Kingdom-Building Isekai

I liked this one and I never felt like it tried to do anything pretentious despite the synopsis sounding exactly like pretentious chinkshit. Empire building doesn't actually start until after 100 chapters though, but it's not like the smaller-scale story in the beginning isn't satisfying to read through.
novelupdates.com/series/tales-of-the-reincarnated-lord/

Wasn't that one discontinued by the author though?

honestly it's the same reason I hated Youjo Senki but once I looked past the high school philosophy shit, the power wank of an imperial loli is great.

Was this the one with the spoiled princess or the overly friendly one?

Lion guy wants MC to kill him so he becomes a respect(and feared) king.
Lion guy had the role of stoping any possibe rebelion when the first and the nice king were in charge, but he's getting old and can't keep that role.

MC might have to chop Lion's head to show it to everyone as a way to instigate fear in the herrt of the people(and especially the nobles) who might want to cause a rebellion.

Slight update.

yeah, but it was at least stopped after a resolution to a long arc. The author is still active and has a new book with 100 chapters in that has similar pacing. I'm not sure what happened exactly with TotR, probably China censorship issues

it's embarrassing that the best kingdom building isekai I can find is made by a chink. not the pic related manga, stick to the novel

>still worried I'll make my MC pull some "I read about this before in..." bullshit when they begin empire building
I feel like I have to be real careful with this if I want to make it feel realistic.

>witches ex machina
>O MY DREAMWORLD
Yeah, how about no?

What if you give him an smartphone, but it's not magical, just a smartphone that can, dunno connect to the internet or already have some shit downloaded?

While at it, make a new row with Camille the Magic Otaku, Altrea the Puppermaster, Rosemary the Headstrong and IIya the Damned.

Have him reincarnate as a son of a noble who dies too early and he has to start ruling as a child. That plotline is very realistic and has happened countless times throughout history. Have him have some knowledge, but still fail where others failed. DONT MAKE A FUCKING TENSEI. Here's why: strawpoll.me/17538757

ok I don't mean to fanboy but TotR is much more readable than that crap. TotR has a shit ton of infodumps/worldbuilding as well, but it manages to stay readable unlike the MC in RtW that apparently has engineering textbooks in his head.

There is nothing wrong with the MC referencing a certain work.
A lot of leaders based their own actions on the writings or historic records of previous powerful men.
The real problem is when the MC references something and it's clear the author only read the book's summary or its most famous quotes.

you should look what an ex machina actually is before you embarrass yourself in public.

The best way is to have him refer to in-universe books/quotes with similar themes and quotes to the real works you want to reference. Most people won't know who you're referencing unless you make it really obvious.

Also helps with world building.

How will the MC get in a position where he is city/kingdom building?

Instead of quoting, why don't you trace the thought and have him conclude the same thing? It's better to express the essence of a thought than it is to refer to an author that your readers haven't read.

They always rely on a single thing: the isekai inhabitant being braindead to uncanny levels to allow the MC to shine thanks to his high school knowledge of kingdom management.

Typically in OP's manga, the kingdom is starving because farmers produce cash crops instead of food crops, and the rulers don't do anything to adress the problem. Worse, the princess isn't even aware of that. Or the kingdom has gigantic troubles moving goods because of a shit infrastructure, yet they have a completely unused mage workforce that can terraform the whole fucking country. Or like this one where the "half-beast dukedoms" rebels against the only kingdom on the continent that isn't racist against beastfolk so that the new king would wipe them and appear as strong.
I wanted to like this one, really, but the retardation is going way to far to allow my suspension of disbelief to work.

is pretty decent in that respect actually. The only detailed scientific Earth knowledge he used was how to make concrete IIRC.

Everything else is either very general knowledge or history related facts which can be explained by the fact that he's a history major.

My only complaint about there his wives will never allow an oyakodon.

Have him reference this video youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs

Sounds like you're trying to jerk off rather than tell a story. Just drop it and rethink everything.

I don't even have issue with research being wikipedia level, some level of simplification is required for a fiction novel. but bothers me is when there's zero thought put into the consequences of that knowledge and technology is treated as isolated bonuses to the kingdom. like when Realist spent a few chapters on freeing slaves and then it was never mentioned again.

Not all. Try Qualia The Purple.

What does Yea Forums think of Western Isekai?

Pic related was surprisingly enjoyable, especially with how the author ported normie Earth's history into the magic Earth's in a fairly believable manner.

It really depends on the MC's education level. If all this political shenanigans is within his field of education then it's only natural to have him reference and pull ideas on what he's learned. Usually where the "I read about this in a book.." idea goes wrong is when you have an uneducated person read a book and magically become a learned scholar. On the other hand, even if your MC is not exactly an expert with politics, most people have some sort of understanding towards basic fundamental ideas. An MC like this may know where he's going or what the end goal looks like, but not necessarily how to get there.

He is so smart though he cured starvation by making people eat food they didnt know was food!
who knew starving people were so picky

Best Spiderpeople.

>apparently has engineering textbooks in his head.
I mean, if your novel's main draw is applying modern tech to a magical world your protagonist is eventually going to hit some kind of realistic limit. whether it's magic or the MC is impossibly smart, the end result is the same. I don't know why people get hung up on that kind of thing.

just the prose alone would be fucking fresh after reading translated web novels. Only problem is that there's rarely western novels that are wanky enough to satisfy most people here.

starts out shaky. shits the bed volume 3 onward with idols and other pop culture shit.

>Tfw he had the slut sing the best gundam opening
Hold me Yea Forums the nostalgia is strong

It's possible. There was an nutritionist who went on a medical mission trip to some shithole in Africa to help fight, of course, malnutrition. There, she(?) noticed that for some reason, it was the poorest of the poor kids/families who were somehow getting along fairly ok compared to the poor-to-lower-middle-class (which means well below poverty by any reasonable standard in an industrialized nation).

Turns out the poorest people were supplementing their diets with yam(? some sort of tuber, I believe, been years since I read this article) greens that the other, vaguely richer people were too snobby to eat because it was pretty unappetizing and for animal feed and of course the people poorer than even they were.

Turns out those greens were fully available to fix some malnutrition but they were too up their own asses to bother eating any of said greens even though they were already starving maybe every two days.

read the book that was based on, good shit.

They're okay.

Aussie Jewess hits so many good notes with me i often wish i got isekai'ed to the word wuto made, then i remember i would end up as a dirty NoM and die in a hell hole.

it's a balance, you might as well have a teleport ability to modern earth and back. At least some novels try to make it interesting and have the MC fail when they realize they can't just make machine guns because they need the machinery to make the machinery to make the machinery to make it. Or they can't even get the gunpowder ratio right so they just do simpler stuff like double-entry bookkeeping or semaphore telegraph towers, and end up stumbling into kingdom building out of pure luck and stubborness.

Cheats are just lazy. It's satisfying at first but gets stale quickly.

Finally someone with a bit of sense.

I like how it actually has some originality and logic applied to it (despite the art being sort of generic people are designed to the point of bordering bad, if not for how regular and polished it is in most every other way).

The MC isn't re-inventing the fucking steam engine from dirt in two weeks, he's making fucking simple winnowing machines and mills out of wood. As well the setting takes elements from the Classical world, but the clothing, the politics, the societal structure, etc. all have unique elements rather than being copypasted famous ancient cultures.

It deserves better than it's getting in terms of popularity. It's like Slime Tensei empire building without steamrolling everything forever with next to no effort.

>you might as well have a teleport ability to modern earth and back.
That does already exist though.

>RtW MC being good at his previous life's profession is more unbelievable than Chinese cultivation BUT IN A WESTERN FANTASY SETTINGGG AND STRONGER THAN THE NATIVE CULTIVATION
I read TotR as a guilty pleasure, but it drops into the Chinese bog of MC killing anyone who doesn't agree with him and fucking anything with a vagina after he starts the journey back to reclaim his homeland. The original academy setting was actually more interesting. The main draw of RtW is technology BTFO-ing medieval shits anyway.

>is pretty decent in that respect actually.
>the whole fucking country is starving but the farmers only produce cash crops
>the princess of the kingdom isn't even fucking aware they're not producing food crops but cash crops
that's nowhere near as decent

PSA: Dont read the Road to a Kingdom series, after more than 500 chapters we find out Lucy died off screen

That this shit could have been a lot better than it was. It was purely tween powerwank that I loved at the time that ended horribly and was really unnecessarily morbid at times.

>MC fail when they realize they can't just make machine guns because they need the machinery to make the machinery to make the machinery to make it.
think RtW deals with that reasonably with magic being a stop gap solution that doesn't scale while the protagonist spends his efforts building infrastructure that can replace it.
and again I don't care where he gets the knowledge from, that's not why I'm reading this stuff. that's like complaining Sherlock is too smart to be realistic.

>after more than 500 chapters we find out Lucy died off screen
Wow, what a dick move.

>Lucy died off screen
What the actual fuck, author.

I didn't read a lot of them. I liked Flowers War from Tad Williams, and the Empire trilogy by Feist (the only decent stuff Feist wrote ever, and that's only because it's a coop with Jannie Wurst).

No, it's fucking retarded. The ease with which the MC was able to violate feudal privileges without any consequences indicates that the author has no idea what he's talking about.

Almost 600 chapters, it's worth it.

It is. China had new censorship issues but author didn't wanna censor his chapters, so he just said fuck it and started a new series.

My biggest roadblock to world building is not being able to have a map with realistic plate tectonics and climate patterns. I'm just gonna use topographic maps of real celestial bodies in the future.

I've read it and its garbage. But that's only to be expected.

the art style is not just generic, it's a horrendous mismatch with the story. No one is going to take it seriously if it looks like a romcom.

Also kinda ruined at the start when the Griffin's existence basically means they're playing on tutorial difficulty for a long time. First potential conflict comes when they're relatively stabilized and capable of biting back. The tribute ends up being cowardice rather than out of necessity even if it is to buy time.
Is it too much to ask for the MC to just stumble upon the orphans and write a story without papa griffin taking any sense of danger/urgency out of everything?

You know, I wonder if someone's ever done an isekai where, like, Napoleon or Nobunaga goes to one of these worlds using their own knowledge of politics and military tactics and such. Maybe Ride-On King's like that but I haven't read it yet.

I've kind of wanted to do one that involved Caracalla getting isekai'd but he's such a bastard to everyone that the humans and demons (or whatever) have to unite to try and stop him. I mean he was called The Common Enemy of Mankind after all.

The author has another series about not!Byzantium ruled by elves. I guess he's really into Rome.

Well, people in Europe were extremely reluctant to eat potatos at first. But of course, they overcame it as the various kingdoms were not as stupid as isekai kingdom and had actual "nutritionists" or "botanists" and other various scientists studying the problem and going around ind the kingdoms to actually educate the peasantry and local nobility.

Drifters, dude.

>but it drops into the Chinese bog of MC killing anyone who doesn't agree with him and fucking anything with a vagina after he starts the journey back to reclaim his homeland.
No it doesn't. Augustus is literally the most annoying and traitorous paranoid piece of shit and yet Lorist put up with him for over 500 chapters. You are just making shit up at this point.

>The original academy setting was actually more interesting.
i agree. Once the kingdom building went in too deep, there was no way for the plot to go back trying to decipher the whole premise of the downfall of the more-advanced civilization in its past. Black Iron Glory looks like it's planning itself much better for the long run, and it might as well be TotR remade and renamed considering it has a similar premise of an advanced civilization in the past.

Yeah dude goes back to her house in the forest knocks a no one answers, celia tells him that there is a fresh looking grave in the back so he breaks into the house and is full of dust like no one has lived there in years and when he goes to the grave Lucy's rotten corpse is in there.

what the fuck spoiler that shit

He started a new story about Mao Zedong getting hit by a truck and transported to another world, where he must hunt down Tienanmen Square protesters who were also transported to the fantasy world, where they're helping the demon king destroy the world.

Fuck all the people that liked the degeneracy and debauchery that was going on in the series?

I mean he had that 10 year old queen suck his dick

I was specifically talking about how Souma doesn't have that many modern science knowledge hacks. Not sure what that has to do with the MC's policies.

He gets NTR'd too and he just forgives and moves on, TWICE

I really feel that the story wasn't edited very well from when it started, and the author got a better idea of what he was aiming for as time went on and he wrote himself a bigger world to play in.
I assume it started as a webnovel, but unlike Overlord's radical re-write from WN to LN, the editor just left the rocky (and fucking stupid) beginning arcs without further polish.

by not having barbarian girls kidnap and rape the weakened MC this time. Or not having orgies with his harem every now and then as an intermission chapter.

Lorist was *relatively* tame for a chinkshit MC but it didn't mean he wasn't prone to the same hedonistic and murderhobo ways.

Thermae Romae is my favourite reverse isekai. You could technically say it's kingdom-building/improvement since Lucius imports Japanese technology back to ROMA.

>He gets NTR'd too and he just forgives and moves on
I mean, that's a pretty normal thing for a rational human being to do. He could have killed some people along the way but he just as well could leave people alone and move on with his life.

moves on with the relationship I mean, he marries her after he forgives her NTR him.

just move on and drop that shit

>HAHAHAHA I WOULD TOTALLY HAVE FULL AND DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF EVERYTHING, SCHOOL LEVEL STUFF BRUH

Thermae Romae would be a nice story if the author didn't write her self-insert into the story. What the fuck was up with the last chapters??

The ending doesn't have much satisfactory epilogue though. Between the MC and his ROMAboo wife, they really changed history a fucking lot, but honestly they go back to Rome just before a period of fairly shitty times in the Empire's history where they're both fairly liable to die, or their kids are going to have an awful time anyways.
The timeline didn't change at all despite the fairly advanced knowledge and theories both of them could have applied unless his waifu decides to abandon all non-Roman History knowledge and live like a foreign wife to an upper middle-class Roman dude who is gone most of the time building shit for demanding nobles.

It's already set in stone that the MC is transported to the other place, not reincarnated. Basically, the MC finds out that their father and grandfather were transported to the other dimension, spent a few years there, and came back. All of the bedtime stories they would tell to the MC were stories of what they experienced there. They also find out that their father and grandfather were subtly training them, mentally and physically, to be ready for transportation. The MC has to hope that they remember enough to actually survive. Another problem is that the world their parents were transported to was centuries into the future, so those stories aren't completely useful.

They arrive in the middle of a battle in a beam of light and kill a strong warrior. The warriors regard the MC as a holy being, take him back to their village, and begin to follow him into battle. The MC is eventually cast out by the village leaders, along with his followers, and the MC begins to gain power, Genghis Khan style. I'm still trying to figure out how the MC deals with the trauma of killing a person though.

>The Dictator's Handbook
I'll put it on my reading list, thank you.

I was thinking someone with a masters in something like geology. One of the plot points is finding and using bog iron to make stronger weapons. I want to study up more on geography and geology though. They'll know a bit of politics since they were encouraged to read about it, but they definitely won't be a walking encyclopedia. If anything, my research is to better simulate how other people react to the MC.

Ah. My assumption was that you were referring to 'stuff the author got from Wikipedia' in general, as the poster you were responded to was, rather than modern science specifically.

Is it true that the main reason RtW's author hasn't made it into a harem is because of his wife? Because I paused around 800 chapters in and author really needed to throw this poor loser a bone.

It may as well be true regardless. Nightingale's love is just plain pathetic and sad at this point. It'd be kinder to give her a death flag instead of stringing her honest love along forever.

His new novel doesn't have sex scenes, only passing mentions of them.

Perhaps there might have been some good possible changes for the early arcs, but still, your idea isn't much better because either the MC would need to be an absolute Gary Stu who somehow builds a society out of nothing without the temporary cheat skills (aside from the permanent King-blessing maybe) with nothing but a bunch of brats as manpower and wouldn't have a good reason to build a village in a forest in the middle of nowhere in the first place, or it would change genre to some sort of hardcore survival story instead of Kingdom Building. That'd be actually worse than what we got.

I'm all for MC that can kill their enemies without remorse, but the utter disregard that mainland Chinese have for human life is frankly quite disturbing.

yes the wife meme is true.

I don't remember that.
Hajin is immune but that's because he got teleported there.
Suho and Sahyuk were reincarnated,

First off I was joking. Secondly all I remember is that you are inducing an electric charge to the gas, and then sending the gas along the field produced by an electromagnet, a really big electromagnet.

I stopped reading RtW because of this. Either shit or get off the pot, author.

Haven't you seen those videos where a chink runs over someone with his car and then gets down and murders the poor fucker in cold blood?

Is there a good isekai where MC is not quite human and has to use his wits to survive while hiding from the world while he comes up with a plan? Gathering information in a realistic way.

>the utter disregard that mainland Chinese have for human life
Nigga, they stuff live turtles and small fish into keychains barely big enough for the animal's whole body, much less move around, for amusements for someone to have that they toss into the trash once the animal's dead (these are sold mostly as kitchy local festival gewgaws that only last for a night).
99% of people worth a damn as nice person in China died somewhere between the age of colonialism and the rise of today's PRC. Only the most venal and horrendous of people remain, save for some who somehow grow up mostly altruistic.

Yeah, they're the reason why I'll never go to that shithole. I'm glad my great-grandfather fucked off out of there back when the Qing dynasty was crumbling.

ok i am offended by that. I think a hardcore survival story would be pretty interesting. Smaller scale certainly, and they'd probably just be a small-time syndicate at most in a city after a 100 chapters if half of the orphans hadn't already been starved or beaten to death. It's not like kingdom building will ever be out of the picture just because you don't start with it.

I'll keep those in mind. I did read a bit of the latter, but I never actually finished it. I wrote a small thing on the effects of geography with regards to technological advancements, but I always had to be careful with falling into the trap of environmental determinism. I didn't like Diamond's book that much, but I'll give it another shot.

I would greatly appreciate that.

I don't think that my MC will ever reach the "killing without remorse" level, and honestly I don't want them to.

What exactly are you after?

Try an actual webcomic first, like using Hiveworks or whoever'll give you a website that will host it. If it works out well, then try moving to an actual manga aggregator that will accept non-Asian works.
I don't recommend Mangadex in general though; that's a place better for Asian works. Your stuff would get lost in all the stuff that gets updated regularly and die in obscurity.

I like this slime one, and I think its the best isekai yet.

can i say maoism was worse than genocide?

That is uniquely the PRC's fault. As a ruthless one-party regime, they could literally write laws to generously punish crime and societal faults, but they do jack shit if it doesn't enrich someone's pockets.
Ironically, if they had a for-profit prison system for some Communist Party princeling to profit from, they'd probably enforce more laws that punish people for harming others instead of going back to finish the job (i.e. it's right now less punishment to purposely finish someone off in a hit-and-run than to just drive away and have a potential survivor to be legally beholden to provide restitution for).

The Opium wars and European colonialism grab favored everybody that was a sell-out that was willing to sell drugs and brutally put down anybody who was getting in the way of business, ON TOP of the ass-backwards infighting that kept China believing it was the center of the earth and stagnating technology and progress.

Honestly there's one I'm working on that's no real battling or kingdom building or anything, just like a travelogue or travel blog kind of deal as part of the story of a guy going around and just kind of describing the places he sees and their culture, histories and storie of people who live there. It's starting off in a Not-Balkans area but goddamn am I having a hard time making something I feel is convincing and trying to making up not-Slavic names without just importing shit over wholesale just leaves me stumped.

>trap of environmental determinism
I haven't read much on the topic past Diamond's book, but I don't see how it's a trap. I get people shit on it because it's reminiscent of antiquated and racist ideas but just saying 'resources influence culture' seems reasonable enough. but the book is long winded and there are other reasons to not like it. seems like every attempt to make a condensed book on human anthropology stirs up a lot of controversy.

So manga? Bertia, Katarina, Felicia, Cordelia and Violette.

Why do people post these pictures of a cat, a dog, and a hug pillow in every fucking isekai thread?

I read something about the person who recently translated the side-stories from LN vol. 8.5 and 13.5 of Slime to possibly start a fanTL of the LNs.
To be fair though, JewPress releases a new volume once every April, August and December, i.e. 3 volumes per year (they released the first one in December 2017). That's actually not too bad for JewPress standards.

I didn't really plan to make the protag being powerless a selling point or anything. I just couldn't think of a way to justify him being able to hang with experienced hunters and war veterans in this world. I finally have a lore friendly way to give him a power boost, but I don't know if that would piss of readers and have them call it a bullshit asspull power up that turns the protag from realistic underdog to full blown mary sue.

Eh, no. How exactly are Bakarina, Eliza and Iris "identical"?

Name one Isekai novel that doesn't have a Jap trope besides being isekaid

*claps*

What about the western ones? Either the historical or new ones.

What about the male counterparts? Are there LNs where the main guy gets isekaied into the villain of a bishoujo game?

The Lazy King?

There really aren't many 'isekai'd into an eroge/moege' series. The only one that comes to mind is Katahane no Riku, and that's a FeMC.

So here's a somewhat novel question

How do i write a parade to demonstrate the might of MCs and his classmates? i already have the speech down but the actual marching, music and movement? of the whole thing eludes me, it's also where the MC introduces his magi tech power armors and Mechs to the world and i really don't want it to fuck it cause its like the thing that made me write this homebrew.

Piggy Duke's world is based on a manga, right?

Read historical accounts of Roman (or even Napoleon's) triumphs.

Geography definitely has an effect on technological advancement and the formation of civilizations. That's 100% true. What I mean by "trap" is that it's so easy to get wrapped up into it that you start believing that civilizations are absolutely dependent on the surrounding environment when it's more like good environment=good chance of success. That's how I see it, anyway. My apologize for being vague.

I can think of Eroge Reincarnation ～Please Don’t Collect Onee-chan’s CGs～ and Escape Galge, but those are FeMC too.

Oh and also, "My Death Flags Show No Signs of Ending"

Neither of these are technically bishoujo games but they follow the same trend of the hero being reincarnated into a villain and needed to do various things to avoid being killed by the heroes in the original story. Dungeon Defense also somewhat has that story element.

>in every fucking isekai thread?
Ritualposting because that's culture of generals together with avatarfagging. Yes, this is a general.

>expected comfy story about a hikkikomori demon king

What are the demographic for all these villainess isekai? The concept sounds like it cater toward females, but most of these artworks look shounen/seinen-ish.

it's amazing we don't have avatarfags, shieldhero doesn't count cause he fights the good fight.

I supposed it's not too bad.
But still, it'd take like three years for them to catch up to vol 13 and by then who knows what volume Fuse will be able to put out.

the beauty of the villainess isekai is that it can appeal to two completely different demographics

First, it has a lot of handsome men hitting on the MC so that women can self insert
Second, it has a cute naive/brave waifu trying her best for the male readers

Female or both gender I'd say. Something like Bakarina appeals to both, but there are also obviously shoujo-ish stuff like kurukurutl.wordpress.com/2017/12/31/akirameyou-illustration/

Reminder that being racist is ok on Yea Forums

He even brings it up by mentioning that chink saying about paying more than you should or getting fucked.
If the guy bought cheap shit knowing its cheap shit and got fucked for it, then it's obviously his fault, but what happened to him was that he asked for a very particular good, was promised he would be given that particular good, paid for that particular good and then was given a different but similar good of inferior quality.

pretty much. he's going into a market with lax regulation and almost zero legal options if things go south. may as well be trying to buy a ton of cocaine off the street and get surprised when things don't go smoothly.

It's his fault for believing anyone who lives in a country where it's normal to ignore a child's corpse on the street.

What tool is that?

I thought Werewolf Isekai was a fairly decent and straightforward kingdom builder isekai. It does lean a bit heavily on the "MC is the only demon who can bridge the cultural gap with humans" idea, but it doesn't take itself too seriously or get too extreme with what problems the MC can really solve by being an army general.

isn't that more because there aren't as many examples of successful societies coming out of poor conditions to draw creatively from? even the Black Panther movie could only conceive of a super advanced African civilization because they were sitting on a gold mine.

I think like most webnovels that are liscensed before being finished, they don't have a proper ending in mind, so they end up shitty.

It's best to expect no isekai to actually have a satisfying ending.

I won't pretend I've read "a lot" of isekai series (especially those that are lucky enough to be translated enough to actually get to the ending), but Mushoku Tensei is the only one so far I've ever seen that has a conclusion/ending that's actually written well, or at least doesn't seem stupid and rushed.
It leaves a lot of loose ends, but that's for side stories and the continuation series it was supposed to lead into to take care of.

Now I can understand that it's not really a great novel and all, but why the heck would anyone just pick a novel smack dab in the middle? Especially if no one is planning to translate the prequel or sequel.

Also how many other isekai novels out there use D&D as much as Night Ranger? I'm guessing only chink novels can do it since they don't fear copyright issues.

I dropped that shit after the retarded MC allowed his entire party to get by using shitty weapons.
And I know the premise is that the MC is dumb but it honestly doesn't feel like he is actually dumb most of the time and the times when he does feel more like the author himself being a retard than deliberate stupidity.

It continues though (at least in LN form). I've been waiting for more to be translated.

It doesn't stay as good (or as original) as it was in the first arc before Will leaves the temple, but it's still pretty good. The dragon/mountain arc is hype as fuck even if it's nearly a carbon copy of the Hobbit obviously run as a DnD campaign.

The sad part is that they're technically not wrong. EVERYBODY ELSE in the entire country is already cheating, and artificially driving up the scores of the competition. Not allowing them to cheat and go on their own abilities/knowledge puts them statistically behind the score curve. The situation is fascinating and pathetic at the same time.

Oh baby.

What I mean is that at first the MC had powerful weapons to help him survive in the isekai, while also had serious flaws and limitations that made him vulnerable, especially as he lacked magic in a world driven by it. Then he just finds a way to get unlimited gold and ammo, an auto-regen and a fucking item box in a few chapters, basically rendering all his flaws non-existent and making him a steam machine rolling on everything.

The sad part is that it's implied that cheating is so rampant these citizens have zero faith in their country's institutions to maintain fair play in the first place.

Thank you user.

If the manga/LN has the same ending as the WN is better if you just drop it.

Yeah, RtW went the bizarre xianxia route for some reason. It feels like the author wanted to write another story but couldn't for some reasons so he decided to work it into RtW. Experimental Logs of the Crazy Lich is still the best Chink WN for me.

After the contest for the throne falls when Roland takes the capital city and it becomes some sort of thousand-year post-apocalyptic mystery prophecy scenario is when RtW stops being enjoyable and readable compared to when it started. It was already showing signs of being increasingly retarded by then but at least there was an endpoint in sight, rather than endless filler and increasingly bullshit enemies and contrived situations.

I dropped somewhere after that, did the same as you for about ten chapters after that first drop, then dropped it completely to now. It's a shame it's so dumb when it had so much starting premise.

i dropped this the moment he starts telling a sob story during the date with the chick right after they were just talking about taking it chill or something.

>tl;dr: While most LN/WN have good story ideas they are written like shit

This book seems like it was written to piss me off. This author is one of the most tell not show writers I have ever seen. It just pages on pages of talking heads going on and on. This isn't helped by the fact that the writer has no voice, so every character sounds the same. Also when did it become ok to shift from 1st person limited to 3rd person limited in the same chapter. I will be reading as the MC in 1st person, then there is a break and now I am in 3rd person, not even going to get started on how there are like 3 or 4 pov shifts in a chapter that are mostly needless. Another thing I would like to know if this book is a retelling of past events or are we following the MC as he experiences events? I only ask because the MC looks like he is in the present but then the narrator likes to chime in on how the MC action will affect the future. Which only begs to ask why is there a narrator if most of the book is written in the 1st person.

This feel like someone tried to transcribe a manga into a book, which I admit is a common pitfall for new writers. They watch a lot of film and TV so they write a book that mimics that style. Talking heads going on and on in a manga can work since there are pictures to show action while the people are talking, but when you have that in a book it doesn't work. I once hated on LN cause I thought their plots were bad, however I have come around and can enjoy them for the self indulgent ride they are. However the fact of the matter is that Realist whatever it is called, is written like shit. I know that LN/WN author aren't pros but come on. I write for fun and I was able to see all these mistakes.

I swear it seems like the only LN I have read where it seem the writer knew even the basics of writing was Spice and Wolf. If anyone know of other LNs that show the author has basic competence on how to write a story.

>End up having a ton of Togashi type fans that think I'm 10,000 IQ

You should be aiming at the 6th-8th grade level to get the most money.

I kept going with it, mainly because I only really cared about the kingdom building/technological revolution. My favorite parts of the story were always when the pov shifted to the commoners.

big parts of it are still 3rd world in the countryside

Goddammit, Mahaya.

The problem is that they're so very, very socially trained to accept bribery and cheating as the actual way you do things.

This even goes back to their ancient history where they're supposed to give offerings of money and sweets to minor Taoist/Confucian gods BECAUSE they can buy their way out of hell and/or bad luck/karma.

I was part of a healthcare ethics class and it had a horrifying portion dedicated to how shitty China's otherwise modern healthcare system is in how it's EXPECTED that even if the doctor is well-meaning and honest even in normal (i.e. NOT a selfish, venal mercenary that would make Warham Skaven blush but a well-adjusted human being that would help others more or less than anybody else in the industrialized world) sense, people give (read: force) tacit gifts and bribes to doctors in hopes they'll give special attention to their families.

It also creates an awkward give and take where the doctor's can't practice proper medicine without showing that they're doing their part for the gifts, and if the patient does badly just because of being sick, they get blamed for it and are then in trouble for being ratted-out for taking bribes/gifts/

She's only a damsel in distress according to others, she herself doesn't see the situation that way at all, and is following her beliefs to the letter.

That one was shit because the author had to make everyone in that world a drooling retard in order to make the MC look relatively smart. Which is really common in isekai in general.

MC sacrifices himself , dies and then finds himself revived in the same world but this time he has his original jap body not the game avatar and he has the abilities of a newly created character in that VMB game

It doesn't technically matter how that money is concentrated into the hands of a few, very corrupt people; they're a gigantic player in world politics because they're facilitating a large part of how the global economy keeps everybody employed. Keeping PRC China afloat keeps the rest of the world from degrading into a giant planet-wide recession at this point.

It makes her principled stand less believable when she and her father just sit there in silence the whole time whilst everyone else shows up and grandstands.

All is forgiven after doing the illustrations for the pure fun that was Zashiki Warashi.

That's why I kept reading at all (they were also my favorite, especially that mini-arc with the random dude who rises from peasant to a fairly-well educated, for the time period, soldier officer), but Roland and his witch not-a-harem made me so annoyed that I just couldn't take it anymore.

It's actually fantasy literature in its own right. Yes, it's mostly juvenile/crude and too horny for its own good, but it's actually a story that could otherwise stand up on its own feet unless the translations get shitty (and boy howdy do they get shit, at least when I was reading it).

it gets back on track when the kingdom engages in war with the demons in earnest. and the higher ranking demons aren't the punching bag the other humans were.

Yes but remember potato was alien plan from the New World and who the fuck knew what it would do if you eat them.

This is why people let the French, Irish and Poles to eat then first since if they died, nothing of value would be lost.

Rude.

Heck, that's the same for most Asian cultures as a proper way of paying at least customary respect to someone (situationally) important.
Their culture has been a near-carbon copy of China's since the Nara period. Japan got away with being a shithole though, since their own isolation protected them from most of the worst parts of the colonial shit happening in mainland Asia.

>and the higher ranking demons aren't the punching bag the other humans were.
To me that made it worse. Roland's O MY WITCH NEN keeps coming up with witches that coincidentally are able to help him fight/build rather than him just engineering his way out of a problem.

That'd be babby-tier compared to what would happen if China's economy actually fell out (unless every other nation worked together to create a new economic structure, which in many ways it's starting to head to, after how China keeps expanding territory claims).

It kind of makes sense why young masters are so prevalent in their stories. What amazes me is the fact that the regular citizens (i.e. the authors of these stories) realize that these types of people are a problem (it's why the always portray them in such a negative light), but two hundred chapters down the line, they get their MCs to do the very same thing when they get power (i.e. flaunt wealth and 'face slap').

It's probably a cultural pathos. They don't really know what to do OTHER than that. But we also have to admit that power fantasies and wish fulfillment for hedonism/debauchery are a large reason why people read isekai/tensei stories anyways, so there's some selection bias going on as compared to, say, straight fantasy.

What the Church did was offering a excuse, you wanted to invade and take over some land? You want to remove a political rival? excommunication.

What Japan seems to have is the incredible naive and WRONG notion from Protestants that only have it because The Roman Church Is Evil.

I dropped Release that Witch after the Dreamworld shit but from what I remember the Church isn't really evil, it's just an organization formed by ancient witches that was trying to farm witches to make superhuman soldiers that could fight the demons or some shit.
At worst they were amoral, ruthless and kind of misguided.

>there's a translation for a returner's magic should be special
thank the gods for this

The problem is hypocrisy rather than actual might. The Church (and honestly every major religious institution in every culture/society) was playing where it shouldn't with dubious promises of paradise for doing this or that that obviously benefited them or their allies. Don't get hung up on the Christian history comparison part; my statement was to realize that Roland wasn't very wrongful for going for secularity and humanism early on rather than using any religious institution as a societal pillar by the peasantry/common-people that could obviously make things even worse.

The MTL one? Or someone really started translating it?

if there's a church, there's a 99% chance the young nun in white&blue is kind a use healing magic, and the pope is evil and tries to destroy the world or save it in a way that involves destroying it

I don't get it either. It's so weird how they keep self-inserting in a sub or obviously feminine-with-penis-benefits role as well.

The one thing that bothers me about RtW is how Roland instantly knows that the Church's claims that the witches are evil and suck demon cock are false.
Dude has spent like 5 minutes in that world and his memories from the original Roland are worth shit because he was a hedonistic cunt who never picked a book and yet he knows with 100% certainty that Anna isn't possessed by the Devil, to the point that he risks his ass letting her use her power around him.

It's actually self-selecting for this. He doesn't believe Anna is possessed by the devil because that's a fucking stupid idea for anybody in our world, much less an atheist; he'd obviously believe that to be superstitious hoo-haw (ignoring the fact that he's been isekai tensei'd). The part of him dying if she WAS possessed by a demon would mean we'd get no RtW series at all, because he'd be a dead dumbass.

He's talking about the part where he doesn't believe in magic but then Anna demonstrates her power over fire.

Instantly, Roland does not reassess the idea that if magic is real, the Church might have a point and demons and other idea of fantasies might be real either. No, he instantly realizes that this is 'just' a human being with supernatural abilities being kept down by the Church for no good reason.

I'd rather have dicking the ice queen before defrosting.

But that's my point, he bases his judgement on values from our world even when shown that magic is actually a thing in that world and ultimately survives due to sheer luck.
That's not exactly the best way to start a story.

I could see it beginning with the dragon arc being so horrendously copied from the Hobbit's premise, right down to the lost Dorf prince finding his courage to go on a quest with other heroes to take back his birthright against an evil and powerful dragon.
If anything, despite the hype of Will becoming part-dragon and getting a power boost, that arc was actually less interesting to me than the world-building volume that came after it, where Will and friends go on silly filler adventures that fill out their lifespans (like the fencer dude getting married and Will escorting the not-loli bard to the magic college).

>Roland won't get to settle down with Anna, Nightingale, and Tilly

>slowly warms up to the idea of a harem
Where did you get this idea?

He certainly won't with that last one. She's an alpha dyke.

The Church wasn't evil and the author never painted them as such. He actually built up sympathy for the sane members, and redeemed them later. Like this user said, the enemy was seemingly impossible to defeat unless they took drastic measures(before Roland came through). They also weren't the only enemy, since everyone was fighting for political power in that clusterfuck created by the king's death. Otherwise, you can't really have a medieval setting without religion being prevalent, so criticizing it because of that is stupid.
>communism
Roland is/will be an immortal enlightened visionary, so who cares.

I just want more stagnate teasing and william kicking ass and restoring the south to its former glory, then a new big bad can rise up and fight him

The current arc is getting so hype, I hope he can pump out chapters smoothly this month.

I call them rip offs for a reason. Summoning the Holy Sword is probably the closest one in similarities that I've found so far but it's like two tiers below TAS in every aspect. The only advantage it has is high release frequency cause it's on jewdian.

Besides power-ups (unless you really want that), there are other ways you could "justify" that: maybe your characters helps them with money and supplies or information through other contacts, heal their wounds, cleans their equipment or is actually good at dealing with people/negotiation. Or provides moral support, through confessions or recording their adventures and persons, giving them a sense of their lives having some sort of purpose, like a priest or chronicler of the group.
For comparison, see the character of Croaker in the Black Company novels, specially at the beginning.

My main problem is that most of the good writers don't have their stuff translated. In the US writers are more willing to have their work translated to see if they hit it big in a random overseas market. However overseas writers don't bother and US publisher aren't about to push some random book from another country.

I have looked into fantasy novels from other countries but most of the ones that look cool are never translated.

>most of the ones that look cool

And how do you judge novels that you can't understand are good if you can't read them?

the story and setting and characters are all great, but the author spends too much time on superfluous bullshit that doesn't matter like describing all of the clothing in excruciating detail

stick to combat, politics, and worldbuilding dammit

I read summaries come on man get your head out of your ass you know what I was trying to say.

No I actually don't, I don't assume people judge by merely summaries because that would mean I assume you're a fucking idiot.

So you are saying you read the first book of any new series you pick up, or do you just read the first chapter. Unlike a lot of people I tend to by books I read so to save time and money I will read the author's summary of the book to see if I want to read it or not. If the author is any good they should be able to sum up their book to get me to want to read it.

>If the author is any good they should be able to sum up their book to get me to want to read it.
If you take this logic and apply it elsewhere it'd be like claiming a good product is based on their marketing. Once again, you're an idiot and have shallow standards. That's fine, because like you mentioned, you don't have time to invest. But don't pretend that you aren't a casual and that you have good taste.

Summaries are bloody worthless the grand majority of the time.

Problem with that is despite the growing economy, the gdp per capita is still bad. It's like how Switzerland and India have relatively same GDP but population size is vastly different, thus not as stable.

Release that Witch is the most popular isekai bar none and its about kingdom building (its also Chinese, so japanese got btfo as they can't write serious story at all)

OH MY DREAM WORLD

such great writing

Look if I was just going to pirate books then I would be fine with just reading a few chapter to see if it was any good. However I really don't see how you all can sit on a high horse when at least I am willing to pay the writers for their work. Again I would ask how you pick books to read if you don't use summaries, do you just buy books read a few chapters and if you don't like it just drop it. That seem rather expensive to me, but I guess that is a better way to get a feel for the book rather than reading a summary.

>is the most popular isekai bar none
Maybe if you base that claim on the bot-infested viewcounts in Qidian, otherwise no, not even close.

Why are you already deflecting? You come off incredibly defensive and keep projecting over and over. It's not that we are on high horses, it's that you're a casual and you think your standards should be the benchmark, and you try to justify it simply by you not having time and you willing to spend money, both of which have nothing to do with our criticism towards your shallow posts. This is why I call you an idiot, you're like a child who has to have the last word and make validations for your ignorant choices yet still wants people to spoon feed you. Ask yourself, why would anyone help you with the attitude you've shown?

I made a comment about how books with summaries that seemed interesting aren't translated. You said I was dumb for using summaries to pick what books to read. I stated that I don't like to pirate books, and would rather not pay full price for a book I don't like. Call me old fashioned but I still go to bookstores to buy book when I can. If the summary on the dust jacket or the back of the book can't see me then I will give it a pass. Unless a friend or someone whose opinion I trust puts me on to a book I am not going to go into it cold. I also don't have the time to just read a few chapters of a book to see if I would like it.

If you have a better way of finding out if a book is worth a read or not I am all ear. I mean all of this is taking away from the main point of my original post which was that a lot of good books from other countries never get a good translation.

You got me.

That's also the solution too many other isekai MC with harems need to arrive at.

I'm referring to the site which stores everything QI owned WN site has for free.

That's less a problem with capitalism versus communism, and more the fact that many of these communist countries run on a strong patronage system.

Literally depends on how well it's written
What you just posted was written poorly
>feudal kingdom
>cash crops

That has nothing to do with capitalism vs. communism and more to do with third world vs. non-third world country. Because you're an idiot if you think China isn't a third world country.
India has the same problem despite being a (nominal) capitalist democracy, in fact India has it way worse.

But, like, what does it even mean to be third or first world?
Isn't that describing the state, rather than the cause?

America is a third world country nowadays actually, due to its decaying infrastructure and poor people.

Maybe, but I wouldn't say America's infrastructure is decaying BECAUSE it's a third world country.
That's just a rating, not an underlying cause of anything.

The technical definition of the word actually refers to being aligned with the US vs. being unaligned with the US. The First World is the US-aligned powers during the Cold War. The Second World was the USSR aligned powers, and the Third World were those that either didn't pick a side, frequently changed sides, or had their own agenda. In that sense, China was the biggest Third World country since the Sino-Soviet split certainly made them no friends of the Americans.

The way I'm using it I'm referring to their development. They're relatively undeveloped in the civic sense of the word. Laws and culture takes time to take root. In both India and China it's getting better and there's a tremendous generational divide between those who grew up in actual farming villages, those who grew up in cities back when everything was cutthroat if you wanted to survive, and those who grew up on relative milk and honey. India doesn't have the milk and honey stage but the idea holds.

In any case I find it relatively strange that of all the things to accuse communists of it's lack of protection for consumers. US corporate law is some of the worst I've ever seen.

Cause has nothing with it.

I prefer the classics, like this very low key Xianxia.

China has a very long history. It's not unreasonable to try and find cause of their lack of development in some of their unique features.
The original post did point out the irony of the consumer rights thing. People that advocate for more state interference in the market often point towards america's awful practices as a result of free markets. But, ironically enough, the powerful communist states where government interference is taken to its logical extreme, are even worse.

But that's the rub. There are two ways to create a corporatist state, either allow the corporations to become so powerful that they seize legislative power, or allow the state to become so powrful that they seize the means of production. The result is the same.

Plenty of Japanese isekai have sociopath MCs who the moment they get transported from their ordinary life to a fantasy world they start killing with no hesitation. It's shitty writing rather than an indication that all the Chinese/Japanese have no value for human life.

america has never been considered 3rd world by any metrics we use to measure it. it's still a developed nation.

and then there's the original cold war definitions of the three worlds

anyways, i'd consider china to still be a 2nd world country, whatever that really means in a post-coldwar world

There's still a difference between a medival society and sub saharan dirt tribes

It is not meaningful to do so. More intelligent people than you and I have tried and come up with contradictory answers, not least dependent on how you think of Chinese philosophy. People point to Confucianism, for example, except in the actual affairs of government it was Legalism that prevailed for the most part.

More to the point, it's unreasonable because for most of its history it wasn't poor compared to the rest of the world. It wasn't even poor when the Opium Wars hit it, really - there are studies that claim 4000 calories per day was normal for farmers in the Nanjing region and that they could eat honey on a regular basis. Backwards to be sure but not poor.

You can't reduce it to 'unique features' because honestly a lot of their unique features are the same things that philosophers of governance during the early modern period were espousing. The civil service in the British Empire was an almost direct copy of the Imperial Examinations and iirc Voltaire couldn't shut the fuck up about muh enlightened Chinese Empire. The main unique feature that it shares with a lot of other shithole nations is being wartorn, devastated, and poor for most of the past century or more.

If you think that the US is in as bad a state as Somalia then you're fucking delusional. Even the poor people in the US are vastly wealthier than actual 3rd world poor.

It's probably an American griping
Mind they have a lo to gripe about but most of them have never seen or experienced real poverty

Yeah. He's like a spoiled brat who whines about the state of the US when he has no idea how badly off other countries are.

Someone make a new thread the other one went to shit.

Here comes the burger defence force.

>america is 3rd world, i saw a pothole the other day

I'm not American, but calling the US a 3rd world country is fucking retarded. Try going to an actual 3rd world country before saying that.

Yep, butthurt americans alright.

so are you just pretending to be retarded?
if you are, you got me. le epic trolle bro

It's okay, thirdworlder.

I'm Chinese. It would be great if America were actually third world. Turns out they aren't.

You missed a few posts janny, clean up the poo-poo.
