At least isn't another volume of food dungeon again.

But the book’s description/tease…

@afdsfafa thanks - I did a ctrl F5 and I then saw it, so either I was blind and missed it (most likely :-) ) or I had a caching issue.

Not happy this was axed. :(

Well the author is only 17.

@LeavesCat @pcj
I think it is a translation error on J-Novel's part. The terms God of Chaos (混沌神) and God of Destruction (破壊神) are both used in volume 1 of Knock Yourself Out!

Most of the time, in Knock Yourself Out!, J-Novel seemed to translate 混沌神 as God of Destruction instead of God of Chaos. But there is one line in Chapter 1 they translated that says "Sorry. To be honest, I didn’t think you were too different from an actual god of destruction." If you look at the Japanese Raw it says "すみません、破壊神か何かだと思ってました。" (Sorry. To be honest, I thought you were a God of Destruction or something.) It uses 破壊神 for God of Destruction. But everywhere else is 混沌神 is used.

If you look at Lazy Dungeon Master, the God of Chaos in spelled 混沌神 and through out the series this refers to Leona. In volume 17, when they refer to Niku as the God of Destruction they use 破壊神. This also lines up with the web novel as the author continued to publish parts for it and

I put a post in the corrections for volume 1 of Knock Yourself Out! but no one seemed to notice. I am going to write to support@j-novel.club to see if they will correct this.

Would both of you write to support@j-novel.club as well if you agree?

@rkkn said in Looks like a Job for a Maid! Vol. 3 Discussion!:

Hold up, Nina. I don't think that line works when you literally just witnessed dozens of maids try and fail.

If Nina were a mean person their failure would be held up by her as proof that they weren't maids in the first place.
But she isn't, so she doesn't.

So I'll do it on her behalf: Clearly, by failing they demonstrate that they aren't really maids.

Seems Zaid is now being forced to grapple with what he's done. And he doesn't like the idea. Not one bit.

Probably could've avoided this by not being such a bastard, but... well, then he wouldn't be in this position, now would he?

@Geezer-Weasalopes Yes, it looks very unlikely it's a random event. There's treason somewhere.

@Kevin-S can you please clarify who was mentioned as a noble minion by Maamei? Thanks.

how many LN's wouldn't have a plot then?

Drama that can be resolved by a single conversation is very common indeed. And I never like it (excluding a few (very few) instances of comedy), so I would be happy to see them go.

@LightningLeaf said in Path of an S-Rank Adventurer Vol 1 Discussion:

Weapon mastery should have given him expertise in swords and such too. I was expecting gun mastery given the cover.

I'm willing to excuse this as a localization/translation artifact (I don't know what 'firearm' is in Japanese) but whatever word chosen had to include rocket propelled grenade launchers as well as (judging by the cover art) rifles- maybe "ordnance - master" just using gun, doesn't seem to have any oomph. but I agree weapon is too broad a term

Munitions Master, perhaps?

So when he comes into the world, it seems like the people that's had any interaction with pre-possessed Zil comes down to 3 people. And from them it seems each had a total of 5 minutes with the man. "Hey, I recruit you, here's a power, bye" Cause they are all surprised when he calls them to him and again when asked to see their abilities. So one of the "main issues" he has of needing to act like Zil seems to be a lot less of an issue than he makes it out to be. Like I feel they've had so little that they haven't had time to make strong impressions of him and his personality.

Second, I really tire of all the stripping and his letting the fanatic run wild. Like he thinks you're God, if you say, "hey, I actually don't want stripping" he'll come up with all the explanations for you and follow your rules. Letting him run wild seems like such an odd choice and the excuse that he needs to do so else he fears it'll destroy their faith and he'll turn and kill him for betraying his faith or something is also laughably ridiculous. And maybe I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't seem to take up a forth of the story. SOOOooo much seems to be about Kieran and Zil being annoyed by his actions or him spreading his religion. Like the funny one off has made itself a permanent and prominent feature and overstayed it's welcome.

These last few parts have been full of the sort of fantasy stuff I love. I'm still hoping he'll get a power up from the dew he drank, another S to his crafting tier preferably. The fairies were cute.

Looks like almost every dad is a Gunther in this series.

Sister will abandon the hero group without a backward glance when she discovers her brother.

There were several places where the translator did excellently. Unfortunately, my poor memory doesn't recall them, merely the enjoyment I got.

Count Iron's daughter was great. I want to know more about her!

The blacksmith is going to be so happy soon.

I was not at all sure I was going to like this one, but so far I like it a bit more with each part.

The wedding were nice and so the fact that Shutola and Rion were able to have their first time.
The tag team battle was cool, although I hope the author isn't going to abuse the win by ring out, I'm especially worried for the battles against the guest characters since the author probably doesn't want to make them look bad.
The second battle was definitely less interesting, Rion was basically fighting a dummy and Dorothy herself is one of my least favorite characters.

@HarmlessDave said in The Reincarnated Mastermind: Sundering Fate with Magic Swords Vol. 1 Discussion!:

@Libri-Liberorum - yes, little kid Allen in volume 1 and Murder Hobo Manservant Allen in volume 2(?) was a lot of fun, including the rescue adventure.

I enjoyed vol 3 as well; they rang in just enough changes by combining ‘magic academy’ with ‘dungeon crawls’ to make it fun.

After that it became (as I said in discord) a bit like Bards Tale 1, old Wizardry, etc. with stacks of 999 Ancient Mithril Dragons fighting 9999 Giant Evil Puffins, though I enjoyed it enough to read through the end of the elf war.

Yeah, I stopped somewhere after where they were grinding in the elite dungeon. Was so boring I can’t even remember what they were up to.

Mixing in the magic academy stuff kept the level grinding from being too obnoxious, but after that was gone it got deadly dull. Replacing the academy stuff with warfighting using Zerg rush tactics was not an improvement.

Anyway. Back to THIS story. ^^;;

The characters are pretty trope-y so far, but they’re executed well enough to be amusing. :) I do like a good example of ‘noble daughter who’s over enthusiastic about self-improvement.’

...if Chris had good enough aim, I'd suggest basically just shooting an organyl down his throat. The odds he has poison immunity are low at best, since we're not, by my reading, at the point in the story where poison-immune enemies are going to show up unless the author wants to kill off Ralph and Hester (and given they're now full of a desire for vengeance as well, that's unlikely at best). So the organyl, which could theoretically grant a skill... is instead going to grant death. And possibly also turn him into a tree while he's still alive enough to feel it.

What a way to go. Couldn't happen to a sweeter kid.
