Isekai Meikyuu no Saishinbu o Mezasou - Vol. 3 Ch. 11 - The 20th Floor Seeks You. Before This Body Melts and Washes Into The Darkness III

[Oneesamaa]

MC cheated his way during all the fight so it's a bit disappointing. But at least it seems it'll have some bad effect on him later.

 

[bosbarret]

Fighting against a newbie and calling it exciting are just not right. A good fight should be one between people of the same status.

 

[Koyomiya]

Overall not a very interesting story and development so far, but what the series is good at is keeping you interested because of the mysteries behind the premise and the characters.

 

[budifelt]

DIAAAAAA!!!

 

[black_knight69]

well i guess she'll die then

 

[Kampfarsch]

well shit

 

[Degernase]

Explain page 19-20 to me. He used all his magic on the ice spell, his mp gauge says 0 and yet the next page he starts casting a bunch of spells again?

 

[Falador]

So much for 23 magic getting you to the 100th floor.

 

[0riginal]

Another manga where logic bends to the will of the plot. As usual, the MC and other characters just suddenly decide they can and either escape or win miraculously.

 

[skibble]

yeah cool

The author doesn't know how to write a battle maniac and he doesn't have to look far for an example. One of the most famous anime characters ever is a battle maniac. Goku. Or for something closer to home Kelvin. A battle maniac doesn't kidnap people who are clearly weaker than them to act as a punching bag they seek out enemies equal to or greater than them and while yes the MC is probably too strong for just being on like the 5th floor he hadn't even passed the 10th yet.

One armed mage

Dam this is stupid and horribly written/displayed.
Shows him completely empty of mana -> continues to use spells anyway.
The ??? Skill at first conveniently waits long enough for him to wail, beg for mercy and display his pathetic weak mentality. But instantly activates for the rest of the fight.
There is also the fact that depriving him of vision somehow disturbs his dimension magic, while it earlier was shown to not require vision and in fact maybe even be enhanced without it.

On the 9th page of the next chapter it becomes explained as casting from HP instead of MP (a relatively common game mechanics, especially in roguelike games).

However, I wholeheartedly agree that such things look much better when explained (or at least foreshadowed) beforehand.

 

[Seraphus]

Good.

About fucking time that dipshit lost her arm.

Whaaa! I'm OPAF with magic an I duwanna... whaaa...!
I'mma be a swordboi! Even if you die because of my ego! Cos I duwanna!
Fucking mental and emotional infant; grow up.

I can only guess that this "Dia" character is added for the reader to despise, as there is no chance to identify with them.
Huh; just like the MC, actually...

Hey, what do you call it when the author writes characters that have no qualities with which the reader might empathize?

It's called "Medium Talent," or more commonly, "Bad writing."

Hey I'm not tryna call you put or anything, but what games?

I'm admittedly old, but I've been playing video games since Super Mario Bros, and I'm ot sure I've ever played a video game with that mechanic.
I've allowed it for my players as a DM (and asked for it as a player) for D&D, WhiteWolf, ICE/LOTR, and Palladium; but... I've never played a game where it was standard.

Was this in PC games that I simply haven't played?

I'm curious because, while it's used in some manga, I've never played a game where that was actually a thing.

“You are one of today's lucky 10000” (however, that number of ≈10000 is a local US thing and here we have a more global community, hopefully).

Try Ancient Domains of Mystery and then NetHack.

I mean... killer XKCD reference, for sure... but...

NetHack?!
I'm suddenly remembering having a JavaMug over my face in the chatroom...
