^ I guess so? Except very little in way of combat scenes or any of that as they mostly amount to everything getting instant killed. Just focuses on traveling around and cooking for his glutton pets.

[wuhugm]

Holy shit... Currently browsing Narou, the amount of highly rated cooking novels are so goddamn high!

Wtf so good about cooking!?

[Kyureki]

I honestly find cooking enjoyable, so I have no problem with this.

[Ruki0089]

Shokugeki no souma and Sugar influence??

[rantaid]

i bet it must have been another blatant attempt to glorify japs soy sauce (kikkoman) and mayonaise as the humanity's greatest invention.

sambel terasi ftw.

[Ruki0089]

Aq suka sambel abc~~

Is there fantasy WN with good development?? Not like wimp-deus novel...

[wuhugm]

Just read 20 chapters of ドラゴンになったので世界を救うためにハーレム目指す (n6141cw)

.....the story development is weird... MC supposedly OP but weak?
Winning gold medals of various martial arts in Olympics yet fight like a hoodlum?
Random time skip... Uninteresting fights... Suddenly went to cabaret club and destroy Yakuza
Also later there will be gunpowder and cannons....
It's... It's a confused novel...
Got high rating despite of them... Wakewakaran...

Got harem and snusnu but dun feel like continuing it...

^ Wow and you were the one to suggest that other crazy one where I couldn't figure what was going on, I can only imagine how insane that one is...


Also new grey hero chapter... and when it comes down to this I really have to question what the fuck was the purpose of the last 5-6 chapters at all? Introduce a random party that comes to kill red hero, let them be destroyed, no boat or teni crystal gains, no one survives to make it back and report on red/grey hero....

What even was the point of that whole series of events if were now just back to spending another 10 years on the island? Was that supposed to be some kind of motivation for MC to finally leave?

It's like this series is an inventive way of making a story go nowhere.

I actually like this series, but I agree it's stalling hard. The entire episode was completely pointless. It basically boiled down to an outsider's perspective on the horror of the end continent, but we've already had several of those so it added nothing. I thought Grey was going to steal the ship at least, but nope. Instead it ended as nothing more than a creative way of going nowhere. The old A-class adventurer guy might not have died though.

I think it will take hearing Blue's name(and remembering his debt to her) to get him to leave.

[Breimn]

A wild last boss vs official last boss (with poor hero kun's party shitting his pants because he is between the two of them).Looks like they dont have a golem with them to use as shield likein WN.

[Kyureki]

Am I seeing that right? They're bending space just by standing there facing off?

[darkdhaos]

I would like to update some info about a novel that I posted here before because now I can give more details, the novel is called "織田信長という謎の職業が魔法剣士よりチートだったので、王国を作ることにしました".

Spoiler for Plot:

The young Alsrod (Arusuroddo), it's eagerly waiting for the day that he's granted a "job" in the temple. In this world when one reaches adulthood, they are granted "jobs" like swordman or magician by divine revelation, among them the one said to be the strongest it's magic swordman.

Alsrod is the illegitimate second son of a small feudal lord, and the seat is already succeded by his elder brother who already put him in the front lines, he's in a position that could lose his life on the battlefield any day. If he became a magic swordman, a job that was possesed by the famous heroes of the past, he could change his situation.

However the job that's granted to Alsrod it's not magic swordman nor any of the other common jobs, it was a mysterious job called "Oda Nobunaga" that none of the temple's people knew anything about it.

However, this job makes one battle power become the top-level in the battlefield, gives administration capabilites that allow to turn a small city into a big commercial city and it also elevates the leadership of the troops, becoming a Haou capable of building a country!

Before long, Alsrod defeats his elder brother and becomes the feudal lord. Furthermore, he prepares himself to become a king and build his own country, considering it to be the shortest route to protect the important persons in his life and his people.

And here you have a more detailed FAQ:

Spoiler for FAQ:

1.
Since childhood, he trained his swordmanship and studied anything related to magic in order to raises his chances in becoming a magic swordman. After he got "Oda Nobunaga" as his job, he got some special abilities, the ones that he currently has are:

Spoiler for Abilities:

-Haou' Strength (覇王の力): It doubles the physical abilities of the user while in battle.
-Haou's Pride (覇王の矜持): While the user it's protecting it's possessions, it doubles it's offensive capabilities (if it's used with Haou' Strength, the offensive abilities are multiplied by 4).
-Haou's Guidepost (覇王の道標): The reliability and concentration of the soldiers or workers under command rises up a 50%.
-Haou's Insight (覇王の見通し): The sense of anything related to the the city and the commerce's economy, will be like Oda Nobunaga. This ability it's usually active, except when the user it's in a state of drunkness or madness.

2.
Yes, but so far there are only two harem members at the moment:

Spoiler for Members:

-Ravialia (ラヴィアラ): A half-elf archer, she's Alsrod's attendant and also his childhood friend, she is the MC first love interest but because elfs have lower status she can't be his legal wife, so she's his concubine.

-Seraphina (セラフィーナ): A count's daughter that became his legal wife through political marriage, but she's very happy to marry the MC, as marrying a hero has been her childhood's dream.

3.
There's no snusnu depiction in the novel, but it's implied.

Spoiler for Reason:

The MC is already expecting two childs (one from each member of it's harem) to be born.

[wuhugm]

^I checked it's still 27 chapters (73k words) and expecting children already? Seems will be a very short novel...

Banal job Magic Swordsman is world's strongest is funny

I'm sure that now it's now longer considered the strongest in the world.

By the way, I forgot to add up there that the MC also receives advice from a mysterious voice (which he laters comes to realize that it comes from Oda Nobunaga).

[Rasty]

^^^ Should I throw a tsukkomi about it not being a job but person name?
Anyway that's not so nice job, it has hidden passive effects. You are gonna get crazy and ganged up on by all the rulers around you just to die before achieving what you wanted to do.

But 73k words and already 2 children... yeah, it is either gonna be a really short novel or it will shift it's focus on the children etc. in the future.

I need a little help.
I'm looking for a WN I read long ago, a few chapters.

What I remember:
-Tags: cheat, fantasy, harem?, serious, tragedy?, cruel description, adventure...(I think ?).
-World: It´s a typical world of swords and magic, but here the monsters are not Pokemons, here they besieging cities and the human race(and others) was hunted,
few empires and kingdoms could be maintained, it is like you can go far without escort.
-MC: I think the MC was isekai, had the typical affinity everything and limitless growth but not OP or Cheat (yet, as I recall).
-Races:Beastman, Elf?, Demons?, Dwarfs, Realistic, and the Monsters.

That is all I can remember, I have a couple of days looking for in Narou and Nocturn, so it may have been deleted.

[Kaito Yamakage]

There's nothing you listed unique to just about any isekai series... except how OP the MC is, which still covers like half of them.

The monsters being the dominant side is the best hint, but even then it's a pretty common setting.

Need MC/heroine personality traits and/or descript, alternatively some keyword, starting location, specific name or effect of abilities. Even the supreme monsters descript/abilities would work.

[wuhugm]

^Isn't the bolded one is SUPER unique!?

^^
MC: The only thing I remember is that he wakes up in the middle of a chase between the monsters and refugees of a new colony, dozens of refugees fleeing into a fortress city, dying on the way, only the MC and a handful of survivors arrive.

Harem: I just remember the tag, but no indications were given yet (It´s difficult but I think it touches a topic about high mortality, for this I search in noc).

This is not a RPG World, a little superhuman ability and growth but not for all, the MC realizes this when he can stop the onslaught of a 2 meters wolf like monster (in the last chapter I read, chp15?) and see how others are prey easily (except the soldiers of higher rank) .

^
That's my assumption, the MC has no memory? even so he asks about gunpowder or oil.

Some chapter were short (remembering, among all, not reach even half of one of Hachinan ja), at that time I used googletl, so I do not remember many things, brain damage.

I don't know we've seen vending machines, swords, carriages, and entire schools, then there's that one series where every isekai is a bishojo...

If we searched we would probably find a few, I guess still unique though...



^ those are more helpful hints, the first one about refugees and no memories sounds familiar, but not ringing any immediate bells, will go over my list when I have time.
