Isekai Walking - Vol. 4 Ch. 30 - Head-to-Head Battle

[SpecialProjectY]

This series without Sora won't be the same.
Dammned!

They did a "Marvel ending", wait after the credits roll...

 

[AMetroid]

Aww you should have ended the chapter with a "THE END?".

 

[SpecialProjectY]

Aww you should have ended the chapter with a "THE END?".

*
"Isekai Walking will return in chapter 31"

 

[sanctuary]

I'll pretend he died and this is actually the end.

 

[ZaxaPac]

I suppose the joke ending would have been a bit easier to pull off if MangaDex didn't show that the Publication is still ongoing on the main page for the manga.

 

[feha]

Petition that you stop translating this manga here, and that mangadex bans any group from continuing either.

The world would be much better if all stories that has cliffhangers where mc is near death, or actually dies, were forcefully ended at that point by their publishers or translators.

edit: apparently ppl are saying that the story becomes awful later... so seems my joke-ish petition holds more water than I expected

 

[kaminomikan]

for a moment I thought the tl was dropping it...

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

Should have been the end.

 

[stavekoff]

fuckers you almost got me XD

 

[TwisterJR]

Yeah, like hell he's gonna die

 

[Diagus]

Next Boss

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the translation!

 

[Figu]

Aight, the fight was a lot more realistic than I thought it would be, neato!

 

[xTuffman]

I honestly thought that at the brink of doom, some sort of really OP AF skill or power would "wake up" inside of him and make him one hit kill the tigerwolf.

Do you really want to know? Which arc?

Non-spoiler summary is WN is R15+, which you wouldn't get from reading the manga thus far.

People are in for some tonal whiplash.

Spoiler: General trends, not events

TL;DR: Series undergoes a lot of "tonal shifts". Like his "Walking" skill becoming irrelevant [JP WN comments/reviews on Kakiyomu point this out]. Manga being fluffy at the start will make that shift worse. I have concerns how they will adapt the WN's basic plot into Manga form without off-putting their original "happy-go-lucky adventure / SoL" audience.

As best as I can recall (it's been months): becomes your standard "Kingdom is actually evil, demons are the good guys". But it was interesting up to and including this point; it was well-executed. Kingdom was involved in a lot of unethical things, that I don't want to type out. Including how they were summoned, and what happens to summoned people. Slavery. Mind control collars. Generational stuff. Eugenics. One of the characters that joins them. And content of some of MC's adventures and who he meets up until then (and what happened to them/missions they are on). Orcs. Absolute slap on wrist (plotwise) for Kingdom involved.

It got a bit gritty. I'm not sure how they are going to adapt it into a PG8 romance-adventure-comedy manga. Let's just say MC here dodged a bullet by being thrown out, and potentially much worse. The slice of life you see here with the two girls is actually mild, and sets a lot of his goals and objectives for later on. (Yes, the girls DO eventually accomplish their objective with MC's help. At least the Kingdom arc was tied off.)

When it got worse: a lot of artificial drama with forced villain of the goddess. Author wasted a lot of text trying to justify it. But it basically boils down to "she ruined the world and made it a living hell (orcs, etc) because she was lonely". Since other gods went down to world, to live with their races. Somehow expected this as justification for her behavior. Something about her power source, megalomaniacal behavior, and sudden (failed) heel-face-turn trying to protect said source.

I stopped reading when it became a "collect the plot tokens in each dungeon across the world to undo the damage she caused". The justifications were too shallow. And the Dungeon chapters (remember: tonal shift) dragged in all arcs, and realized I tended to simply skip them a lot. Even if his Walking skill gets power-scaled out, spending entire chapters about "Dungeon diving" in a "travel the-world-and-see-what's-different adventure novel" was off-putting. And I'm not even sure if there was progress in the romance sub-plot.

Thanks for the writeup! honestly doesn't sound terrible, I'm bored enough lol

 

[GolfAlphaMike]

He ded?

 

[uppercase]

Maybe he's in a coma and the rest of the manga is a dream

 

[gdp740]

I wonder if our mc can farm skill points on a wheelchair

 

[wankerLin]

Finally new season, Isekai Running now.

When the very word that was put in the title, "Walking", becomes irrelevant, the whole thing become questionable
