Yeah, I didn't remember a beach scene in the volume...

Finally managed to catch up.

I guess many agree that Eiwass is sus.
If I understand correctly, the powerful mercenary during the Sarjas attack was part of this mysterious organization, and he seemed to know some details about Ellie and Flugel. If Eiwass is the young master, this would explain his intel on Ellie as well.

Also, I forgot whether Silver Witch is a name for Elizabeth Leiston or Ellie Leis. But the fact that Spider knew her nickname might be another evidence.

As usual, I really enjoy the future exercpts.
So, it seems like Adel got to be a queen before the kingdom fall, and Ellie would manage to kill Bulat.

But I'm really concerned about the fact that there was no record of the Silver Witch having a kid. What happened to Alice???

@Abedeus Personally, I see the Kiryuu-vs.-Fallen Black encounter as the closest thing to a real 'final fight' that the series could've given us while sticking to its guns! I'm inclined to agree with the story itself on the point that Andou and Kiryuu having a full-blown brawl just never would've made sense, narratively or thematically, and going back to show us the rewritten-by-Andou-and-Kiryuu version in full detail would've felt superfluous to me since by that point, that narrative and its themes were already very firmly concluded. It would've been a (presumably lengthy) digression into a completely different series, essentially, and while I would absolutely love to read that digression, I also deeply sympathize with Andou's speech near the end of the novel about how it's far better to go out at your peak than to keep dragging out a story until you have no choice but to end it

Which is all to say: I see your point, but man, personally? This is exactly the ending that I felt this series needed, and I'm extremely happy that its author had the guts to commit to everything he'd set up and go through with it

Dahlia side stories!

And backstories. And maybe even some front stories if we're lucky.

@Rahul-Balaggan Thanks for the quick response. 😊 Eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Finally caught up... been so busy with work that the parts had piled up...

I also did not see the arch priestess being Nameless. It does make a kind of sense... but leads me to wondering what's become of the Spirit King?

And I had to laugh at him going all Gate of Babylon on Hydra at the end.

@Kotenmaru said in Mythical Hero Vol. 10 Discussion!:

@dragon3010 My impression was that she was the First Princess of this generation. I have been wrong before though.

The answer may be far less mysterious then it appears on the surface. She is apparently the daughter of the High King of Greif... she called him father when she killed him and the discussion between Hydra and Ladon after seemed to confirm it. And we know that Greif was founded by the brother of the 3rd Emperor. That would have made him also a member of the von Grantz family. So, assuming the line has reminded unbroken, the current first princess of the kingdom of Greif would also be a von Grantz.

@Betenoire Hey, give them credit... they are starting to come around!

Slowly.

With much self denial.

@heimdal7 yeah idk, alot of this ending is a bit weird to me? Maybe I misread myself but yeah I don't quite get why she could use all those powers with what she called "demonifcation" or w.e.

I'm glad to whoever's idea it was to have Alicia go commando ;)

I feel like this series is good but also maybe doesn't explain enough? Unless it's ment to confuse us as a reveal later but I think it could be done better if so.

@TheGrimLich what I like is that each of these plots brings something different that make the series more interesting. We got the satisfaction of Light getting his revenge on his former party, there are the battles with the masters where he and the summons have to actually put effort, plus all the matter about C that is still shrouded in mystery.
I'm not claiming this series is a masterpiece, but I'm really enjoying it, which is all that matters to me.

@Mythmuncher said in D-Genesis Vol. 6 Discussion!:

Volume 6, part 1:
'carying' should be 'carrying'.

I appreciate you trying to report this, but there's a couple things you should be aware of.

Firstly, we don't report errors in the prepub discussion topics—each series has its own thread dedicated to prepub corrections that you can find linked in the first post of every discussion thread. It makes it easier for the translation/editing team to find our reports if they're all in one place, you see. For D-Genesis, that thread would be https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/5432/d-genesis-corrections-topic?_=1706629330064

However, Volume 6 has already been published so that thread would no longer be a good place to report the issue. The folks at J-Novel Club request that if we find errors in a published book that we send them to support@j-novel.club.

However, I looked at my own published copy of Volume 6 and this particular issue was already fixed in the published version. The translation team doesn't always update the prepub parts to fix errors that get reported, so if you're reading volumes through the web reader (possibly renting?), just keep in mind errors you see might have already been found and fixed in the published version.

Why are these Family Tree missing in the translated version, when they are there in the Japanese version?

Vol.13 - Imperial family

Vol.13 - La clan

Why is this Family Tree missing in the translated version, when it's there in the Japanese version?

Yay for slime diaries giving a different perspective on the events.

Shiori's impact is probably wider than many think, after all if you then include all the monsters who moved into living together with people and the bonds that are forming because of Rurii and Shiori... no to mention it's just getting started for some things. The preserved food the adventurer business is starting up, the search magic, some new revelations about combined magic, and even some changes in terms of education are really just at the starting line. Toss in the changes that her cuisine and the deepening of trade/interaction with the eastern nation.

I can't wait for Shiori to meet with Oliver and realize he was the "lost" man from back then. I wonder if it'll come up that she and Rurii was the inspiration to get a slime of his own.

I've just finished reading part 8 of volume 2 and the outcome of the match has left me cradling my head at how things can spiral to such a degree. While I'm curious of how things might play out, I wonder if I want to subject myself to more pain and agony that is to come 🫠

TIL that "harem" is actually a place, not a group of people. Yes, the dictionary definition is "the part of the house where the female family members live" and has nothing to do with a group of people at all. Anime has corrupted us.

@GeorgeMTO that google translate synopsis...

@myskaros Hi, thank for the reply.
That's understandable, hopefully it doesn't take too long for the schedules to align.
Have a nice day.

Brie, you genius! Bless your childlike heart!

Hi,

We don’t have a specific date set for when Volume 6 will begin pre-publication on the site at this time.

For a general overview of how new volumes are released at J-Novel Club, please refer to the following topic: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/3478/future-volume-release-schedule

We are working diligently to release all Japanese volumes of our licensed titles as quickly as possible without compromising on quality.

Sometimes I'm a bit regretful that Elinasze isn't an adopted daughter so it would be easier to ship her. Not that there is any chance of Flio getting more girls, in this series it's not the protagonist who gets an harem.
In a series with tons of established relationships, it feels a but weird for me to say that I'd like to see some more progress on side ships like Garyl and Ellie, Dale Orst and Greanyl, Hero Gold Hair and Tsuya. I'd also like for Flio and Hero Gold Hair to meet again, have at least an adventure together and become proper friends. Maybe in the final volume?
