Maou ni Natta node, Dungeon Tsukutte Jingai Musume to Honobono suru - Vol. 9 Ch. 58.2

[Dragou]

ok, I didn't expect any of this. It all came out of nowhere considering the previous chapters... and having read the novel this is even more bizarre

it was nothing close to this in the web novel at least.

Spoiler: novel stuff

so like, in the web novel, the tourney just happens, nell gets into trouble, yuki saves her, then there's like a whole lot of story, and much later the alliance conference happens, where the undead abominations attack, and once again yuki saves everyone (truly our glorious hero). Also the conference happened in the elven lands, since they are technically kinda somewhat neutral (because elves op)
Since I can't read jp, this is all based on the wn, not the ln since the ln translation has only just finished the king saving arc, but it's pretty rare for a ln to so drastically change the story so until the translation reaches this point it's my opinion the manga for some reason smooshed it all together into whatever this chapter is.

Anyway, yuki is so dere dere for lefi.

It happens that stories differ by that much between WN and LN.
Is the change good? You can argue about that. Is it still within the normal/acceptable boundaries? I think yes.

It just wrapped stuff up for now, we will see how they will expand about it. Honestly this could have been put like a report to the boss and this wrapping up would be better.

 

[Shinigamisama]

They spent a lot of time just doing trivial things, like a catgirl seducing Yuki and that little sister, at the end of last subchapter we even had a glimpse of the enemy. Then here, everything just went lightspeed.

 

[Sir_Him]

Considering other manga are taking way too long with their fights, I couldn't be happier that they skipped all this and just showed us how OP the MC is. Now we can get back to spending time with Lefi.

 

[kaminomikan]

man, what a rush. Not a good sign

 

[Kojirremer]

I don't know why but this made me chuckle. XD

 

[Dawa]

Not enough Lefi, skip plot button activated. But damn, how many chapters of build up was that? Than BAM done.

 

[XtraBreaker]

Bruh I wanted to see the battle against the "2 buff dudes"

 

[lenovoaxioo]

wait. . . did i skipped a chapter?

 

[ismaelh]

So theres the maou manga where they have been having a fight for over 12 chapters with reversals and hidden power bs and then there's this maou manga, where all the action is in 3 pages but you get 3 chapters of lolis and dates and cafes.

There's gotta be a balance somewhere. I'll let this one slide just because Lefi is good waifu.

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

When someone accidently presses fast forward.

 

[N2O]

wtf is happening
anyway bring more lefi or riot

I need only 1 word to counter this: Overlord
It's to the point where WN and LN are almost 2 different stories:

Spoiler

just think that Albedo doesn't exist in the WB

Anyway, I didn't understand anything in this chapter lol. I was one of those people who expected something from the buildup in 58.1, but it all resolved into a powerpoint where (I think) the demon king had all already planned and Yuki was a variable not expected by the "bad guys".
Now, I'n not saying there had to be 10 chapters of fight, but at least don't do that build-up if you're going to show nothing lol

 

[chemy1347]

man, what a rush. Not a good sign

Yeah, really triggered my trauma from Virgin Witch Maria's dogshit ending and Makoto Shinkai omitting the male lead's chara development in Suzume.

I mean I'm happy we'll get to see Lefi again sooner but this sudden change to pacing smells like cancellation.

 

[AnotherDuck]

There's a tournament arc upcoming. I don't think we need lots of battles just before that.

 

[CinderSquall]

but it's pretty rare for a ln to so drastically change the story

Have you not heard of Overlord essentially overhauling a lot of things from WN in the LN? WN to LN often time gets the most changes, and then manga usually gets "shortcutted" while anime is the wild west on what changes can happen.
Remember if your source is the WN there's like 80% chance it's changed.

Then what was the buildup in 58.1 for?

Notice the .1? You'd think that's to mean this and the previous "chapter" belongs in the same actual full chapter thus making the "build up" actually "nonexistent".

 

[Elhao]

I disagree. You'd only have a point if the chapters were originally released whole and split up by the scanlators, which is not the case. The manga author chose this format and when there is time between the releases there is buildup and payoff.

Regardless of the actual release schedule, the point of using .1 is to imply that it isn't the "full" chapter, if the author intended a "build up" they wouldn't have bothered to break up a "full chapter" into tidbits and just actually release it as a it's own chapter regardless of page count.

You are saying the author can only build up developments between a .2 and the next .1 at the earliest. That doesn't make sense and is clearly shown to be false in this case.

You know, let's take this ad absurdum. Let's say this wasn't chapter 58.2 but chapter 1.116, then according to you there couldn't be any payoff to anything built up before in the story because technically it was just one chapter released over 5 years.
That's not how that works.

I mean this part itself not the whole thing.

Spoiler

If i remember right, this takes place before yuki fights in the tournament and yuki saving nell takes place after the tournament, dealing with the necromancers for the most part happens before the tournament itself, after the tournament the extremist faction attacks one of the powerful but neutral tribes with undead in tow soldiers which nell helps defend, nearly dies fighting but yuki gave her something to in case she ever needed help, yuki shows up, EXTREMELY pissed and wipes the floor with all of the attackers.

This part takes place before the tournament where final or whatever his name is (the leader of the pro war demons) let's them wipe out the remaining necromancers as they outlived their usefulness and his disdain for their methods, i could be wrong though, it has been a couple of years since i read those chapters.

How difficult is it to take the concept of 1 actual "full" chapter? My god, you're trying to make things more complicated than it should be. Like you actually have a decent argument in the 1st sentence but you have to make things obtuse...

Making the last chapter be the "final" subchapter of 57 would make that a "build up" making it the complaints actually about wasting the build up valid... but it's the "start" subchapter of 58 which means the "build up" is as good as a commercial break...
