A common problem adaptions have is missing information and/or rearranged story elements, for example with this one, the first chapter of the novel deals with the flashback that is in chapter 5 of the manga and gets all that out of the way right away rather than half way through the 1st volume.
Anyways, this adaption feels pretty awkward, I don't know for sure if it's my translation or if the manga wasn't done very well just that the novel is much better, I apologize regardless
Additionally a common problem adaptations have is that the source material is usually already suffering from bad story writing. That's getting amplified when mangaka have no clue what they are doing.

You are just supposed to translate text. You can't fix bad pacing with that. Thanks for your efforts and dedication, but you shouldn't take the blame for things what are out of your reach.

There is one page of exposition, ten sentences character development. One sentence character motivation. And I don't even know what's going in on page 12 where she attacks the mother of the baby in a flashback but now finding it in the forest?

Again thanks for your hard work but I think this one is a dud. If the mangaka put in half of the effort into this story than you did doing the translation, we would be looking at a much better manga here.

Thank you very much for your kind words!:dogkek:

That's Sara and her kid, Angelica accidentally kills them, and then it jumps forwards ~1000 years and she finds this baby in the forest which reminds her of Sara and the kid, you're right though, the babies look similar haha :aquadrink:

Part of the issue I'm having here is the lack of fluidity in how characters are posed. The proportions I get, Shojo style manga tend to have super long legs, but it's the arms and wrists that are giving me trouble.

Not like I'm one to talk though, I just draw eyes and faces all day.

Also, I don't think this manga needs the "gore" tag. Gore would have meant that guy who cracked a wall with his impact would have become a meat-piñata. This seems bloodless even for an LN adaptation.

I look forward to the story developing here.
Well, in later chapters, there's a bit more gore, a head gets squished and a body supposedly turns into mist... I figured it was a good idea to put it there even if the gore is pretty tame/rare just because of the outliers :thumbsup:

nah, she felt bad because she exploded a castle and in the attack vaporized the mom and the baby you see.
I don't know if the babies look the same for laziness on part of the mangaka or because seeing a baby triggered her ""ptsd"", if it's the latter it was done very badly.
Thanks for the explanation. I usually would argue that this is a mansion instead of a castle because it has windows on the first floor and no defensive abilities. But it also has no shadows and is standing on empty city pavement. So what do I know what the mangaka intended to illustrate here. Probably something beyond his abilities.

1000 years? That's crazy. Why isn't that mentioned in the manga? Does the mangaka not know the source material and has just taken the paid job of adapting it?

Maybe he hasn't even read it, and has only gotten a rough story board from the author. That would explain some things.

Take a shot every time something happens that doesn't make sense :aquadrink: :haa:

So we see her kill some mother and child like a psychopath and then immediately after the manga is trying to be all light-hearted and funny with the characters as if we didn't just see her do that. I think one chapter of this is enough for me.

"I may be a genocidal psychopath but at least I have a vagina"

Hm, that should be the manga's title. They love long and descriptive titles
The Genocidal Vampire Who Destroyed Numerous Nations Has, In Fact, a Vagina

If the title works for Banished Healers it should work for vampires.

Ok, this will go either the adopted daughter is in fact a daughter or will go into the creepy wife route. Either way, how can you how me her killing a woman and her baby, someone we know that by the synopsis is a complete genocide maniac, and expect me to take these light hearted vibes?

Maybe cuteness corrupts a genocidal maniac into a loving mother?

she kills thousands but that one time she felt bad about killing a baby shes so quirky and lovable XDDD
And somehow every person in her county doesnt know who and where she is? give me a break
This shit is so poorly written that its impossible to get into it you just see the author stumble from A to B in real time

While you're not entirely wrong, she "helped" create the country 500 years ago, and mostly since then she's kept to herself in the forest rarely showing her face, that's why there's only fairy tales about her, because she's practically myth at this point. She's reluctant to go to town because people will stare at her, it took a daughter to make her go to town, I'm assuming she hasn't been to town since she picked up baby stuff 6 years ago for example

Not only that but in later chapters characters are shown that they do know who she is, actually I don't know if there is a single character who doesn't at least know about her
