[Izumi]

I've come up with a new recepeh

 

[Kayriel]

@Izumi

Thanks Ignimom.

 

[Ruduen]

Is anybody else bothered that the appropriate outfit for this setting is now a suit and tie?

 

[senzlord]

Wow a good suggestion and start

 

[YoraeRasante]

Ok, so.
Anyone else is thinking he may end up becoming a new version of the Demon Lord he talks about?
Some of the history beats he knows are different, like the timeline of the Umbra religion, showing it is a different version and thus not everything is going to fit anyway.
He ends up recruiting every member of the Demon Army he meets, some of them he mentions were some of the fiercest and presumably most loyal fighters.
They on the other hand become more and more loyal to him, to the point one of his followers outright said he follows him more than their gods.
His territory is expanding to the point he reached the allowed limit, and is extremelly protected from disasters, and is one of the most developed, attracting population. The only limitation was that if he expanded more he would end up separating from his kingdom... then he was made a duke, we don't know how that would affect that limitation but the king and his sister did plan to marry her to him to avoid the risk of him taking them over.
And thanks to his cheats he seems to be outright immune to most offensive magic already, and while much weaker physically does not seems to be a slouch either.

The art has totally gone downhill in the second season.

 

[Obsidians]

thanks

 

[Stalkerman]

@YoraeRasante well he would still need to launch an invasion on an alternate dimension/plane of existence and then we can say the bucket list to become demon lords complete

 

[C3PO]

@YoraeRasante, also two unknown to him "hero"esque characters just popped up out of nowhere. Maybe gods are already preparing to curb stomp him?


Did he just made public his exploits in this autobiography? I hope not.
Thanks for translation!

@Ruduen

I mean the renaissance era has something very similar to a suit.
And sure, they did not use ties... but it's not that big of a stretch considering they used some fluffy white napkin for a similar purpose.
I'm talking about a nobleman outfit, but considering he works for kings he should have been well paid...
Neckties became common in Europe in the 17th century, so its a bit later than most sword and magic settings, but it's ultimately just a fashion choice and could have become popular whenever.
Plate armour like the knights are wearing is something that became common around the 15th century if I'm not wrong.
So again, not a huge stretch to imagine people wearing ties for fashion in a fantasy world where plate armour is a thing.

Also, you could always use the argument that magic fucks up the timeline for better or worse when it comes to technological innovation.
Why invent a complicated, expensive and hard to build a heating system when you can just use fire magic to do the same "for free"
Why invent an electric pump when you can just fill a water tower with water made from magic and let gravity do all the work for you?

@C3PO
If gods are planning to curbstomp him, Jared's waifu harem collection powers are too OP. The heroes will only end up joining his forces, eventually.

 

[PeachyBee]

wasn't that too easy?

 

[CptHornSwoggle]

Good business is easy

 

[InfiniteParadox]

Been seeing a lot of complaints about the art and story since the new season.
Yea I get it.
Some of it has degraded a bit. But it's still pretty decent.

 

[Petnavis]

@PeachyBee Guy seems to have been waiting for an opportunity the MC gave him so that's no surprise - I imagine the difficulty is going to come from maintaining the virtuous state the guy wants the MC to be in so if the author's any good there'll be a moment where he basically has to go down a route that the guy disagrees with which results in tension building and eventually a reckoning

 

[Entropy67]

at this point hes gonna recruit the demon lord before they become the demon lord lmao
