Tensei Shitara Dainana-ouji Dattanode, Kimama ni Majutsu wo Kiwamemasu - Ch. 153 - Gallows.

That's a cool move name, also I'll doubt he'd kill babs considering that would probably bring lloyd or someone else over

So this guy is the leader of the group that had died? I lost track of this. If he is, why is he evil and powered up? And if he isn't, who was he again?

 

[Metasepia]

Doesn't this fool realize just how powerful Lloyd has become? This will not be nearly enough to bridge the gap between him and a literal Eldritch being.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

every time Jade shows up I feel we get closer to him coming back to life, wouldn't put it pass Lloyd either.

He's the demon elite that originally killed Jade and hijacked his body to steal the teleport ability. He was the antagonist for the Lodost arc which is Volumes 3 and 4.

this manga is pure hype

I hate to see the story going down the drain. The last arc was totally not for me, I was basically skipping the fighting sequence between the mechs as imo it is only worth it in an anime. But to see the protagonist going from a curious gorge to out right playing with the world for his enjoyment was disappointing, add to that the mechanical blob that not only it destroyed the 2 companions to the clone, but also I am supposed to ignore all the heinous stuff and torment that it did to the clone because it cares now or something dumb. So seeing the protagonist just keeping it alive for his entertainment was detrimental to his character.
And the fact that the final boss from the assassin's guild arc is now back as anti-hero or villain or something because the protagonist kept him around and did jack shit to contain him once he lernt that demon escaped was something alright. Not only we already know that he cant do shit to the MC. But the weird fixation that the author of the story in bringing that dead leader of the assasion guild in every little flashback makes it like he regreted killing him off. But even now we know that it is the demon not the leader in the body. So why even bring him back again?
Or his apathy and out right disinterest towards that sword maiden father who went missing trying to stop the monster invasion that is currently is expected have been done from that escaped demon is putting the MC in bad light.

It is sad that the story went from him letting the enemy do all that they can to learn their abilities and skills. To out right almost ending the world and harming countless people from his recklessness is not my jam.

While I hope that those who are sticking around for this arc enjoy it. I have to ask did I miss anything? Or am I alone in my disdain towards the change in the story?

rip

 

[Luke_chase]

They do that specifically to prevent aggregator sites from dumping the credit pages from the uploads, also how is it hard to read? There is nothing affecting the text or images there.

huh, so do they change it after all the aggregates have copied from mangadex or something? Cause the pages are split now. That doesn't make a ton of sense though cause I'm assuming they could be ripping it from the scanlation group's website too

Edit: nvm it was changed by a mod

I'm curious if the mangaka started writing for the story as this feels like it's getting more and more of the pitfalls I saw in their previous work. (haven't read the ln tho)

I am curious on what pitfalls as his prior work was not fully translated and uploaded to MangaDex. As for the author he seem to have similar issues with his balancing and scaling. As I still follow the other manga about the guy who was the weakest of the heavenly 4 sages. And again it starts strong but falls short in terms of proper power scaling. But at least the MC didn't just up and started cursing people or cast abominations to fight or something.

^ that's the work I was talking about
The mangaka has story credits on anilist at least, so I assume they're helping with the story. I'm mainly talking about the meandering/loose plot side of things though where stuff feels like filler a lot, or doesn't really have a reason to exist story-wise.

Thanks, that is one story I won't have to think about reading. I hope that people get to enjoy the new direction of the story however. As this shift still far better than that Isekai wife and farmer when her brother came to Japan as well. I still want a refund on all the time spent following that story before it went down hill.

Annoying not interested at all😐

 

[Guromi95]

Oh god, what a waste of a character death... Guisarme's death was the best part of the series

Jade's struggle against Guisarme was great, because it felt useless at first, but it was what changed the outcome of the fight
Guisarme was an actual demon who did horrible things, and the whole scene between him and the Assassin's Guild members was pure despair
Lloyd was for the first time struggling against an opponent, and the fight itself was interesting because it was more of a puzzle for him than an actual fight
It also shown Lloyd as someone mature when things matter, because when he decided to fight Guisarme, he was serious until the end

Retconning Guisarm's death basically trample on all of that, and make no sense since we've seen a "ghost" of Jade right after he died
It also make Tartaros once again the source the of the problem, which feels annoying because it's right after the author tried to make us feel bad for Tartaros by showing its good sides and its tragic backstory

In my opinion, the Alchemy Arc (and more specifically Tartaros) destroyed the story
It has less and less "discovery" about magic, which is the most important thing for Lloyd
Many of the plot points feels more and more forced (the misunderstanding between Ido and Lloyd, or how Tartaros managed to somehow take back Guisarme's leftovers)
The dramatic parts feels less impactful because the characters aren't properly introduced beforehand
Many of the side characters (mainly Tao and Sylpha) are becoming less important

I feel like the author changed his mind about how to tell his story
Because before, it was more of a "light-hearted" story with very strong dramatic parts, didn't mind killing characters, and the magic stuff was more mystical
Now look at what happened, the story feels more like a shonen, the author shy away from killing characters (Tartaros), brought back the only death that mattered (Guisarme), and the magic stuff fells more like DBZ stuff now instead (Ido/Tartaros vs Lloyd)

I hope the story gets better, because it's a real shame when the art is just so beautiful and unique

Soft body? I wonder if he can compete in the same dimension as Lloyd. Considering that dumpy, I doubt it, but he may vaguely, possibly, perhaps, maybe have a ghost of a chance.
