I heard Death March supposedly "doesn't do well" lately on this thread, but the LN sales do good enough, AFAIK with around 17k sales per volume in the first week each even after having reached into the second digit, which is pretty good in comparison to most isekai that can't even get to 10k. Unfortunately it seems the anime failed at giving the LN any boost, considering none of the LN volumes got into the top 20 in recent (physical copy) sales numbers I have seen over on MAL (Death March as a series seems to have barely gotten 20th place 2 weeks ago, according to Oricon sales though).

So could this closing of the WN be for a different reason perhaps? Author just wants to focus on the LN version maybe? Or something commercial, like the publisher asking the author to take it down to get more people to read the LN? I think Death March had a pretty good concept though with various LN-exclusive stories giving people an incentive to still continue reading the LN.



Edit: Or is it just on break for a week? I don't get what's going on here. The Google Translated version of that line could be interpreted either way.

Well, probably because I still got to read medassin's original post before the edit, which seemed to sound very different. Even after the edit I couldn't get the possibility out of my mind completely.

Still, I don't understand why some people say that Death March is "latetly doing bad", because the most recent volume had AFAIK around 17k first-week sales, which, as I already mentioned previously, is pretty damn good among isekai novels, only being bested by the top of the top like Re:Zero or Slime.

[The Green One]

Even authors need break sometimes, taking a week off is nothing to panic over.

No, the bolded one is the truth. Trial arc is boring as hell, the latest one with hero seigi doesn't develop into any fight also and while saga empire official that tagging along is annoying as hell it also doesn't develop into any conflict.
The emperor should already know that satuu = nanashi, but it seems that info isn't handed down to the official.

And you should understand LN vol is still around labyrinth arc, which is the highlight or should i say right before the top (IMHO) of the curve, and the quality of the story after weasel arc will fall like a meteor. The trial arc especially is a let down, I feel the very first arc is more interesting than that.

^GreyZone interpreted "doing bad" as in financially
Of course sales is the only thing that matters, right?
Actual quality be damned

No
Really... the boring part is "the waiting for the next update" thing
If we also have to wait for the next week update when it is still vol 12 wn . I think you will feel the same... boring Though

The second one is cause there is no wondering part that make us to curious and wondering what will happen next and make us want the next week to came faster

The third one is cause we are not being given what we want to know
And present it with detour story
I mean why we have to care about trial thing if we are a person that blood thirsty and like blood fight conflict and war
I mean where is the excitement?
Give us our excitement regarding
Sugar relationship with the women around him
About sugar kicking the bad guy ass
And we want sugar to fight and battle the pillar gods and win again them while using his cheat and trampling them beneath sugar foot and make him supreme being etc etc


Meh
But then if the author give us that and just rush to that
It will not make the story make sense

Spoiler for what i think really happen:

This time great demon lord is the type that moving behind scene thing aka mastermind that sugar cannot trample by his cheat and power alone
This GDL is also in the process of doing some scheme in western part
So i think when sugar doing his trial
He indirectly also trampeling GDL' scheme
And hopefully make him snap and rise to the surface so sugar can beat him up

Oops. I'm under the impression that "doing bad" was about the story, because that was what I feel about the current arc.

1. Nay, when i catched up the raw it was around vol 14 ongoing, weasel arc. On that arc (vol 14-15) I never feel boring when waiting for the weekly updates.

2. Yea, we know satuu will clear them / on the victory road.

3. Nay, it doesn't really matter whether it is a bloodbath or country management or princess savior, I like both.

4. Which maou did you mean? If I remember right the demon lord in oracle were all defeated (7 or 8)

[mastermind3342]

Really? My bad then my mistake
From no 3 can i interprete it that the trial thing is not one of the list ?
4. Great Maou from the general mobile armor incident in vol 16 -13
Goblin king or something
There is quite alot of foreshadowing of this
My bet the chief is the last demon lord and the last boss . I think
