Synopsis :
A young man was about to commit suicide and decides to search for a way to die in the internet, but then he found an odd site that asked a lot of questions and had a point based system that allows you to create skills and abilities for a character. He took interest in it and when he finished setting his character he was asked "You will now be transported to a world with the settings you choose, coming back is not possible, do you still accept?", Then without thinking much of it he pressed YES and found himself in another world with the skills and abilities he chose to have.

I'm creating the thread on Slave Harem because I'm surprised no one else did it before me :confused:
This novel is a bit weird is pretty slow, kind a slice of life of a world traveller with cheats, is boring in some parts but I can't drop it.
Personally I hate the MC, is a lucky idiot with some very rare stroke of genius, he have a big cheat in that world but hides it too much.
I dislike how the author changed the world system in some parts, like the magic fire sword at the start, but in the end I want to know what happens next even with all the errors and turnbacks.
^Holy shit... you made the thread
Honestly speaking... it's crap
Nobody made it coz it's crap
Btw, Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World / Isekai Meikyuu de Harem o animesuki... wut?
To be fair, here's my impartial simple review (I read about 150 chapters way back then)
The Good :
- The dwarf girl Sherry, the only "living" character
- Great RPG system, which is imitated by many WN that comes out later
- The non-daily life events like when he's assassinating bandits or dueling his slave acquaintance
The Bad :
- Lifeless. Characters have no emotion. Side characters basically NPC (hell, the discount skill works and nobody realizes anything wrong with it). Even heroines don't have emotion, fucked by MC the first day they met and what's their reaction? nothing. Spent a long time with MC but aside from shocked by his "cheat", nothing changes. No love confession no nothing.
- Boring. 90% of this novel is about their daily lives. Like this, day 9 : make breakfast, teleport to 3rd floor of a dungeon (oh, the dungeon is boring too, every dungeon is the same), grind, teleport home, lunch, fill the bathtub with hot water, bath, dinner, snusnu sleep. day 10 : make breakfast, teleport to 4th floor of a dungeon, grind, teleport home, lunch, fill the bathtub with hot water, bath, dinner, snusnu sleep. Repeat ad infinitum. On some rare occassion, also exploiting teleport skill to buy cheap sell high. day 11 : teleport far away, buy mirror, teleport far away, sell mirror. day 12 : teleport far away, buy mirror, teleport far away, sell mirror.
- Slow. Despite already switching to added experience skills, the leveling is very slow, resulting in the aforementioned boring daily lives.
- Bland. The world itself is bland. No points of interest. Dungeons have no characteristic.
- Obscure. Details severely lacking on geopolitical situation of the world. How many neighboring countries, form of governments, common laws, etc etc? No details whatsoever.
- Empty. No important side characters but the elf lord and wife. Aside from the slaves and himself, appearing characters are only shopkeepers and receptionists.
- Super Hetare. The heroines are all slaves. I know the title is "Slave Harem" but doesn't mean that ALL heroines must be slave. Basically no effort to winning a heroine. Just buy and fuck. No difference to what Satou does with his beloved prostitutes.
That's all folks~

i think my review after 40chapter was that "watching Paint Dry was more Exciting." including the snu snu parts.
The reason why nobody created a thread for this lies in the thing, that many people hate this series (I like it) and that it is almost stalled (update once in several months and usually without much developement).
The MC there is not really hiding his cheat so much, just trying for it not to get unnecessarily know. There are dozens much worse examples, MCs who hide it even in front of theri harem, hiding power even if it means risking someone dear etc.
Also, he was planning for a suicide? Why? (it's been several years since I read this)
While I have to say, that this series has many weak points, it is generally good and worth reading. It has also influenced many (really many) other series on narou.

for the stupid reason that the world isn't fair.
^^^^ Yeah, I was speaking about you about the hate.
^^^ There is even a thread about the mage that revinded his life and tried to master the magic, that one is really boring.
Also, you both have stolen my first reply :) .
^ Well, he had to leave the world somehow. Still better than dying after gets revealed, that you watched a porn of your brother's daughter (small child) during the burial of your parents. (other well known work)
If there's a single common understanding here, it's that this novel is crap...
Lifeless, is what this novel is.
Heroines with doorknob personality
Side characters as interesting as NPC
and stupid MC who snusnu the slaves the day they were bought on (which they just acted like dead tuna) and the next day seemingly nothing happened
^ It is not common understanding. While I agree on all weak points you pointed out, I still think that this novel is nice to read. The only real common understanding on animesuki is that Hentaiga should never get 100m close to any small child :heh: .

Wait this wasn't an insert yourself slice of life?
I was under the impression the characters were intentionally not given much background or personality so its easier to get into the character. It's still pretty half-assed even with that being the case, but as a slice of life it's not bad.
The best argument against this series is its wish-fulfillment, but then again that's the same for the majority of fantasy in general. Reading this series to me was about as good as playing an RPG for a day or two and that's all I expected given the obvious title.
I'm also a fan of this series but I agree it is nothing special, the amount of bashing it gets amuses me though... I've seen much worse series in WN, LN, and anime(or rather the majority of anime these days is worse than this)
@Hentaiga do you like to get to know your snickers bars before you eat them as well?

I read it but I can see and agree with pretty much everyone's points. The charachters are shallow, the main charachter is at best boring, the only real defining trait I can say about him is paranoia. Everything is a secret, and he is suspicious of everyone.
And yet... I keep reading it for some reason, probably because the translation effort moves along at a brisk enough pace, and I do like another web novel they translate a bit a diffrent world with a smartphone.
I used to follow this one, but I dropped it after I realize that there's absolutely no point to the story. I sometimes question if this is what would happen if Death March suddenly had crazy amounts of sex?

Satou and the girls have personality.
none of characters in this series have any that i can tell.
I actually like this one, at least the MC who has a harem doesn´t shy away from doing what he actually want, like a big part of the MCs... but i agree it is a bit slow

Is he manage steal cassia!?
Lol, I agree this novel truly lifeless...
^^
He got Cassia's Sister, as a slave ofc, the guy has zero social skills

No, I want cassia herself and shinmai donburi
^^

Seriously? I thought the next and final slave had to be a elf but the sister of a noble?
Reading the comments it seems like everybody think the same of this novel, is boring but we still read it.
Oh, the more everyone talk about this, the more I remember why I finally dropped this one.
I hate stories where the MCs just commits suicide and is reincarnated to a new world with cheats. Like they won the lottery or whatever. I could ignore this if the MC is likable but, this MC is just... such a wimp. He's a cowardly, scummy character who should have played the villain rather than the hero of his own story. And the only reason he's successful in his new world is because he has cheats. A MONKEY would do better in his place. Like, literally. Without his cheats, he'd either be killed by the bandits or punished by the villagers (cause he stole shoes and made his first job was thief) upon arrival. I read this hoping that one of MC's stupid decisions will come back to bite him or that he would mess up and learn a lesson, but nope. Apparently, the author thinks he's perfect just the way he is!
On a side-note, does MC even deserve his harem? He has almost no redeemable traits and almost no real achievement of his own. He does nothing for his girls except use them and occasionally (and reluctantly) toss them a treat. And for some reason, they love him all the more for it. I get that they're slaves but... come on.. I think that's why so many people say they have absolutely no personality.

This is one of those LN that can be considered like candy. Fun to enjoy a bit at a time and a whole lot of thinking not required. Sit back, watch the train wreck/figuring out where the author could possibly be going with things, and oggle the eye-candy in the illustrations as they occur.
I actuallly like the novel, its good for some light reading.

He didn't.

Finding a MC that does not belong to this cathegory is almost impossible in LN/WN. As for the shoes, this is understandable (he was confused and couldn't expect it would give him a job when he didn't even know about jobs). As for his actions not being the most clever, that is a truth, but again, most MCs are even worse (there are several reasonns for this, but it would take too long to list them up).
On a side-note, does MC even deserve his harem? He has almost no redeemable traits and almost no real achievement of his own. He does nothing for his girls except use them and occasionally (and reluctantly) toss them a treat. And for some reason, they love him all the more for it. I get that they're slaves but... come on.. I think that's why so many people say they have absolutely no personality.
On the other hand, why should they not fall in love with him?
Firstly, you say that he has no achievements of his own etc. but would you care whether a yung beauty with great intellect, great sport abilities and some fame got all that from a god and before that she was nothing? I wouldn't. Important is what the MC is at the moment and what he will be in the future, not whether he was just lucky to get that.
While I myself sometimes get annoyed by reading about the Master/Slave (this in reality is rather common even now in Master/Servant or Superior/Subordinate) eating together, he is nice to them. Having become slaves they could only expect to be bought by an old, fat, perverted man and be treated as sex slaves (depenging on his perversion level quite cruelly treated). Nobody else has any reason and resources to give so excess money for a bishoujo slave.
However they were bought by a rather nice looking boy close to them in age, who is more than first class merchandise (power, money, etc.). He treats them excessively well considering they are slaves and their lifestyle is generally much better then before becoming slaves. I can quite easilly manage to imanige them seeing him as a prince on white a horse.
If we take into account that this is a light reading and so add few bonuses for the MC (shortening time, he might have also been their type etc.) there is no problem with them falling for him.

Do you even know how slaves a treated in that world? Barely clothed,sitting, eating,sleeping are normal treatment for slaves, cases where slaves manage to become lovers are very rarely happens. When they were brought by him, all of them expected this kind of treatment, but instead he treated them like lovers. Thet could heave been brought by some pevert with a weird fetish that likes tortures or beat theirs slaves.
Here are some factors why the MC wanted to kill himself:
- MC's father started beating him after the mother died.
- He was bullied, people at school used to beat him up.
- He became stronger to defend himself from his father and bullies after taking free martial arts lesson, not anything amazing just enough to defend himself and beat someone untrained.
- The guy who teached martial arts lessons for free was some old pervert who liked touching little girls under the pretense of teaching martial arts, he also teached boys to not make himself look suspicious.
- The father started ignoring him when he saw his son was stronger than him.
- Since he couldnt be beaten anymore, everyone started ignoring him at school as a new method for bullying.
- After all those above the MC started thinking that the world is rotten, he didnt have anyone he liked/loved and was not liked/loved by anyone so he didnt have any attachments to the world.
- MC started thinking about killing himself and visited suicide websites frequently but never actually killed himself.
- MC goes to another world after clicking in an advertisement in the suicide website.
I actuallly like the novel, its good for some light reading. Whats good about this novel is how simple the MC is. Most MCs are some badass characthers with big dreams and some kind of talent or get a cheat skill to use in some amusing way, they all have something that make than different from others. But this MC is very average and he doesnt have any big ambition, he is a very simple guy, I think this make him more realistic.

What bores me te most is the fking endeless talk about cooking, everything he cooks is delicious, even the 'failures'.
His endless thinking and theorizing how something works, the way its written is so bad.
When i read a ch of this WN, most of the time i end up skipping half of it.

But this MC is very average and he doesnt have any big ambition, he is a very simple guy, I think this make him more realistic.
That's probably the reason why I'm not annoyed with him as much as I thought I would, despite the many flaws he has. He's an idiot (but then again, he himself stated that), and that he mostly thinks with his lower half. Then again, he wasn't an extreme in either case (in both training himself and in gaming), which leads to him being too cautious (which is something most people don't like for some reason). However, he doesn't push his luck or go overboard/off the handle just because he has a cheat ability. He just wants to live his life (even if it's not exciting), and knows that he can be killed if one is not careful. Truthfully, I expected him (with his mindset) to be landed in deep trouble (whether it was a battle or dealing with a noble) early in the story. However, because of him repeatedly thinking things over and being too cautious, he was able to avoid the most troublesome situations; in which I give him some major points for. However, I kind of find it sad that he was able to avoid most situations ( or not land in trouble so far) that other MCs (who are more overpowered, brave, and/or smarter than Michio)had either more quickly or easily land in trouble (in which they might need some help) than he did.
That's why this novel is so lifeless...
Hahaha that's right. This novel is more like... masturbatory writing for the author. A diary of what he would do in a fantasy world.
Nevertheless, I appreciate the regular translation updates, and it's a nice distraction to read once in a while.
just by reading comment
It feel like
a super easy mode retro game
that also went with super slow pace story...

Also, he was planning for a suicide? Why? (it's been several years since I read this)
for the stupid reason that the world isn't fair.
Actually, from what I read, he wasn't even planning on committing suicide, but was rather browsing the site -.-
Translated Prologue, right at the beginning around 5th line in
Not because I wanted to kill myself.
Rather I was tempted by death itself.
-----
(cause he stole shoes and made his first job was thief)
Correction here, his first job was villager -- I'm pretty sure everyone starts out as this.
-------------
Anyways, yeah, pretty much the same as everyone else, especially Stinkt. It just goes on and on about something for over half the chapter; also, I doubt the author actually tried to cook any of the food he mentioned -.- (For example, I tried making the egg custard pudding 3 times, and they all ended in failure -- they just tasted meh, though I guess it could taste delicious to someone that hasn't eaten it before.)
But, it's good for taking up time, as something light to read and it's regular translation pace, and that's probably why people are reading it :P
PS. First read it cuz I thought it had potential, but yeah was sorely disappointed. That's probably the reason why this thread was posted; creator read it, and thought it had potential, so posted the thread.
PS2. Also, I think the reason why people consider it lifeless is due to how there is no real conflict in the story, thus no real progression. -- The writing is pretty much amateur-ish due to this, and that the bulk of the chapter is about one thing stretch to/past breaking point.
First job is meant as it gets put into first job slot, later he learns how to move jobs on the various slotsfor him snd change his slaves s job.

First job is meant as it gets put into first job slot, later he learns how to move jobs on the various slotsfor him snd change his slaves s job.
Yeah, I know that, but was correcting the quoted, his first job, at the time, wasn't thief, but villager, if I remember correctly
Yeah, it should have been villager.
1st job was villager, he aquired it the moment he was warped in the stall, 2nd was thief after taking the shoes but luckyly for him that world only recognize the 1st job.
What I don't like about the novel are the author comeback, asspulls and the like.
1: MC found a sword who could ignite flames in the first chapters but he never found something similar or talked about it, it seems like that was a rarity but the author never brought it up again 2: the level system is terribly slow and he can cheat it, ok, but this idiot don't think of levelling the best jobs first and waste time on all of them 3: the jobs, instead of asking Sherry what are the best jobs around he unlocks them one after the other and check the skills, any normal guy would focus on hero, wizard or jobless and others like that, or try to unlock the superior class of them instead of trying to make food drop 4: this guy waste too effort on hiding his cheat, for being sure to not being found out he waste the 1st job slot on normal jobs, use grand wizard or jobless, no one cares about your specs.
The author is finally trying to go somewhere with the plot in the latest translated chapter with the empire liberation society, hope it will not become just something the MC remembers to be in once in a while.
The level progression of the MC is all over the place, I understand how some jobs take more exp than others but he have hero from day one, it should have passed level 50 a long time ago, the only explanation for being so slow is the author being unsure if unlocking a superior rank or leaving it be.
Same for Sherry mastersmith job, it should have unlocked one-eye already.
Honestly now I just want to know who is the next and last harem member and what jobs get a rank up at level 50.
^
As I said above, the last member is Cassia's sister. There is a noble dispute and then he gets her as a slave to save her life.
I just can't understand, how so many people hate this series, while so many people love Death March. This one has at least the MC getting stronger. There is even less conflict and reason for actions in DM and while I hate the cooking too DM is worse. As far as heroine personalities go, DM is hardly better with all the heroines having personality only shortly after meeting Satou and then turning into lifeless NPC that just go after him.
This MC at least wants something and there is a reason behind what he is doing (not saying it is clever, but he is at least not just wandering all around in almost episodic story). I can't say he is exactly the best MC, but still better than withered robot like Satou.
^I agree that everyone is better than Satou
But DM is better than this, because the aforementioned reasons (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=5815530#post5815530) and the writing of this novel is crap. Not forgetting this is so boring that watching paint dries is more entertaining, while in DM at least there's always something happening so not boring (but you hate Satou no matter what).

Main reason is how amateurish the writing/story is, I would say -- How it keeps droning on and on about one time for most of the chapter is the main reason I couldn't really care less about it. I would read it, but meh, if it drops.
Anyways, I haven't read Death March's LN/WN, though I've read the manga, so I can't say much, but I think the reason people like that, when compared to this, is that it has actual progression/conflict, and there are more interaction between cast the join the minimum.

In the end, this novel is lifeless... There is no emotion at all... The writer seems just made this for fun
^ Yeah, it is written for fun. I was having lots of fun reading it :heh: .
While I agree it is not an artistic masterpiece, it is fun readig. Also, the MC not doing even one SERIOUSLY stupid thing (as seigi baka MCs and other do) and nice writing (not plot etc., just the baisc level) causes it to be a smooth reading.
By the way:
I knew the MC would get an elf slave but is it really Cassia's sister?How did she end up a slave?
I think it was political stuff.

By the way:
I knew the MC would get an elf slave but is it really Cassia's sister?How did she end up a slave?
Her father was ignoring the noble obligation that is managing the labyrinths in his territory, along with some other stuff. The MC ends up helping the lord guy(Cassia's husband) who he was friends with capturing the father for the crime.
The guy who is being captureds son ends up being a pawn who will eventually takeover that territory but whose actions will be controlled by the lord/the rest of the nobles in that group. While they weren't sure what to do with the daughter when the lord came up with the idea of giving her to the MC as a slave as a reward.
She was given more as a temporary slave who would eventually be freed with some political reasons behind it, but from her stand point being the MCs slave works to her benefit in trying to get revenge on the lord. (Any adventurer who clears past the 40th floor in a labyrinth can basically become a noble and gains various benefits)
^ As he said.
Just to add, she is responsible for becoming slave too, as if I am not mistaken she had other options, but was too obstinate. Also, if I remember correctly it is not past 40th level, but killing (clearing) the dungeon.
As for the dungeon management, this is just logical. The nobles have responsibility to defend their subjects, the dungeons multiply (reproduce?) in time and if they are let be, they owerflow monsters to the surface. It is only logical to destroy excess dungeons while they are yung and before there are too many of them to be managable.
What wasnt explained so far is what they mentioned about the society being a secret because the dugeons might try to assasinate the members if it was public.
Very interesting, thanks.
I wondered what they mean with dungeon assassinating someone but maybe they are able to create a monster for the job?
I'll ask another thing, does the MC unlock the rank up for the hero or other jobs? The author was very silent on his level progress recently.
The lack of a dragon slayer job was a killjoy...

You know what's funny. This novel could have been great to read instead of bland tasting ig the slaves actually had a bit of fucking personality. The closest you get is Sherry, Roxanne is literally a 'yes' machine and Vesta is basically an extra for most of it. My opinion may be biased as I was reading death march parallel to this one, where the character's don't feel like ROBOTS

The Plot also moves slower than a turtle.. There is no excitement reading this one.

You forgot catgirl who is instead "FISH!" machine. And not even Sherry has much personality. The only good chara is probably the emperor.
The other charas with something resembling a will don't appear much often, I'm guessing Cassia sister will be a little different, Sherry after don't do much on that.
Anyone noticed how the bowman/archer job doesn't seem to exist? Never appeared or talked about.
Sigh...the translation site is down, they have some connection problems recently after changing servers but today is the worst..."hello world"...

I agree that the heroines' personalities are the weakest point. Well Sherry is not bad as is and Roxana would be OK, but to make Roxana OK the other heroines have to possess a solid character for her to contrast with. If Roxana got the opportunity, she would shine. You know, MC obsessed (almost yandere, but would never harm MC) battle maniac, what more could you want. The catgirl is unfortunatelly weak (almost not speaking except about things about fishes). And if Vesta disappeared I am confident not to notice for good 20-40 chapters. As for the elf... well, she tried (got shot down and became NPC for the rest of the story).
But well, still better than Yuusha ya Eiyuu Deva Arimasenu, that one's heroines (guessing only from the first and second, couldn't continue reading) are just sex dolls without even solidly speaking.
Also, as for DM characrers. Except of Arisa, the characters always loose their personality in few chapters after appearing (when they get captured) and then continue to go after MC in the same way like NPCs in old-time RPGs after selecting "Folow me" command.

DM characters remain to have personality. They even have POVs (some are on intermissions). The only problem is that aside from Arisa, others don't really get much exposure so we don't usually see it. Sure their personalities not as complex as other heroines on different WN but they're not as one (or zero) dimensional as characters in Slave Harem... And people want to translate the LN version of this when skythewood was looking for story replacement for Overlord.
I fucking forgot about the cat girl. See what I mean here people.
I stopped reading this for a while when that cat got purchased... Since I don't have much to read, I (without motivation) tried to return reading but I didn't pick up where I ended, but during the time when the MC (what's his name again) joined an organization with the emperor. Didn't even felt lost when I found out that they picked a character named Vesta (I don't remember her race)
Then the elf after making some rebukes on the MC absurd set of skills become a silent chara? So sad...
Vesta is a dragon-kin, big girl with big oppai who make tiny Sherry angry, she is a powerhouse but was born from slaves and always treated like them, loves her new lifestyle and is terribly humble.
Miria is there only for making the MC regret the purchase and because catgirls never hurts, but really, the author throwed her in so it wouldn't be a harem of slaves who only done what he said.
I think the chara in DM are much better that SH, they act on their own more often and even have their own chapters, sure is bad aa Satou harem only gets bigger when his physical traits should be low tier in that world, probably people can just feel his strenght and want to get closer to him someway.
The reason Vesta doesnt have much presence is because she was born a slave so she was raised in an enviroment where she couldnt speak or display her feelings, but she already showed how she's pleased with her current life when she mentioned that her dream was going to the temple who helps slave but now she doesnt want to go there anymore.
Miria is an air head fish lover, its even harder to gets a good grasp about her since she doesnt even speak the MC language.
Roxane seems more like someone who likes fighting and respects MC for his strength, shes acts like somekind of loyal knight, when the MC asked if she wanted to modify the slave contract so that she would die if the MC died, she refused saying that she would like to die together with him for being unable to protect him.

That's nice... Except every chapter includes "sasuga Master". In the end, they're slaves. And slaves are like items/things/objects. So they're character are just inanimate. 'tis a pity. Though yeah, sometimes, I enjoy reading this just to see MC getting jealous and having a fanfic in my brain where the girls get stolen since they seem as brain dead as those female NTR characters in h-manga.
Yeah, Michio gets jealous easy.
With his sex maniac job he can manage every girl, without it is only his young man willpower.
I was surprised when I dscovered the WN is at around 210+ chapters and the translators are at 175, we are not much far behind.

Well they had plenty of time to catch up. The WN is totally not moving ahead.
It is going at like 1 ch every 1 or 2 months. And they are short ones with no plot at that.
The TL site is finally getting stable, they released a new chapter today, and I was wrong, it was 179 (now 180) not 175 chapters done, good job.
I can't not wonder how much edit the company who is publishing it done to the script, I doubt you could sell the WN, they had to make it better.
I doubt they got much improvement.

a WN with 180 chap translated?
i must try it...is what i tought at first,but after seeing so many negative review(the worst being,no plot progression)i'm no sure who i should listen to.
beside,the reason i ignored this WN so far was because of those three word:slave,harem and labyrinth
no a story to look for its originality(sic)

Doubt it, I bet Japan readers are much harsher and it still got published, probably this author is lucky.
Michio really loves Cassia, if her sister is how I think (same features but younger) he will forget to deactivate Sex Maniac.
On that point, he got her as slave for protecting her and making a favor to the duke but does she accept to "do it" with him? Because it seems he took her in for avoiding some enemy/rival do the same and abuse her.

You sure about that? Since (based on a spoiler in this thread) she have her on objections and had other options than becoming a slave (or the spoiler was false). If that's true, then there could be trouble.
As for this WN becoming a LN, I don't think this would be picked up and left with 'no changes' whatsoever (if this WN had so many criticisms to it, along with some other questionable WN being picked up). It's true that this WN do need some improvements in some areas, just leave certain aspects to it alone.

Lets say that a certain dog made her undersrand that as a slave she has no say.
Ooohh...I get it, love how the dog wants the master happiness above everthing else.
Is even possible the details were kept between Michio and the duke side and R-dog just made her go the 1st night ritual as everyone else, whatever, it should be a fun chapter to read.

The elf chick is a naive noble ojo-sama, she at first was being rebellious while having accepted her slave position for her own purposes, and Roxanne basically beat the slave sense into her. Along with incorrect common sense, so she just casually accepts it.
She was half-prepared to be the MCs wife so she can take his political position when he eventually gains nobility as part of her revenge, though sleeping with him right away was unexpected on both their ends.
When she sees half the stuff the MC can do and does, she doesn't question it or isn't surprised by it like the other heroines because she literally has no idea what is "normal".
Nice.
So the list is:
A yandere, loyal, talented and multipurpose dog girl.
A serious, critic, smart dwarf girl.
A cat girl who is cat in a girl body and that is.
A humble, big, naive dragon girl.
A very naive noble elf girl.
Does the ojou elf fight in the dungeon? If yes, what job does Michio give her?
I would switch Roxanne back to beast warrior and make a frail new comer the priestess.
Mage.
Also the cat girl is something like an assassin.
Miria is a assassin, Michio selected that job for her and it even fits well.
I discarded mage because I thought Michio wanted to avoid the possibility of his and a companion null each other.
That means she used the usual method for becoming a mage who is a 50/50 pricey bet with death or Michio can make mages now?

The problem with two mages is the chant, MC doesn't need to chant for his magic, which is also why he can double cast multiple magics at once using multiple magic jobs.
The only way to unlock mage job is to use a burst skill that exhausts MP or HP on something. In that world nobles all give their children a burst orb when they are like 1-3 years old and have them use it on a monster so they have the potential to become mages when they are older. I forget the exact logic, but using it as an adult has a much higher chance of death, like how the MC almost suicided when he used MP burst early on.
To use spells one has to have mage job. But the prerequisity for gaining mage job is having used spell.
The only item (only known/availible) activating a spell without the user having to have any special job etc. is the suicisde orb (activates suicide spell). It causes great explosion at the cost of the HP going to 0 (death). The trick with children is, that they have not enoguh MP to cause the spell to really take effect. Therefore the spell fails (and they survive), but the fact that they used a spell stays. If an adult does this the chance is big that he will have enough MP (as it needs only a little) and thus booom.
How did MC get it again, the hero's skill?
After saving a village from the attack of a gang of thieves, Michio is not sure if thats the only prerequisity. If i`m not mistaken, he thinks that the act of saving a village from thieves needs to be the first real combat experience in order to get the job, but he's not sure, the reason he thinks like that is because there would be more people if the only prerequisity was saving a village from the attack of thieves.
I meant mage job, not hero job. Did he get by using the hero's special skill.
^^ And because the only other person known for having that jub did exactly the same (with it being first campaign).
^No, by using cheat spell. He can obtain several cheat spells through the cheat points he has (1p = 1 spell and he can change it back to points). The spell he used first was MP burst if I am not mistaken.
Oh yeah, he used the cheat spell who use every mp for making a attack on the enemy, he got wizard after trying it out, was hit by a severe attack of depression.
That is a more safe suicide ball in the end.
The hero job seems to require saving people when being a villager or winning against a powerful enemy who is assaulting the weak, is even possible is a combination of various factors, only one people getting in history makes the unlock requisite hard to guess.
I would like this author telling us more on race exclusive jobs (sex maniac/beast warrior/mastersmith/one eye), we don0t know if hero is a exclusive, but I think not, and what elves have.
Michio was pretty close to getting level 50 with hero and jobless, and even Sherry was almost there, I want to know if they unlock anything, the author isn't giving us a stat update when we really want it.
More than just status update, there are not any updates lately.
I meant mage job, not hero job. Did he get by using the hero's special skill.
Among the skills that he has like having many job, exp increase and many others, there was a skill that was a magic type attack that he used it once to get the mage job.I think it was called "Full MP release" it spends all mana for a single attack.
New TL chapter out, it seems like the group is going all out and will do all remaining chapters one after the other, little more of a month of daily release, good.
Another slow chapter today, I thought the merchant was going to give him a fake card but nope.
We are getting really close to last slave, just a few days.
Is easy to guess the emergency from the duke is about the plan for sheltering Cassia sister.
Found illustrations of last LN vol . A bit small tough.

It's an alternative world version of a dude getting up, eating his breakfast, going to the office, coming home, and sleeping.
There are plenty of more in-depth worlds filled with mystery, action, and drama, but sometimes you just get tired of all that BS.

I take and watch a bad anime every season, it makes all the others "taste" so much better.
Slave Harem is that for me, but for novels.
But it still made me curious about some things and then I created this thread.
Finally the last one was introduced, I thought she would be just throw at him but they had to "force" her.
Seems like the next chapters will focus on levelling her up.
Rutina have a nice character, is sad to know the author will dumb her a bit though...
Next chapter will probably be about getting her some equipment, grinding in the labyrinth or "grinding" in the bedroom, but maybe it will focus on the slave contract.
Seems like today was the last chapter of the daily rush, I had gotten used to it...
Roxanne started the brainwashing, I thought it would not take long from the description but only a few hours...?
if only they did more than same thing over and over again O_o I get it slice of life and such but jesus xDI have to catch up I think i was on 170
Wow...Roxanne teachings took less than a chapter, it wasn't even showed, lazy author is lazy.
I'm guessing SnuSnu in 1 or 2 chapters and then back to grinding and cooking.
The coup d'etat was so calm...MC just warped a few times...
^^
The only 'battles' of this WN happens in MC's head.
Wow, I had lost hope in Hero unlocking something at lv.50, the new job seems great...even if it lost meteor...I bet the author wanted to make meteor something great who greatly helped the MC and made people awe, but it would make impossible to keep a low profile and so he simply, slowly made it disappear.
Next unlock should be Sherry one-eye right?
If Jobless unlock something at level 50 Michio will probably select good skills for it this time...will the class name be "lazy bum"?
^^
You shouldnt forget that while the increase XP if for the party, the reduced requerimente for xp is only for him. So even if the girls lvl up really fast, its not even near his speed.
And they are fighting at floors that dont give much xp for their lvl.
Well, jobless will probably turn into something like "jack of all trades and master of noone" .
Since we are close to raw we will soon have to wait for months for 1 ch of " litterally nothing happens" .
As for his harem i wonder when will MC let Roxanne stop being healer and focus on her racial job. Since he has now a wizard he should just do it himself.
I also dont like Roxanne being a healer, it would be better for her to get her racial job and the MC take the Priest job.
Same here, giving the most skilled fighter that job was stupid (well is Michio) as they don't even take much damage in their battles.
I was surprised from the elves race job, it seems like the skills it gives are bad but probably is simply have bad compatibility with a dungeon.
"The reason as to why I believe Rutina will become a Grand Wizard quickly is owing to Gained Experience 20x.
On a side note, she’s a Wizard Lv5 at the moment."
So it does affect them, I thought it was strange as the new girls catched up so fast.
There are two exp related skills
one that reduces required exp , the other makes monster give more exp
Only the latter one helps the girls tough.

Read my other post...
They are fighting at low lvls floors (2x), while it gives good xp when you are lv 1~20, it slow down a lot after, and the MC only got to lvl 50 with his jobs cause of the reduced requeriment in xp, and this one is not shared.
Oh, I had forgot he had 2 exp related skills, thanks for refreshing my memory.
In the last few chapters he talked about adjusting magic power for making his spells more or less powerful, this is new, I thought it was fixed and he couldn't control it.
I hate how this author every once in a while introduces a new battle mechanic like it was there from the start.
So sad dragons have really no reason to exist...
Rutina bed scene is getting more chapters than I expected, I'm not really interested in that part but as Michio "deflowered" the others shortly after getting them is a bit weird is taking so "long".
I really think the editor had to spice up the LN, I don't think people would spend money for the WN.
Don't know, but if it have 6 volumes out is not remaining on the shelves.

Since the beginning there was this mechanic... maybe you also forgot about it :heh:
About Rutina, if i'm not mistaken its the next day after she turned into a slave... it took about 6 chs, but remember that its still the same day.

She still took the longest. Like, more than 24 hours.

They went home at 2h~4h AM, woke up, while he left the brainwash was done, then they went to the labyrinth, when the went back home, theres the shower where she already takes part and then the bed time.
Unless im forgetting something, it didnt even take 24h :heh:
Wow, long day, must feel longer for Michio who wants to ravish her.
And he could decide how much powerful doing a magic from when he unlocked wizard? I totally forgot, I was sure it was like a game and the attack always dealt a level based damage.
It is probably something only he that has chantless can do.

When he was 'playing' with his points, he could increase strenght, int or other status. IIRC he even tested how many hits was needed to kill the monsters.
@Breimn
Its not about chantless, but about his character reset.
Isnt that when he increases stats with points? So it was only about that? I tought he had learned to use magic better. I expected too much from him.

Theres the stats points and the bonus points. With the bonus points, he can have 7+ jobs, increase exp, descrease requeriment of exp, fill the crystals faster, his sword, but he could get defensive equips or super broken magic too, he used it a few times. Its just that all the point have a limit based on lvl.
He brainstorm really hard in the beginning to get the most of this, but later on, he just says that he will get durandal or another job.
Woah, it seems like the author just remembered them too.
200 chapters in Michio finally unlocks his real OP MC status...shooting a frikin lazer beam, I hope isn't all talk and the beam is terribly weak.
It would be funny if he discovers the Gamma Ray just kill everything and understand if he started using it at the start things would have been way easier, his low int stat really damaged him.
Rutina self confidence will probably take a hit, Sherry will become a living "?", Miria and Vesta will not understand what happeneded and not even try to do it, Roxanne will simply say he done it because "is master".
The translators group must hold until tomorrow...then they can even rest until next friday.
^^
He couldnt use it when he tried the first time, he only used the 'mana explosion' that gave him the mage job and a meteor.
I know that, but a normal guy would have tried again after a while, after understanding how wizard job and special skills work, months passed.
Woah, Gamma Ray really asked a lot of MP from him, even with all his jobs and party skills it still brought him to depression.
MC thought it wasn't simply a lazer but a wave of pure radiation, what do you guys think? If is radiation, shouldn't the boss room be irratiated now and contaminate the next challenger? Have Michio just gave a dungeon cancer? Luckily the party members are not affected by it but if Sherry knew what he had just done blindly I think she wouldn't have reacted so calm.
Yeah, I know, is magic, the effects probably disappeared shortly after.
He finally decided to put Jobless as first job, it took 200 chapters for the paranoia of being discovered to go down.
Area Effect Magic cant affect people, even when Michio went hunting thieves, he had to use single targets spells because the area effect ones wouldnt cause them damage.
Area Effect Magic cant affect monsters, even when Michio went hunting thieves, he had to use single targets spells because the area effect ones wouldnt cause them damage.
No, AOE can't affect people. Monsters are valid targets (as can be seen from him always using the electric storm AOE spell).
I know,I wrote wrong, already edited. But yeah, thats what I meant.
Still a bit paranoid...
I wonder what will be the next plot direction, MC have a full party, complete harem, high levels, a home, no enemies, low profile (more or less) etc.
Next thing should be killing a dungeon or reaching the 42 or 45th floor but what after that? I can't see him as a noble, or anything different in his lifestyle after becoming one, maybe a bigger house and few more slaves only for housekeeping but that is.
I just thought how much he had to level before being able to use meteor, the hero job really asks a lot, and he had other jobs who helped with his mana pool, maybe a hero really requires a party for using his skills well in that world.
Who knows, maybe he will turn into next emperor towards ending ?Considering how much he gets along with former emperor he may be able to marry some daughter of his (if he has one) after he becomes a noble.
BTW i am still waiting for Sherry backstory.It feels like she may have been some noble or something.
I fear it won't get any ending. The novel is almost stalled, so at least till the LN reaches till the WN latest chapters (which might take a while) we won't see any big progress in the story.

I just thought how much he had to level before being able to use meteor, the hero job really asks a lot, and he had other jobs who helped with his mana pool, maybe a hero really requires a party for using his skills well in that world.
They are bonus spells, but spells given by classes (or they are, but really high tier), so I don't know how you came to think that. From what I understood, the Hero class boost all stats, making it the best job for parties, not to mention Overwhelming, which gives a sort of adrenaline rush.
What I mean is, meteor was the hero special spell, only that job have it, before Michio was able to use it he had to increase his level a bit, for a native without the exp cheat it would have took years.
The hero job increase all stats but Michio had to use wizard in combo for having enough mana if I remember it right, wasn't meteor a spell with a high consumption?
It seems like every job increase some stats, hero increase all stats, wizard is for magic related stats, warrior for close combat, the effects are even shared in a party so as the girls get the bonus from him he gets it from them, Dragon Knight high endurance would explain why they don't get much hurt, after all Rutina strenght is abnormal for the level she have.
You sure the meteor is hero specific? I thought he still has to use cheat points to use it. Also, all the jobs give bonus to whole party (which he find out rather far in the story) but it is one leve (metaphor, not exact number) weaker than the main bonus that it gives to the holder.
Having just the second tier hero would be really barely enough to fire the meteor once, he has so much MP because all his magic bonuses from the classes stack (hero, jobless, 2 mages etc.).
Kaito Yamakage
2016-04-27, 09:22
The hero specific spell was the acceleration one, the second acceleration one not related to the sword.
Meteor and GRB were the same as mana burst, skills he could switch off and on using cheat points. Meteor was the wide AoE and GRB is straight line AoE.
It's hinted that there's a legendary class higher than wizard that meteor/GRB might be associated with but no one knows for sure.
Well considering that the items really exist in that world, it is only logical to expect the spells to exist in that world too. The unknown thing being only to which high class the skills associate.
Since Grand wizard or whatever it is called only gives intermediate level spells then it is likely.
Yeah, there is probably a sage or warlock job but as grand Wizaard required a lot of exp before unlocking we can forget about it for now.
Meteor wasn't the hero spell? after all this time the first chapter really mixed in my brain.
Humans cant impregnate elves? Try saying that after MC levels up his sex maniac racial job so he can be the first human ever to impregnate any race xD

I am almost sure that few classes up from the sex maniac will be a class with a skill enabling him to have children with esentially anything as long as it is a woman (manipulate impregnation chance at will to be precise, so also enablign him to have sex with human women without any risk). A pity this work will probably never get so far judging by it's current advance speed.

Wat? the novel is still ongoing? I gave up on it after the mirror sale. Can't relly be bothered to imagine what may come next for our boring as hell MC+co.
^^ Re: Monster is actually more boring. It has good story, nice writing and all it should have, but the diary style makes it impossible to get even the least bit attached to any other character than the MC, and even to him only barely, which makes it quite boring (what is the point of having so many heroines if you know nothing about their personality, newer hear them speak and don't even remember their names, because they get mentioned whole once in the story...).
^ It is. But the update speed is so slow, and the story so unpresent, that it is not worth reading even for the ones that liked it.
^Total 2 chapters in the whole 2016 man.
Just let it die, honestly...
Quite sad though...
Many novels with extreme potential like this and Kakedashi Programmer just blunder something really badly and practically dead...
Well this one (as a few others) clearly gets updates only when a new light novel comes out to boost it's sales.
And I do agree, the author should either start writing it or let it die completely, this is like eternal last spasms before death.

People seem to hate the labyrinth in this one but I actually liked those parts, the thing with this series is youre not supposed to imagine the demonic monster hunter/tera monsters always out to kill you like most series, but everything in this one converts to moefied 2d pixel monsters from RO when reading, you just knock dem poring bitches a few times and they literally explode into money loot.
The way NO ONE in the world questions anything about the world in this series is almost an art. Mass mind control.

It is the line between them is actually pretty small, though my point was shit that is boring to others can still be amusing, randomized alley, small room, and boss room combinations mixed with the monsters scaling to level, drops, and the system in general.
Very few series go as far as this one in detailing the systems, monsters, drops, even when this one uses the usual standards for them.
I mentioned before but its not much different than playing an rpg with the same randomized dungeon crawlers for a day.
Not really what you would expect if you were planning to read a novel though....

Generally, people don't play RPGs just for the grinding though. It was shocking to me that the 5th most ranked novel on syosetu repeated the same exact arc for each of his haremettes. Even the floors were introduced in the same way.
Kaito Yamakage
2016-09-06, 17:57
We call them casuals, also those people responsible for mass produced WoW clones these days. Grinding in certain RPGs is really fun. The Japanese seem to actually particularly like grinding the shit out of games especially the hikis.
Throw sex, slaves, grinding, moe, and it all hits home pretty easily with the types that have been reading WNs for 10 years in Japan. If 90% of narou readers were looking for the next harry potter I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have even made it in the top 10000 with how shallow it is...
^ I can't but agree with most of what you was saying.
But seriously HP? That one is shallow as hell too. And the MC is naughty brat.
Slave Harem hit it so well because:
It had sex.
Dungeon series weren't so frequent by that point.
Did some upgrading to the world system.
Had so-so good writing and no glaring problem.
While currently there is a mountain of better works with similar theme, many of them are just building on top of DH, so at the time those works weren't there and it might be a tad unfair to compare them.

There are so many reincarnation series because people like reading it. There being the extreme things like the ones you were pointing out is just people (unsucesfully) trying to be unique in the bounds of this genre.

Woah, slave harem sells well? That really surprised me, is a calm story and the mc isn't the center of all chaos, I can see some people wanting to rest their mind on it, still strange.
The paper novel must have greatly changed some parts, is a nice read but nothing more.

This was like the original laid back solid growth stat/job based series. Not to mention he has sex with all of his harem members and there's no drama. No romance even, just harem, sex, and leveling. Same reason any other thing sells to nerds.
Not to mention it was in the top 10 for like 5-10 years and still has one of the highest point values on narou. Out of every person that reads it, half or more may drop it, but with the number of people who will find it, its popularity only drops because the author basically stopped updating it.
Compared to any other series that held similar stats its sales arent really great though still only 7 published volumes and only just now getting a manga.
God knows why this got a manga it's one of the worst novels I've read.

I found other aspects of this series to be more messed up personally. Like how 90% of their salt/spices/food are item drops from labyrinths. Or how they have remote villages which merchants go to for osme reason even though every other explorer/adventurer can teleport between towns at any wall.
Or how everyone has casual "ownership", not just slaves, but in general the "head of family" in this series can freely kill or sell members of their families without punishment. There are almost no people who resist becoming slaves as well, sometimes even casually accepting it, even though they can easily be ordered into suicide misions as well.
I usually don't think deeper on this one, because it feels like every character in this series is an NPC that is working under "Gods Orders" and cannot resist the powers at work and then things just get kind of crazy. Especially since it pulls that off while acting like they're all normal human beings in a normal isekai slice of life style.
^Yes, exactly~
Of course they are all NPCs, I mean the DISCOUNT SKILL works!
i only remember ''as expected of master'' shelly can think for herself exept when she is drunk '' a blow up dragogirl'' the rest i can't remember
Shelly's catchphrase is "A scholar once said..." then continuing with funny trivias, but when pressed further about who are these scholars, it turns out they are just random dudes :heh:
Stupid MC for a stupid world, after all he choose it.
In the end is a serie for who wants to live the dream, every problem is smalltime and takes only a bit of effort to resolve, his hardest challenge is levelling and unlocking more jobs and paths, but even that is much faster for him to do than any other in that world.
He now must only unlock that "breeder" job and destroy the race rule.
Destroying the dungeons doesn't make much sense as many materials come from it, without them countries would wage war on each other for resources and it would be Earth all over again, maybe the secret society wants to erase the surplus dungeons that are only a risk to the normal populace safety?
there is a breeder job in this novel?
Kaito Yamakage
2017-03-30, 08:16
Not yet, though around the year 2050 a chapter will probably come out that gives him a job with cross species breeding.
^ Lol, so sad that I can't deny that.
^^ The dungeons are increasing if you let them be and get stronger and stronger. Thus taking out the surplus ones is certainly necessary. I can't remember how much of the world humanity had and how much of wars there was, so who knows, but yeah, erasing all the dungeons would just lead to much more wars.
The racial jobs all have an advanced job, maybe sex maniac advanced job is a job that can cross breed.
The breeder thing was my own half joke, but as jobs have a higher rank unlock feature I wouldn't say is impossible, the MC being from another world could even defy the rule on its own but as no girl is pregnant yet(and he tried) it seems like he is affected by it too.
I find strange of a MC not being able to have children's so maybe the author will try something in future, maybe add a human to the harem.
I almost forgot the MC had a face that wasn't well received in his original world, the author never used that plot device in the story after he got in the new one, it was the main reason he learned swordmanship and crossed worlds but is strange as it wasn't never touched again.
MC said many times of how he knows his face isn't beatiful but never gone over that.

yes, seems I got the wrong title. I will delete the post now. Sorry about that.
Got it mixed up with Himekishi classmate. Dont raed it, trust me <.<
Usually in a slave harem novel, there are still non-slave heroines, but not here
He specifically bought them for that purpose

I always considered this one of the ones where the author was trying to go for the whole "in isekai and no common sense need a slave for info purposes" but then just kind of brushed past the information part and went "need a slave for everything".
Though it is easier to imagine a NEET going to isekai and going this route than it is someone who can't even properly talk to a cashier clerk at a convenience store somehow picking up the adventurers guild receptionist.
(Most of them would have better luck with kidnapping and going for stockholm as long as God hasnt bestowed upon humans the omnipotent power of detecting crimes committed (holy shit that ability is like giving all of humanity identify cheats))

Now if the manga just goes for another 55 chapters we'll have new content!
I just hope they don't throw that crappy "it was all a dream" side chapter in...
With how things take place in this one I wouldn't be surprised if later chapters can do like 10-15 WN chapters in a single manga chapter. If it gains decent popularity enough to keep going it might seriously surpas the WN in content.

The Prologue of MC doing the suicide research and finding the game file and his whole attribute re-rolling process was not included.
It starts off with Michio logging in.
I can't read Japanese but it looks like a summary of his character creation process is what the first 10 pages looks like.
Well that is what it looked like to me anyways. The reason I say this is because he obviously thinks this is a game as he did in the WN.
He sees target levels and the such when he looks at the horses.
But thats what shows why he is the way he is. The story already doesnt have much of characther development, actually, the only development Michio had was the first chapter that described his current personality and why it is like that, and they actually took all that away?
Well, at least with in the manga its easier to show characthers emotions which might make them better.
I think the author could change the POV for better characther development.

lets be honest here
the Slave Harem series is gonna be better in a manga format because the written form of it was not very good
I kinda compare it to Re:Monster in that the manga is going to be able to tell the story of Slave Harem far better than the WN of it possibly could, especially to an English audience
instead of having the written form describing character emotions and the such, it will be easily substituted in a drawn panel
Death March is another whose manga does this very well
Yeah, but considering how the manga didnt mention about Michio visiting a suicide website, it show there is some kind of censorship.

Yeah, but considering how the manga didnt mention about Michio visiting a suicide website, it show there is some kind of censorship.
but how often is Michio's background explored through this series?
not a whole lot
Michio does carry over his slight paranoia and low self-esteem issues going forward but his suicidal thoughts are non-existent when he comes into his own in this new world
His paranoia still exists, he doesnt trust anyone because of his emotional scars, thats why he buys slaves instead of looking for comrades.
fishstick
2017-05-06, 11:09
His paranoia still exists, he doesnt trust anyone because of his emotional scars, thats why he buys slaves instead of looking for comrades.
well Michio trusts his party members but mostly because they are also his harem
but what I was trying to convey is the story of Slave Harem does not really revolve around the MC's character flaws
Michio's death wish and feelings in the Prologue is largely ignored by the author by the time he leaves the village in the initial arc
so in a manga format - it is just very easy to just scratch it out because there is no reflection of it in the overall story
the rest of the series is him adventuring in the labyrinth, acquiring slave girls, more adventuring, having sex with said slave girls, more adventuring with a side plot of exposition of the city he is in, more sex, etc etc, until we get the Rutina storyline that was never really expanded on
much of this can be changed in the manga format because many chapters are repetitious
so I expect many of the labyrinth and night scenes to be glossed over in the manga in 3-4 panels because they are not really that important to the storyline
I have a feeling the manga story that is coming is gonna feel totally different than it was in reading the WN
Yeah, just look at Death March manga as example, just the starting pages feels like a different story.
the manga will probably put some effort in making the dungeons exploring important and introduce the girls every 2-3 chapters, maybe with a few timeskips so to make the harem fast and keep readers interested.

Well it has been out since 2011, it had like 2 years on a lot of other series and was literally in the peak of the start of the isekai boom. Though Overlord came out in like 2010, it's WN wasn't written very good(in the way that keeps people reading, not in content).
One thing I'm still surprised with in anime, even though they've only turned 1 series from the top 10 overall rankings into an anime Re:Zero, you'd think with the popularity of it they'd at least put one or two others out from the top before doing some of the random crap they have. I was really expecting something like Kumo or Slime Tensei to get an anime before other stuff though...
^Mushoku and Arifureta had sex so unsuitable for anime I guess

As for if this Slave Harem to be made an anime, I can only say anime producers have lost their mind :heh:

hey - are you forgetting Testament of Sister New Devil got 2 seasons???
but the one thing that Slave Harem has going against it is a clear lack of content (and direction) beyond the "Rutina" arc
the manga right now has rushed through alot of the WN chapters in a relative short amount of time because they literally take the info dumps and turn them into these short little panel scenes
such as in manga 02 when Michio is testing Durendal
the pacing is already different from the WN because nearly the whole village arc got scrapped post bandit attack
and manga 03 already has Michio meeting Roxanne
I have a feeling the "labyrinth" chapters will be much the same and will be re-tuned storywise to have an actual ebb and flow instead of a "grindy" read to it
the real question mark to this manga is what will happen when it catches up to the WN...
and that could possibly happen in 2 years time
Testament of Sister New Devil at least had a semi decent plot...
This series was trash.
^Testament's characters have personalities :D

you compare a series with characters with a series with blank paper

Shinmai does have a better plot but (imo) Slave Harem's story isn't complete "shit"
the biggest difference is the latter is written poorly in comparison to the more popular series to date
that and the plot of Slave Harem itself reads like a grindfest that has no real direction
you compare a series with characters with a series with blank paper
I'd like to think I was comparing a series with a generic plot + hentai to another
my biggest complaint of Shinmai is the "hentai" in it is too forced and the openness of it in its story because took away from the plotline it does have
(the above does not pertain to Volume 10 material as the author does manipulate the plot in such a way that their "sexy time" is less forced and more as an actual reason)
Testament's characters have personalities
but Shinmai is hardly a character driven series
because most of the them have the standard generic trope
Mio is the busty newbie demon girl who is a closeted sex freak - hardly original
Maria is the loli over-sexed succubus - cmon now
Yuki is the now hottie childhood sweetheart in love with the MC
Kurumi starts off in a rather unique position but quickly folds into the plot as Maria's sidekick with a touch of MC longing syndrome
Zest is the classic antagonist who falls for the MC
and Chisato... well she is the hot teacher trope with some "incest" thrown in there for good measure (plot of this is a later reveal from what anime shows)
all in all - Shinmai is your standard 2-3 episode hentai series stretched over 11 Volumes worth of material
however, do not take what I have said above as me slamming the series
the truth is I like Testament of Sister New Devil
it is a guilty pleasure
and anime was decent enough --even though I would say it is borderline hentai with really poor "hentai" scenes-- and the OST for it was great for showing the climatic scenes in the LN
LN is a bit better overall since it stretches the story out at a different pace than what the anime gave us but (imo) it was not anything truly spectacular
(edit reasons: corrected typos and had to finish my thoughts on the matter - I had to leave earlier to go back to work lolz)
^Those are character archetypes
Nothing can escape from archetypes nowadays since there is already so many series in existence
You can simplify all of them as : Red-haired Tsundere or White-haired Kuudere
But personality is a separate matter from archetypes
In Slave Harem, only Sherry the dwarf has personality
Everyone else, except MC, are NPCs

I agree with taiga on this one. Every character is gonna be put into an archetype regardless cause there's just too many. What you can do is give the character personality, or character development. Or personal events that shape them.
I mean Midoriya can basically be put under hero loving otaku. But what's great about the character is using his otaku research to its fullest to get as much mileage he can from his limited body.
Naofumi is basically greedy, revenge hungry tsundere but he's also much more than that. You get glimpses of his life back in Japan. How he was doing way better than the preconceptions you'd have on him.
The only time character archetypes can go fuck themselves is Joseph Joestar. He is the original owner of the almighty PLOT ARMOR. Able to avoid any kind of backlash from characters, and from fans.
No matter how atrocious he gets.
Run away from killer vampire you blew to bits. Oh Joseph, creator of the joestar secret technique.
Spying on your own mom naked. Oh Joseph
Running away from the climatic showdown. Oh Joseph
Crashing every single plane you ever touched. Oh Joseph
Attending your own funeral. Oh Joseph
Cheating on your wife at the age of 61. Oh Joseph
^Yes, yes, exactly like that :D

Scary example magician.
We altready talked about this, this novel have nothing unique or really interesting, it simply a slice of life in a world with no events, as the MC actually wished for.
For some reason it got readers, boring and all we still stick to it.

Yeah, IKR nothing new here. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to find a new RO server to play for the 700th time.
If author wants to avoid the 4+ month inactivity warning there should be a new chapter here pretty soon though... Totally forgot where things were at though luckily the author realized the readers forgot as well and has included a recap summary at the start of every chapter for a while now.
It's just like Smartphone anime, nothing special, it doesn't make me smart, but it doesn't make me angry either. No harm in just watching.
the manga adaption seems to be decent, good.
I'm really starting to think that sex beast job will evolve in something able to overcome the race barrier, it would be sad otherway.
