The whole story is about him over coming it ( mostly ), with the help of whole some ( polygamous ) family values.
>>142374376
he has nothing on Tales of Demons and God's MC
old fuck is brought back to when he was a kid and keeps hitting on the girl he fell in love with in her past life, who currently is also still a kid.
At least Paul calls Rudi out on his Genji plan bullshit,

I mean there's MT, ate the death god, monkey ojou, and coiling dragon

Heads up, I'm translating Aisha Arc. Should be done in a week or two.
>>142376233
I thought the author deleted Aisha Arc.
>>142375915
It wasn't intentional, but that just makes it better.The finale also has all of the other potential fates for him coming together to help him, including oyakodon end and sexy mad scientist end.
Also it seems to be widely accepted in-setting by the other women that there's no way in hell he's going to be faithful.
>>142376668
That's why I'm translating it.
>>142375984
Just thanks to this image I'm going to read this LN, I assume the MC and her are a couple at this point right?
>>142374128
I dropped it once I realized he wasn't going to be banging any lolis. Rudeus a gay.
>>142376753
They hook up in the second to last volume, but there's only 8 so it doesn't drag out too long. Also the series goes by a format for three sets if main characters, though Shinobu(the guy in the pic) is the "main" main character. The other two sets are a detective who attracts middle school girls and then the older sister of one of said middle school girls who is sort of a supernatural mercenary. I should also add the detective and mercenary are both fully grown adults if you're sick of it always being high school students.
Wasn't a sequel to this supposed to be developed with a different MC? When will it be written?
>>142375984
>it's okay when the mother does it

Any idea what this novel is about? Art seems good. Found it in another ln thread quite a while ago.
>>142377130
Minor typo, there's 9 volumes.
>>142374376
He starts to get over that. I totally agree, the dude is the worst kind of NEET creep to start off with but his self-consciousness of it constant efforts to fix it make it a pretty great story in the end.
>>142377130
So this guy >>142375984 >>142375149 is not even the main character, just one of the three mc's present in the LN?
>>142377007
He identifies one of the main girls as a loli on sight and she does not at age all throughout the series.
>>142377254
Of the three, he's the primary main character, so to speak. The critical endgame in the novels almost always falls to him.
WN updates never.
Fuck you guys. I liked it.
Is World Three STILL not done translating the Adventurer Chapter?
>>142378381
Dunno, for all its flaws it was a nice little thing, can't really hate it.
>>142374963
Nei Li is a creepy stalker level fucker. Good call. He's also a wish fullfillment gary stu. I mean the girls he's macking on are all <13, he gets worse when he realizes that the other chick was the "nameless" babe he bangs for a few centuries after his wife died, then he adds that 12yo girl to his future harem plans as well. It doesn't help that he's already indoctrinated her into wanting to be his cock sleave before he even wanted to sleep with her.

>>142374128
It's a highly overrated series to begin with, never understood /a/'s obsession with it.
>>142378502
Babby's first isekai reincarnation series. Kind of like how Haruhi was pretty overrated in retrospect.
>>142378555
It's also the only good reincarnation LN.
>>142375501
>I mean there's MT, ate the death god, monkey ojou, and coiling dragon
only LN/WN that really competes with MT is probably "I shall Seal the heavens"; coiling dragon gets better the further in you get, but the first half on the mortal plane sucks donkey balls.
>>142378381
>>142378433
I don't hate it and it was entertaining me when I read it but I'd be lying if I thought X character wasn't an idiot, douche, jackass, hypocrite, psychopath, or whatever else in most LN's that I've read

There's a damned good reason I filtered out pretty much everything written by a gook or chink.
>>142378686
konosuba is pretty good. not sure if i'd rate it over MT, seeing as how they're almost completely different genres.
>>142378702
we're never going to get pics of the kids at this rate.
>>142378754
Konosuba is transportation, not reincarnation.
>>142378686
Kumo for starters.
>>142378754
They're both reincarnation/isekai nonsense so you can.
>>142378381
Man this series grabbed me by vol 1 and I came out of it loving it and actually satisfied with the ending. There's pretty much nothing else I could ask of it.
>>142378555
It executes its story far better than most. There wasn't any part of it I really disliked. I'd happily re-read just about any part of the story.
>>142378749
>There's a damned good reason I filtered out pretty much everything written by a gook or chink.
"I shall seal the heavens" is unreasonably good in comparison to usual wuxia/xianxia stuff.
The author has a top tier sense of humor, and the MC (Ming Hao) is one of my favorites in any medium.
>>142378749
>pretty much everything
Out of curiosity, what haven't you filtered?
>>142377218
That's not his mom, that's one of his household's resident Yokai.
>>142378742
>>142378795
Not him but I haven't heard of these ones, or at least the names aren't ringing any bells. What are Kumo and Kenkya?
does anyone have rare tanukis?
>>142378781
Doesn't he still have a rotting corpse back on Earth though?
Is there some japanese site where you can browse by tags or something?
I was in the mood for something fantasy but holy shit there's so much reincarnation/dimensional travelling stuff I'm struggling to find anything "normal"
>>142378456
pastebin like I always had. Here's initial draft for the first two chapters, if anyone want roughs:
http://pastebin.com/YNNzUSa5

I'll put them on BT if I can find some proofers to edit the grammar a bit.
>>142378938
>>142378938
Kenkyo is a cute story about a girl who wakes up one day as the villain of her favorite otomege.
Kumo is a cute story about a girl who wakes up as a spider.
>>142379030
Oh the spider reincarnation one I've been seeing now and then. Been meaning to pick that one up.
>>142379030
>"here we go again"
>>142378987
Trying to find regular jap fantasy is pretty hard nowadays due to the flood of narou and syousetu stuff getting turned into LNs and published seeing as the majority of those are isekai or reincarnation things.
>>142378502
>If it’s taken as a given that people cheat their way to the top in society, then in order for a narou protagonist to succeed, he needs to be placed into a world where his own particular skills can be used as cheats.
>It’s no surprise, then, that the vast majority of isekai stories are based on JRPG-inspired worlds, particularly the pseudo-medieval settings of the Dragon Quest series and the early Final Fantasy games.
>It also explains why everything seems to fall into place for these narou protagonists as soon as they figure out the “trick” to succeeding – and why very few of them ever manage to achieve conventional success in their own worlds, even at the end of their stories.
>Umetsubame explained this cynicism is a result of the current social climate. Japan is past its economic bubble, there is no job security for young people, and in order to get hired you need to bury your individuality. Instead of pathologising narou fans, he points to society’s arbitrary standards of success as the underlying problem. You can work and work and work, but still be laid off your job. Narou stories function not only as escapist fiction, but also as an affirmation of this particular worldview.
>>142379133
They seem to be under the impression people can't self insert if the main character isn't from Japan and doesn't try to be at least somewhat genre savvy.
>>142379194
Try Nanasawa's stuff, closest to regular fantasy stuff I've read in a while, flame ring and girl that ate a deathgod are mostly civil war stuff with low magic elements so have fun with those.
>>142379133
>Konosuba animated
>Re:Zero animated
It's funny how quickly isekai shit became so proliferated until we have already managed to reach postmodern deconstruction isekai.
>>142374963

Read Reincarnator
>>142379133
Yeah there's so much stuff being churned out I'm honestly at a loss whenever I want to get into something new.
Sometimes I like the art, then read some preview introduction and cringe at how fanfiction level the writing is.
I'm bad at this stuff, where do japanese people get LN information from when they're looking to start some new series?
>>142377228
Probably just a one shot made for a magazine. It's written by Kamachi, but it's not on his page, so.
Art is by the Blood Sign artist.
Why does Aisha look exactly the same now as she did five years ago?
>>142377218
It didn't work so well as Usagi Drop and had to take several absurdly convoluted turns to reach that point, so it's fine.
>>142379402
I just dive in into things and see if it manages to repulse me. There's also a thing with a beastman mercenary and witch shimikaze that seems to be pure fantasy with no isekai or reincarnation stuff, seems pretty decent so far, thing is it's getting translated by Nanodesu so I'm going to be old and grey before it's done.
>>142379452
What's with all the fucking sparkles, did they kidnap a shojo manga artist to illustrate this?
>>142379526

What a time to be alive
>>142378686
Stuff with girl MCs (that arent gender bender) tend to be higher quality for some reason.
MT just has the advantage of being fully translated.
I personally like Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta. in addition to the other stuff mentioned for one example.
>>142378987
Just because it features a protagonist who came from our world doesn't mean it can't be regular fantasy. The dealbreaker is JRPG or MMO elements
>>142380112
More updates when.
>>142380153
Eh, a good writer can salvage anything, just look at stuff like Lazy King.
>>142374128
Well fuck me, I "finished" reading Deathgod the other day and thought it ended withher eating the other guyand I was so devastated with the ending being so open, thank god I checked this thread and noticed there was a Final chapter.
On another note, is anyone else reading Genjitsuhugisha? It's sooo good, you can tell the author actually did his homework in politics, it's a bit painful how the translations are so slow though.
Mr lyle is best boy.Only 4 ancestors left ;-;

>>142380254
The ancestors are pretty much the best part of the book, so having them go away all the time makes me not want to read further.
>>142378502
It was basically the first isekai to become popular on /a/ and it got very rapid translations. Stuff like that tends to generate popularity regardless of the quality. Remember when Terra Formars got basically speedscanned and /a/ wouldn't shut up about it for a few weeks before it petered off? Or when Tomo-chan showed up and continued going with daily threads?
Things that produce a lot of content quickly generate interest, that's just how it is. Now that more isekai works are being adapted and translated, MT's overall quality is easier to see in comparison.
MT also has some other positives; it has quite an interesting start if you're into worldbuilding, for example.
>>142380325
At least we have Mr lyle.
>>142379403
Speaking of Blood Sign I hope js06 gets back to that sometime, I read what was translated but didn't realize he didn't finish the first volume so now I have proverbial blue balls. I liked what was there despite the massive info dumping because of the White Queen and Kyousuke felt like how I imagined post-NT10 Touma to act with personal experience about why you don't stick your dick in crazy.
>Read the web novel
>It is written horribly, with no subtlety or tact whatsoever
>It's already a published LN and manga, with even the possibility of an anime
I'm now considering writing a WN of my own, just because I could write like total crap and still gain a militant following.
>>142380525
I ignored Blood Sign because I knew it wouldn't get translated during my lifetime, whoever now that you say that about sticking dick in crazy my interest piked. What happened after he stuck his dick in crazy?
>>142380243
There are two other series by the same author in the same universe. one seems to be new from what I recall while the other has a decent bit of chapters but not enough translations.
>>142380231
That's the current problem with all the good stuff. They're all either early in the translations or there's no way to stop yourself from binge reading and realizing you now have to wait for translations.
>>142378987
http://www.novelupdates.com/series/demon-girl-tale-of-a-lax-demon/
I know it has at least 4 volumes so far in Japanese so if you can read that then you're far better off than I am.
It's technically a reincarnation story but she can't remember most of her past (human) life outside of tiny snippets to begin with. I'm having a little difficulty describing what's actually good without spoilers. Just keep in mind that no matter how soft and fluffy she seems she is still a demon.
>>142380766
Yeah, I've been planning on reading the Fire Ring one this weekend, I'm not really that interested about the Hero one, but I'll check it out later because everyone keeps saying good things about it.
>>142380766
Yuru is pretty scary now that I think of it.
>>142380644
Not entirely sure yet, the translations haven't gotten through the first volume and it was still only showing small glimpses of the back story of his relationship with the White Queen. Whatever it was turned into a disaster since he's got some PTSD, and it had something to with why the summoning ceremony is so roundabout and complex.
>>142374128
read the novel rudeus is a good guy, it's a pretty long read too, dragon king orsted is a baller
>>142380525
I'll read Blood Sign when a elder god loli shows us.
>>142380614
I liked it, and statistically speaking I'm likely better than you so there is that
>>142381018
There was a side story in Death god featuring the hero that it sounds like you might have missed.
The tone while similar is slightly different but that's more due to it being different chapters than anything possibly due to there being so few of the hero chapters translated and it's being crossed over with death god. There's not much of a way to make a chapter anything but completely depressing for a character that runs into scheera before the prologue.
>>142380614
Unless you are a nip in nip land I doubt anything you write would ever upgrade to anything but some guy's shitty web fiction.
>>142380644
It has a bigger chance of being translated now that js06 is one SS away from being done with Zashiki Warashi. There's still some other Kamachi stuff untranslated though, I wonder what he's going to prioritize.
For real though, MT is the best
>>142378868
Er Gen tends to run his jokes into the ground and grind them into dust through repetition in ISSTH, though. I'd say ATTE is a bit better in the humor department so far.
>>142378381
I liked it until Rudeus married the three, since at that point the characters started flattening at supersonic speed.
>>142380112
I like Akuyaku, though I'm still waiting to see if the author realized that there's a damn good reason why people don't usually fucking use salt as pesticide.
>>142381719
It'll probably come up at some point, Akuyaku is pretty autistic when it comes to details. Wish I could find more LN illustrations of it besides the cover.
>>142380231
>Eh, a good writer can salvage anything, just look at stuff like Lazy King.
That's mostly because the reincarnation thing and MMO mechanics basically meant jack shit. You could replace most of the lingo with typical high fantasy equivalents and absolutely nothing would change.
>>142374128
The series went to shit after he started working with Orsted.
>>142381333
Which brings up the question: Why do western publishers and readers not understand the LN genre? Surely there are teens which would read this stuff in the west, if a western author wrote it.
>>142380325
Lyle has been gradually coming in his own with the passing of his ancestors. Looking at the sequel novel, he ends up being permanently in Mr Lyle mode.
>>142381889
Because the west already has Young Adult Fiction.
>>142381370
>I wonder what he's going to prioritize
Kawakami
>>142381925
Twilight doesn't count.
>>142381889
LNs are basically the Japanese version of YA fiction, just with more waifus. The West already has its own over-saturated genres (Hunger Games clones, Twilight clones, etc)
>>142374128
Any one know how well the Mushoku Tensei light novels are translated? I'm tempted to buy the paperbacks on amazon.
>>142381937
He mostly does that during the week right? I know he was updating Zashiki on the weekends, so he'll probably start doing BooBoo or Blood Sign now instead. I did manage to ask about Blood Sign while back and js06 said he just didn't care for the MC at first but he started to like him more by volume 2.
>>142381569
How good truly is ISSTH? I've only read Doulou Dalou and Coiling Dragon (which writing declined horribly after the first few arcs, finished it anyways). I've read the first couple of chapters and by the synopsis and comments it sounds like the author repeats the same formula over and over and over.
>>142381937
Well, yeah, of course. I was considering only Kamachi works, since js06 has been doing both his and Kawakami's novels at the same time for ages now.
>>142381890
He already is in a semi Mr Lyle mode all the time as of what has been translated
>>142382128
I'd recommend trying out AGT, I find the writing to be pretty good.
>>142382427
*ATG
>>142381054
So long as you say something as if it's an insignificant detail then people tend to not pickup on how terrifying, barbaric, or horrific it should be.
The first chapters are basically her devouring the souls of the damned but you don't notice it as easily because they taste like apples and strawberries.
>>142381650
It's amazing how fast one loses interest when characters actually get together. Then again, MT was already running on fumes by the time Rudeus was in the magic academy. I dropped it after Sensei was added to the harem after papa Greyrat was kill.
The childhood and Boyhood arcs were the height of it, in my opinion; there was a kind of charm to watching a boy with the mind of a 40 year old neet explore a fantasy world with a cute, feisty redhead that had one of the best tsun to dere transition I've read, along with a no nonsense uneducated demon guy with the most feared reputation.
It had a good slice of life feel and never dragged on too much without something happening.
Afterwards it just stagnated as more misfit side characters were added and redhead was gone along with the charm.
>>142382515
Yeah, she's pretty innocent, I should have gotten the hint considering just how fucking spooked people were when she got summoned and then went off to god knows where.

Alright, I'll check it out, the edgy cover kind of turned me off from reading it but it seems to have quite the following.
>>142380254
I ended dropping this a while ago. Mr Lyle was fun but the the build up is so damn slow and I didn't feel the payoff was worth it. Also the romance was pretty retarded.
>>142382804
The japs would've murdered the author if he tried to pull that off.
>>142382804
He would have been remembered but there is no way in hell he was on par with Laplace in strength or accomplishments
>>142382535
I felt the Asura arc was the height of the series and I found it a pity MC didn't bang Ariel, and the Beast Princesses, and the little sister maid.
>>142378502
Hypothesising upcoming chapters with /a/ while it was still being translated was the best part.
>>142382802
Yes, I suppose an MC that befriends his opponents to submission would fair better. Buzz off.
also >wish fullfillment
Why are you even commenting on wuxia
>>142382633
Better to be fooled by her than most LN characters. There are people that have fooled themselves into thinking Ainz and the -5 billion Karma influencing his behavior isn't evil as one of the more extreme examples. She's at least designed to hide it behind all the floof and is warped to be nicer than normal demons.
>>142382804
From a historical perspective he would just be noticed as one of the biggest criminals of all time. If we list his crimes he never tried to wipe out humanity or anything grand. Not saying it wouldn't be run to read as Dark Rudi was pretty fucking op before he died.
>Essentially destroyed several kingdoms

That could make a funny story.

I don't deny he is. He's still clearly been leaning/advancing closer towards more evil and less of himself since the start. There's a bit of difference between what you said and making several thousand word essays on 4chan about moral relativism to defend his glorious honour as he's totally a paragon of purity.
>>142378781
It's called reincarnation in-story even though it effectively functions as transportation.
It's fun.
>>142383596
I'd read it.

Not sure how people can call him a good guy after volume 7, or letting demon Mengele run around as if it's the most normal thing in the world or using the lizardmen as practice for his pet gelugon to train tactics on, the list goes on and on.
>>142379338
The funny thing is that there aren't even that many isekai anime, especially of the Narou boom variety, the anime industry just directly picked up the satirical ones to animate.
Hell most of Narou's most popular top 10 haven't been animated.
>>142378555
It's pretty much the only completely translated tensei series, not to mention it's a big one, the other would be Kumo Desu Ga, but it's unfinished and it came later. It's like TnY, it was huge on /a/ when it came out because it was fresh and the only recent, successful isekai around that time was Log Horizon and SAO.
Plus is actually good (unlike TnY), not amazing, but good enough to be worth a read.
>>142383712
Actually no, there are two choices in Konosuba; full on, mind wiping reincarnation and going to "heaven", MC and a bunch of others got limited time offer "transported into fantasy world".
>>142383072
>>142383339
I thought Dark Rudi had to murder Perugius to get the dragon magic he used for time travel
It was at this point that Meng Hao opened his eyes and looked out of his log cabin. Approaching slowly on foot was a somewhat emaciated looking middle-aged man. His body emanated the ancientness of time, and he was very thin. There was a ruthlessness to him, which presently seemed to have been replaced by complex emotions.
The ripples of a Nascent Soul cultivation base spread out from him, and when Meng Hao saw him, many different feelings filled him along with a sense of reminiscence.
As he walked up slowly, his appearance caused many of the surrounding disciples to be shocked.
“That’s…………………….
Who is it? I'm so terrible at remembering ISSTH characters even though I've faithfully followed it for more than a year now. I can't even remember Li Shiqi who apparently has appeared countless times.

>>142382804
What I found weird about old Rudy's story was the absolute lack of Orsted in it.
>>142382128
The only chinkz wn that matters.
>>142383951
No, he got the time travel magic from studying the dragon ruins. The reason he would have had to kill Perugius was the get the treasure to open the door to Hitogami. He didn't want to kill Perugius because he was the only one he could discuss the good old times with so he opted to try time travel instead
>>142378611
Honestly, Mushoku Tensei has the best world building and lore I've seen in a reincarnation series.
That's the thing alone that makes it better than the others for me. It was well defined and made me feel as if I was actually living there.
>>142384135
Blood demon patriach? His real identity is one of 3 greater demon mountain if I'm not wrong.
>>142384292
That's because despite all its faults and how much it did in popularizing many of the genre's worst cliches, it at least didn't indulge in the "game-like reality with status windows, levels, and skills" bullshit that's so common in other isekai stories.
>>142384181
Between Hitogami and Dark Rudy himself so many important people were dead Orsted probably just decided the time line was fucked and reincarnated
>>142384309
It should be some side character we haven't seen in a while. Some people over at Reddit thinks it might be Zhou Dekun (who I can barely even remember)
How on Earth do people keep track of side characters?

>How good truly is ISSTH? I've only read Doulou Dalou and Coiling Dragon (which writing declined horribly after the first few arcs, finished it anyways). I've read the first couple of chapters and by the synopsis and comments it sounds like the author repeats the same formula over and over and over.
I shall seal the heavens is fucking amazing.
It is a little slow to start (too much pill popping in the beginning, but he corrects that mistake pretty quickly). But no where near the 100 chapters that other /a/non talks about. It's written by a different author then the hacks who wrote Doulou Dalou and coiling dragon (actually coiling dragon does get better in the 2nd half but the author is definitely not good).
and Gen Er (the author of ISSTH) has a wicked sense of humor. He's also very patient with his jokes, and is willing to spend hundreds of pages building up to the punchlines of them.
Furthermore Ming Hao is perhaps one of the top 5 main characters in any novel i've read. Gen Er knows how to write a top class MC. He's so different from the MCs you usually see in xanxia or wuxia novels. It helps the translator team is actually pretty fucking good (better then the scrubs we get for the nip shit), sorta blows most WN/LN clean out of the water on every level.
>>142384458
But the Orsted in the current timeline doesn't recall bailing the fuck out of the previous timeline.
>>142374477
was there a need to make Eris so OP? All the way until the end I thought she was a goner, but she just kept getting stronger.
>>142384610
She had to replace cat tats
>>142384565
True, though I guess it might be that when bad end Rudy went back it reset the timeline for that, or something. Hitogami didn't seem to remember it either.
>>142384610
Do you not even power of love anon?
>>142384531
What's with people hating on Doulou Dalou? The story is pretty good and the characters all have their own goals. Is it because Tang is stupid OP?
>>142384531
>coiling dragon (actually coiling dragon does get better in the 2nd half but the author is definitely not good).
Eh. It was the novel that first got me into Xianxia but it's nothing more than mediocre. I Eat Tomatoes can't write interesting characters even if his cultivation base depended on it.
>tfw you've read some novels for so long that even though they are horrible you can't drop them
Why, ATG and MGAand to a lesser extent Stellar Transformation, why must you be so bad?
>>142384696
All the battle plays out like a video game and Tang isn't a very interesting MC.
I still read it from time to time though, but the translation is so slow.
>>142384565
I'd personally guess that Orsted was just trying to figure out what the bloody fuck was with this whacked out timeline before it was time to reset.
>>142382804
>I feel like from a historical perspective Dark Rudi would've been remembered on par with Laplace
no way in hell.
The dark version of rudy never made the top 7 powers list. people shit on non alt-history version of rudy, but you all forget he actually soloed the north god (and no, the north god was not "weakened"), something AT Rudy would never have managed.
The only reason real version rudy managed to win was because he finally stopped looking for a way out, and went into a battle 100% without an escape plan. The willingness to fight to the death with someone else was something that old rudy lacked.
He never even had that resolution when hitogami forced him into a battle with ordsted. As he had ejection seats and still was looking for a way to live even at the end of the battle.
>>142384531
>liking Meng Hao
The series does a really good job making him easy to relate to even though he basically turns into every other xianxia MC later on who is super aggressive and calculating. But thats kind of because everyone around him is a huge dick.
The story is fun as shit and gets better and better though. You can drop it around chapter 30 if you don't like it since thats pretty much as good as it gets as a series.
If you want something with more literary merit and world building, World of Cultivation is in a similar vein to ISSTH. I suggest anyone at all into xianxia get to chapter 10 at least because its one of those really deep stories that snowballs into itself and feels like a really good fantasy story.
>>142378749
>ISSTH
>bad
What'd you just say bitch?
>>142384696
they be hatin on his spiderman/batman grass powered swagger
Should've stayed with Eris, author was a fucking hack for pulling those stupid misunderstandings that ended up with Rudy getting ED.
Roxy was alright, but Sylphy was so fucking boring. Eris was truly the best wife and the one that should've won Rudy for herself alone.
>>142384859
>World of Cultivation
I've never heard of this novel before. Got any other you'd recommend? I've already checked out every single one on wuxiaworld
>>142384881
That your overwanked chinese shit smells.
>>142384466
He showed up during the battle with Patriarch Reliance at the end of first book (I think he was the one who tanked the turtle's attempt to step on Meng Hao), he then showed up again during the Song clan's groom search and again in the southern domain
I think we know what the better one is desu-wa.
>>142385116
Why is Satou not tapping this? Is he stupid?
>>142385047
I thought Zhou Dekun was the Violet Furnace Lord that Meng became bros with?
>>142384696
>What's with people hating on Doulou Dalou?
it's dull-> don't get me wrong there is some fun in the series, but it's rare and far apart. ATG started out good, but then it really lost it's way. Hard to find a better start to a bad series. Right around the time he comes back from the demon prison the series tanks so hard it makes me wish i hadn't touched it.
>>142385195
Satou prefers older women. He's waiting for everyone to grow up first apparently. Which is silly, because most of the ones that want to bone him are like 16ish.
>>142379884
Thanks for the heads up mate.
Time to support the official release.
>>142384859
>though he basically turns into every other xianxia MC later on who is super aggressive and calculating
not really. he just learns to kill problems before they get worse. What else is he supposed to do when there are so many comically evil villains in xanxia novels?
>>142381937
Speaking of which, was the last thread deleted?
>>142385420
Yes.
Next Kumo novel, July 9.
First Kumo manga tank, July 7.
>>142385196
yes, Zhou Dekun is the old fuddy duddy furnace lord best bro that meng hao meets. but the question was about the Blood demon patriach
The blood demon patriarch shows up a number of times in throughout the books. the difference between him and that 10th generation Wang clan bastard is he's never shown scheming in the background like some top level typical xanxia criminal. So I think people sorta forgot about him
>>142384918
Everything else by the author of World of Cultivation, Fang Xiang.
Have you tried Ze Tian Ji/Way of Choices? It's great if you're looking for an MC that isn't a pill popping murder hobo.
Actually, it's just great in general, unless you're looking for constant powerups. Also, he doesn't manage to cultivate until like 120 chapters in.
Can someone give me a tl;dr of the story after the pax shirone arc? I dropped it out of boredom
>>142383007
>implying gooky NEETs can actually achieve anything
>>142385116
aw yeah. Comfy read the WN.
>>142385116
I can't stand the MC in this.
Same reason why I also dropped MT.
>>142385713
There is nothing wrong with Satou or Rudi.
>>142385903
She's trying too hard to get into his pants.
>>142385903
Goddammit why are you forcing me to read it? I didn't want to pick it up but if you insist to much.
>>142382038
Could use an answer if anyone knows.
>>142385948
To be fair, she knows she has a lot of competition.
>>142385948
It has to work eventually. Slowly but surely.
>>142386114
Seven Seas only licensed the manga.
>>142385420
That looks pretty lewd, what is this?
>eventually it shall happen
You know I really want to read Flame Ring but this is just wow at this point.
>>142386387
I haven't read Flame Ring yet, what's wrong with the series?
Anyone reading this? His self loathing tendencies seems to get toned down and it's revealed that he had sex with the sage back in the days. No wonder he seems familiar with women
>>142386480
The translation speed.
What's the lewdest good LN?
>>142386512
I read it but I wish the translator finished Kuro no Maou first before trying to find other web novels to translate
>>142386370
Horizon.
Still no 9-B preview.
>>142386512
I do, it's fun so far, he's like a crotchety old man though.
>>142386566
Do you want it Rated 18 or not Rated 18?
Are there any other good LNs that follow the character from childhood to adult cause the one thing I really liked about Tensei is seeing Rudy grow
>tfw no Otherworld Dining Hall translations
>>142386603
Rated 18 if possible.
>>142386566
Asuka of the Scarlet Sky? Kinda.
>>142386612
There's that breastfeeding LN but author got forced to change the breastfeeding to just breast groping instead by the web novel site.
But if you want childhood to adult, there is Parallel World Pharmacy which I find more enjoyable to read than MT because even though MC is more hax than Tatsuya Shiba, MC is only concerned with making medicine and the antagonists in Parallel World Pharmacy is mainly Disease and Medical Quacks selling poison as medicine.
>>142386700
>Asuka of the Scarlet Sky
>>142386730
All is well in the LN.
>>142386700
Eh. Asuka of the scarlet sky has a tendency for people to get bored of the nonstop sex scenes really quickly and start skipping/skimming entire chapters to try and get to the parts with actual plot before ignoring another 30 chapters about MC's armpit hair fetish.
>>142386677
Most translators of Rated 18 Web Novels frequently quit or go on hiatus, though.
Only js06 remains consistent in translating and releasing Rated 18 stories.
>>142383596
Angel Densetsu?
...sort of

>Asuka of the Scarlet Sky
>First tag is Anal Intercourse.
>The rest of the tags
>>142386895
Yup, good times.
>>142386677
Inma no Hado but be warned, it is your typical evil demon rape story which you typically find in doujins that feature male demons or incubus but it did get a VN adaption.
I just suggest it based on the fact it has an active translator since most Rated 18 novel translators quit before translating the whole story.
>>142381650
I'm surprised he goes for the harem even after his dad's infidelity nearly ruined his family.
>>142386832
Really? I do exactly the opposite.
>>142386730
>>142386817
What is the name of that LN?
>>142386612
I've got none but this LN centres around the MC raising a qt little demon girl. The translations haven't go that far though. The title is : Uchi no Musume no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai.
>>142387526
Communication Disorder.
That manga with the super long Anna title was a pretty good reincarnation/time slip. The guy was a total asshole and at first it was good but he went completely off the deep end and then there was multiple parallel time travel shit.
Also the Rapemancer manga where the bus crash victims and MC get reincarnated into a fantasy world is good for the lewd.
I enjoyed The Girl who Ate a Death God way more than MT, though.
>>142387469
I'm only at the part after he meets his dad again after the teleporting stuff, but that cheating thing with the dad was kinda messed up. First his dad rapes the maid then hires the same maid, then Rudy convinces Zenith to accept the maid as part of the family.
>>142387897
Probably because it had a story it wanted to tell and told it without taking a million years to do so.
>>142387473
The meido blowjobs are still great and all but everything else degenerates into 'ok, I've read this same scene 15 times in a row already.'
>>142387469
Rudy has always been an idiot.It took being kicked out of his home after being caught jacking off to his niece during his parent's funeral and dying for him to figure out he should try to better himself. It's up for debate how much he actually improved as a person.
At least his mom beat the shit out of him for expanding the harem yet again that one time.
>>142387897
>>142387957
Probably because the story was more well-written.
>>142380300
Meng Hao falls into the same Gary Stu bullshit that other lightnovels have. He is always the most perfect person for whatever challenge or task is there. Fuck he would probably surpass perfection and reach Oni Sama level if that were even possible.
DEUS LO VULT, /a/!
Before I get invested into this, is the romance for this any good? Particularly Roxy.
Or is it just he wins them over easily and early and after a needlessly long delay they get together for real?

The romance is shit.1. Father forces them apart.
2. Leaves him for her own training.
3. Bullshit forces them apart.
1. They meet after a long time and get married after some bullshit.
2. They meet after a long time and she gets into the family after some bullshit.
3. Gets the worst treatment and gets into the family just to have her character completely ruined.
>>142388484
Each relationship has its own arc and ultimate consummation. None of them felt arbitrary.
