Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita - Ch. 83 - White Flower

[GreC_89]

What an amazing power.

With amazing firepower.

 

[tyrpios]

I'm hoping that with all these evil chapters, i won't become an evil reader.

Chapter cover made me think there was a Drakengard 3 cross-over for a moment.

Is it just the release schedule or is this arc starting to drag somewhat?

I'm very ready for this arc to be over. This was such a creative story until now...this arc just feels incredibly generic though. To the point of not actually trying to establish antagonists beyond them literally using something labeled "evil" so you know they're the bad guys. I didn't expect I'd miss the days of a food battle, but I do.

i have no idea who's the guy in the last page. but he eats the curry bread so he can't be the bad guy, right?

What chapter of the light novel does this correspond to, I've read the books so far but must have forgotten as I can't recall this scene?

That’s cause it’s not in the novel. Fran and Mera/Quina don’t meet until after the arc after this arc

 

[RanmaChaos]

Thanks for the chapter

I disagree. It establishes the Cult of the Evil God as the real antagonists. They Have two named villians and then one dupped rube. The Alchemist and the Priest are both named leaders.

Also the name evil here isn't something that we should dismiss as "generic" given what we know of gods in this setting it is very likely this "Evil God" isn't just some bad guy but the literal concept of evil.

But there was no buildup to the antagonists. They're just introduced right off the bat as mustache-twirling baddies. There's no reason to care about them except that they are in the position of "bad guy". Everything about this arc is just trope after trope.

Even the MC isn't really doing anything interesting. Being a sapient sword and introducing Fran to new ideas was cool, but in this arc he's just a tool to let Fran be OP.

[evil] moustache-twirling [evil] baddies doing [evil] evil things.

Not merely enough [evil] in this [evil] chapter!!

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thnks for the chapter!

I don't think the point is these guys anyway. I think the point is that we're establishing the Cult of the Evil God as a concept. We were previously introduced to the gods and the creation myth in the early parts of the story. So my guess is that the Evil God themselves is the end game baddy.

Entirely possible, but wouldn't that be a really generic scenario? Having to fight an evil god at the end is...basically one of those stereotypes people make fun of manga/anime/JRPGs for.

The appeal of the story was Fran being lifted out of a hopeless life and given the chance to survive and live the way she wants...having her save the world is just, you know. Every isekai ever. And part of the charm was that she and the sword needed each other, but now they're both so OP that they kinda don't.

I just feel that (as is so typical of these stories), the author had an intriguing premise, but didn't plan the story out all the way, so now that it is fairly successful we are just treading water with unoriginal ideas and lackluster writing.

I mean... you're reading an Isekai guy. For me the appeal is Sword Dad taking care of cute cat daughter.

White Flower is White phosphorus, right?

i mean, the author using "gold" as single currency like video games and you got level capped without evolution. i don't think he really care if some concept is to basic.
anyway, this arc quite literaly the built up or foundation for the villain. for the goon character and the ultimate villain, the evil god.
also her goal doesn't chage, she want to evolves and does fran ever shy away from helping someone? well they almost died in this arc, remember? B-rank monster almost killed them if forlund hundred sword didn't showed up.
if you talk about the golem, well yeah they're OP because they're the only one who got the perfect counter for them.

well i disagree, i think the author clearly have baseline until certain point.
well next arc is considered the best arc by many including myself, so hopefuly tis arc speed up a bit
