  @raos044 said in Smartphone Vol. 20: Who exactly is Touya's best man? I just realized he doesn't really have many male friends. Isn't Ende an obvious choice? There's also Yae's brother Jutaro, and Lyon the one who married the cute beast ambassador early in the story, and the King of Belfast, perhaps even God himself might be a candidate...

  @LegitPancake Boowkorm and Seirei ~~The users dictate which series get that treatment. No one has really brought it you here, even then it would have to be a few people who collectively ask for that to be implemented. To an extra all non volume related discussion (as in WN content) doesn’t belong here...~~ @LegitPancake going forward there will be an outright ban on all WN discussion in all volume discussions in Members Only.

  @BlueDragoon Oh yeah. That should've been "bit too early". That's my bad. Editor must've missed it.

  @someoldguy Kewl thanks! That's what I needed to know. I didn't want to "commit" to the series if the errors I was finding in in the "catch up" parts still existed. Actually, I saw somewhere that the prepubs were not necessarily corrected as the parts were released. I just did not know what happened after publication and, specifically, if the book was brought back volumes later for this opportunity to catch up. It seemed plausible that they could break the existing epub into parts. I imagine keeping all the prepub parts around could take up a lot of storage. D

  @robert-rodriguez The translator/editor usually check the prepubs topic only while the volume is still being published weekly. For errors in the published epub you should email directly support ;)

  I've read up to 9 volumes now, and my vote definitely goes for Leen now. Her being an ageless fairy is a huge plus for me (a trait which of course isn't without it's demerits though), but her more mature personality with a tinge of naughtiness to it is easily my favourite as well. She doesn't go too far with the teasing and isn't immune to being teased herself either thankfully. Her calling Touya "darling" seriously melts my heart (I just hope she says the same in the raws as well, like Kancolle's Kongou and Monmusu's Miia). She has admitted to not loving Touya as much as the other girls, but that is only better in my view. While falling in love easily does not necessarily make that love any bit worse than love that slowly grows with time, but to me, at least in case with Smartphone, Leen's (currently) weaker love feels much more real and with the thought of it growing stronger with time, a much more rewarding form of love. In the end, love attained without effort just doesn't feel as satisfying. Follow ups would be Cesca and Karen, if they were actual brides that is. As they are not, I'd say Yumina and Lu.

  @Steiner Hey, whenever you can: I'm processing vol.14 for the character guide, and I think the final version of the book has an inconsistency with one of the pillar spirits, who is called both the Stone Spirit (“It doesn’t matter if you convinced stone-bro! We’re more than enough for a puny god like you!”) and the Earth Spirit (The Water, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Dark Spirits raised their hands into the air and joined the spirit of light in their pledge.) -- or at least I think they refer to the same character. Which one should I use?

  @bartzbb While I do agree almost completely with both of you, I can't deny having a sneaking suspicion that the harem in Isekai Smartphone is used as a crutch to not have good character development. That the author chose quantity over quality when it comes to characters (and I think you'll agree that there's a feckton of characters if we count the ones that just get a single appearance). Don't get me wrong, I love harems. I love when harems actually end as harems and not just one heroine getting picked and all the others get fecked abandoned. If you build a harem (even unintentionally), take responsibility and make them all happy, am I right? But I can't ignore the fact that it's used in many works as a substitution for good characters. I think that this story would benefit from having focused on only one or two heroines that are well developed, but I understand that writing even a single good character is much harder than nine shallow stereotypes. But Isakai Smartphone is still enjoyable so props to that. Shows that no matter how bad something is when you analyze it, if it has good "chemistry" that makes it enjoyable then it's enjoyable. Simple as that. I've read a few books where I thought "This story is so good, but why the feck am I so bored..?" which proves this to me.

  @alvinobrooka Oh, I get your problem now. I read the post too fast and missed the could/couldn't difference. I think that couldn't is referred to mass producing them in the Babylon Workshop specifically. The workshop can't apply neither gravity nor modeling to Phrasium, only Touya can. Maybe the paragraph can be updated to mention the workshop to clarify it.

  It depends on what way the author goes with Touya. It's possible that he'll never go past demigod and will just live a normal lifespan, die, and that's the end of it. It's possible that the same happens, but he becomes a god upon his semi-mortal body dying. It's possible either of those are the case, but that his lifespan, while not unlimited, is extended. Or it's possible that they have him evolve from demigod to god directly without needing another reincarnation, giving him an unlimited lifespan.

  @aduil that is just an error on the release schedule’s part. The amazon release date/official release date is March 8th and normally premium editions take up to 24 hours later to be released.

  See, I thought of Kojak from 'bald' but didn't associate him with 'unlucky'. I guess with how the Die Hard series goes Bruce Willis fits, he's in the wrong places at the wrong times to deal with whatever situation that particular movie is about. Actually, the first 'unlucky' detective I thought of was old mate stuck on the bomb toilet in Lethal Weapon 2.

  Turns out I never did finish reading Part 8, so time to fix that. Petrification is a handy workaround for carrying living things in Storage. He should try and learn it. ...or just keep that eye in stasis in Storage and use that. I’ve always considered Touya dense rather than stupid but... berries and melons are not vegetables. That’s a heck of a flag raised there in the final sentence. Author: “Zaubune was a really nasty guy wasn’t he?” - dude, you wrote him as a card carrying villain. And I thought the saying was that idiots never caught colds? 44%: “its demonics eyes” - demonic? 46%: missing close quite after “I feel there’s something sad about that” 48%: “although petrification turned one into the stone” - seems like “turned one to stone” would scan better. 49%: is the “The Babylon” (rather than just Babylon as normal) intentional? “on a whole” - on the whole? 54%: “it was a little hard to fell from behind” - tell. 66%: missing close quote after “more aggressive than the last”. 67%: “natrually” “It smacked its head” - it was just decapitated so this confuses me. 69%: “[Recover]” - [Recovery] 71%: “lended” - lent or loaned? “Provided they had the money, even our common folk could rent the place, [so] we had frequent team matches” 72%: “I decided to let myself in […] Sue invited me inside” - these two statements do not tally and the latter seems oddly phrased, although that may of course be a problem with the original text. 75%: “commertialization”. 83%: “my status as king” - I thought he was a grand duke? Come to think of it, wouldn’t that make Sue a (future) duchess rather than a queen on the last page? Further along that train of thought, wikipedia suggests his address should be a “Your Royal Highness” rather than “Your Majesty”. 90%: “haing” 91%: newline missing before “Baba?” 93%: “watching the games were free” - was?
