Yeah... this is frickin' Ore Monogatari levels of adorable. And that was my jam — I probably unconsciously compare at least half the romcoms I read to it (and I consciously compare probably at least a third, I'm sure).

Hello, translator here. Glad to see you're all reading Parry :D
I obviously can't reveal anything specific about upcoming parts, but I do want to note that a big part of my personal enjoyment of this series is that it switches perspective a lot--I would say a decent amount more than your average fantasy LN, especially after the first story arc (roughly).
Long stretches of light novel-typical first-person prose from the same character can sometimes get a bit dry, but I think Parry (at least for me) avoids that issue nicely.
Whether the content is your cup of tea or not is up to you of course; but I hope you all enjoy the parts to come!

And we know this is some time after Nao visited the temple in Laffan, but it could be minutes to days or weeks after.

Claudia: "No, major, I'm not angry, just disappointed."

People tend to fear disappointing those they seek counsel from.

A troll with an agenda. That skin show was precisely calculated, make no mistake.

It seems like it must have been calculated on Elena's part, too. Either she did it on purpose, or she sold him a computer with her nudes on it without thinking to wipe the hard drive, or else despite being an expert in her field and customizing the scanner pretty extensively, she still didn't know that it stored that data at all.

Or Alpha's lying to him, and the scanner never had that data, but she was able to construct it after scanning Sara and Elena when they met at the ruins.

This hume understands the fairy language?

I wonder how long it is before people realize they are hearing them in their own racial language, for those that have ‘em?

@Windsagio said in Unwanted Undead Vol. 10 Discussion!:

Augurey I think we're gonna find out is a "Descendent of the hero" or something. We've had some hints of family things, and his current constant list of superhuman skill levels reinforces it.

Siren could have done way better though. The right way to do this was to have a villager or 2 commit suicide and then control (or set herself up as) witnesses.

I wonder if Collette would be jealous as skills of smell?

@Terabyte The Sapling tree might become a Hoko (Japanese) or Penghou (Chinese). A 1000 year tree with a spirit that looks like a black, Pembroke Welsh Corgi with an expressive face (the legends say it has a humanish face). If you have ever met a Corgi, they have the most expressive personalities and always seek to be the center of attention (their jealousy is well known). Worst case scenario that it might become a Jubokko (the vampire tree) that traps people and sucks their blood.

The paint has become the equivalent of the Time Wizard card from Yu-Gi-Oh that Katsuya Junoichi (aka Joey Wheeler) turned the Baby Dragon card to the Thousand Dragon. This would be great to age wine or liquor too.

@Kotenmaru said in These Legs Don’t Lie! Discussion:

That said, even at lvl 100, Harumi had a bad feeling about the leg-loving Thief. Makes you wonder how strong he really is.

Isn't it implied that the hero he offed earlier wasn't the first? If he's killed multiple heroes then he's probably one of the strongest people around.

@TUSF said in The GM Has Logged In to Another World Vol. 1 Discussion!:

Just reached part 4, and wow. The author really did just "slavery wasn't that bad" huh?

It’s especially egregious in this case because the first thing that happened to our MC after he was summoned was multiple attempts to enslave him
You think after an experience like that he might say “it is a very problematic institution that I am very much opposed to” rather than “I guess it’s fine for other people to be enslaved”

All this discussion concerning Mashiro, Iroha, Aki... who cares?

The important question is whether Sasara just achieved Shuwatori!
[Shuwatori: Similar to Satori, NOT!]
Did her brother coming in and interrupting her vlog, with her interacting with him showing her true colors, result in her popularity taking off?
Will she force him to participate in the future?
Will Shoji rule?!
[Shoji: The New StroZero?]

@Shaun__
While they recognized that Yuki was a demon, they didn’t seem to know who he was personally, so “expendable pawns” sounds about right to me.
I’m guessing that the “big picture” plan was to get the kingdom to anger Lefi so that Lefi destroyed them, and then the demon nation comes in to pick up the smoldering pieces. They may not have known much, if anything, about Yuki at all.

@heimdal7 Yeah. Thankfully, the villainess (in the proper meaning of the term) shares the same lack of critical skills, on top of being lazy and spoiled as heck. She is a serious problem, but more in the terms of preventing her from escalating and defusing her without severe consequences.

She would be orders of magnitude worse a threat if she could apply herself to the task of honing her magical and social manipulation skills. Luckily, she seems largely incapable of looking beyond short-term convenience. She may have a gamer solipsism complex, but she lacks any notion of properly building up her RPG character. Min-maxing, level-grinding isekai MCs would laugh or weep at her waste of potential.

Asbert means well, but is likely going to need a sustained re-education effort by his strong-willed, no-nonsense wife, once Nicole drags him to the altar and likely becomes the power behind the throne.

Claire and Vik continue to enjoy excellent synch and seamless transition from adventuring companions to teen lovebirds and vice versa. Their battlefield is the ballroom, but they are still very much a Battle (and Ruling) Couple (one of the best kinds of romance).

The author keeps things G-rated, but I cannot believe they are not going to f**k like rabbits when those fade to black moments happen. I doubt premarital passion getting physical is going to be a problem for them. After all, one of their duties is to fill the royal household with children. Morever, in all likelihood existence of magic tends to improve the social status of women and make sexual morality less conservative (with partners that are a good eugenic fit) in premodern cultures.

As far as I can tell, Claire might well be a few months and a rampaging sister away from getting a ring on her finger and a princess' diadem on her head. Although for the life of me I cannot understand why they delayed making the engagement official. It just complicates things.

Yeah, they got embarassed by the funny teleporting accident, but it was unexpected, and Dion and Keith get caught in the mess. It kind of seemed they were going to have a threesome.

I thought the item was the slime itself.

It was interesting, the understated way in which his advising the Water Spirit to go after those in charge rather than the frontline lackeys resulted in a small number of Deaths while taking a bath among those who were ultimately [in charge/responsible] for the crucial decisions.
Everyone else got a by, provided the situation got cleaned up.

Other than that, most of this section boils down to world building, yes.
But there was some significant world building.

The ending segment concerning the chap carefully selecting a weapon and asking his advice resulting in his suddenly finding his motivation to properly apply himself in learning to create weapons and armor was good.
Now someone is out there using a weapon he made.
His sense of personal responsibility for the results of his own actions is now kicking in, as he really doesn't want something he made turning out to be inadequate for the job and someone else paying the ultimate penalty for using such.

@Windsagio said in Min-Maxing My TRPG Build Vol. 5:

The "GM Tip" about executions (including the planners) makes it look pretty bad though.

Some of the GM Tips have been what I would call "general information" that is only tangentially related to recent events. I interpreted this Tip as being in this category, and relevant to both "what might have happened to Erich if he didn't have Agrippina to help" and "what will almost certainly happen to the captured assassins after they are interrogated."

Edit: The head schemer is far to slick for "the law" to trace it back to him. In my opinion, at least.

@kingpendragon said in Dahlia in Bloom Vol. 6 Discussion!:

And Tobias is forced to drink.

Well, nearly every named character in this series has had a drinking scene. It was about time for Tobias (who says the first line in the first book, and is the second character to be named) to have one.

Maybe...

Either that or he just needs a potion.

I'm leaning toward this, myself.

Well, there's always the attempt to wash a bad taste out of his mouth, and some of what's happened should surely leave him with that.
