Wow this really is a fantasy world. They can get by with only 3 hours of sleep per day. I want to live there.

At first I was like "hell yeah more murderous leads"
Then I was like

That being said, the "twist" was pretty obvious. But hey, let's freaking go.

@nappingcub said in Rebuild World Vol. 6 Part One:

Yeah, kinda surprised my jest was on point. Though reading this part, Akira at least knows his training was out there when he refused to meet Reina/Togami's eyes.

And they used 0.5M meds, not 2M meds.

What was that about feeling ocean and stuff ate the end there?

Where can a dragon live? Wherever he wants judging by him just taking over the temple before he went to sleep. Although I think he enjoys teasing her and seeing her reactions rather than actually consider eating her. He doesn’t seem like he goes around eating intelligent beings

I’m guessing they’re relocating if her grandfather is sending her a letter.

Raid: "So tell me about your ruler."

Totori: "Oh, she's amazing! And beautiful! And amazingly beautiful! And a thousand years ago she brought a God of Victory who defeated a monster!"

Raid: "So the God of Victory defeated an eight-headed dragon?"

Totori: "Why do you know what the monster was?"

Raid: "Because I was there."

Man, Sieg's stupidity truly impresses. Even when having Ellie's perspective on things explicitly explained to him, he still fails to actually understand anything at all.

@arghc Over in the main series, Volf ran into a bicorn variant on a mission once. That encounter gives us the only in-universe description of bicorns I'm aware of:

The beasts had deep purple, almost blackish fur and looked very similar to unicorns, only larger. Their eyes were red and somewhat long and narrow in shape. The clearest difference between them and their close cousin the unicorn was the two horns spiraling from their foreheads, as black and glossy as obsidian.

The purple color was unusual, but as far as I know, the rest of the description is true of all bicorns. So to answer your question, it seems the answer is two forehead horns.

@topgnu said in Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist Vol. 3 Discussion!:

A younger me with too much time on his hands would calculate what would happen with all pieces of metal around a field strong enough to deflect flying metal tipped crossbow bolts. An older me is worried that a field that strong might interfere with the hemoglobin in the red cells of the people around.

The iron in hemoglobin isn't in a metallic state, so it shouldn't be a problem. People do just fine inside NMR scanners.

@GeorgeMTO said in The Royal Hostage Has Vanished Vol. 2 Discussion!:

Your impression is mistaken. Female aimed LNs in general tend to the shorter side [...]

I hadn't thought about it, but this makes a lot of sense. A shonen battle series can keep running dungeon dives or tournament arcs forever, but a romance plot needs to progress, and to come to a satisfying conclusion, and there is only so much you can stretch this process, if that plot is central to your story. (If it is a sideline, Nao and Haruka have been showing that you can stretch it rather a long way.)

It also might simply be that different demographics have different cultural expectations around story length.

Started reading and so far, this story is hilarious, especially the mother’s perspective on her little girl hiding her training and now what looks like a work around buying a slave

@Tacitus said in The Tanaka Family Reincarnates Vol. 1 Discussion!:

Cool scars, what's not to like? In a different work I'd worry about high society gossip but not here. They wouldn't care and the 2nd prince and his mom would squash any idiot who talked badly about her.

Emma's spidey senses are tingling!

Seen Kelvin bee like yeah Sylvia is under Toraj atm and I dunno what Tsubaki would say is funny since knowing Tsubaki she would 100% be in on this entire thing but Kelvin also knows Owing Tsubaki a favor is dangerous in a whole other kind of way and also Gloria I thought you guys had looked into Kelvin ? I mean if you didt least then you would know this guy would only be hyped the nore you talk about THREE AUTHORTIRS OOOOOO

Story feels a bit odd to me but the happy optimism keeping me reading so far. The goddess giving her a -50% cost to healing spells cost seems kinda excessive though, lol

My guess for all this stuff is this is the mmo world as it would be like without players (besides her). Basically the spin-off dating game didn’t have players, you played as the heroine. But her knowledge of reas is the one with players. So elemental weapons were made by player blacksmiths probably.

ROFL, finally got around to reading this volume. I’m looking at it from perspective of that skit “Are we the baddies?” with his gorilla grandmother training him in how to defend or counter all the cowardly human tactics.

so I guess a theme is going to be :

you can be in love with someone, and be in some kind of relationship with them, yet they don't love you (at least not in the same way) and that...ok?

it isn't though. It is setting up someone to be exploited, or for mis-understandings, hurt feelings, or infidelity ...for pain
