@Emblyon I think you are mistaken, there exists only one manga version.

Recently I noticed that there was a manga so I gave it a shot and it was pretty good too, but when I went back to check if there were any new chapters all the old ones were gone and a new version with an altered art style and storyline had replaced it.
Anyone know when or why this happened? I can't find the old version anywhere and I'm not as fond of the new version, it misses so much of what made it great and made it overly ecchi.I feel like I’ve seen someone say this before and and being nonplussed then (I think it was on a site which is currently down so can’t check). I think the conclusion we came to was that they were mixing up two different manga or that something had been misnamed at some point? I mean, what is a manga but a combination of a story with art so if both the story and art are different..?

I would like to show my interest in having this Light Novel licensed as well.
However, the manga that shares the same title by pure coincidence can be left unlicensed. -
@imp2405 there's actually 2 versions of the manga.
One is an overly ecchi version which changes the story quite a alot.
And the other is actually very faithful to the source material.
Though the ecchi version is the only one that I can find anymore, the other version more or less disappeared from the internet. though there's a possibility that it was a fan comic, it looked way more like what I imagined an FLFO manga would look like rather than the ecchi version. -
@emblyon I'd like to see that other version then.
What I can imagine might have happened is maybe that version was a pilot that management rejected (because they always know so much better what sells more) -
The web novel is really interesting. I hope the light novel can get licensed.

And the other is actually very faithful to the source material.There’s a manga by Ao Sonohara being serialised on Suiyobi no Sirius since December 2019. The first chapter of that is the same as in the tankoubon (and also in https://bookwalker.jp/ded26388eb-d4ac-4d0a-bf0f-924dda1137c5/).
Even if another manga had somehow been scrubbed from the internet in Japan, I’m assuming you didn’t read it in Japanese so sites like Mangaupdates and various aggregators would still have it and I certainly can’t find anything.

@imp2405 apparently there are a few differences between the LN and WN so there's a possibility that the "official" manga follows the LN more so than the web novel.
Or even more likely they just went "needs more fan-service", and "add some kind of maskot to info-dump". -
@shiroi-hane I thought the same, so I Scoured the internet, but came out blank.
Though I remember parts of it vividly, like thinking "ah, so that's what Rina looks like" and "Anastasia looking down and seeing she's flat" etc.
There was definitely no AI circle or disturbing looks of ecstasy when beating the S out of zombies.It was around September to November when I read it, and the "official version" was translated and put up mid to late January. So there's quite a time difference, but if it was a scrubbed pilot, there's a possibility that manga-updates/Baka-updates just overwrote it to the official version?
I don't know, at this point, I kinda wish I'd saved it or something. -
@emblyon @shiroi-hane or while very unlikely, the official version is released in Japan, someone doesn't like it and makes their own version (DJ).
And then somehow a group picks it up as a teaser thinking it's the oc ver.
Then either they or another scanalation group decides to pick up the series as a whole and goes to translate chapter 2 and realise it's completely different from chapter 1.
Thus re-releasing chapter 1 as the oc chapter.Far fetched, but I really did read a different version several months before THAT came out on xyz site.

This is one I would like to read

@aruseus493 Ohhh, the cover looks so pretty~!!! I hope J-Novel Club will license this novel soon.
-
Since I read the chinese novel 1/2 Prince I‘m a sucker for stories with gaming elements in it. I‘ve also read the fantranslated web novel version of this novel and totally like it! It would be awesome if J-Novel Club would license this novel!!! Their translations is always the best!!!
-
I‘ve read the web novel and it‘s quite exiting. Would love to read the light novel too!
-
Recently I've bought all 6 volumes just for Sherry's art, and it's worth it. I still have a stack of Hopium lying around for JNC to pick it up (one of these days, soon, I'm sure!)
