Just think of it as having a retarded mc, literally! And the story would be fine.

Well tis only 4 chapters, still too early to say much, but its another kind of "adventure guild manga" thats not isekia.

@Fauchard yeah I felt the same. She only seems to try keep her father in check, but really doesnt nothing about the conditions the knights slaves have to work in. While happily living as an officer.

While this is sort of a generic power fantasy type fantasy manga, it cannot be overstated how much of an improvement the manga is over the original source material

@MrIncognito is the LN/WN that bad?
Hoh buddy let me tell you some things!
  • The novel doesn't actually show you what Greed's experiences were like in the Black Knights. It just starts with the guild master asking him to join the guild and continues from there.
  • A recurring theme throughout the novel (and probably this one too) is that the villains believe that the strong should rule over the weak, and the strong MC rejects this notion. However, despite him rejecting this notion, the novel MC punishes every villain by unilaterally deciding, as the strongest person present, to murder them on the spot. The first villains in the manga are instead arrested to be put on trial.
  • If you're caught up on the manga, you may have noticed that the first villain was Sheila's father. He murders him. Right in front of her.
  • Sheila's reaction to him saving her by ruthlessly cutting down her dad is to immediately discard what little characterization she had and replace her entire personality with "is constantly super horny for the MC".
  • In regards to Sheila's debt, in the novel the guild master makes a crass joke along the lines of "how about you pay him back by fucking him?"
  • If you think the MC is a Mary Sue in the manga, he's much worse in the novel. He solves the unbreakable slave collar crisis by putting one on himself and figuring out how to magically hack it in a few seconds.
  • Maybe this is a low blow, but the character designs in the novel look like they're from the world's most forgettable high school visual novel rather than the adult women here. The only way to tell Sheila and Kuena apart is which has which anime hairstyle.

Okay fair that LN reeks of wish fulfillment fanfic.

Guess it was a good idea to find the raws and use an automated tool to translate it roughly, it probably doesn't even deserve to get picked up XD

Though, to be fair, the manga is actually not THAT horrible. Just very much a "baby's first OP fantasy fic".
