really? You're just now noticing?

The story is all over the place damn like chill, god damn too much going on when it's stil like what under 10 chapter? The other barrier master manga does it a tad bit better and I'm not comparing here, it's just observation.

Just a tad bit better

no, it's significantly better. The opening of that was a story on its own, and while it's not been as good as that, it's stayed consistently decent and has had likeable characters. This series has basically floundered so far with MC having... man I can't give him any actual trait. Realistically annoyed? not a huge compliment. We got ANOTHER stupid 1000 year old dragon loli, and a bunch of people from other kingdoms who love MC. Because they definitely wouldn't have tried to get any spies into the nation that had him initially or anything, no why would that be the case. They weren't desperate to have him on their side or anything like that. this series is bad and I don't think it's going to improve much.


I'll probably keep reading it tho

 

[lolfacesayshi]

my bet is she just looks like that or she just needs really strong glasses

Or she might be related to one of the hundred-or-so people they've just massacred

Nope, what happened makes perfect sense for an entitled noble who can not see beyound their own biases. He is a minor local power player not someone up on national level affairs, so thought he could control his new "lord" without even asking WHY they gave him the citry based on the MCs origins alone.

Kind of like how MC was booted form his nome naiton.

Not meeting your desires doe not make something stupid, learn to ask if there a reason before openign your mouth, and not just a rerason you like.

What DOESN'T make sense here is this guy literally just watched all his men get completely eviscerated in front of him and yet he was still acting all high & mighty despite that. Something was severely wrong in his head.

Pride, and probably thinks he has some legal protection or custom to protect him.
Not killing the noble was kind of ingraned in miedeval affairs, and he probably thinks he can lie that it was a misunderstanding at trial to get off and "show" the MC needs his "help"...

Just curious what's with the face masks and why did that noble try to kill the guy who was just appointed by the government highest authority?
He should have at least expected them to check up on the guy they placed there to see how is he fairing.

Those were shadows not masks, to show their negative intent.

The Mc pointed out their plan, they wanted him to act as a pupet and leave them to rule. He had not thought about how things could go wrong, normally you do something to keep the pupet form spilling the beans about their situaiton and he probably assumes the dragon lady is just a harmless girl to hold hostage.

really? You're just now noticing?

Not going the way I like does not mean it is bad or dumb. not thate I am surprised considerg the sheer number of manga "fans" who have no understanding of Japanese culture and call stuff idiotic for the MC following traditional japanese values or not being an egotisticval/entitled/violet idiot like US culture tells THEM to be.

It takes a real failing in reasoning skills to think something is bad when you do not even have the experiences ot get in the minds of the charactrers.

For the record, plenty of nobles WERE as dumb, entitled and out of touch as the guy here and the former fiance. so complaints based on their acitons just show a lack of knowledge by the complainer.

Why does this chapter repeatedly and exclusively use "they" for Azazel? He was introduced in the last chapter, is clearly male, and was consistently referred to as such in the previous chapter: "This guy", "he" multiple times by multiple characters, "my right hand man", "his presence". This, along with the inconsistent names and time spans (already mentioned by someone else above), makes it seem like the previous translator was replaced wholesale.

I know we're all just feeding our isekai-slop addiction, it's not high art, and translations are free, but a little more consistency/quality control/common sense would improve the reading experience a lot.

who is SHE talking about besides azazel to use "they"?

What is this they/them bullshit, he is clearly a dude. Also use the word "it" For those with gender unknown

The English word "they" was redefined to be a correct singular gender-neutral pronoun, ever since 2014. Although I find issue with the consistency of referring to this new demon's gender, it's a minor nitpick. Besides, it's physically impossible for a male to wear such a long V-neck.

Prior to redefining "they", one would often have to refer to ambiguously gendered ones as one.

I think they tried to use noble/archaic speech like Thou or Thee but missed completely. Probably. Or not.

 

[yummyyummy]

i only think she isnt because they said demons can “detect killing intent” and if she had some she probably would have died instantly right?

...redefined by whom exactly?
English is one of the few weirdo languages with no official regulators that could either push for a redefinition, or even acquiesce to a shift in meaning having happened organically and making it official, as the more lax regulators usually do.

(To be clear, I'm not contending the idea that "they" has shifted meaning over the years and gained additional meaning as singular gender-neutral; but rather the idea that there was a purposeful redefinition, let alone an exact year past which it would gain additional use.)

 

[TheLetterJ]

Absolutely do not do that. "It" is only used as a gender-neutral pronoun for animals, babies, and objects.

"They" has been used as a singular gender-neutral pronoun for centuries. Though obviously it has become more widely accepted in the past decade or two.

"One" has some use as a pronoun, but not like you are using it. It is used to refer to any generic person, not a specific person. For example, "One must not trifle with love" is acceptable, but "One is at one's house" is not, and has never been generally used or accepted.
The actual way people used to refer to a person of unknown or ambiguous gender was to use "he," "he or she," or "they."

Also, I'm pretty sure this whole thing is just a case of the translation not being very good. IIRC, Japanese doesn't use gendered third person pronouns very much. So using "they" probably is essentially a literal translation. But most translators still use gendered pronouns when they can because that's how English is typically written.

This manga is dumb, but I'll read it for the credit pages.

...redefined by whom exactly?

In my apparent misremembering, I recall a headline for some dictionary adding a definition for singular "they". I can't find such an article from the time frame I remember (2014) on Google. My claim that singular 'they' was officially recognized by some authority in 2014 is likely incorrect.

Didn't know languages had official regulators. Cool. I had assumed linguistic rules were determined by whatever colloquial usage becomes popular enough.

 

[Widi70kg]

This pace is so shit make me cant understand what happen whole time

 

[jonsmth]

It suddenly got interesting. At one point, it seemed like a gag manga romcom. Now, it looks like the MC is essentially a demon lord (demons' lord).

 

[wallsg]

The MC's death will spell the downfall of humanity? That's okay, just use a barrier to repel death.


These guys were the housekeepers / lord of this mansion, they were not exactly on board with the king's plan to have this random guy swoop in and take over their entire operation. Makes sense well enough.

What DOESN'T make sense here is this guy literally just watched all his men get completely eviscerated in front of him and yet he was still acting all high & mighty despite that. Something was severely wrong in his head.

Think Denethor, the Steward of Gondor.

While technically not incorrect, the genderless term "it" has negative connotations in English (US, at least) and should usually be avoided.

The French do, since the 17th century. They're fanatical about keeping the language "pure".

This is why Futurama had the joke where during the countdown for the 2999-3000 New Years every other country shown was counting down in their native language but the French were using English.

What's up with the creepy art-style for the guard who pissed himself? The drawings of that guy look like they're out of a horror comic.
