Kuitsume Youhei no Gensou Kitan

This makes a pretty good thriller at times. I like the pacing of the story (currently at ch17)

"Licensing", my old nemesis. Hope someone not afraid of a word will pick this up. 🙏

If anyone's still curious about the novel chapter equivalent, it's at Chapter 28 where

they meet up with Jack at the bar for information.

 

[humbleoverlord]

Goblin Slayer author know when to add humor and when to be serious. This manga overdoing the slapstick humor in the serious situation to the point of become annoying.

 

[FabioGross]

Finally a fantasy manga where:

• MC does not encounter hot females that immediately fall in love for him under every rock
• MC is not just an overpowered edgelord
• things don't "fall from sky" as soon as the MC or party needs it (eg.: MC is a fat loser -> sleep and turns into a fit supermodel; MC needs new clothes -> fashion related personel appear and give MC size adequate clothes, etc.)
• characters from the same gender of MC exists and are not evil. Characters of the oposite gender of MC that doesn't like him (but are not evil) also exists
• MC is able to maintain a proper conversation with the oposite sex without overreacting, additionaly, is able to have phisical contat without losing its shit. Even more, is able to witness sex without bleeding from every oriphice of his face or the urge to rape someone
• Despite the female partner still falling into the manga trope of imediately trusting and liking MC (despite my previous point - not love, she only likes him at first), later on the manga presents a valid reason for her to become attached to him (stil annoying but this bar is so low that I'm still counting as a positive)
• the manga stabilishes rules and stays true to them - there are two magic slots -> two magics where cast -> there are zero magic slots -> the mage is not able to get more magic casts out of its rear hole or use the power of "friendship" to kill enemies
• careless characters die because they are careless, they don't simple die (or get raped) just because violence sells (or sex sells) but it is just the consequences of their actions. Or even worse, when those characters start to suffer from their careless actions the cavalry don't get just in time to save everyone (and the cavalry commander is a hot female that imediately falls in love with the MC)
• no demon lord or choosen one(yet)

Good read, hope it stays away from the common sewage.

This is really good, if not, a great manga. MC and FMC acting like true adult in fantasy world, other adult person having rational conversation, the typical harem cliche character are either dead or incapacitated due to their idiot leader. Meanwhile, MC aware of his own weakness and doesn't act rash. FMC while mysterious also knowledgeable, not just there for the sake of eye candy. Weapons broke after fighting horde of enemy, magician depleted of their mana, even archer lost stamina faster after running compared to swordsman, these are fresh in the sea of isekai trash out there.

 

[Norisek]

It's bad. Not at the first glance type of bad but the worst type because it betrays expectations.
Story tries to sell mc as mature, cunning and experienced and soon after he behaves like a complete moron oblivious to everything. These swings in competence make it impossible for me to immerse myself into the story.
In general characters are overly cautious which autor tries to use as a leverage to show them as mature just to in the next scene, for no apparent reason, randomly break established characters.

Spoiler: spoiler

It's only my taste but personally I can't get behind mc who is willingly putting himself into slave mindset. It's ok if he is enslaved and he fights against it but being a follower is fit only for side characters not for mc. Some people tend to enjoy manipulated or beta characters, if that's the case you may find the manga bearable.

 

[Llangion]

Going on three years and no one has picked this up, I guess it truly is dead.

 

[HoangDinh]

So is the series still continuing? Did the author racist drama blow over yet?

 

[Bilto]

From Chapter 18.1 to 24.41, that's some serious gap which I would want to be filled.

From Chapter 18.1 to 24.41, that's some serious gap which I would want to be filled.

Those chapters are available on some other manga sites.

in addition:
Pushover MC x manipulative bitch FMC. The human is right to loath demon kin if they are acting like FMC. If the MC has an ounce of brain, just do low rank hunting quest solo since he's strong enough to deal with lower rank monster barehanded & get out of the debt. Why he need to stay in inn if he can just stay outside & hunt wild animals for food so he can saves his money. YOU ARE A FUCKING MERCENARY AREN'T YOU? DON'T YOU HAVE ANY SURVIVAL SKILL! This's just plain idiotic.

 

[StormSen]

Having read several volumes of the LN...

The main problem is that it feels like bait and switch. Technically the guts guy is the MC, but he has almost zero initiative and instead it's the FMC who is deciding what to do, where to go etc, generally running the show. On top of that, the FMC is actually physically stronger than the MMC. Basically the story is "OP woman finds a good looking, strong (but not as strong as her) man, and uses him as a strong pet." Aside from that it also takes a long stuff for things to happen; feels like a lot of unnecessary filler in the story before the action finally kicks in.

 

[krippr]

Garbage. A girl got bitten by a zombie dragon and they spend 3 pages talking before saving her.

 

[grom]

Read some of the ln a while back, stopped because tl was slow and didnt read back after, the problem is : some of the things are better explained in the novel ^^' butthe real problem is, this manga is SO SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW to update, omg, its almost to the level of the "on manga page each year".

 

[Hovand]

dang not even a single breathing room, let me rest yo

 

[coyote_vdb]

I rather like this one. The two main characters are interesting and not overpowered, there is some tension and no isekai crap or pseudo-game stats. It's not genius but a good read.
EDIT : Unfortunately, I went through the LN and it's a total letdown.

Spoiler

The characters become overpowered quickly and the story becomes repetitive, overblown and boring. The relationship between the two main characters stalls for hundreds of chapters and we see only addition of female side characters to spice up things, the male ones being just repulsive. Yet another writer who doesn't know how to write. Dropping here, there's no way the manga can salvage this trainwreck.

 

[Ironclad]

People said this series was cancelled but it looks like it has a few big gaps in releases. First from October 2022 to May 2023, October 2023 to February 2024, and last April 2024 to October 2024.

 

[leandro1amaral]

not a bad read, worth a 6 star.

 

[Opor97]

Complete edgebait trash. MC is the villain without even him (or the incompetent author) realising it. He just stood at the side while his whole party got whiped when his role as a melee brawler is to take the aggro, attention away from his fragile backline party members
