I fucking love all the little gremlin faces author draws on the girls

This was great, thank you very much for the scanlation. Even with MTL, you're doing a great job getting the dialogue right. And this series is fantastic, I'm so happy to continue reading it and seeing it get more appreciation.

One small thing, that since I'm not a native english speaker I can't ascertain if it's really incorrect, but on page 12 "Isn't your attitude now much more worse than mine", the more in this case is redundant, though some people speak like that (even in my native language, and even I did that on occasion), considering the fact that Glenn is a noble, I personally feel it doesn't really fit his character at this point. So I'd just take it out of the sentence. But this is just a small thing, very small.

Also, I understand disliking or even hating Glenn for his values, attitudes and way of speaking and regarding others, but in the situation of the pig bastard (who literally looked like a pig as well, being that funny or not), that noble was dealing with "illegal slave trade of young boys", and was trying to get Glenn into his good graces by incentivizing to usurp his older brother of his position on the household. I wouldn't reprehend that, even if it was done with excessive violence like Glenn did (but that is because this is fantasy, but even if it was not, for slave trading?).

He would be better without them.

They hold him back too much, the damn traitors...

I still don't understand why Eillene-sama is wearing a dress

I guess it has something to do with a letter on her desk. But I don't remember if we have seen that letter before.
It sure doesn't seem important enough to be a marriage proposal from a foreign prince or a demand from a demon king.
But maybe somebody in the palace is trying to arrange a marriage between her and Will?

glenn has an evil face but dear lord he is good bro and the best wingman

Do you really think that point is something that someone will disagree with here?

Glenn has weird values and a different opinion to many, as long as he doesn't mishandle normal people, that's the worst of it.
He got pretty touchy and harassing in the first confrontation though, so I guess the author wants us to quickly forget that by getting the redemption arc done.("I don't force anybody", huh I guess you're just using repetive reinforcement to get your point across?)
¯\(ツ)/¯

Personally to me he is written weirdly. He is written as a musclebrain playboy, but somehow is also a genius in knowledge.
I guess the author wants to tell us, that it does become boring for him since he is too simpleminded in his personality and therefore cannot interact with those complex themes really?

I think I put more thought into this than the author themselves, many decisions/actions characters make can change drastically on a whim of artist/author or editor, or sometimes characters need to drive certain plot (points) forward and therefore are forced to take action, even if it makes no sense.

It's a mess honestly, but as you can see with the white knight defenders of Glenn here, many don't see what he does really, but instead focus on what the characters say is happening or what they stand for.

Glenn has problems with self reflection and some people here gobble it up like their favorite meal.

No idea how much of this is intentional or just a mistake or bad writing, but something doesn't add up.

I would describe it as stern/listless/smug with some comedic faces that berate here and there, doesn't invoke much evil in my mind when I see it. xD

Edit: the laughing face looked evil though heh

 

[Iwashiii]

I guess it makes sense for translators to not use boys and men interchangeably. Bussy.

Bro, not the same. I mean "boys" as in young/children. Why are you being so dense with that.

It may give the feel that I'm implicitly defending all his other inexcusable actions with my comment, I'm not. I ended up saying what I did about him more in regards to him as a person in the world of the story than as a written character and narrative tool.

I do agree with you that he's written weird, I feel he has a weird character, but in context it somewhat makes sense, and to me he has some obvious faults, that I think exist in great part because he's not challenged on them (with WIll and his team being one of the few to stand up to him, apparently), and that in great part is because he has power, both in influence and physically (I mean, he's in a similar rank of strength to Eileen, though he's not in as much of a influencial position as her). But even with all that, he has some virtues, and I believe that in great part is due to the influence of some good people in his life, namely his brother and his teacher, and I think some of his quirkiness is for him to narratively be a bit of a foil to Will.

I think some people get defensive about Glenn both as a character and fictional person because he has some traits they admire and in some cases want for themselves, he also represents in some way the power fantasy many people like. He was also initially presented as a hateful dick at the start so much, that when you see he's not that bad, it's both a relief and a good thing, but again, not that excuses his disrespect to personal boundaries, intimidation tactics, self-centeredness, etc.

Also, I think the author didn't intend for this to thought about that deeply too, and I personally don't feel this is bad writing. Not that I want to analyse it deeply too, but that's just me.

So basically the conflict in Will's story is that while he could be pretty much anything he wants to be, he chose what is one of the lowest professions in society because it is what he loves, and it is seen as stupid to the people around him and also forces him to give up on things he wouldn't have to if he chose to be something else.

It's good that the girls are meddling around his love life so much because he was sure to hurt Eileen really badly the way things were going. And him dating Eileen would most certainly not keep him from being able to go on adventures, assuming there aren't any status barriers keeping them from being together.

You are correct, it is a redundant word.

Pretty much.
It is like completing all the trainings and certifications to become a S.W.A.T. member or secret service agent, and then choosing to become a mall security guard. Society will see that as a waste and pressure him to reconsider.

I think that it is just that, since she got the letter with the info about the Demon King, she knew that it was time to contact Will. She was nervous. And the maids, who know what she feels about Will, dressed her up to impress him (notice that they said "you can't be afraid when it's time to shoot your prey").

 

[KajurN]

I think that letter is the one Cyrille mentioned she'd write to Eileen telling her to wear a dress for their next meeting.

 

[J203]

What a great chapter. Glenn the goat.

 

[Pyras]

Only took us 35 ch. for the title drop. Guys, were you here for this ~!!?

As always, the faces are great in this series.

 

[RanmaChaos]

Thanks for an awesome chapter!

 

[ClueByFour]

Hell yeah, that's the good $#!%.

 

[AMetroid]

So much smug

It's like you looked at his backstory and just ignored everything about it. But sure people who don't immediately hate him now that we have more info on him are "white knight defenders"

Glenn is gifted. And because of that everything became boring to him. Conjunction that with the fact he's a noble and has certain expectations on him and his higher upbringing. It's no wonder he ended up the way he is. No one was able to challenge him growing up and because of that started to see people as objects to be useful to him. The people around him never challenged him because he was gifted but they still taught him to be a decent noble.

Despite all of that no one judges his ability of performance harsher than himself. Literally after losing the subjugation bet he didn't whine or bitch he accepted his loss and understood he needs to get stronger and blames himself. Saying he has no ability of self reflection is blatantly ignoring that scene. This chapter he literally thought how his life might've been different if he interacted with Will and Eileen when they were kids but immediately understood there's no point dwelling in ifs. He doesn't blame his failures on no one but himself.

I can understand people having issues with him being so abrasive when he was introduced but that's just how he operated because of his upbringing and getting context on why someone acts the way they do can give further insight on understanding their character.


Or you can just hate him because playboy noble 🤷
