The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest - Vol. 5 Ch. 17 - The Strongest Sage, Finding A Magic Stone

the lack of QC triggered me

In case anyone wondered about the weird conversation flow on page 10 where Matthias told her it's too much and she responds by increasing the output.

His original line is roughly that the amount she input is off/unusual/wrong
Which Iris took it as not inputting enough, hence increasing the output

And that leads into her...distorted definition of 'little bit' conversation (i.e. it's his fault for basically blowing shit up whenever he tries something for 'a little bit', so she took that as what he meant)

Year'all heartless grinches! You make the LHTranslation sad, I'm sure of it. And that makes me sad. How dare you? Hoang Tung, FOZ, don't lose heart!

The translation was solid, as far as I could see. The typesetting was clean. (I know you made a joke, KajurN.) And come on! Repeating double pages is nothing new. (I also don't get why they are done, but it definitely is a thing.) I think of it as refreshing way to sneak in some raws at those points. We get a glimpse of how it looked before and somehow get reminded, that this is a manga and we are only reading a translated version, that might contain changes. (Don't know why, but they do feel a bit different.)

Overall: Good job, LHTranslation! Whooooo're good scanlators? YOOOUuuuuu AAAAARRRRRREE!!!!! I made you Christmas Cookies! But I couldn't send them via Discord, so I ate them all.

EDIT: Can't do without edits.

Also, this manga isn't half bad! It should be, as the MC is OP AF, it's a harem story and the enemy setup (Stupid nobles/Demons) is a bit blunt. But:
[ul][*] The MC does his work earnestly, doesn't try to be a white knight and is aware, how he clearly is stronger than everyone else.
[*] The harem elements don't screw up the story progression.
[*] The story makeup is very fine. (We've got at least 2 overall arcs {Beat the demons/How will MC reach his goal to outgrow himself} and a goal of the month, or several months {build a magic defence wall}).
[*] The characters are likeable.
[*] The MC is actually being helped be the government, not blocked. (No frustration here.)
[*] The focus is NOT on fanservice, but on story telling!
[*] And the jokes are funny.[/ul]

@Qelix

Harem?
i only see Ruri with feelings(interested) for Matthias

 

[Qelix]

@TTX: Huh? Doesn't Alma also have the the hots for him? Well, his inner circle only contains females, which is suspicious and not all that fresh. Following the common tropes and as of their position in this story, I count "potential love interest of the MC" as one of their roles in this story setup. Even if Iris isn't interested at this point, well she is part of a all female group surrounding the MC. Therefore I see an upcoming, at this point still inactive harem. And even if the harem trope is weak in this one (Thank God!) or one might say, it might develop into one, yet it isn't one, I say, the groundwork has been laid out, at least one has the hots for him and there are potential rivals for her. This supermarket has been build, the only thing that is missing is the grand opening! ? It's a harem. Totally

iris taking the spotlight
i REALLY dont mind

Qelix is a typical EOP that will lick anyone's shoes as long as they translate something no matter how shitty the result is.

 

[JennyTals]

They summoned Haze Shenron the two star dragon from dragonball LMAO

 

[sonyalexandra]

Legendary black dragon Iris, transform to human loli. Red hair, red eyes, white dominant clothes, black ribbon, and black skirt ends. Yup, it isn't a red dragon, it's definitely a black dragon.

 

[firosahoge]

Needs more ecch- *cough* I mean, great series! OP OP OP and more OP but that's fine ?

 

[kenrms]

@Kiriha Thank god /a/ had enough of that bullshit and took over 5toubun's translation.

 

[Glomoro]

@Haremmony It just wouldn't be a translation by this group lately without multiple duplicated bubbles and a bunch of missing dialogue as a result. A lot of the other stuff people were complaining about in this thread is perhaps annoying (the two page spreads being there as a whole and in pieces for instance) but this is kind of an actual problem in terms of the story even getting told. I'd assume it's a problem with the typesetter and anyone that might be doing QC, or a lack of QC all together.

 

[kurohanani]

black dragon with red hair? dafuq?

 

[sirius180]
