Just let her attack you man, or you attack. It's that simple. :wooow:
Wolca is going to fix not one, but three women with PTSD and maybe get some prosthetics while he's at it.

Ahh, yeah, the manga is short cutting some stuff now. Read the translated LN by HeadcannonTL (vol 1 and half of vol 2) for this, but most of it might be rearranged later. People always troll about reading things involving reincarnation stuff.

Ages for the party, 13, 16, 17, 100+ years old Loli-baba. In descending chest size, of course. The LN typically assigns approximate ages to everyone.

Anyway, the in universe reason that the 13-year-old looks like that is essentially the author's thinly veiled fetish. Well, the Dark Fantasy Author's thinly veiled fetish, since almost everyone in universe is moderately attractive. And content age restrictions, most likely, considering this is a manga he hate read for the art where the gore and bad ends don't stop. The first page cut the details, but we got episode 1 Goblin Slayer activities happening before death. The LN doesn't delve into it, but sexual violence is alluded to pretty regularly. Monsters and Bandits doing dark fantasy stuff.
i see but is it really goblin slayer edgy throughout the LN? i had the feeling the bad end in ch1 had the heroines r*ped and even killed

so far my impressions is once his party survived the edge kinda mellowed out a bit, but then again we're still in ch2 in the manga

He comes from the real world, so I'm hoping he comes up with a good prosthetic for his leg so he can move around well. In a battle world like that it always amazes me in manga and stories where they just never thought to attach wood. Heck, it's a world of magic, right? Pop a golem or something onto the leg, there is zero reason to not be able to regain normal life.

And holy cow, those girls... it's pretty clear how broken they are over this. I really hope he starts recovering and they start to process/adjust properly, getting help. Which leads me to my next thought, I'm pretty sure I've only read one manga .. which I can't even remember the name of.. but only one where they had proper mental help at the Adventurer's Guild. This seems like a perfect reason to have it. I wouldn't want to live as that guy with girls who turned into soulless husks throwing themselves at me hoping to appease my damage with their bodies. That'd suck, it's like even worse than pity but instead they'd be using his body as their own self-punishment. That'd be horrific for all parties involved.

Hoping in the next few chapters things start to turn around.
it is a isekai so i doubt that they would go this far, but i agree that the warrior girl looks like she wants to do it out of duty or something but at least it is clear that they already liked him to some extent before

The world is. Nothing is ever shown explicitly, but the 2nd volume has a bandit group that lured out adventurer parties, and takes hostages/blackmail. The men got tortured and killed. The women got worse. It is never shown explicitly what happened, but we are told. So you don't have to worry about actually reading it, but yeah.

More major spoilers about that, since it is driving plot of the 1st story beat of volume 2 The bandit group uses the one most recent victim they hadn't touched to 'trap' MC's group. MC and group peg the entire thing as a trap they willingly walk into. We get a few POV's of the victim, one of which involves her being in a separate room/area and hearing the sounds of torture and assault. She is led to believe that if she helps them trap another group, she will get her friends back.

I'd put a soft warning over discussions of sexual violence, depictions of PTSD, and such as a trigger warning. I will reiterate that nothing so far was really shown beyond what is arguably necessary for the work to work. It'll do cycles. I can't explicitly promise that it'll never go farther, but the author statement seems to want to tread that line between bad things happen, but never go far in the actual depiction.

The MC's biggest gripe isn't about his lost eye and leg (the leg is more problematic), but about the world itself. This isn't a real spoiler, and will be obvious soon.

thanks for the reply, well at least its not over the top edgy as with akame ga kill, goblin slayer has some wholesome moments and most of the edgy content are usually connected with goblins anyway.
Also I do think the eyepatch is cool (mgs fan), but its kinda weird that they dont have decent prosthetics considering it's a fantasy setting.
also if you dont mind me asking, how much yandere are we gonna get?
im a fan of yandere heroines myself, so any yandere content is a treat

Well, the plot of volume 2 involves them going to the Holy City/seat of the church/capital of the south, with a primary motivation to get a prosthetic leg that can handle his improved sword draw technique.

About the Yandere factor. They aren't traditional yandere. They loved him in non-romantic ways before the incident. Part of the twisted heart bits is them also getting romantically obsessed. I can't confirm how deep it gets, but the author's intent is for heroine's to cry over the hero.

So, there are currently four-ish heroines. Possibly more incoming, considering events of volume two, but as of the translation I read, four.

Three of them are the party as is. The other one is a Sister of the church. She appears before the end of volume 1. I will note that all of them are decent people, and that has remained mostly unchanged. They are all prodigies though, in some regard.

So, number one is his Master, the loli-baba. The leader of the party, she's had essentially zero friends before she took on the MC as her student. The guy learned magic on his own, and his ineptitude and recklessness was the origin of his apprenticeship. That loneliness twists her view of him as the little brother/student to a deep attachment issue. The party was her family, and she views her failure for accepting the 'easy' mission and inadvertently maiming him. Everyone else knows that this is ridiculous and not actually any of their faults.

Number two is his own student. The youngest at thirteen, the MC is one of the few guys she's comfortable around thanks to a variety of reasons. She was the one that set off the trap, and blames herself for the injury the MC has because of it. He was the older brother figure to her, after her 'Royal Knight' family essentially split in half thanks to her ridiculous prodigy level skills. She can understand a sword technique by seeing it once, replicate it after seeing it twice, and change it seeing it thrice. His pure joy at spreading his technique attached her to him. So she affirms doing everything for him to make up for robbing him of his leg and eye. This shifts to doing everything for him so he can still practice, but in doing so she only has eyes for him.

Number three is our fighter, the 'tank', who is about a year younger than the MC. She comes from a tribe of warriors who practice a separate religion based around protecting comrades and meeting their god in battle. To die in battle is the highest reward, etc. One of her things was 'to find someone to die for', and the MC (and party) met that criteria after they fought together in battle for the first time. Brother in arms at first sight, not the traditional love. Again, protecting her comrades is her job, and she froze upon the Grim Reaper doing something. So the MC getting injured is both a great shame and a source of pride for her, because his abandoning hope for survival to protect the party is her religious code. That triggered her other teaching about strong warriors and birthing new tribe members. She nearly worships him over his martial prowess as well as his acts.

Out of those three, I'd imagine the warrior was most likely to fall in love first if events didn't happen, but they did. The group is very much defensive over other women approaching to a degree, but they don't infight.

The fourth is a bit special. She met him when he was training with his Grandfather, though the training was essentially torture. She was a sheltered sister in training, and technically met him first. He broke her sheltered world view thanks to his 'training' that she couldn't help. She was on a short trip, so only met him the one day, and then returned a week or two later. He was gone, and presumed dead. His survival came as a shock when he and his group arrived to work an escort detail for her. He doesn't recognize her, since he met her for like a day. She was pre-pubescent and shy, but she was obsessed before his injury as the first person she wanted to help but couldn't. She also wants him to work as a member of the churches' order of knights.

She is the Saint of the Heavenly Sword, and one of the four head's of the church. She's the youngest of them, but not by a great margin. But she wants him as her personal knight, essentially. The MC's act of killing the Grim Reaper makes him a point of interest for the Church as a whole.

So one is a hag witch, one is a religious battle junky bimbo, and the other is a 13 year old genius swordwoman.

And our MC is a now crippled master magic swordsman...

Bro you are cooked by not just them, but even the FBI 🫡 God speed Wolca, may you at least live long enough to see your kids before the Feds get to you...

There's zero logic talking to these people, they keep shoving their modern standards/rules onto FANTASY/FICTION and then get mad at YOU when you can tell them there's ZERO logic in what they are doing :shamihuh: its just like every social media group aka twitter, reddit, etc filled with retards either trolling or just straight up delusional and getting angry at those who can tell that they are wrong

Man, it's almost like you're reading a commercial manga written in the big 2025 and not a piece of actual medieval literature.
You guys are at best naive to think the reason the author wrote her up to be 13 is just because he wants to be "historically accurate" in a FANTASY setting, when an adult would suit it just fine.
Anyway, I won't have a problem as long as they don't sexualize her or make her to be a love interest.
