How could a second generation and a third generation give Sain and his attendants so much problem? If he was struggling to try to have some remotely control of the situation, how is he supposed to fare against stronger opponents?

Isnt he supposed to be the strongest holy knight with a lot of experience, or did he slack off his earliy teenage years? What about combat experience? Melia didnt hesitate to kill someone, shouldnt this apply to Sain as well? He at least showed signs to be capable of killing humanoid opponents.

Compared to the president, he feels so lackluster. Sain could have for example made multiple sanctuaries or expanded them (the size wasnt mentioned) to encase the whole battlefield. He could have also used the light ray to incapacitate his opponents.

Did the author nerf to build him? Just so the author can act like Sain is getting slowly stronger, when he already has that strength? So he doesnt steamroll everything?

There thinga that makes this story enjoable and aspects that make it less enjoyable. I hope the makes it clear why the President is that strong, steadfast and composed in his actions, when Sain obviously should have had the same quality.

Volume 2 (Premium Edition): A Bonus Short Story
* Bitterness

A lot of Finnish names the author uses, Kaltiainen, Valjakka, Juutilainen. Juutilainen brothers is pretty interesting because there were the famous Juutilainen brothers in the Finnish wartime, where the older one became a national hero in the battle of Kollaa and later became famous in the French Foreign Legion, and the younger was THE top flying ace of Finland at the time(94 confirmed aerial combat victories in 437 sorties).

There was one instance in the previous volume as well, 'tonto' is likely after 'tonttu' which means an elf or gnome who are usually regarded as assistants to Santa Claus.

@Malloc sure, linking to other sites that have the information would be better than manually updating that, but having all the right links in one place for all JNC titles would be nice.

Also, I don't think the grouping of (JNC has the license and volumes are already out) vs. (new volume not out and/or not yet licensed) would be setting expectations too high for any reasonable reader. Saying the license has already been negotiated for the next volume isn't promising it will start appearing in x weeks.

We'll start working on volume 3 in a few weeks.

This was a fun one, more amusing to me than the last couple.

Poor Keima, frantically trying to give anyone else the credit, even trying to spread nasty rumors about himself.

@cosmicspear said in Lazy Dungeon Master Vol. 9 Discussion:

I appreciate how despite trying to lay low this whole time Keima still wound up being legitimately pretty strong and cool.

Just like at the end of the last volume, the part Rokuko keeps watching over and over. Sleep-deprived Keima is mighty Keima :)

With his golem power armor programmed to mimic S-ranks and his own overpowered spell casting he probably is at least A-rank even without using dungeon master powers or summons.

Wow, that's another huge batch of bonus short stories.

@cibastian There’s sort of a workaround for this. (Again, not ideal.) If you go to the Search page, open up Advanced Search, and scroll down to Categories, you can select Members and check the box for “Search child categories” to get everything in the Members section. You could also select multiple categories if there are any series that you don’t follow. On the plus side, you can save Search Preferences, but the links always take you to the beginning of the thread.

Hi all! The premium EPUB has just been updated with the textless cover for Kobold King Vol. 1!

@bartzbb While I am quite appreciative of the artistic appeal of a good illustration as wallpaper, I do have to wonder about copyright laws. While that usage would probably be covered by fair use under U.S. Copyright law. I have no idea about other countries.

Keep in mind, I grew up in an era where record companies balked (quite loudly) over making cross-media and backup copies of recordings for personal use. My POV is somewhat skewed.
