The New Gate

[krutou]

Too many Japanese authors slap an isekai tag on a blatantly fantasy-only story in a sad attempt to trick readers into wasting their time. The isekai part of this manga only lasts 3 chapters.

While we are in the critiquing mood, I think my biggest issue with the plot is the MC's ability to get side-tracked.
Consider this;

Spoiler

After his fight with Ziralt/Geralt/Gerard, he wants to go to Kilmount, but...
he has to go to the palace to meet the princess first...
and then he has to escape from the holy land...
and then he has to stop the stampede...
and then he has backstory with people in the town...
and then he goes through his memories with Marino...
and then after he wraps up all that, he immediately gets sidetracked by the Church stuff.

He is 6 side-tracks in at this point. While everything he does makes sense as the situation develops, the MC is just dragged from event to event instead of pushing the plot forward himself.

7/10 very slow pacing, art isn't special and plot isn't special either

@krutou Isekai stories are fantasy dumb ass. Isekai only means other world. This manga takes place in another world. Nothing about this is "tricking" readers.

Just realized this has been coming out for 6 years. God I need the LN to just get licensed.

 

[Toykio]

The Pace! The pace is killing me! No seriously i wish this was a weekly release.

Wow this is... Really nice.
I love Sousou no Frieren, which is a series about life after the adventure, when all your friends are gone and you've yet to live another lifetime. This feels very similar. It starts off as a "Ha ha sword art online'd" series, but man, it's very emotional. Chapter 34 struck a cord with me. I really like it. I feel like people critique it too harshly because of the "Most powerful" cliche, while I feel like it does it at a level where it's still very enjoyable and doesn't take over the story completely. There's nothing wrong with something popular if it's good, after all.

@allyeeee
well I feel the same before, really

but lately the story feel bit stale and kinda boring. the long update doesn't help either

 

[Pringless]

@OuterRem if you want a fat ugly guy thats semi good i suggest reading Saihate No Paladin, its pretty good IMO

 

[HUNRonin]

This series is somehow really bingable while also being really boring for prety long stretches. When the emotinal scenes come they do hit and after volume 3 they come at a good pace, but often there's just too much talking. However the action is excellent and with chapter 64 and 65 things that have been building in the background are starting to come to the surface I'm actually hyped to see the next chapter.

 

[Unloyal]

Just found this and boy its good. . I just need to suffer now that I'm caught up urg.

 

[00two]

The quality of the scans that uxtef has is atrocious. It's truly sad that hesitation scans gave up on this one.

 

[Agavadon]

I am only reading cause there's no harem in this isekai.

 

[Yukisuna]

This is one of the best. I’m glad and very grateful that someone is still translating it.

 

[Aladdin260]

@00two they didn't really give it up it was out of respect for the official english translations back when they were first announced. but i do agree the quality is appalling.

 

[countdownshot]

What is the latest chapter equal to in the LN, I wanna go check it out but I can't seem to pinpoint it.

 

[Jeph]

The cnstant fanservice with the thot elf is annoying

 

[seccsevyn]

Tier a has to be my least favorite character

 

[Ntfgit123]

the quality of the scans becomes horrendous unfortunately
