Knights and Magic
-
Just curious to see how people were liking it and hopefully find some info on when book 2 was going to start being translated.
-
My prediction for the start of volume 2 is ...today!
JNC's chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... its two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... its three weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope....

I am mostly enjoying it, especially the extra details that didn't make the anime like the bullying from Kid's older brother. Reading about the fight against the behemoth though after already watching the anime drug out the fight a little too much, but a lot of that could probably be attributed to the weekly release schedule of the translations. In fact, I was just about to start reading the first part of volume 2, but couldn't really get into it, so hit the forums instead. Will definitely read it over the weekend however.

Japanese authors and physics
"Physics? Is it sparkly? Is it tasty?"- Ikaruga turned its thrusters to the weapon and started moving so fast that a steam of flames didn't hurt it.
OMFG LOL 🤣
Physics prep school graduate in me is crying tears of blood.- How fast is "so fast"? Mach 5? 1M? 0.5M?
- We know it's a steam of "flames" and we heard nothing about fuel so the weapon got to have a huge air intake for super-heated air. Well not so super heated as it's RED, making an intake even larger, cause less energy injected.
- Why author thinks that moving inside the steam of flames will make any difference? IMO it will make it worse, as you'd add that steam's matter's resistance to ambient heating.
So yeah, author was better of writing "It spewed the dense steam of mana at it" and be done instead of inventing half-assed "explanations".
