@MrFakOff Fking finally. But I get the feeling no other slave will top off Roxanne.
Dude strike jackpot with her, I can't complain he didn't compelled to do what the title says sooner.
@labanina thanks for the correction, still doesnt change the fact that this publication isnt committing in anything in regard of story telling, it isnt doing enough to be hentai and the actual story is lacking because of the constant sex scenes, you may call it shit taste but when i read manga i tend to want a good story with the ocasional fan service not porn with plot, there are better sites and publications for that.
@Kuroageha i dont mind a dungeon grinding slice of life, the problem for me is that the slice of life stuff is just sex lately, they explore almost nothing of the city or anything no dungeon related and he is just became a salaryman in other world, he just goes to the dungeon, returns home and have sex everyday with a rare visit of the town, they could use some time to explore the world but they use that time to have great focus in their sex life.
@zeroxjac You said it all ! this isn't going anywhere, i'm sad cause the art is pretty good but there is no evolution at all, ok it's a slow life/slice of life but come on, this is just 10% "dungeon" and 90% sex --' They don't seems to developpe... in my eyes it's a unassumed hentai honestly
i personally like it still, and from reading the light novel i can tell you that...
The smut is not going to go away anytime soon.
The skill crystal is however the start of the next arc, so it might be a bit less of it for awhile....maybe....
the smut is basically a daily ritual he does both when waking up and going to bed, so its never ever going to stop.
But the manga is probably going to start to focus more on the story progression at least for a little bit more.
And
the next girl.
The next arc is her introduction arc, every new girl (yes this is a harem manga after all) gets a arc to themselfs where you get to explore her personality and unique skill sets.
Even if that also includes adding her to the harem and bedding her multiple times along the way.....
Next arc is about....
A dwarf girl who he plans on training into a smith, So she can help with crafting ( mostly enchanting equipment ) and to make money outside of dungeon diveing.
The skill crystal is what makes him choose this particular girl.
This previous arc was mostly about the MC learning about the world and deepening his relationship with Roxanne, a lot of worldbuilding was skipped for some extra smut tho, but the more important parts were at least there.
Most of the things that was skipped is related to how the guild works, how other people wiev skills and how they work and IIRC a tiny bit about the world map / kingdoms etc etc.
( you get more of that later on when he actually leaves this first dungeon to explore the world )
@Goldenzeal That ritual is kinda the problem. He is prurient to the exclusion of the world around him. He only goes out to buy or sell and he treats people like NPCs. Oh, 30% again ho-hum. Which is fine to an extent, that's who this MC is. It's frustrating, though since I've been waiting since the chapters that got deleted for the MC to realize that the fact that he knows how many sockets are in a thing means he knows how many enchantments a thing can take. Then there is the dungeon which is so, so sterile and boring. Everything is a straight path, enemies are incongruously cartoonish and separated into fun sized encounter groups, dead people evaporate leaving a fresh lemon scent. We aren't going to question this, that's just how the game is. The story felt like it had a lot more promise when there was some focus on the people of the alternate world. There are literal criminal classes? That's neat! I wonder how theyNOPEaquiretitties.
@zeroxjac you've only yourself to blame for holding "good story" expectations for a series literally called SLAVE HAREM LABYRINTH. It really catches the essence of it. There's nothing in it but dungeon autism, cooking and breaking in new slaves.
Of course you're welcome to walk into anything that reeks of mindless smut from miles away, and be vocally indignant about how your plot expectations were betrayed.
Though that wouldn't be, you know, the smartest thing to do.
