Good job! Keep up The good work

 

[Ninoren]

I still have no idea whats going on 😐

Why are they still listening to incompetent peeps who literally sacrifice their people to get prestige for no reason 🤨

And why would they let him get away and further drag it out

Thank you for the chapter.

That was pretty anticlimactic. Like I get it, but it still feels off. There wasn't really a power struggle like at all anywhere this chapter. In terms of strength Rei completely overwhelmed (both Well and the supposed prodigy on imperial side) that latter due to Elena and the former he didn't even give a passing care about. I thought the felt with Well was going to resume (like he was going to go full Clone Wars Maul), but that was nothing. Then when Rei met up with Elena, it was just immediately over. It's somewhat refreshing that the antagonist recognized they didn't have a chance and used any method to escape, but I feel so off about the main cast taking him at face value SO fast. Like it didn't feel like there was any back and forth or conflict here. If I were the main cast I see no reason to believe such a BS out of pocket claim in the first place. Yet they didn't even question it (one obvious question to me is that if the guy had the power to turn the soldiers into suicide bombers why doesn't he just do it and take their target out and win the war? There were none around to harm him when he made the bluff). Something like the antagonist noticing the demon soldier coming and activating a magic he specifically put on that demon to support the bluff, would've been nice. Because we could have first gotten some not brain dead distrust of the guy that's cornered probably saying anything to save himself AND it could have shown how far in advance he plans (which the plot keeps telling us but has yet to really show; like a basic assessment that Rei is pretty freaking strong and he can't handle both him and Elena doesn't make him out to be a tactical genius; really so far he's just been shown to be not completely incompetent).

The ambush was nice, but like in terms of our main character and even just the actually named characters it's basically done nothing. It wasn't super interesting watching them breeze through what's supposed to have been a major upset and just give up because they'll believe a cornered enemy on whatever lie they make up.

AFAIK, the first one is because politics and the second one is because reasons... I don't think either are written nearly as well as they could and should have been. Honestly this whole "war" arc has felt more like a filler arc than anything that matters.

Poor Well... senpai Rei didn't notice him...

Thank you so much for the quality translation! The other group's work isn't very good.

If you killed a guy with lobsta arms and lobsta tail, would you cook and eat his lobsta parts?

Thank you for the release

That cake on the front page...

@citatel You may want to change Arla's speech bubble on page 7 from "You guys seem to be alright as well" to "You guys seem to be alright also"; since the enemy's name is Well it gets confusing.

 

[bearybrown]

Oh man, getting mob character treatment after being hyped up sure is funny.

 

[tekkenshu7]

Thanks for the new chapter!

This TL work is miles better than the freak/utoon ones.

Considering they know it was originally a regular human, just mutated into a human-monster hybrid by the empire, definitely not.

If it was a member of a true lobsterman species from the sea, things might be different. Even then one would need to be sure, though, that it really is a genuine lobsterman and not a human pirate, who was turned into a monster by some power in the ocean. If the lobsterman is intelligent and civilised, capable of communication and all that, it might make cooking him far more difficult. If it's just a monster brute, then there ought to be no problems.

This is how I see it.

They should have called his bluff. If they could suicide like that he would have already done it.

Better would have been to name him Whell or wael in the first place to not get confusion

could possibly be a self destruct as a last ditch trump card that, he was saving for when/if things get really bad, or maybe just to keep in hand as a way to save his life. In these case he wouldn't use it willy nilly, just so the other side doesn't become aware and is able to somehow plan for it next time. In this case the threat of using it was more effective than if he had actually used it. I think it was a bluff as well.
I always assumed his name was German and pronounced as Vell.

All I know is that having a character name spelled exactly like a commonly used adverb/interjection is throwing me off while reading (especially since this font doesn't have lower/upper case).
