Im seriously getting tired of this dude, it’s getting repetitive.

I was told Katsuya and crew was dead after the wallet thief arc , why is he still alive?

Personally I don't hate Katsuya. Some ppl just can't stop digging deeper and deeper. And he got the AI girl manipulating him into believing in himself even more so. And maybe manipulating others around him into not stopping him.

If anything, IMO it's a shame that he's so well written to be on a direction path of self destruction.

I'm kinda curious whether Katsuya's team will end up using the medicine, or if someone (probably Lily) will end up dying because he can't bring himself to use it because of how much he dislikes Akira.

(not asking for actual spoilers)

This is all new territory isn't it because iirc.

Katsuya should be dead already. Unless the author is messing with the timelines and adding in new plot events.
You got the timeline wrong. Akira hasn't even met Carol yet, what you refer to happens multiple arcs after her introduction.

LMAO at all of the unspoken drama. Katsuya's such a little shit. Lily is cute; I hope she doesn't bite it. F for Yumina dealing with her dumb childhood friend.

i don't know why but this scene here for some reason im just thinking of a scenario where katsuya is a jedi but slowly because of jealousy, envy, and pride...he's getting corrupted by the dark side and since he knows to avoid it-the temptation to cross over remains constant.

our boy akira overhere..is just a rando who can use the force...but the dogma of both the jedi and the sith never was a thing he considered so to the sith and the jedi he might be using their "ways" but to him it's the force. one guy stands for justice and duty but slowly somehow he lost the plot while the other guy just don't give a damn but in the grand schemes of things..he's the one doing a better job at applying those values.
:huh:

What I don't understand is the amount of hate readers give the kid.
I understand that he has tons of bad points: a dense harem protag, jealous & picks stupid fights with Akira, has a passive brainwashing aura
But there are plenty of worse characters from other series, like the spear hero (dumb harem protag, jealous & picks fights with MC), the pig (actively manipulates), the glasses guy in the tortoise arc (actively manipulates, brainwashes, guinea pigs his followers)
And they are actual adults, compared to the kid, who is a kid!
But the amount of hate he has is still greater than those guys
It's like he has a passive brainwashing aura that affects irl, but it makes pp hate him
Because they don't get what they're reading lol. People like us get where Katsuya is coming from and we cut him some slack but others are just trashing him because they don't really get what the writer was trying express to them. You know how they say "obvious is not obvious"? Its true for many things. They read the manga. They understood what happened but they don't really lol Ive seen many comments about those isekai or those do over stories where the MC restarts and have a goal he wants to complete but then there's a character that never was on his radar ends up taking notice of him and sometimes getting in the way. To the reader's perspective we think its annoying, but to the CHARACTERS, they don't have our perspective. The readers would trash those characters so bad-even using slurs and derogatory words. These brats..are going through that right now. :meguusmug:

Looking for CLRD (should be able to handle SFX)
And QC (Should be able to understand Japanese, and have proofreading experience)
i asume QC stands for Quality Checker, but what the fuck is CLRD? can't be Cleaner because that doesn't have a D.

Like just use normal worlds...

I thought katsuya and him were on a mutual understand after they covered each other in the pit?
Also holy fucking shit I dont care about katsuya
Imagine how much we could have accomplished if we didnt waste 18 pages on NPC b-plot drama
I haven't read the WN or LN but people were saying that event played out quite differently than in the manga. Not really sure what the intent is - throw the novel readers off the trail and set up a diverging plot line? Make Katsuya somewhat more reasonable but have things end up poorly regardless? Seems like a wasted effort if they try to make him more tolerable just to force the fight anyway.

I could have never guessed that.
Redrawer is a pretty common job in scanlation and incredibly important, too. When they say "Must be able to handle SFX", they mean they expect the candidate to be able to remove the Japanese sound effects and redraw the background art. Depending on the team they might be responsible for adding the sfx back in English.

I couldn't find a good example for SFX but this is one for regular text and the concept remains the same.

It's the lack of self reflection that does it for me, at least.

Even back in shield hero's web novel, the three idiot heroes did get to reflect on their mistakes after everything went to shit for them. And the Book Hero from another world is supposed to be the villain AND is fully aware of what he's doing.

But Katsuya has so little capacity for introspection that on the rare ocations where he does reflect he ends up in the exact same place. And because of
how his perception of himself affects how others see him through his connection to the old domain
he ends up literally rewarded for nothing but his ego

The author literally had his AI fragment explain that she EXPLICITLY IS MAKING HIM DO THAT. People be forgetting fundemental properties of characters, huh?

You have to be joking
This girl literally just spawned into existence, even the real characters say shes a shitmob
That should have been 3 pages tops not 18 holy fucking shit this story isnt going anywhere

She is the catalyst for their interactions and drama going forward in the fight, mate. It's pretty obvious that we're seeing the setup for the fail-out coming that is going to make the fight go lopsided. The fact that you're too blinkered to see that is seriously disappointing.

You wouldnt know good writing if it took a shit on your face, this is genuinely just waste of pages
Some random girl fanboying over katsuya for 8 pages straight told us nothing we dont already know
Could have done the exact same thing if cut in half

One of the draws of this manga is how it portrays the characters and makes them believable people.
Believable? Just about every character in this manga (including the MC) seems not to understand that their job is risking their lives for money. Everyone's eager to be the one to take the most heat, rather than get in, do the work, get out in one piece and get paid. It's not like they should be hungry for recognition, both sides are trusted with more and more responsibility with each assignment. It's just petty grandstanding and taking risks for nothing.

I know what a redrawer is, i have been a redrawer for like 2 Fire Force chapters, i would still not have guessed what they meant with those initials.
