The Fake Alchemist - Vol. 2 Ch. 4.7

[hullmat991]

The power of the hair.

The ultimate power.

Either the author assumes you'll understand certain things or it's lazy writing or there's a divergence in translation. Either way I wish all these subchapters were unified.

Punishing thought crimes i see

First obvious sign that the alchemist girl is a crazy bitch. All this justice talk is just to gratify her own domination/humiliation fetish, and uses these laws as justification for her psycho tendencies. Soon you'll see she's even crazier than this.

god damn 4 (technically 20 if we're adding all the .x chapters) chapters in now and i am significantly losing the plot with every .x chapter. it is just me?

 

[nekaz]

But seriously Norn is as...fascinating as she is fanatical and arguably borderline insane. I'm sure she'll stay relevant as we go forward but I'm honestly more interested in the elf plotline. We kinda just sidelined it to get this "arc" of Norn giving heavy-handed lore dumping (some which I don't even entirely get but whatever) and a duel that just highlights how strong, pontificating, and unstable Norn is. And that's...not what I want to see from this manga. I don't mind Norn, but all this focus on her (and whatever her vigilantism will lead to) takes away from the more interesting and well-established plotlines (but hey if you do find whatever Norn is up to interesting more power to ya).

Thanks for the translation.

Ey yo what the actual f*ck? Wasn't this b*tch preaching about "wanting to make slavery disappear" and how nobody was "above the law" two chapters ago? This is the definition of a hypocrite and a delusional villain!

Nora tell the MC even if you get headaches, take the elf and all the valuables you can and get the f*ck outta there or better yet, destroy the damn restart crystal and pray you won't accept to have that conversation this time!

Believe me I'm sure nobody wants anymore Norn or her stupid furries anymore.

The author has lost their mind. Start. It out as a fairly nice story but because of this new character, it has swiftly turned into a steaming pile of shit.

 

[breakthelimit]

She’s a vegan, she’s a hypocrite and she’s a woman?
sum it up she’s the Isekai Karen

 

[Bloddrake]

This psycho bitch reminds me of American far-left activists like BAMN or some such. (By Any Means Necessary)

 

[Melgan]

Smh, people here just can’t take an independent strong boss woman- just kidding, what a crazy bitch. This world is scary with all the alchemy spyware, potent hexes and insane vigilantes.

If I were to be sent there I would just take one defensive cheat to protect myself from all this hexy mojo and either a combat or mobility ability to run away. No way I’m staying in cities with all the crazy.

Thank you kindly for the translation, despite the quality, is good enough, you are doing your best I assume.

The direction the story is going leaves me perplexed, the MC feels sidestepped, it appears as if the author has a huge femdom and humilitation fetish.
I don't like the attitude of the magician, also hypnotizing the guy, for someone who cares about law and equality is quite the grand statement to use it.
We are only 4 chapters in, but it feels like the plot has already drastically changed.

she's a psychopath 100%, the moment she slaved the guy was pretty much showing her hipocrisy.
also yeah, the focus is too big on Nora, it's great that she's strong but it exudes that humilliation fetish hahaha

 

[Knighto]

She’s a vegan, she’s a hypocrite and she’s a woman?
sum it up she’s the Isekai Karen

and as her multi abilities shown, she prolly is also a harvester, that bow and arrow was really dumb, not only showing her hipocrisy but it was a moment straight outta Hunter X Hunter jajaja, like holy crap she's using Nen

Feels like the flow in dialogue is off because it feels like it's a case of tonal whiplash. Decimal chapters that aren't extra chapters are not doing this series any favors so far as I'm determining if this was worth a follow or not.
