It's interesting. But it's been 4 months since last update. Is it dropped?

It's interesting. The art starts really good then immediately becomes chicken scratches, only starting to become a little less shitty once the story picks up. Did they forgot the artist's pay or something?

I got tired of waiting, so I started reading on syosetsu. Ryo goes full throttle boke (funny man), and I often feel bad for Abel.

The manga appears to be doing a speedrun of the story, and has skipped a few details of Ryo learning about magic during the 20 years he has been living in the Rondo Forest. The result makes him look like a generic Isekai OPMC, but really he was super weak at first.

Spoiler: Some of the skipped details from the LN

First off, they made it look like he could just pour out water from the beginning, but in the LN his first attempt resulted in only a couple drops of water wetting the palm of his hand. He worked at it for several hours, and by the time he passed out from exhausting his mana he had learned how to generate.... a single mouthful of water at a time. It took him several days to generate enough water to fill up bathtub for the first time, and much longer than that before he could turn it into hot water.

For the fights shown in Ch3 & 4, the manga makes it look like easy wins, but he struggled a lot in all of them... except for the Horned Bison. He killed it with a sneak attack by dropping a large ice guillotine right on its neck.

Also, Ryo went to the ocean several times. Not only to get salt, but also because he craved saltwater seafood.

The guide book he received about monsters did not include anything about underwater monsters, so he went in without knowing details about what he would be up against. The first ones he encountered was a tight school of small fish that dismantled his attack magic, and eventually took control of the water surrounding Ryo making him unable to swim away from his current position. He also could not use his magic on the water that was under their control to regain his mobility.

After escaping he decided to improve his magic control skills in the hopes that he could maintain his attack spells so they would hit the enemy, and to steal back control of the surrounding waters if they tried to entrap him again. During his training he discovered all living creatures had a surrounding space of 10 centimeters where it is not possible for others to generate magic. He used this inviolable space to train his ability to overtake the magic control of other creatures.

Pretty disappointing that this series ended up with such an amateurish manga. The story is mostly an abridged version that skips around a bunch, and the art seems to do the same unfortunately.

I was especially hoping for chapters 7-10, so does anyone know why those aren’t released?

I refuse to believe the ratings on this are real. This shit uses CGI to draw black and white monsters, and barely draws backgrounds. There's also no sense of time, despite major timeskips. Like chapter 8 suddenly telling you they've crossed an entire mountain range.

My elementary writing project about a sentient rubber band fighting a chameleon had more plot than this.

is funny how they dont even tell us about the 20 years that have passed from the moment the MC wakes up to when he meets Abel. They skipping most of the trip i dont mind at all, it would have been just them fighting and sleeping non stop, im glad the author just skipped to the city.

But forget about that, i need to know more about this story of the rubber band fight the chameleon!!

lol, all I remember is it was about a rubber band that suddenly gained sentience. It had no idea who or what it was, and had a few encounters with a pet chameleon while exploring it's surroundings. I think I was 10 when I wrote it, so it wasn't very detailed.

Me wonderin where you found chapter 8, knowing there is no english translation for chapters 7-10 on Mangadex:

Manganato. The chapters usually aren't the best quality, but it has most chapters that mangadex doesn't.

Apparently I had this bookmarked, now I don't know why I bothered?
Reading the comments here, apparently the LN is better, I can believe that. The manga, however, is truly awful.
It skips anything that can be interesting, the art is absolutely gobshite (CGI anything non-human), and there are so many infodumps of text every single page, about so much shit nobody gives a fuck about (who gives a shit how an internal meeting about a dungeon goes along? This is a story about a water-wizard getting better at water-wizardry, I don't want to sit through an entire fucking meeting and reading scrolls of text.)

Also, the MC's dying wish, was that he could: "Live a lonely, isolated, slow-life".
Yet, here he is, in chapter 5 or 7, already leaving home-base to sign up as an adventurer in a guild, an organization, to live in a crammed dorm that houses many other people, having no personal space.
I doubt any Jap author is ever capable of having an MC who wishes to be a hermit, and have him continue be a hermit.

I assume the ratings are from the intro-stages of the comic, where it had like 3-4 chapters or something.
There are a lot of people who just love to give 10/10 to any isekai they see.
