The Return of the Corpse King - Ch. 2.1

[pukemonster]

There's something that's lost in translation. The name Shiou rhythms with the japanese word for corpse king 屍王

ITS ALWAYS THE ROYAL FAMILY

hm.... i was here because of the cover art but that's about how much interest i have for this. anyone read the novel, is this actually good or just a miss?

 

[hafizrosly]

This is fun. Bro got same mind as cid but already sober from his fantasy

 

[kuShiNe]

Really cool intro, looking forward for more on this
That said, so he IS the hero then? Is that his granddaughter? Or did some schmuck took credit and becoming king?

 

[EntDraw]

Interesting series, I'll follow this one

Thanks for the TL

Why does she want to defeat him herself so badly? Just because?

 

[Resound]

when will be in manga/anime when their history books is actually fucking true?

 

[Octopassi]

Why is he cringing at his name? That's not the reaction i thought someone who is the last surviving person in a group called the corpse king will act like when hearing that name.

If they atleast played the trauma of this straight, even just his name id like it more, i want more angst. Still good though and I feel like we'll get those scenes down the line.

[RafaelShiori]

[hoangquan6a1]

kill the fucker who assumed the role of hero

He is probably already dead long ago because here he is said to be the primogenitor / ancestor of that princess and of all the royal family.

lmao now this is emminence in shadow worth reading. just immediately better.

Yeah, because here we do not have an insane premise of a ridiculousy correct chuunibyou “delusions” (actually premonitions or whatever) and that premise instantly killed our suspension of disbelief.

tbf, 150 years have passed. The Telephone Game is a thing.

This seems intentional.
He was forcefully sent back, then someone else took the credit for killing the demon king. Along with spreading stories of defeating the "traitorous corpse king" multiple times.
This is more like "history is written by the winner" than "telephone game".

Royal family who take the credit for them selves

What's new

Dude, you can't just throw out a line like "I've taken a total of 1,458 lives in the month I've been here" and not elaborate!

Like what, he's been sitting in the woods committing mass murder for a month? Or is he counting animals/monsters in that?

I mean if you freeze a small patch of woods you probably reach that number in plants alone, and then you add in insects and small mammals and birds and you can easily reach the hundreds of thousands.

 

[hippomann]

Shame that the web novel isnt available online in English any where. the one site that had it translated went down years ago. Or at least that's what I found after searching, if any one can prove me wrong please do.

 

[Kerlark_Dgrayman]

Great, a naive princess who wants to defeat the MC without knowing anything.
