Yarikonda Otome Game no Akuyaku Mob desu ga, Danzai wa Iya nanode Mattou ni Ikimasu - Ch. 11

[Darkshade13]

Pedantic grammar thing: On page 13, just write "see ya" instead of "cya". The latter is excessively slangy (and text/internet slangy at that) and not everyone's going to understand it, especially if they aren't native English speakers or aren't heavily into texting or netspeak abbreviations and slang terms. It's not like there wasn't enough space in the bubble for the whole thing.

Thank goodness the potential wife candidate is also overly mature and Japanese coded. Sure would be rough to deal with cultural differences or anything interesting about forming a relationship at this age

Japan loves their yamato nadeshiko waifus. Because why create intrigue through cultural understanding when you can just reinforce that the only true and proper way is the way you already know and have been told is best?

This is not being siscon. I also agree with the prince. There is no way a six year old girl should be sacrificed for such political matters. I know the mc is a good guy who will take care of her but still 6 is just too early

"Super Protective of little cute Sister" "No man shall have her!" If not for MC being introduced I'd assume HE was the Siscon MC (Siscon doesn't need to be IN LOVE with one's sister! It can just as easily be WAY to attached to your sister in a non-romantic fashion too! Just cause so much INCENST loves to push this doesn't mean that's the END ALL BE ALL of the description! Some people just have their head in the gutter for too long that they see "Hentai Tropes" everywhere Now, even when it SHOULDN'T apply)

Honestly, I expected princess's dress be more of Spanish style as in comparison to their militaristic outfits. I guess the author is more comfortable with drawing eastern and mideuropean styled dresses.

"The brain is part of the soul" So let's make magic to read the memory of the soul.

Dude, you just did some weird ass leap of logic there that doesn't even relate to the spell you want to make. Your goal is literally to read the soul, not read the brain under the assumption that it holds memories of the soul.

And it also disregards how your memory transfers from one existence to another. It is multiple levels of blind leap of logic that you include the brain as part of the reason why you hold memories of another world, this should've been solely soul focused.

I get it, you wanted to say something that sounded deep and make some sort of spiritual connection between body and soul and multiple worlds. But the way you got there falls flat and doesn't logically connect through properly, especially not when the spell immediately disregards the connective element you wanted to try and jam in there.

And if anything, the way to it isn't even remotely connected to even the soul. Your spell is going to focus on reading mana flow, it's closer to things like a mana vein or something, the natural forces of magic and it's pathways rather than reading your own soul, nevermind the brain. Why did you even bring up the connection of brain to soul? Also you were saying you're going to convert life force into mana, but then asked what happens when mana turns into life force and saying life force goes to where the soul goes...

I don't know if it's the translation that got confused or if it's the original text that has no clue what or where it's going, and is just giving any mumbo jumbo it can to sound deep and intellectual only to fall flat on it's face.

At the very least, if you're going to go this route of the collective unconsciousness through mana flow essence across all life forms, then at least properly connect the dots so that the readers can understand you're going down some Jungian philosophy thing.

Honeslty, this just all smacks of the author's reach exceeding their grasp. They wanted to do some intricate, smart, well-reasoned idea, but couldn't actually pull it off, so the result is this mess of nonsense that just papers over its own faulty logic.

Should've just copied the homework from Persona to draw into the very base concept of Jung without having to do any extra research, claim that he was making a spell to tap into the very nature of magic and accidentally dip into the collective unconscious, the ocean of souls that floats between worlds, and leave it at that.

Would've been less confusing to get to the excuse of him developing a UI Navigator world voice in his head that's basically just a mental clone of who he is with universal knowledge based on what little we glimpsed...

Seriously I suspect that this copied off Reincarnated as a Slime and his alternate self is basically the Great Sage of this story just based on the very little bit of actual tangible information we have.

 

[AsteroidCreator99]

I have the feeling that he may be a siscon

 

[KeyaBladeA]

making magic is barely an inconvenience

 

[Jgold101]

Fuck off sis-con, or you know actually meet the MC and stop being so annoying.

 

[Lightbrand]

We have a real siscon standoff here

 

[ismaelh]

That memory thing was just... weird. I hope its a convoluted way to explain why MC remembers even the most miniscule details of the game/life (something most other works gloss over) and not a fucking stupid "let me google that for you" mechanic.

 

[Goldenzeal]

Ten points MC little sister ends up married to the Dark Elf Prince!)

alright, bet
i offer 2 webcookies

 

[Sebbrain]

Magic in this world is so easy, literally just think of a neat concept and focus a little and voila! Insta super-rare spel

If it goes the same was as the novel this magic is used maby 3 times and just is forgotten about.

Spoiler: probable future spoilers

it's used to bring a couple things from the Japan to this world one of which is kind of outrageous

Gotta love a dumbass that wants to watch his country burn 🤦‍♂️

It isnt forgotten about. Memory regularly shows up and even evolves.

So its even worse than what I imagined... never trust an isekai writer guys, they will always pull a deus ex machina from our world eventually. Otherwise they'd write honest fantasy.

 

[Psychronia]

Okay, not bad.

Before, there was no motivation to try to make this marriage work besides obligatory story romance and political success, but now the goal is also to secure a means of creating medicine for mom. Now, we have a conflict.

 

[panneqaha]

People seem to forget that political marriages means marrying off people young be it girls or boys! So they are in fact not too young

I'm pretty sure that actual political marriages involving children were quite rare (at least in medieval Europe, which we all know isn't isekai fantasy land etc.). It was much more likely that they'd be engaged, but not actually married until they were both 'of age' (whatever that meant for the cultures in question).
To be fair, it reads to me that even the people involved seem to think that pushing for marriage so early is quite unusual, though apparently deemed necessary to make sure it all actually happens as soon as possible.

Yeah, everyone with their head screwed on straight thought this is rushing things. In fact, marriage like this is usually not allowed but the Emperor had to permit it under a "special exception" clause.

This is also a good moment to bring up that Reiner was actually super angry that this was decided without his consent and told the Emperor he should marry the Princess instead.

The exchange also included a conversation as to why Rid was the one they settled on in the end and it is all due to political scheming.

Initially, the Emperor wanted to marry Fara to the second prince, Kiel. The nobles protested saying such a maneuver gave the Empire zero benefits. The real reason is that they wanted their own daughters to be a prince's wife and the Empire does not look on polygamy favorably. If Fara married the prince, that is one less prince the nobility can use.

Next were the ducal families. All of them refused to let their sons marry because they considered the baggage the marriage would bring to be not worth the benefits. More specifically, the child they'd eventually have has a claim to the Renalute throne which would cause additional factional strife amonst the capital/central nobility. This was not something any of them were willing to deal with. And again, they prioritized getting their daughters married to the princes.

Next were the Marquis families. In the Magnolia Empire, Marquis families are actually considered equivalent or even superior to ducal families in certain aspects. Reiner tried to push the marriage to another one, the Marquis of Kelvin. The Emperor said Kelvin and his son were both too old and simply inappropriate. This is when the Emperor reveals the bride is only 6 years old.

Rid is the only one similar in age, counts as "royalty or equivalent nobility", and far from the capital. It has to be him.

I do think there's something off with the translation flow.

Finding the place that life force goes to, and suspecting that's the "soul" is one thing. Projecting your consciousness is another thing. Theorizing that the soul carries SOME memories is also another thing. But tying that all together into a magic that directly reads the soul is skipping like 5 more steps.

Also its nice that they clarify the brother being manipulated by the extremist faction immediately.
