Magi Craft Meister - Vol. 4 Ch. 16 - A Request From The Earl

[digitalromance77]

@Siikalahna its a bit too late for that... We've been through 16 chapters (14, if we exclude the first two chapters as an introduction), and i still didnt feel any tension so far... The story felt so light that it didnt leaves any impact or impressions... Its just like drinking mineral water when you are wasted... Lol... Also, like the previous chapter title thats a dead giveaway, i think we're pretty much know what will happen next, do we?
Like, 'heroes barging into demon's castle; rescue the damsel in distress; whooping some asses; save the world' trope is a common thing in isekai genre, after all...

Yea, sure, let's rape your technician that's holding control over everyday things you use.
Pretty sure that popcorn won't have any poison, and that lighter won't explode in your hand.

What, you gonna use her to design weapon after that? Perfectly safe! Ain't no malfunction and accident will occur, I swear.

And I'm sure our little washboard here is totally worth it. Not like there's a personal brothel down the road or a line of hand-picked peasants waiting to serves you or anything.
Nuh-uh, that's something only a low-class evil noble would do.

 

[aerozext]

Typical noble deeds

 

[Yautja]

The most generic shit possible.

Spin stuff? That is why it is more efficient to just chop the nobles head off right away, won't be spinning any stories with his head in a box. Shame that won't happen though.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

Why do these aristocrats think they're all the hots. Bah.

 

[Serkket]

I'm always amazed at how often nobles turn out to be assholes.
Pray let God not send me their way, because I'd just use my OP powers to annihilate every single one of them, even the so called "good/kind" ones.

I love how this story doesn't end with the typical "harem" troupe. He attends Bina's marriage with his then fiancee and things end up just fine. I loved how they can be adults about these things.
Also the girl he'll eventually be married to hasn't even been introduced. (As well as best bro Reinhardt and best girl Saki).

 

[sjmcc13]

@welcome2atlantis : Because legally they are in these settings. The nobility holds ALL the power and rights, and power corrupts...

@Serkket : that is only if you were OP to the level of taking out the whole world, as it would escalate quickly. Most of the OP transmigrators are strong but no where near that level.

 

[themanj]

i hate myself... in all these isekais the MCs always try to incorporate modern science with magic but all i can ever thing of is making a gun.... seriously a gun is so useful sure magic has its perks but a gun is just so nice..

 

[Ultima4128]

@themanj if i were to be an isekai manga protagonist i won't make a gun. Sure it's strong and easy to make but .... It's strong and easy to make.

 

[screamdoom]

The plan was made life easer, made a cool inventions, aimed by nobles, initially defending againts invader, but do rape instead? The author used this cliffhanger to accoupy the reader? I don't get it.

 

[SanelessHatter]

@themanj in all the manga where they do make a gun people hate it though lol. They're like "really a gun of all things?".

 

[Liquidxlax]

so he thinks raping her is gonna get him what he wants? I hope that midget gets his genitals smashed and I miss Hana

 

[sjmcc13]

@themanj : Personally, I would probably try to make a railgun. with magic for power and superior metals one should be doable.

@Liquidxlax : What he wants is coitus, he is a bit of a skin hound. As to Hana

Spoiler

Jin will eventually go back to the village, but at the start he just walks through it an night, while everyone is sleeping, a couple times. It takes way to long for him to openly walk through the town and meet people. though he eventually is made its lord, and the noble who chased him off does not react well to losing territory.

 

[Izaya_Onisai]

That's why I dislike half assed mc's... they are always so disgusting beta, honestly it was so obvious that the noble would be a disgusting trash, why? Since all noble's are disgusting trash.
If any normal person had his magi craft he would create himself some kind of armorescque weapon suit, and drone's for the sake of protecting friends and loved one's then next they wouldn't let anyone push them around a noble make's trouble kill that noble a king warrant your death kill that king.
That would be far more realistic and readable.

Btw, really disgusting way to end a chapter.
Hopefully the mc shows in the next chapter some balls and slaughters that pig.
But it's shounen soooo.... probably no real punishment, in reality letting someone like that life would bring only misfortune to friends and loved one's in the near future.

 

[kuyukotto]

What chapter in the WN is this? anyone?

 

[sjmcc13]

@kuyukotto : This looks to be mostly volume 2 chapter 16 with some from chapter 17 at the end, but there are some differences.

@Izaya_Onisai : This series usually pairs the bad nobles with a contrasting good one, at least for the first few arcs. first arc the tax collector was a good and proper noble, while the local lord is a waste of resources he is bad in that arc, and worse when he appears again later on

Spoiler

trying several times to sabotage and kill everyone in Kaina village because the King of that country gives it to Jin for services rendered. Including releasing all the prisoners in a forced labour mine and directing them to the village to rape and plunder it, Jins golems complain they only made it through half of the defensive lines so the rest were untested

This arc we have 2 earls, Kazuma is a good and serious man who runs his territory well, and this rapist whose territory is if I recall right notably worse off.

 

[fortnog]

Bruhhhhhhhhhh wtf the noble cliche feels so forced here

 

[Nk9bjP4A]

So the lesson today children, is never take a bath.
