  @jpwong Bookworm will be the exception, and get a new topic per volume, all other series will have 1 topic for all volumes going forward. For now users should keep doing what they are doing, this will only apply when new volumes start showing up, a new volume starts and a topic is created, and that will be that series’ correction topic going forward.

  @Raitoiro None of that has really been an issue lately at all. For the most part these forums have been very calm, these rules are just here now so we can address any future incidents that occur.

  @myskaros Yes, and I thank you for that. This was one of the few months I had to play catch-up because I'm reading so much and have been so busy. I had 3 full volumes to read and wasn't able to start on the first on till the 15th 😅

  Unless sitting on Veight is in and of itself dangerous, she wouldn't need to go into combat to rein him in.

  On the other hand, its 80% confirmed that Haku and Core 6 are secretly allies and planing to something. This I doubt. They aren't allies. Their interests just align. It is better for them to keep the war going at a high simmer without it boiling over into a full-scale war. More DP in the long run for the both of them. Them fighting Leona is 2 demi-gods teaming up against a stronger god. This current agreement only has come about because Haku is a sis-con and Core 6 exploited it. Maybe one or the both them have plans for taken over from Father, but it is hard to say at this point in time.

  Agreed, while it will be probably a crucial step in her growth as a character, Loki's appearance felt too forced.

  @Terabyte said in Master of Ragnarok Vol. 13 Discussion: Yuuto exceeded my expectations, too. I thought this would become a more protracted battle that would last a good chunk of the next volume... I was proven wrong though. @LeinadE Yeah, Rífa clearly said "As to be expected of the man I fell in love with". The marriage agreed upon between him and Fagrahvél was a political one but it's clear they're gonna consummate it soon enough. As for the Flame clan, Yuuto tends to pull out trump card that were in the works for a while behind the scenes all the time. I bet something similar is gonna happen this time around, too. === Volume 13 - Part 10: [23%] room provided to her Sigrdrífa—r rather, the spirit of ► It should be or. [65%] a warmth in the gazes of the three who looked upon ► It should be two just like a few paragraphs before? Fixed, thanks. The second thing was technically correct. It refers to Sigyn. It's badly handled in the source. I've made the sentence uncountable instead to make it more ambiguous and to flow into the natural reveal of her presence shortly after.

  I'm just glad we get these side story updates of Elia doing well at school along with Miyabi. Kanan has enchanting magic, but requires someone who has a specialty element (wind, fire, earth, water, ice, etc.) magic for her to fully utilize it. She would be perfect as a tamer. Give her some healer slimes, wind slimes, etc. and she can enchant anything she wants. Ryoma has all elements (including space/time and barrier). She can easily become one of his employees as well as Michelle. Plus I feel Ryoma was playing classic anime themes like DBZ, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, Lupin the Third, etc. There are even channels dedicated to playing these songs on guitar on youtube.

  BAHAHA the wedding ring! SMH Naberius you should've just started with that. Furthermore, anyone who claimed to be an artist was generally a good-for-nothing. It was better not to get involved with them. Zagan honey are you okay?? Did someone hurt you? Part 8, 25%: ". . . and Naberius' single eyes deep behind her silver mask . . ." -> should be a singular eye Part 8, 38%: "Oh, I killed. He can't come back." -> missing him Part 8, 80%: "But in Zagan'ls eyes . . ." -> delete the l Part 8, 89: ". . . the reason Lord of Magic eyes Naberius . . ." -> capitalize Eyes

  Really enjoyed this one. I watched the anime like a dozen or so times, so its interesting to finally see the source material and spot the differences. I'm also surprised just fast it moves. Are all the volumes this ort I wonder? Truly alight novel.

  I’m not actually sure that, in the author’s mind, Chelsea is fully mentally healed yet. When I first read parts 2/3, it did distress me somewhat that I thought the story seemed to be going the “magic fixes everything” route, but as the story progressed and I started ticking off milestones: by the end of volume 1, Chelsea has smiled, displayed interest, excitement, pleasure, and initiative, but has she ever laughed? I don’t think she has, even once, in the story so far. Maybe she did and I missed it, but I started looking for it specifically not long after reading the part where she smiles for the first time. I can’t recall her crying yet, either, happy or sad. There are one or more illustrations that show a few tears, but the text doesn’t mention her having a really good cry yet that I can recall. Just getting to share those powerful “firsts” with Chelsea, assuming the author gives them the treatment they are due (oh how I hope so), is enough to leave me desperate to see more volumes.

  @Terabyte I don't think "nuts" does it justice. Even Sousuke thought it was a ridiculous amount of firepower for an AS to be wielding. More interesting is that "poker game" in the helicopter. I'm not sure, but I think Kalinin called. Now if Chidori isn't bluffing, she should shift targets and put one in Kalinin's chest or better yet, head. Shooting the grunt accomplishes nothing and finishing off Leonard would be a waste of a bullet. (Dead man bleeding out) Yes, I do think Chidori can channel Sousuke for just long enough to pull it off.

  @mDuo13 said in Grimgar Vol. 16 Discussion: It's neat how Grimgar consistently rotates the core party. Neal and Hiyo, despite being decently competent, are sure not trustworthy party members. Also, it probably can't be a coincidence that Shihoru, Haru's last remaining comrade from their original party, is the one who's been separated from the team. Yeah, I also like how the team has slowly changed its member over the volumes; like right now in a way the only remaining member from the original party is really Yume: all the other have: died, deserted, or had their memory erased; and even her kinda left the party even if it was supposed to be temporary. It also jives with the idea that Arabakia was founded at Damuro, not far from the place where the party most recently emerged from Parano. I don't know about that, it's true that that place has an exit from Parano, but the story spoke of a lake and I don't think there's one near Alterna or Damuro, plus when the Arabakia still stood Damuro was its southernmost city. If there's more to that creation myth that's true, I wonder if some of the other civilizations or figures in Grimgar are somehow tied to the brothers from Arabankia. The other 2 brothers are probably tied to the country of Ishmal and Nananka since they were named Ishmahr and Nahnanka. Something which caught my attention is that the story talked of Grimgar being destroyed by a battle between gods, which doesn't really seem to fit Grimgar but did happen for sure in Darunggar so maybe the human came out of Darunggar but over the years the name changed.

  @Hyferzftw said in Instant Death Cheat Vol. 2 Discussion!: I remember in this show “super natural” the death horsemen told Dean (one of the main characters) when the time comes death himself will kill god as in the creator god. My guess is MC is the literal end of everything, who probably wanted to chill, so he reincarnated/teleported himself as a Japanese high school student and erased his memory to live a normal life. I think about that guy in Supernatural and Yogiri in this series as being similar. In fact when Aoi used her Eyes of Fate on Yogiri I was imagining this music playing in the background....

  @jcochran that makes sense: a succubus appears and Akane uses her own appeal to insulate Ezoe from its charm effect. An incubus appears and either she is immune because of her attachment to Ezoe, or is more susceptible and wants to snuggle with Ezoe in the middle of combat.

  @BartzBB said in Social Game Club Vol. 1 Discussion!: Now I'm actually curious if the real world Gacha Game Developers actually use these jargons in their work. This is absolutely jargon used in the real world. If you ever wanted a crash course on business management and UX design, I guess suddenly there's a light novel for that.

  @setite-0 said in Mapping Vol. 2 Discussion!: You can summarize this whole part as "Note uses a skill he shouldn't have been able to use and escapes with Erin", which is a little bare bones. And also, I don't like the lack of foreshadowing with it. But I guess Note's going to be revealed as someone who can just learn a lot of skills outside his general expertise. I agree that the author isn't very good at setting up payoffs, but I don't really agree that Note shouldn't have been able to use Shadow Runner at all. He just spent 2 months constantly honing his skills to survive, I think the foundation was there, the author just didn't put enough effort into showing that...which has kind of been a problem all along. I still really like the books though.
