yeah him being ugly in the eyes of everyone else in this world really falls flat when he looks exactly like any other isekai mc, it doesnt even play up the goddess' vanity either because i wouldnt say he even looks less beautiful than any other character in this manga. and I dont remember if we saw how other people see his face, so I really need to see how everyone else views him cause it has to be crazy as hell
It’s actually a great detail giving credit to the manga artist but he IS uglier than everyone. This is portrayed by him being drawn less detailed than everyone. It’s done subtly, sort of portraying the fact that he isn’t actually ugly, but notice there is a lot less details on his eyes and hair compared to everyone, with exception of funny anime eyes.
Mostly because he views Tomoe and Mio as family, like they're siblings or cousins. Unless you're a specific kind of degenerate, that isn't exactly appealing. There's also a certain amount of power dynamic: There's a level of coercion there due to the master-servant contract that he isn't comfortable with. The last bit is that he isn't entirely certain he plans on staying in this world, so he is hesitant of any entanglements because of that.
O . o
Has nothing to do about transphobia, dragons are genderless and can switch as desire. Point in fact, Tomoe identified as male when he first met Makoto. It was only after he bonded with him as a familiar that he took a female form to better server her new master.
So yeah, it has nothing to do with some twisted sense of revulsion about gender identity and is more about not liking overly clingy sluts that only lust for the power of his seed or perceived political power.
Poor Eva-san, she's actually being subtle in her flirting but Makoto is super dense with that kind of stuff. He outright rejects all of Mio, Tomoe, and Root's blatant advances which makes him more incapable of detecting normal(ish, calling him God was a bit much) flirting
actually they have a secret agreement, the first to sleep with Makoto will be Mio, but she accepts Tomoe doing it too after her.
which will actually happen in the future ... still way too far from this moment.
Root realized Makoto has an aversion for hyumans, well, it's mostly because the teaching of the goddess on that world and how they f*cked up in the demi-plane with the killing of his people. (mini tomoe T_T)
remember that in his own world he was already a manga protagonist, with pretty much the 2 most beautiful girls fighting for him. (except the prez of the SC that is the other isekai'd)
Makoto's taste more than older than him, he likes the taller, he had a crush on Hasegawa even if he rejected her, he kinda regrets it.
On pg 20, I find it really weird that Makoto chose to use regular telepathy with Shiki even though Lime went out of his way to use the improved telepathy. The topic was kinda controversial too if someone were to eavesdropping
Btw is there any manga where MC doesn't get flustered when dealing with someone like Root?
Huge thanks for this translation. I was getting worried since it’s been two weeks since raw release plus you said something along the lines of if someone else wanted to pick this up. Plus none of the previous cred pages/contact links/ Patreon/ko-fi were accessible.
I know this manga is pretty hard to translate since it has bad raw quality and super text heavy. A reason why such a popular series was left untranslated for 5 months.
dropped all series cause of work life and college prep. I deleted them cause i had no clue who was subbed for which manga. And for ko-fi just changed the name. ya also be patient i have been doing it lil by lil since release. Welsome
Makoto is a normal looking guy in his original world. It's just that the goddess made the hyuman all mannequin level. From their pov, our average is ugly.
as you can see i was focusing on keeping the honorifics intact in this chap but danna felt weird. So changed the second time but forgot to change the first one
Funnily enough, she didn't. The only things the goddess did was grant him the ability to speak with anything not human, its not even a curse preventing human speech, he just cannot speak it due to his own weakness, though I personally think that the goddess just designed a very poor language and that's why he cannot speak it. For that other part he was not cursed by her to be ugly, he is simply average looking in japan, but since average beauty there is peak beauty in japan he is deemed ugly.
The Goddess did absolutely nothing regarding Makoto's looks. He was a 6~6.5/10 at best on Earth looks wise(made worse because the rest of his family are 10/10, and he looks worse in the Goddess' world because the ugliest hyuman is naturally a 9/10 making him look down right deformed in comparison(in their eyes).
Don't remember this in the novel, but I read it before covid.
MC will proabbly use super speed, ingredients of the frontier the temple would go bankrupt trying to aquire, ingredients of the pocket dimension or a alchemist with a incredible level of skill that is impossible to replicate even when knowing the recipe.
there is exist manga like that. in ecchi and hentai manga. if you want an exception, this manga is exist "Nageki no Bourei wa Intai Shitai ~Saijaku Hunter ni Yoru Saikyou Party Ikuseijutsu~".
