(L) Log Horizon (novel)

[Sheba]

New "sherif" in town.

[DQueenie13]

Didn't even realize that Demikas was in the picture until people pointed it out

[rcaladlr]

Btw, I think it's a rule that you do not say "Demikas" straight up. You have to purposely get it wrong lol.

If you must use his name twice in your post, it can't be the same either XD

Demi-glass
Delicious
Demigross
etc

Too much effort. My keyboard hates me so I'd end up typing something like Dimelglijfs instead. It ain't even close.

(I swear, my keyboard has a mind of its own.)


Now ... the wait for volume 7 illustrations begins.

That's a perfectly valid way of spelling Demiglaze

Spoiler for Poor shiroe, novel 1 ch3:

"The goblins are not attacking us."

"We are level 90, of course they are not."

"I like the goblin with the skull on his head. Their arrogant demeanor is cute and weird."

(Akatsuki is talking nonsense with a straight face...)

Akatsuki should be referring to goblin shaman. They lead their kinsmen minions with their ice and fire spells. They may look funny when they arrogantly gives command, but they are definitely not cute.

"You like this type of monsters, shrimp?"

Naotsugu ask again to be certain. Akatsuki replies curtly:

"They are cute and die so easily."

They need be killed since they are enemies, but Naotsugu can't understand what's so cute about them.

"Most magic type monsters looks arrogant, but their armour is as thin as paper and their HP is extremely low. It will be fine if they stay at the back, but goblin shaman will walk nonchalantly to the front lines and is easy to take down. Just need to use 'hide shadow' to sneak besides them and I can slit their throat with my blade. The way their body collapses like a puppet with its strings is so addicting."

As she is not sure how to interpret Naotsugu's query, she shares her thoughts with the others casually.

(... Wah, if you put it like this, wouldn't Shiroe be troubled?)

Shifting his gaze to the side, Naotsugu can see that Shiroe is shocked to hear that. It is natural for mage to have low defences so Shiroe don't need to be so sad. Naotsugu also know Akatsuki doesn't mean to hurt Shiroe.

But even so, Shiroe still looks depressed while Akatsuki is acting as usual.

now this makes sense

Vol 5 ch2 "cake eating contest"

"But Akatsuki is fidgeting with her Hakama and peeking at Shiroe occasionally. She takes out kunai and other throwing weapons out of nowhere from time to time, so Shiroe has to keep an eye on her all the time."

[meggindo]

can someone translate kanami side story pretty please??
She gives me vibes she looks like asuna from sao in anime...
I really want to know her adventure story and her conversation with her team

and also summary for vol 7...
I really want to read the bickering between shiroe and delicious which is refreshing

[tsunade666]

Asuna from SAO? WTF!!!! THERE IS NO F^0KING RESEMBLANCE AT ALL!!!!!

sorry high blood pressure increasing.

this is not the place to ask for someone to translate. ask in BT or in 4chan. The translator in 4chan even translates from chinese to english and there is no chinese translations yet for Kanami SS because of copyright problems.

Well, catching up with the novel but I have only gotten to the end of the first goblin war, and that was great. I absolutely adore the interaction between Krusty and the Neet princess and her exposure about the differences between Adventure and Lander. This volume along with the sale-off of FFXIV made me jumped into the MMO train once again .

The only problem I have is the weird pacing of the novel. It keeps jumping around and most of the time, it's just cut off right at the interesting part.

It's called a cliffhanger.

You don't make 10 cliffhangers in one chapter. Especially to the point that people anticipate there will be a cliffhanger.

So he somewhat over uses cliffhangers.
Could be worse, i swear sometimes it felt that every 3rd sentence in DxD was about breasts, now that got distracting from an otherwise decent plot.

I giggled.

Just re-read volume 3, and curious about this thing:
"How is the food taste for Landers, before Akiba find the secret of food making and revolutionize the world with it? Did the kind of dishes that served in the meetings of Eastal League & Round Table already exist, or is it a same tasteless crackers? How is the Landers food taste for Adventurers in that time then?"

Thanks in advance for answering.

[Avaricia]

Spoiler for Mamare live discussion legit or not?:

Discussion

[Kyu Renjo]

I am currently following it patiently, silently.

Good answer so far from Mamare, and 4ch being 4ch so, yeah.

The food for landers tasted exactly like all game-made food, like soggy crackers or cardboard. .

The food served in the meeting were what the landers recreated after their spies found out the secret from Akiba. The dishes (e.g. Roast beef, bacon, tomato soup) existed, but the taste is as above. The ones selling the food in Akiba are landers so they knew the names and the appearance of the food

The adventurers tend to focus on recreating Japanese food while the Landers tried to recreate the food that is on their menu.

Well, lots of cool stuff.
The whole bit with NHK is very, very awesome. I think 2nd season is very, VERY likely now!

I think perhaps there's just too much things to go through in vol. 3 & 4, and there are two different lines of plot happening in the same time. Many of the scenes could have been more interesting if they're written in more detail and depth, but most probably sacrificed for controlling the length of the text.

IMHO Mamare still haven't mastered how these scenes should be chopped down at that point, and seemingly trying to improve that in vol. 6 & 7. But until the next vol. I can't really say how better does he get.

I think it's been address in the dinner of Michitaka and the other noble. Before the food revolution any kind of raw food material can produce food of same quality and taste, freshness didn't matter. Sugar was treated as medicine.

After food revolution, the nobles began to compete the taste of their local food as a matter of status. Many recipes are rediscovered by following the old recipe of menu made food with a lot of experiment.

Will take a while though. Since a second season (13 ep one) would need around 2 vols worth of material. And i believe 6 and 7 make up one arc. So until around vol 10 comes out i don't think there'll be a second season.
