Majutsu wo Kiwamete Tabi ni Deta Tensei Elf, Moteamashita Jumyou de Ikeru Densetsu to naru - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Chapter 2

[Kaiser92]

see slave
see slavers
deliberately break slave chain
leave, let the slave there to her fate, didn't kill slavers, didn't find out more abt them slaves, gave little to no shit
refused to elaborate, literally erased himself from other memories

how typical of Japanese

 

[JaxunHero]

PLS don’t make a Girl fall for him and then be forced to get piston pumped sperm by a BFF to make heirs so theyre There to meet the elf again once he’s done traveling

 

[Triparadox]

sigh this is already starting to disappoint me… reaaaaally hope this isn’t gonna be a stupid story

Oh boy it will. It probably will. That's how most isekai mangas are. Usually, the first or second chapter will be fine. Anything beyond the prologue will suddenly shift into just your everyday generic isekai manga.

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

The second chapter is worse that the first, let's hope this doesn't continue.

how typical of Japanese

Yeah, I actually worry a bit about their morality because stuff like that is really commonplace in their fiction.

 

[Monovar]

I just want to see him leave the village already. This prologue feels so dragged out even though it's skimming over 100 years of stuff.

them old elves are real stupid for their age

I mean... Not for nothing are elves often depicted as hyper conservative. When you get older, you get more set in your ways, less able to cope with The New... And they've been old for a long-ass time. So they've had a lot of time to pass on their values to their children.

I could easily imagine the scars, hatreds, fears from a great war 4000 years ago still having an effect on their society. Entire human kingdoms could have risen and fallen, and they'd still remember and tell stories about Those Four Kingdoms Wot Hated Us And Everyone We Stand For.

Add in the isolationist nature, not even trying to look at the outside world much... It's not "stupid", per se... But a mindset that's "worked for us for two, three generations, so it should work for our kids, too." The timescale's just much, much longer than human society's.

So this is like a copy of "Enough with This Slow Life! I Was Reincarnated as a High Elf and Now I’m Bored", but with an ironically speedier pace. That series, though, goes into far greater depth on the curse of having such a long life in comparison to all those around you, where as here it seems to be very nonchalant about it ("oh that was 20 years ago lol").

Though this just started, it doesn't feel like it's really set up what it's going to be about besides our MC being good at magic.

Eh it just looks like a speed run of his "childhood". 'Enough of this slow life' started when the MC was around 1000 and was functionally immoral.

Here we start when MC is 10 and blitz thrue the next 90 years because they are ultimately unimportant.

It covers the important bits, training up his ungodly mana pool and then learning every scrap of magic the village owns or could obtain.

It would be exceedingly stupid for the fast pace of the story to continue after leaving the village. Not only because it would be rather boring for the audience, but also because the MC has a finite amount of time to live.

I expect once MC meets up with the girl he saved from the muscle wolves and slavers things will start moving at a more normal pace. Ev3n if the time skips continue, they will be more on the order of months rather then decades.

wow he can do attack magic
wow he can do super healing magic
wow he defeat all the monster easily
wow he . wow he . wow he

terrible . typical of isekai genre

 

[isthon]

Sorry for the turbo-negativity, buuut...

Pacing is awful, why is it a speedrun to OP? Why not flesh out the character of the human he met and have this age difference feel way more impactful? Multiple weird choices, the editor must be real bad. Was the writer told he only has four chapters?

 

[InsertBagelRelatedPunHere]

I'm wondering if half the people in this thread even read the title. It's pretty clear this will be OP MC generic "isekai" from the start

 

[BookQueen]

Its like that other manga with the elf but this one is more Op despite having a shorter lifespan

 

[eviljackspicer]

"We'll meet again in seven years..."
What is he, the Master Sword from Ocarina of Time? LMAO

[JACGohu]

She probably meant that while he may have power and technique, that alone is not enough to live in the human world.
Poisoning, assassination, taking hostages, blackmailing,....There are many methods to make someone strong yield without using force.

Possibly. It's a reasonable assumption. Considering she used a battlefield as a comparison for what he'll likely face, there's also the possibility the first thing she'd think about are the immediate dangers of the outside. If she meant the finer nuances of dealing with humans, I can't help but feel she could have used a different idiom which could serve as a better comparison.

Well, we'll see eventually.

 

[pab101]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[SilverSupreme]

This is becoming laughably dumb.

Why do these random ass goons know so much about super advanced magic that they can do commentary on it for the audience as exposition surrogates?

I'm hoping the time disparity becomes more a thing once he leaves the village and starts interacting/living with people who move at a different pace than his new norm

 

[Axodox_]

I actually really like how this is going. I look forward to more chapters.

 

[lordb1]

Now you got me angered, why leave her there?

Because he couldn't take her with him and he had to return to the Elf Village.
