@gsfds Obviously MC is gonna act like a pansy - he's got 1 HP and will die to literally anything. Especially since he got dragged into that world on the whim of a crappy goddess.

I feel like this was based off of the DnD game of an exceptionally good DnD player that challenged themself with beating their entire campaign with one hp

A honest to God d&d manga with cute grills... The low ratings must be people seething at how slow the releases are. I appreciate the effort it must take to think of all the rule-bound actions of mc.

ratings are underwhelming for the quality of this manga. it's an 8/10 in MD rating.

I could only read 7 chapters. I think its rated accordingly, nothing is really explained and the system/world book is just the mc's plot armor, also the magic and magic power explanation they gave early on seems mistranslated because it's not used in the plot, the leveling up system isn't explained too, he gained skills by leveling up but there was nothing said about stats or mp capacity.

It might be just me but I can't read something that isn't properly explained.

Could be an entretaining read if you just wanna pass the time.

The idea of making a D&D like manga seemed interesting in my opinion but it's just an eh for me. I know I shouldn't think of it like this but I really think of it as a beginner D&D game. The spoiler is just a bit info of how I perceive the characters .

The characters are just so hit and miss for me. The MC is kind of like a DM player. Not a DM but a DM that is also playing a character. He changes whatever he needs to in order to progress his story no matter who he has in his party, all to develop his own story. The paladin girl seems like the kind of player who will stay to their characters believe just really strictly. There's a balance between common sense and just plain stupidity, but that gets semi countered by the MC. Lastly is the elf. She's just there.

I really like the creativity used in this manga regarding spells. Doing things creatively is just like D&D and if they do some legitimate good character development plus more smart plays with the things they have, this manga can get good.

But a cool idea would be a D&D like game that follows a group of friends. It can be a mix of fantasy and highschool life. Like idk how popular of an idea that would be but a story about a group of friends playing D&D having laughs, epic moments and character development seems quite nice.

I agree that a D&D manga is a good concept, but it is in the uncanny valley of close enough that you can draw parallels, but far enough I can't apply the knowledge I acquired from the game
What doesn't help is that I'm an amateur who's first campaign was cut short by Corona

I understand it's being translated by another group. But did you have to change the title too ?
I can understand if the title is wrong. Not wrong don't change it!! Not broke don't fix it.

OK, I believe you. It's funny how sometimes. A title changes after a different group takes over.

My opinion, just like assholes everybody has one.
The title should remain the official title not the alternate one. Country of origin has a big bearing on what it should be. Somethings just don't translate very well like Russian into almost any pacific rim nation. One time I mentioned the change. Next day it went back. In that case the main title was the correct one. It was very obvious except to the person who made the change. In the case of Japanese titles, it maybe hard but you can learn a thing or two. I am learning Japanese by watching anime. I could recognize the phrase "Neko Sama" saw the subtitle show "Shrine Princess". Wrong should have shown "Cat God". He did not say "Miko Hime". If you want to hear the flub, "No Game, No Life" last episode season 1 on Crunchyroll. Sorry for the keyboard diarrhea, I get on a roll sometimes. Besides the "Cat God" sure didn't look to be a virgin. "Miko" per-requisite virgin.

The official English translation is a little bit further ahead than the scanlations, but it's a bit difficult to estimate how far since the chapter lengths aren't uniform. The newest volume collects "Pages 11 -17," which are MD chapters 20 thru 30+.
Not counting the volume bonuses, Vol 3 ends 41 pages ahead of the final panel of chapter 30. I'd estimate this converts to three chapters, for those able and willing to purchase it.

Using D&D settings and generics for a fantasy manga is fine. But the blatant copying of 3.5ed stats and rules, while also lacking any reasonable explanations of how those apply, just annoys me. The worst bit so far is how they tried to incorporate daily spell limitations... Ffs that exists as a game balance thing so spellcasters arent too op compared to other classes, and the actual in-game reasoning revolves around the fact that you have to spend mana AND keep the extremely complicated verbal mumbojumbo and finger wiggling fresh in your memory (after youve spent the requisite effort to learn and comprehend those spells in the first place). Here, theres no explanation or reasoning given at all.

This has potential, but the worldbuilding is too reliant on the reader already having a comprehensive understanding of how D&D works. Flesh this stuff out more, at least explain the quirks that you put into the story. Or cut out the D&D rules info and just use the setting material. Frankly, that would make this a lot more immersive.
