Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra: Hametsu no Bunmei de Hajimeru Sekai Seifuku - Ch. 28 - Regicide

[Shiromon]

you know, at this point I'd usually drop it, long and boring arc incoming, manga releases at a glacial pace, will likely take years to get through, but by the time a new chapter releases I've already forgotten most of the relevant info and any attachment I had to the story or characters is long gone, and nothing seems to hook me back in. Guess I'll keep going anyways.
Thanks for the release

villain girl’s master is also a player but one playing D&D and as the GM he can keep rolling the dice til he gets a Nat 20. Ataou was brainwashed by their critical role and will Be a villain this entire arc.

This is not how how D&D works at all!
1st: You cannot persuade a NPC to kill their friend, family, person of importance to them. It is a skill check not magic. No matter how many Nat20 rolled.
2nd: There is only 1 spell that could make Atou behave like this right this instance, Dominate Monster. But that would at max work for 8 hours.
3rd: And this is the biggest shit of them. A DM cant roll for Players and he DEFINITELY cant do anything at all himself(cast spells, use skills etc.) as he does not exist in the world. He does do rolls for NPCs and controlls their behaviour though.

This manga does a great job of making you want to drop it and not at the same time

 

[JaneJeon]

Ah, thus begins my favourite arc. Can't wait to see Takuto

Spoiler

go apeshit and leave the readers confused as to whether the "Takuto" we know is actually him or "someone" with the memories of Takuto

 

[BigPoppaEffy]

Cool. Can't wait for the anime

 

[Seinvolf]

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

The spell bypass the system n got a guaranteed hit, I just hope she can only use it for a limited target...
(OωO`)...

 

[ClevrRaven]

Shiiiii... just when I about and forget this exists, a wild interesting chapter appears out of nowhere. Well, see you in 3 years when 10 chapters drop and this whole ark is translated.

 

[XNFEdayo]

Welp I'm just guessing, but I guess the cute saint and this monster girl will die horribly in the future

Yeah, I don't need to read ahead to know that Atou is going to utter dissemble that little girl probably while keeping her alive unless for whatever damn reason he stops her.

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

Can anyone rate this arc from 1 lizard arc to 10 lizard arcs?

It's not D&D they're using, it's an off-brand tabletop RPG that's near universally reviled in Takuto's original world because the rulebook is complete and utter garbage. Takuto being the munchkin that he is, takes full advantage of this later.

Okay, I feel like reading this comes with two major issues. 1) The author's power scaling is bonkers. Like we start off with an MC that appears OP but still plays by rules that make sense and seems fair. And then we're introduced to multiple sets of BS rules that piss me off just hearing about. 2) The story the author wants to tell (or seems to) and that readers (or at least I) want to read doesn't match up. The series has presented itself as being one about world building and country management from the start. That's the premise I hopped into. Not this BS isekai battle arena between different game types. If the author has always wanted to write that story then I argue it should have been clear from chapter one. For the longest it's felt like the country management I want to read has taken second fiddle to the machinations of a bunch of various game systems and powers I don't care about. Like we JUST ended the last arc with this BS and the stupid cutscene death. Since then it's felt like I've seen more of the saint and annoying child than I have of our main crew. And now IMMEDIATELY we have to deal with more BS that apparently lasts quite a while.

And then the Manga updates take so painfully slow and according to comments this last a fat minute. I wish I had dropped this back when I still enjoyed it. I mean I don't know why I would have, but it'd mean I'd feel less frustrated now.

Hoh. It was that easy huh.
So the squad isn't exactly OP.
So in the end, it will always be a hardcore battles between the players.
Suddenly i missed OP MC and his OP squad plot even though it's overused.

It would be nice to have some more back and forth if the series insists on becoming this "battle of the OP isekai'd game types". It feels like it's always a stomp one way or the other. But never an actual interesting portrayal of two equal powers with very different powerful abilities ducking it out on a nation vs nation level.

The kindle version is only like $8 and goes well beyond this point

Spoiler

the nut’s boss is also a player in this game but for D&D and his ability let’s him get a guarantee Nat 20 on everything he does, so he’s a god who can control any outcome and basically just did a persuasion check to make Atou join her side. She’ll be an enemy for the rest of this arc

Everyone is OP in this series but in a different way and they all play by WILDLY different rules which often counter each others op abilities

Ugh, I hate that.

Spoiler

Brainwashing a character for that long is just fridging but in a far more frustrating way where you see a beloved character do disgusting things that breach loyalty except that can't be blamed and it does nothing to further their character or show a complex personality. Honestly it's one of my least favorite tropes in writing because you've just succeeded in making a 2d puppet often just for shock value. They don't get development and none of their personality or character is on the line. Following the event they just get apologized to/for and feel bad about what they did with everyone telling them they had no control. I'd rather someone choose to betray and turn on their allies. At least in that case we see them wrestle with it and what they chose builds more layers to their character and there's so many interesting storylines after that (potdntially; bad writing is always easier than good). This sounds like for an entire arc the literal second character we were introduced to (the character I consider as the second only to the MC in terms of how main character they are) is just completely off the board for the foreseeable future (probably 1 to 2 years if not more at this slow rate) . I BARELY EVEN KNOW HER CHARACTER AS IS.

Wait, what? Mind control? But she isn't a witch is she?

Ah man, this is going to be a mess isn't it...

Oof, I just read the intro for volume 5 of the light novel...

Spoiler

It’s time for the King of Ruin, prophesied as the Apocalypse-bringer, to bring the world to its knees!

Welp, that is going to be a thing.

Spoiler

You know judging from that, I guess the events of this arc (especially compounding the events of the last arc) really propel the MC into something he doesn't really intend to and is prophesized to be. We have seen him show... tendencies that put him at being not completely let's say... well, not completely well (mentally and emotionally). I can imagine something as massive as having Atou brainwashed (who has been his constant since the start of the series and his isekai) and assumably the nation directly attacked really throws him over the edge.

That does kinda make sense for moving the series forward, but it still sounds like this arc is way WAY too long if that's the purpose of it (just to push the MC over the edge and have him go full conquest). Also like this could have been led into much better.

Writing this long behind comment has helped me de-stress over it. I think honestly I'm just going to drop this. Maybe I'll check out the LN and just skip to the end of this arc. Because I don't want to read something so vastly different from what I was interested in from the first chapter and I don't want to have to wait who knows how long to see if maybe this series gets back on track to what I started reading it for.

I actually kinda like that. So anyway, it's revealed shortly into this arc and the situation is resolved in like 6 chapters max right? RIGHT?!

 

[Zet1502]

This arc is long as fuck in the novels. at this pace, this arc will take years to finish in the manga.

We can read it after No Game No Life season 2 drops

 

[crunchyspider]

Yay for more!

 

[Salfaro]

Is Atou actually considered a witch by this world's mechanical standards? I thought that way at the start it was mentioned that she was essentially just thought to be one, because this world has no concept of the players and their subordinates (leading them to believe that what was going on in the forest must be a witch's doing).

But also, that was years ago at this point, so I could see her just counting as a witch anyway.

 

[AfroedMangareader]

Biggest mistake wasn't attack him it was taking his Atou

It's not D&D, it's some TTRPG-like game for author's convenience. D&D name was thrown out because that the most well-known.

Also...

Spoiler

The player with 'DM powers' is abusing his 'position as DM' like no tomorrow, MC will use that fact to turn the tables on him at the end of the arc.

Witches are just the subordinate game characters/units under a player like MC. So yes, Atou is a witch.

Let me get this straight. This world is governed by gods who enjoy shitty off-brand near universally reviled games? And perhaps only Takuto's game is the one worth playing?
