I've Become Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I can't Seem to Get out of Being Jobless - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Even In A Different World, I'm St…

Also, pretty sure in the WN it was explained he needed to show his job to register, and he felt he can't do that while having 'Jobless' as his primary 'job' (combined with not knowing if it would show secondary jobs in the evaluation, which he felt was a cheat/unusual). He didn't just immediately decide not to try on his own.

medieval fantasy.

Slavery is not very "fantasy" isn't it?

Kinda interesting how someone translating an isekai/fantasy manga would manage to mistranslate orc as oak, I mean, just think a little... Calling her an oak would make no sense in any kind of world. Surely you would find it weird and double check even if the two are spelled the same, right? Who calls someone a tree in surprise/shock? Last I checked, an oak wasn't something to be jump scared by. Yes, the katakana is the same, ooku, but it shouldn't be that difficult, haha.

Anyway, I've read really far into the LN long ago. It's a decent slice of life comedy adventure story.

Slavery is not very "fantasy" isn't it?

Slavery is exceedingly fantasy related even if it also exists in reality. Everything from mind control to overly powerful individuals seeing themselves as above others, widening the normal gap in power structure between the wealthy and poor even more.

Slavery is par for the course in any kind of remotely realistic fantasy world, people pretending it's not realistic are just shutting their eyes while pretending to be blind because of PC. But humanity is simply fond of the idea of feeling superior over others and proving that they are worth more, just because people suppress it in today's society doesn't mean the desires aren't there anymore. We're just intelligent and sociable enough to know that it's in our best interest to not act like morons, but what if people had supernatural powers and there was no proper government to rein people in tightly (or that said government wasn't able to because some people are too OP)? Of course slavery, discrimination, class structures, inequality and so on would reign. This is more true in a fantasy world than one ruled by typical science.

Of course, the portrayal in isekai is often rather unrealistic even if slavery often exists, it's typically just used as a crutch for a virgin/inept protagonist to get a cute girl or two easily that are completely devoted to them. Simply a fetish thing instead of true slavery and that's fine, really. I can't be bothered with people complaining about slavery, rape, murder, lolis and other controversial issues in what is essentially just self-insert stories where no one was actually hurt. It was a long time since I stopped caring morals with mere stories, let people enjoy their fetishes, everyone's happier that way in the end

Jesus the translation. Like, isn't this already a translated WN/LN couldn't they have checked that WN translation to make the translation make more sense?

The explanation for the RPG mechanics is just gobbledygook. Like if I hadn't already read the WN most of this wouldn't make sense to me. The strangest part is that it's clear that the team has a redrawer and one worked on this chapter... so it feels like a waste that they spent so much effort redrawing for shit translations.

This shit makes no sense. Why did he not want to give up jobless, and then he made no job his secondary job...wtf??

 

[Kasmay]

why does every isekai have a slave beast girl, you can't make this shit up.

[Peregrine06]

Bro soon as he was transported he didn't even bother just straight up doing happy adventure and didn't even think about what happen to her sister now as if he doesn't even care about her and I know he's already dead but atleast..

 

[DizzyGreen]

Why do the Japanese love slavery so much

96 chapters tldr: Do I recommend this? Not now. Wait for the end, or find a reddit thread to spoil yourself.
Lore is pretty decent. Story's pretty shit. Would not read this weekly, wouldn't even read this daily. Would wait for it to end then binge it to get it over with.
Translations get better than whatever the fuck this first chapter is.

After reading the first 2 chapters... this world system is so god damn complicated. I'm sure it's just early chapter exposition dumping, but holy shit. He can't go and sell because he's not an explorer, but the slave can go in because she just can? Is her main job "explorer" and not "slave" or something? Clearly the world only cares about main jobs and doesn't give a shit about sub jobs according to literally everything these chapters have set. I'm so confused, man. It feels like being "jobless" giving you the "debuff" of "not selling shit" is such a weird and almost pointless plot device Though, considering "criminal" is a forced job, it's clear the system is not objective at all.

Anyways, I hope at some point in the story, these kinds of things flow good enough so I don't have to think about it anymore.

Just read chapter 3: She's a swordsman. I'm gonna stop thinking about this and just assume he's like a legally dead person.

After 5 chapters: The system's pretty fucking stupid. I've concluded it's better to just stop asking questions and just accept shit as they come.

After 23 chapters: This is the kind of manga where you have to actively read and think about the world without skimming, which is hard to do considering there is almost nothing to care about.

96 chapters: Mc's only character arc was, "all the girl's are fine with the harem route, in fact they're all straight up saying it's better, so shit, I have no choice." The pacing's pretty damn slow. Mc is still pretty fucking stupid. The donkey trio have not grown on me at all. I now have characters and plotlines I care about. The lore and very few characters are carrying this entire manga's existence, and it's hard considering it's a plan, plan, plan, type story. It's almost insane how they can fit so many pages and text in a single chapter. Even though it's a monthly to bi-monthly release, there's so much content, but that also means so much nonsense. Like mc literally meets a pretty important dwarf and makes his own sword only for both to be on the back-end for a little while, mention it again, then back burner again. Or the series of events where, in chapter 75, mc loses jobless because of a fucking random curse loophole, curse that gives you all criminal jobs, then in chapter 78 we meet a random samurai old man that just fucking died in the chapter he was introduced in, then the entire false queen thing, then the infiltration, then "ShE hAs sOmEThiNg tHaT StEaLs jObS!" Guess what happened next? Mc goes back to being fucking jobless. "Remove jobless from primary you can't get it back" my ass. The system is still pretty fucking supid. At least in fucking chapter 93 it's explained that the system's managed by the goddesses, who could've guessed, and new jobs get created while old jobs disappear all the time.

Can barely wait for new chapters. I hope my questions on the system and lore are answered, and that the background characters don't get forgotten.
