of nearly 300 chapters. And that one confirms everything that he said.

 

[MegaAtomic]

Watching Kayoko's personality shift was pretty interesting

 

[versub]

MC really can't lie to save his life

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thnks for the chapter!

Thanks for the chapter.

Thnks for the chapter!

You're welcome

Childhood friend is irresponsible about her own action and act as a spolied child, but she's not the first character to act like this. Generally, others characters like MC in general will work for teach them to be better persons, in combination to necessary drama events for allow to theses same characters to grow up as good people.

Sure, Childhood friend seems beyond redemption and MC will understandy see her as a lost cause. However, i think that MC should have at least try to help her to recognize errors of her ways and lead her to the good path for a time, even a little, before decides to abbandon her to decadence. It will avoid to Childhood Friend to become a worse person and allow her to make irredeemable actions,

Spoiler

if the manga follow the same path like webnovel and light novel about her fate.

From my perspective from i read from beginning to now, MC also has a share of responsibility

Spoiler

for her eventual fall

for easily abandon her to her hubris without really trying to correct her. If he had done so, she probably could have avoided

Spoiler

a dark fate.

Even knowing humanity nature in general and acting understandy about his interactions with like any cynic anti-heroes, it seems rather cruel to easily abbandon to theirs fates closes relationships like his childhood friend.

 

[VersVlees]

Watching Kayoko's personality shift was pretty interesting

Makes me wonder how fast one's personality shift happens once you get adventures traits. Kayoko didn't really change until she got traits. In the first chapters she was still that cute next door girl childhood friend. Pretty sure she was only attracted to that dude because he had adventure trait as well.

The other world knows how to deal with useless adventures for a reason.

 

[bramhistory]

MC is a bit weird, he show composure and maturity when it related to dungeon stuff or skills and power but totally became a teenager when he got hurt by a girl.
Like, isn't his mental age is around 25years old? But a SINGLE girl hurt him and he goes "my hatred for other women is only growing", it's not like he got cucked by 10 girls or anything sheesh.

I can understand if he's still unstable 15yo but he's an adult and like other comment mention he could try to explain and guide Kayoko to proper path, he have the means and power to do so but "nooo Kayoko make a mistake and I will just ditch her, the girl who stay with me during my parents death and even after that is dead to me now".

Seriously the author seems confused with MC mental age due to his teenage physical body.

 

[Junomano]

I know, but he acts very childish and whimsical.

I've reread the chapter and the part where he accuses Kayoko of being childish is the definition of "pot meet the kettle". Ryoji was most likely handheld throughout entirety of his otherworldly adventure. I believe even in some parts of the manga it was mentioned that he did as was asked. So, he basically had a guide telling right from wrong since day one and as far as the manga has shown us so far - He hardly tested anything by himself. And the part of him trying out his killing intent is a great show of that.

Meanwhile, there is nobody to explain these things to Kayoko. And I imagine the same is more or less true of other adventurers as seen by the priest guy believing to himself that it's alright to be hit a [Killing Intent]. Now after rereading the chapter, I can clearly state that my problem lies solely with Ryoji, he is far too immature for his age and can't comprehend how other people see things. It'd be fine if he stayed away from everyone and enjoyed power tripping, but since he chose to meddle with other people's affairs. I hope we see him mature, otherwise it looks to me like he will do more harm than good in the long run.

i see your point, you are indeed right, his character is still a bit flawed but at least not in a bad way, which makes reading this manga very interesting

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

After all the stuff in her...

I'm with that other guy - I really hope this is changed up for the comic/LN, because honestly this seems like trash.
Like I said, she seems self centered, not evil, it just seems like too much of a departure from her character.

Though maybe the writing will make it totally believable for her character, but it just seems kind of sad and wasteful for her character.
Thanks for the spoilers though, appreciated!

 

[Kefrayba]

He tuned her out like Makoto from Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu. 😂

The way the author handles Kayako was my biggest gripe with the WN. It's done horribly. He says stuff like he tried to help her or whatever but he helped her less than he did total strangers. She and her mom are the closest things to a family he had left and he's leaving them to their demise. I feel worried for what's going to happen next. I hope it's not as bad though compared to the WN. He really should have level drained her or revealed he was strong from the beginning. It's weird how he says he cares but the easiest and simple way for him to make sure she's fine is to train her.

A lot of OP MC in these kinda stories have this repulsion to help raise their family members or friends. That one Avalon manga did it right. The MC in that one isn't hiding his expertise from his family and is making sure they're able to level up and survive on their own without him. The author is forcing it too hard to make kayoko go down a bad end m it's obvious.

 

[ankiwi]

Ah yes, it's fine when he does it and can't control his emotions despite knowing about killing intent but when Kayako does it it's such an unforgivable thing.
