The Fake Alchemist

[LiniaLunaria]

I would say this is one of those cases where the editor lets the mangaka do whatever he wants because whatever he's doing is kind of working, at least in Japan. As this manga is tracking well enough, with both volumes even ranking on Oricon with very positive reviews.

I mean, volume 2 sold like 15k copies in just 4 days, and this was only for the physical edition.

Good info sir..

This is just a shittier version of that one Pixie/Twitter series from two-ish years ago. Almost the exact same premise just different execution and this one is much worse. Feels like this should be tracking at a 6.0 and not a 7.5. Can't see this improving all that much, feels like the author will lose the plot by chapter 20 and this gets axed.

I do really want to see where this is going and genuinely have no idea what to expect. A full pickup translation job is probably going to be complicated because there's a lot going on, and it's not clear where anything is going.

This shit's confusing. There's some interesting concepts at work here, but it's hard to figure out exactly what's going on half the time. Part of it is the piss-poor scanlation for most of the early chapters, but even when it's decent, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

This one is a real doozy.. Stuff went from 1 to 10 to pi to e to cake to 🚦 faster than you can comprehend
