Ride-On King - Vol. 16 Ch. 86 - The President and a New Riding Overture

[LordZero]

It ended way better than most axed series. Thanks for all the work translating this through the years.

Well it was still a fun ride of a manga

Nice story, but it seemed a little too light on the idea of responsibility. Purchinov especially should still have a duty to his citizens on Earth. Losing his memory also leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth if it’s meant to be a happy ending. The entire story was about being stronger together because of the friends you make along the way, but then they go and split the party and Purchinov just forgets those friends. Turns it into a “so long as you’re having fun in the now, that’s what matters”, which seems even more irresponsible. If he kept this memory and decided that the people of Earth would be better off without him then that’s one thing, and it was sorta implied by Purchinov’s flashback about his past mistakes, but loosing all memories of the good and the bad also looses us all that character development. Is this Purchinov’s punishment or his reward?

The ending is Putinov becomes amnesia, Vega becomes NEET, the human's greed has no limit, but Putinov's country is forgotten by author.

It's mixed feeling quality of ending. Like the author feels like rushing the manga since it is flop and cannot be adapted into anime again.

I’ll be honest, I think even the author forgot about Purchinov’s country. It’s (not) Russia, they’ll find someone else who can lead there.

Kinda lame but the ending was bound to be rushed after all of Putin's shenanigans.

For something that started as a shit post of totally not Putin being send to another world so he can ride wacky fantasy creatures

And then got a rushed final arc, with everyone pulling out convenient bull shit out of their ass to counter the convenient bull shit the final villain was pulling out of her ass, until the author flips the table and calls it and end

Personally i don't think this was never meant to be good, it just got popular beyond measure and the author was forced to make a story they never planned on doing just to keep the ball rolling, so in that sense it is understandable that we got this mess after we went above the 40 chapter mark

So given the circumstances, all in all it could have been worse, specially for someone that went bag chasing instead of sticking to their initial gimmick

With all that said the resolution is an enormous pile of crap, what was the point of forgiving the main villain and sending her to earth, when it was revealed that she was NEVER from earth, she was the daughter of the original girl that was isekaied, and was impersonating her mom all along, forgetting your own plot twist that you introduced one chapter ago is extremely dumb

That also doesn't works as a punishment because you pretty much gave them a free pass to go and start life free in a different world without dealing with any consequences for doing genocide on a planetary scale, doing that completely negates and undermines any criticism about abuse of power and entitlement, despite her only taking and never giving anything beneficial in return, ultimately instead the conclusion makes it clear that it doesn't matter how nefarious and morally bankrupted someone else is, they will always will be able to get away with their bullshit and start over being pretty much forgiven

That goes for both the main villain, and totally not Putin who allegedly was also a villain in his world, and then not only never had to face any accountability for his past, he even got to play hero and preacher in a different universe

As a result the moral an political commentary ends up feeling disingenuous and hollow, and hurts the end product more than it enriches it, if any, specially more aggravating when it tries to switch the blame onto the common folk absolving those in power for abusing it, when historically it is always the common folk the ones that take down those in power

Also also, this manga is ambiented in feudalism, rulers and those on top are not elected but chosen by fate and birth right, the idea of a meritocracy is not reflected in the manga itself, because those are not the tenants upon which the setting was build upon, so why even try to say that the world was going to fall apart if you don't put the right people in the right place, then dismiss the idea by bringing up how the world didn't end despite the wrong people being in charge for 500 years? your final message fails to land even for your own fictional story...

4/10 should have remain a shit post manga if this was how it was going to play out

I thought it could go on for a while but it's just ended. Did it get axed?

Anyway the ending is pretty good although a bit rushed. I guess it helped that I read about it ending in the comment section. I think it help prepare me for the ending. Unlike Sono Bisque Doll. That one really caught me by surprise!

I can't relate to people complain about rushed ending but after that one I can now empathize when people complains about rushed ending.

Also, thank you for the chapters! Looking forward to the author's next work.

 

[Himither]

That was quite a ride

 

[Mandalawangi]

That's a sequel bait if I'd ever see one.

Good job TL guys.

 

[NoTofu]

me to vega: NEET NEET NEET

 

[thegoatrider]

Damn Vega got the worst fate of all, she have to find a job. Anyway this is the end consider donating to any of my link and the next work i'm trying to do is Sousei No Taiga (Taiga of Genesis) if any of you guys remember that but i'm having trouble finding high quality raw from any of the website i only got the one with watermark i don't want to clean it or i could just work on it without removing the watermark and the official site doesn't accept paypal payment or google pay, so yeah if anyone have a high quality raw somewhere DM me cause i want to continue reading it.

Thanks for the ride 👌
