Ougon no Keikenchi - Ch. 12.1

[chendu]

What a player considerate of others event and games ??? Oh right that's a fiction o/

Tanks for the food

 

[AlaAlba]

Poor players in that area, either they were locked out of the event or will have to face the hardest wave of the event

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the update!

 

[theldras]

poor players in the local area... either they dont get to participate in the event at all, or they have to face off against a end-game level dungeon and raid boss army, and the choise is not even up to them, its up to her, whatever they like it or not.

"Holding back feels like it's mocking the other players"

No, you just have to warm up first. Hold back a little bit early on and let them gain a some ground so that the players feel like they have a chance, ramp up in the third quarter to start pushing them back, and then go all-in on the last quarter and wipe them all out.

It's no fun if you just sweep the board in the first day of a campaign.

If it's announced that monsters won't attack these towns, it'll draw suspicion to us... That's why, we'll completely eradicate those towns and erase their very existence off the maps instead, nobody will suspect a thing. Muahahahaha!

---

Clearing the town will only take one hour out of the ten day event? Then the obvious solution is to clear the rest of the world in the remaining 9 days and 23 hours.

"Dear admins, since it was my mistake to tame the event bosses, I will gladly accept your proposal, however, it came to my attention that the cities near my domain are way too easy to conquer in 10 days, so.... I WILL RAZE TO THE GROUND EVERYTHING IN MY PATH...

Good day"

Thank you so much for the translation!

It grinds my goat that the official translation of the LN calls the MC "Leah". Rare has been a much nicer ring to it. But I guess that is just due to familiarity.

How the hell did they even derive that? I'm no stranger to shitty LN translations (Death Mage is particularly egregious), but even those at least you can see how they translated each syllable. But… Rare to Leah? Those don't share anything lmao

Is simply because レア have many variations of what it can be, as that is how some names or words are written in japanese, like Lea, Leah (from the old testament), Reah (from Ys I), Rhea (greek myth, saturn moon or bird), Rea or Rare, they probably opted for the one that sound more like a name as they localized, given the record over the years too, so is the current name being used in the manga wrong? or the one in the official LN? neither probably is unless this work explain to you what they based the name on or the author go and say it

But yea, due to familiarity with a name for a extended period of time it may seems weird once something official do a name change, even if it get to be technically correct, like for Fate, Nasu pretty much insisted on Artoria official english being Altria, after being exposed for years on her name being Artoria and calling her that, am going to call her Altria now? fuck no

It would be nice if you kept releasing whole chapters like last chapter instead of releasing half chapters. I know it's popular, but personally, I hate it.

To be fair, the dev only asked her to participate on the monster side, they never said anything about holding back. Rare is simply fulfilling their deal

And me holding the urge to drop spoilers, but Rare going all out is important to the plot and her character development

It's not like the event specifies a time limit for the individual towns. It's more like "Defend as much territory as possible from this surge of monsters." Reading between the lines, the fact that the event doesn't mention the possibility of counter-attacking and claiming monster territory would suggest that the odds are already stacked to be a matter of damage control.

Leah going all out and obliterating huge tracts of territory would actually be inline with what the devs/gms would want, as she's now classified as a Calamity. Given that the existing six calamities effectively place the areas under their influence into permanent survival mode where seeing tomorrow is an achievement, eradicating every town in her sphere of influence is par for the course.

It's the reason why in the previous chapter the powers that be are scrambling to put together a subjugation force under the mistaken assumption that a "new born calamity" is vulnerable. Calamities are just that much of an anathema to the concept of a develop(ing) civilisation. We'll ignore the fact that an entity powerful enough to be deemed a calamity would imply that they are already powerful enough to annihilate civilisation. So the delusion of a new born calamity is just that...

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼

You got any crumbs you could spare?

Without spoiling too much, Rare had to learn some lessons the hard and painful way. Still didn't stop her love for theatrics tho

Since you look like an avid reader, is this any good? It seems semi-interesting, but I'm someone that hates (generally) manga about people simply playing games, unless there's a true element of danger to the players, i.e. trapped in the game; isekai'd into it; the likes. If not, it usually feels like I'm the friend just sitting there watching my friends play a role playing game for hours on end😅.

Haha, I get what you are saying. And in that case this might not be the manga for you.

The highlights of the story centers around the creative ways the MC uses the game system, and the consequences of how the game is constructed. In the same vein (but far from the severity) as "Murazukuri Game no NPC ga Namami no Ningen to shika Omoenai" it builds a relationship with the NPCs and the danger they face helps to heighten the tension.

For me the greatest thing about this manga (and LN) is the mystery and joy of exploring the rules of the game, as the MC earns respect by playing in her own way. Walks her own path. Hope that helped you some?
