@bloodygaikotsu said in Despera: Ain is particularly uncomfortable of Barbara's presence as she is frightened of her pale white complexion, presumably having never seen a Russian before. Well, yeah, just like the author if he seriously names his russian character BARBARA ANDREI. Though, admittedly, at least it looks like a name, she could have very well been called Elektrichka Sapsan like that poor girl from Pretty Cation.

Halloween 🎃 bump~☆

i want to bring this up to clarify an above comment. At least as far as i've read in the fan translations it's believed that all the people brought over have a unique power it's just some woke up right at the start and others need a catalyst. Example main character getting his arm gnawed on by a slime

It's spotlight time and I'm not sure what else to say—so I decided to share some screenshots of the manga adaptation and some various reviews of the novel and the manga: spoiler spoiler

@the-green-death Actually, I don't really discern much between LN and general literature. A lot of old LNs are sold or rebranded as non-LN title now. There's this new medium in the gray area called "light bungei" as well. So I just lump them all together as Japanese literature (even if some complain about how LN can be literature, I just use the term "pop literature" lol)

The full fan-translation is too famous, good and old for the digital release to have much sense tbh. Though you never know, priorly translated famous VNs usually sell much better than their counterparts without a fantl.
