I enjoy how dumb our mc is

@henkingu
That works require an author capable of writing a wise sage rather than an author who uses it as a background to justify their teen MC being OP.

I guess it's at least better than a literal god giving him OP powers. Maybe?

 

[xyndrome13]

that skill looks so cool ngl

 

[Alrange]

Cliff hang er
That thong tho 😳

 

[Danear]

i still doesnt understand the reason why wont he just told merlin he is actually the thunder emperor. did i miss smth?

 

[Nk9bjP4A]

@Danear because the author needs a reason to generate confusion, lies, and silly plot.

 

[toshi2ga]

@Danear Given an opportunity for a fresh start, why would anyone give into old responsibilities ?

 

[henkingu]

@Oryangatan pretty much. Author wants to write a high IQ character when his is that of a monkey.

 

[flannan]

@Spoonikle - she isn't an elf. She is the demon king's daughter, which means she is a demon. Demons should have more physical and imposing looks than thin and ethereal elves.

@StLL - he wanted to see her growth as a sorcerer, not as a woman.

@xxxNothingxxx - maybe she's the evil mastermind behind the fall of magic?

Epthal's unique ability is being a magnet for hot demon women.

He has the mojo to bridge two races, and bring peace to the world.

"I don't want to stand out" (Proceeds to start out a public duel with a super-power-mega-move.)

 

[Spoonikle]

@flannan - WTF you talking about? Merlins a STICK FIGURE with melons attached...

the hell you farting over here? I hope you are just joking here, because this character is a "big tiddy elf" with a different name (Demon-kin) attached.

and as every man of culture knows - cows should just be left out to pasture.

 

[Joonhas]

Still waiting for that true reason/explanation, which stops him not just asking Merlin to meet up in his dormitory, and there with privacy, telling her straight out the truth about his reincarnation.. Of course that would make way too much sense, and we wouldn't get to see this stupid prolonging of the truth coming to light...

Of course I know it, that if it's written/done well, the moment when Merlin learns the truth could be something really emotional, and/or something very epic even.. But here since we have not been given any real excuse for him not revealing the truth the moment he sees her... It's just very idiotic and redundant for him doing something like this with no actual reason behind it.

 

[BozMagic]

Ooo a cliffhanger
This is the 3rd “second reincarnation” manga that I’ve read so far and most of them make zero sense and the second reincarnation plot device is not even used but this is a bit different, while yes it is still isekai trash, it’s one of the better ones I think? Idk I’m literally square brain

Thanks for the translation

 

[Orion2G]

Wow this character is actually a fucking mong lmoa. Low IQ kid. So much for being reincarnated.

 

[Oryangatan]

@BozMagic
1) This isn't isekai. I agree on this being stupid though.

2) It has not explosions and cute girls. Michael Bay's Transformers movies have shown that a good plot and interesting characters aren't needed to be successful.

 

[BozMagic]

@Oryangatan
Wdym it isn’t isekai? It’s double isekai is it not? And yes I agree that this is dumb lmao

 

[Ken-Oh]

YYEEEEeessss!!!

 

[Oryangatan]

@BozMagic
I was about to explain how being generic shitty shonen doesn't make it isekai, but I decided to check the summary before responding. It really is isekai. Even worse, it's one of those isekai where you can completely remove the isekai part, and nothing about the story will change.

And now I'm here with my foot in my mouth, looking like an idiot.

I will say that reincarnating into the future of the same world is its own thing though, so it isn't a double isekai.

I’m really getting annoyed and frustrated over how he won’t just tell her in private and then swear her to secrecy. How difficult is it to take her to a place where no one will hear them, tell her what happened, and then explain that he just wants to have a peaceful life with no one learning his true identity? She’s clearly still loyal to him and cares a lot about their master-student relationship. Beating around the bush and lying to her like this is wasting time, frustrating to watch, and just insulting to her pure intentions and how sad she was when he died and how happy she’d be to have him back. It’s nice to see somehow call out the mc for acting the EXACT SAME as their previous life, but not if we’re not going to do anything with it besides waste some chapters lying to the person that cares about them the most. Not to mention the sheer resources and answers the MC would have (Merlin would be his best resource for what happened as somehow that’s been alive these past 400 years AND she’s a direct ancestor of that slave girl whose name I forgot, so she could help with her training. I mean its not like the MC is accomplishing his dream in this school he’s already 100x better than; comparing notes with Merlin and entering a more elite academy would actually be helpful). What even is this story doing anymore besides wasting time? Ever since it was mentioned she was alive their reunion was the only actual realistic goal that’s popped up in this story and I looked forward to it. This is just infuriating and feels like a serious character being used as a way to fill time.

Also, I’m just saying, but if he did want to keep his true identity secret he should have just went along with her instead of making up some random scandalous story (which if believed would hurt his past life’s reputation and otherwise is a pretty obvious lie that could be easily ripped apart). Playing dumb would have been the best way when he’s failed on THIS many accounts (why would a descendant from somebody and their mistress act, think, and have knowledge EXACTLY matching that person; even if it’s too be believed that the mistress was given special knowledge (why would you give your mistress the secrets to your glory and why has no one else popped up from this supposed line before showing off their amazing skill?) that doesn’t affect the way you think or account for the 400 year gap in knowledge). The conclusion she came to by herself STILL didn’t oust his true identity. He should have just said something like “I don’t know? Maybe. I’m just me. Now this is getting kinda weird, so can you leave me alone?”. Its like the plot’s taken stupid pills.

@Oryangatan @BozMagic reincarnation, wish fulfillment, and isekai are all cut from the same cloth. They’re all generally power fantasy (poorly done power fantasy) which is where most of these tropes are from. They’re also all using set in the same type of fantasy world. I mean I imagine there are some exceptions, but most of them pretty much different ways to tell this same story. Its like the exact same pair of pants, but in different colors.
