[RolandMayfield]

Thanks for the chapter!

The author didnt even let the birds be alive for a chapter.

 

[JACGohu]

I hope that's not blood spatter on the ground by his feet.

 

[yoshiii]

Noooooooo!!!! No foreshadowing PLOX

 

[Min0keda]

They look hella cute. Hope nothing happens to them

 

[Haezer]

It's a different bird guys... I think.

 

[Dwarfy2k]

The real question was how did he not notice the feathers and blood? Plus that amount of blood (Assuming its blood) would stink like blood. I know he was preocupied with his paint stick but that's not the entire time he was walking forward and up to it so yeah I call some BS there.

Also where did the human clothes come from? Why hasn't the MC thought about the fact a birb had human clothes.

You're expecting too much critical thinking from this idiot protag of ours.

It took him more than a day to figure out how to mix colors even though it was his damn life's obsession in his previous life.

If mixing colors, which is a basic skill as a PAINTER that he is, took him a whole day and night to figure out, it would take him far more time to figure out basic things outside of his area of expertice.

TLDR: This kid is dumb as a rock.

I hope I didn't make any translation mistake when I supposed to write painting instead of drawing and vice versa. Because his passion is drawing and he's quite a beginner at painting as what Chapter 1 suggests. Also I don't remember any scene where he had to mix color and had struggled with it, on chapter 2 his struggle was to collect colors from nature with the main goal of collecting primary colors (the subtractive ones). In fact, he managed to paint the spring just using the limited color palette he had at the time.

You did not make any mistakes don't worry, you accomplished your task to the letter, I don't shoot the messenger.

My gripe is with the author's narration choice and logic.

In a life or death situation like the protag was on ch1, taking a whole day and night just to figure out something so basic as mixing colors shows the kid lacks basic critical thinking skills.

I studied arts for a while IRL, they teach you how to mix colors as a basic lesson regardless of if you draw or paint as a primary skill.

And that was back in middle school.

I understand your frustration but the thing is in ch1, all he did was sketching with pencil and paper, no mixing color or anything related to creating color. He didn't know yet that he needed colors to make things with colors. It was just by coincidence that the things he managed to create at the time were passable as B/W (the mochi, the over-brewed barley tea, the knife). He spent a whole day for sketching tomatoes, a pencil, an unfinished bicycle, and a knife in B/W. It wasn't until near the end of the chapter did he learn about the importance of color for manifesting his drawing.

Even if we take ch2, there was no "mixing colors" problem that you suggested as a proof of his lack of critical thinking. In ch2, the problem was about getting the exact color as the raw material. He had to overcome the problem of producing pigment using raw materials with limited tools. In this chapter too, we learned that MC knows the basics of color mixing; he was basically looking for the CMYK pigments.

Like I'm sure there are better examples to support the opinion about author's questionable narration choice and logic but I'm pretty sure the example you brought up doesn't exist in canon.

Oh don't worry I'm still reading it anyway even with my whining.

The drawing things to life premise in itself is interesting enough to keep me glued to this.

It may not be perfect but it does it's job of giving me chuckle everytime he derps out.

Not the birbs...

the kid wasnt a painter, he was a drawer. first chap says that he's been drawing for years but only just got paints that day

 

[KirishimaX]

Everyone is like "oh no not the birds" but I'm here realising that the bird got the clothes from killing humans

 

[Omniracle]

Yeah no, Big Bird definitely murdered some folks for clothes.

 

[prolepsis]

robins are cute, and they're surprisingly friendly/curious/sociable, too. they often hang out with gardeners &c

 

[Xeroslayer]

I need more. This has an interesting hook.

 

[Shevar]
