I see this volume went on sale. I'm thinking of buying it, but were the various errors in the translation of this volume (including what seemed to be an AI prompt) fixed in the release?

The first relocated comment related to the order of the illustrations has been addressed in the published volume.

Unfortunately, I can't really verify most of the other reported issues, because the person reporting them described the error without providing the context sentences.

For example, the first thing mentioned in the third relocated comment has an example sentence and I can confirm it was fixed, but I don't know about the second since I can't load the screenshot.

I do see that not everything was addressed, since I still see Demon Lord when searching the published epub, which was mentioned in the second relocated comment. I imagine at least a few of the he/she mistakes remain, since those mistakes tend to persist in the published volumes of other series as well, but I don't want to confirm without precise details.

All that being said, J-Novel Club does regularly republish volumes with new fixes. So, you can buy the volume, report the unfixed errors by email, and wait for when editors have time to work through the backlog.

This volume isn't bad by any means. If this was the first LN I'd read I might even think it was good.

Having read many other LNs, I have to rate this: meh. I found it almost entirely lacking in anything fresh or original, without any moments that made me go "neat!" or "wow!" or "dawww" or that brought sadness to my jaded heart. It was just there, unfolding a familiar sequence of events without any surprises.

Reinald's disregard for succession planning and just how much of a mess he can create by his actions is staggering. I sort of thought he liked the long term planning horizons, but apparently not so much.

I sorta got the feeling that he was putting on a show so to speak. He's always prided himself for concealing his inter-most feelings and actual plans to others, so this could have been a deliberate move to mislead Karen about his true intentions.

Ew, Yoh is slimy.

Fisher should know Elizabeth can perfectly well take care of herself.

The ending made it feel like this was only half of a volume. Still, I really enjoy reading this series.

I'm kinda torn, here. On the one hand, I'm not a massive fan of the 'story' stopping every couple of chapters to give us giant heaping piles of some other side character's backstory. But on the other, I did laugh at Arisa's classmates embarrassing her in front of Tsubasa.

@Ingraman agree. Lot's of suddenly returning series it seems.

Cohabitaion so early in the relationship. It nice to have the smaller cast to focus on though it looks like Cheryl will soon be her to add some drama

The theme this time seems to be his sisters asking for his help.

A manual? Sounds useful. Johnny Realmseed's gotten lost.

And so, Mary's secret is revealed with a massive "And? You're still Lady Mary, this changes absolutely nothing except possibly explaining why you're so obsessed with not standing out."

@koh - my first thought for harem-free slice of life with dash of adventure goodness is Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, but a little more detail about what you're looking for might get you better recommendations.

You might also want to post in Light Novel Discussion where people not reading Land Mines will see it.

Yea, that's not really the kind of effect you'd get with a GBU-28. Explosive fill is only marginally more than you have in a 2000lb bomb, and there's no impact fuse either. So assuming that it could penetrated armor that anti-materiel weapons can't (it was designed to penetrate reinforced concrete, not tank armor), you're not going to get that kind of explosion in a huge open space like this was described as. That's the kind of explosion you get from something like the GBU-43 Massive Ordinance Air Blast weapon.

And people think Mikki is the worst character in the series...
My gosh manga-only are unprepared with the Masters... and Cesta could be even worse than Doc.

@Almond-Magnum said in D-Genesis Vol. 10 Discussion!:

Not sure I like these guys. Under the random banter, there seem to be a solid core of assholery.

I’m just hoping our two heroes get to see even the hidden posts.

I wonder if there will be a 5- or 10-year timeskip at some point, so that Carmine's children can become politically relevant. I'd be very interested to see a reincarnator princess, because it'd force Carmine to balance the political reality that princesses are for forming marital ties with important families with the personal reality that his daughter has memories of a culture that would not accept such a thing. He's already promised a daughter to the horse tribe, which to a modern woman would look like being sold off to barbarians in return for military support (or the setup for a romantic fantasy novel).

@alahue Did you mean July 6, but chance?

We keep getting different iterations of the story that started this war.

@_Elf I am with you, but OCD requires me to finish the volume now that I have gotten this far.

@myskaros There's no point in making luxury products if there's nobody to buy them, after all. There's also the factor of projecting wealth to foreign visitors; you wouldn't want your royal family to operate out of a small office building and wear simple clothing with no jewelry. It wouldn't make them look financially responsible, it'd make them look like they're unable to afford anything of value, and other countries wouldn't take them seriously. Spending money to maintain your image is important, so long as you don't spend money you don't have to pretend you're richer than you are.
