The harem aspect comes up way too soon and I agree half the authors who go the childhood route fail to pull it off by triggering the plot before the MC even hits puberty, though I would be pretty paranoid about training to keep myself alive in such a situation before enjoying my childhood too.


I wouldn't want to be villager A who dies at the average age of 20-30 to goblins, thieves, or war.

You know that he's just talking about behaviorally, most light novel children just don't act like children.

But in defense of these authors, children are highly unpredictable and thus extremely difficult to write believably unless you just hit the same stupid stereotypes again and again. For cases with abnormal circumstances, you really can't expect the children to act like real children, if one is reincarnated and has their adult memories then you can expect them to act much more adult. If a child is say abducted by assassins and trained to be a killing weapon, they would realistically just break down mental which isn't great writing. So children acting like little adults in these stories is just something you're going to have to cope with on some level. It's unavoidable because we wouldn't relate to them otherwise.

This is the Nth other world OP character story I have read. And the Nth super nice, good person, justice upholder guy as the protagonist. The story is not bad and enjoyable to some extent but...

Tiresome.

Spoiler for irrelevant rant:

What is wrong with these isekai webnovel authors and their insistence on little kids -- in fact, A BABY here -- being overpowered mini-adults? I hate to generalize, but these otaku really need actual connections with, like, actual, 3D, real little kids. Kids are not mini-adults, they are so interesting on their own terms. None of these authors get it. Just...go observe an elementary school or something and try not to get arrested.

I understand anime's glorification of adolescence, given the cultural context and all, and teenagers are at least fully functioning people barring a whole metric ton of hormones, and I understand that the webnovel subculture builds on that, but this is just pushing it. Kids' worlds are so interesting, so vast, so full of potential, of adventure and mystery and danger, so full of little big worries. You can absolutely have a proper adventure with a child protagonist. You can even add in the precious isekai premise and explore the very interesting perspective of actually being a child dealing with the discongruency, burden, and identity crisis of a past life or being the Kwisatz Haderach or whatever. It could be so interesting, except every single one of these worthless isekai protagonists just want to grind the fucking skill levels in New Game+ mode.

Damn edgelords. If they really want to actually write about level-grinding adolescents -- like most of them seem to do -- just handwave the first twelve years of the character's life away or something. At least then my verisimilitude doesn't get torn to shreds by flying babies and edgy toddlers.

I don't care if you're writing about the reincarnation of Oda-fucking-Nobunaga, at least let the character enjoy a childhood before they start perving on maids, grinding levels, and building harems. Sigh.

You probably already have, but if not you should read mushoku tensei. The children act like children (even if a little more mature, but that can be explained by them living in a shitty middle ages world) and everyone sees the MC as being weird because of how mature he is and even then thguy gets a lot of character developement

[Rasty]

So, anybody still reading this? Has the MC reached adoulthood or gotten somwhere with the heroines?

[Kyureki]

....I barely even remember what was going on when I last read this. I just know I stopped reading it partway through the serial killer mystery arc because it was dragging on far too long and being extremely boring.

[sasuke706]

Yeah, he's reached adulthood. It basically skipped from his 6 year old self to his 15 year old self (whatever adulthood is), with a lot of stuff apparently happening off screen.
Something about the empire and getting along with a lot of generals or whatever, your typical adventure filler.

But to answer your question, the girls (Maid, dark elf, monster amalgamation girl) are all extremely open about wanting to get into a relationship with him, though.
He actually ran away from them (because dark elf's love is extremely heavy being yandere and all) and decided to finally stop being a bitch about it and finally give out an answer when he sees them again, but naturally things happen and it looks like that's going to get held off.

That said, I like how the protagonist has actual reasons for hesitating for getting into a relationship.
He wants a more casual relationship than what the dark elf wants to have, and he feels more or less like he's brainwashed her via suspension bridge effect when they were younger.
Same with the other two but to a less degree.

But to answer your question, it's going at a fairly slow pace (story wise and especially update wise) so you haven't missed anything much.

[Kyureki]

.....The maid is actually interested in getting together with him? I recall she disliked him quite a bit and even after the magic swordsman thing, she only respected him, not see him in that way.

[sasuke706]

Yeah, she seems to be the most casual about the whole thing though.
Chapter 140 is basically her and the protagonist flirting, and she doesn't particularly mind being a concubine or whatever.

It was mostly just respect early on, granted he was also a little kid when she respected him.
Not all series can be Commu-nan with adult women falling in love with a baby-and-or-kid.

[Lionhaart]

Judging from comments here looks like he didn't unseal pioneer elf girl yet even though he had convenient means to do so , he didn't do so even after writing massive nonsense info dumps about :-

"ahh 1shaving = 1mm bla bla bla ahh it regenerates bla bla bla cant we fukin open a wild tunnel to save elf chan bla bla bla some elf monkey went berserk after 7 months shaving bla bla bla I can do it for 25400 times in 24 hours bla bla progress if I do this for 40 days I will be able to this and that about 1 metre bla bla , again in fairy helmet times is slower bla bla I'll do it in 3 years 4 months bla bla but again I have to come once in month bla bla bla bla
[[[[-to be continued]]]]]

That's really disappointing , looks like it was useless to reach chapter 68 after successfully fighting over ultra massive wild info dumps only to find that elf chan flag didn't trigger

[sasuke706]

^No, she gets freed.
She's not important at all so she never shows up anyway.

-facepalm- so that's how it is
uwaa I underestimated author he had bigger trick up his sleeve to disappointment me

What I wished for = mc using no fatigue day and night for year > unseal pioneer elf > "oww you really saved me! Ehh??? you used dimensional chisel for year to unseal crystal only for my sake? Unbelievable!!!" > pioneer elf chan joins harem = GET!

R.i.p expectations

[sasuke706]

There was a trick involved with her freedom, for what it counts. The author tried (really hard at that) to pull a lot of whammies during the mystery arc.
It's just she's clearly not a main character. Freeing her didn't come with some great plot advancement or anything.
Most of the protagonist's communications with her is through his fairy companion that's been with him since the start.

[Lionhaart]

I see , so it's just simple communication huh well I wouldn't have expected her to be main heroine or had gotten my hopes up if she wasn't displayed on cover picture of this series (in middle at that)

This reminds me of case when there was huge backlash in japan when they marketed Alisha as main heroine in painting of tales of zestria game and then later you find out that her appearance (screentime) is temporary just for few minutes and she makes appearance later at ending of game LoL

pioneer elf is probably gonna appear at end fighting -.-

[GodTurtleOm]

Does the story ever pick up again after the mystery arc? Last year back when I was reading it I skipped 7 or so chapters in the middle of that arc and felt like I missed little of value. Oddly enough, it was sasuke706 I was conversing with back in the narou thread as well.

Spoiler for Sasuke's mostly non-spoiler post concerning the mystery arc:

No Fatigue - The mystery arc was awful. Several things weren't properly foreshadowed (at all) and just appeared on the spot, the culprits basically revealed themselves for no reason because the MC couldn't figure out shit, and it's pointless trying to figure out how a murder occurred when it's done by lolmagic (the entire point of Umineko). The murder weapon was the stupidest thing, too. The author apparently went back and amended some things after the arc finished, but I didn't care enough to see what they were. And above all, it just didn't have the mystery atmosphere to it.

I also mentioned it before, but Ed is the most incompetent competent reincarnated guy.
He's apparently a total badass in a straight fight, but still manages to be awful at everything and can't prevent villains from getting away that are right in front of him.
His only redeeming quality so far is he isn't a dense protagonist; I would have dropped it a long time ago if he was. Not that he's trying to pursue any sort of romance.

The only thing that would make the mystery arc semi-tolerable to me would have been if there was a wide area effect over the city that completely disabled his appraisal ability. If, in a Sherlock Holmes story, Watson had the ability to look at a corpse and know the person's name and cause of death, or any random object and instantly know a great deal of information about it, it would be pretty damn annoying if he never used the ability and just ran around and watched Sherlock as people were dying around them. I think the end of the arc had 5-7 "big reveals", but I'm not sure if any of them were good.

[sasuke706]

No, it doesn't really pick up after it. Or more like the author's been updating extremely slowly since.
The next big plot has been set up and now it's just at the waiting for updates stage. So even if you started reading the newest arc, you'd just get blueballed right before anything starts.

Yeah, there was like 5 "reveals" but like I said above, it was basically just the author trying really hard to throw out whammy after whammy.
AKA he's a try-hard.

[Kyureki]

....I guess it's a good thing I never got back to reading this after stopping partway through the mystery arc. It just became way too cumbersome and a bore to keep reading that arc. >.>

[Valky]

It's completed, apparently.

Just a heads up, since I don't really read much of this series.

[wuhugm]

^How did it end?

[Valky]

Err, I don't know. I only read first dozen chapters or so.

[wuhugm]

^Wew

So I read the ending and epilogues

Spoiler:

Edgar (MC) became God
Married Emilia
Another heroine, Minagi, confessed to him
But MC refused saying he's not great enough to love more than 1 girl
Minagi said she'll make him great enough to do that
Then challenged him into a duel and if she won, he will accept the harem
But the novel ended when both are doing their last strike so we dunno the result
