(L) Saihate no Paradin <Paladin of the end>

[Breimn]

Vol 1 of LN is out in english , go buy it/check it.

[The One Above God]

Summary reminds me of Hyaku ma no Omo. I hope the translations continue for this one -_-.

[bakato]

So if I got this straight his patron god Gracefeel AND the enemy god of undeath Stagnate both have the hits for him?

[sasuke706]

Stagnate definitely has a thing for him (she has a severe hero fetish and wants hero demigod babies) despite their beliefs not lining up well at all.
Patron god is hinted to by her acting like a jealous kuudere whenever her sister hits on him.
Otherwise, Will's luck with women is god awful. He at best gets to the friend-zone and it's obvious.
I think I recall him doubting at one point that his no luck with romance could be divine intervention.

Apparently gods having kids with heroes isn't too rare of a thing, by the way. Well, heroes themselves are rare, but you get my point.

Since this series is being published as a light novel I will move it to that forum.

That being so, all the permitted aspects we allow web novels, including linking to them and a translation in the first post, will be removed. No further links to fan translations are permitted.

That first volume was awesome.

i love this series, it is very similar to Mushoku Tensei as they are both about MC earning redemption after wasting their past life. And unlike the other tensei series, there is no easy cheat mode. The only cheat the MC has is his memories form his past life and it does not included him knowing how to farm or built gadgets. The MC earn evey but of his power and abilities.

I didn't like Mushoku Tensei. It's one thing to try and redeem youself after living a miserable past life, but it's another to have driven your mother to death and not even go to her funeral, but I do like this series. Main characters trying to live better second lives always sounded like such a bullshit, eye-rolling concept to me when I read it in other stories, but the genuine sincerity here really helps me feel some sympathy.

His past memories and knowledge allow him to really make the best of his unusual circumstances and fortuitous upbringing so it feels less like a cheat.

My favorite part is the magic mechanic. It and gods follow the conceptual trope that's been all the rage recently, but makes it less of a cheat. Gus is a true Gandalf dishing out useful, realistic advice. He knows magic is limited and risky so he advises Will to avoid it. Blood teaches him muscle and none of that overcome power with technique that's been a little too overdone.

Just checked j-novel and they're finally starting volume 2. Can't wait to see where Will goes.

It is pretty glorious... It's got everything that The Hobbit had _plus_ it's got crazy strong ass-kicking main character instead of Bilbo.
Not that there was anything wrong with Bilbo but, well, we're in the pop-culture era of the super-hero after all.

Justus R. Stone in youtube said

"He Never Read Mushoku Tensei, but Basing on it's Summary
it's similar redemption path like Faraway Paladin."

that's why it got me here hahaha

Okay there is one thing that bugs me and its not the romance angle, its basically the same problem I have with High School DxD.

How the hell can the Creator aka God be killed? None of the good or evil gods have managed to kill each other and even when they lost a physical form they continue to exist. Yet somehow I am to believe the God that made all other gods, was killed by a handful of evil gods. How? What were the good gods doing at this point? And does this outright contradict Gus claim that the evil gods aren't evil just that they are portrayed as such?

I mean clearly what happend was that the Creator being around would be a Deus in the room, but couldn't he have just said and once the Creator was done he left back to the unknown place he had come from.

Diablo the game has the same glaring problem, where somehow a clearly superior being is killed , while weaker created beings can't be killed completely throwing power scales and common sense out the window.

Also just an aside, while the romance in and of itself doesn't matter to me, by definition as a human, a romance , an eventually wife, and kids, is by itself part of a fulfilling life. So if that is what Will strives for then he really shouldn't go the celibate route.

Yeah. It totally doesn't make any sense and there's absolutely no precedent except in nearly every big name pagan mythology.

My problem specific with Paladin is why aren't any of the lesser gods killed, if the creator god can be killed? The gods should be dropping like flies, if the one god who just said everything into existence can be killed. I feel like its more like an allegory or a aesopic tale, because it sounds impressive and gives great meaning to words if the "creator" got killed for being careless.

Also other than Norse Mythology, as far as I know in Greek/Egyptian Myth, the other 2 of the big 3, I don't believe the "creator" was killed. Zeus was the son of Uranus/Ouranos, who in turn was the son of Aether, who was the son of Chronus, who was not killed as far as I know. And even then Chaos is considered by some the first god and he was also not killed. Ra is traditionally thought of being the top god in Egyptian myth and as far as I know he wasn't killed either. Even with the Norse mythos, Odin doesn't quite fall neatly into that creator role. True these polytheistic religions do have some gods that can die, but typically the closest thing to a creator god does not.

And in the case of Dxd its complete nonsense as its the Judeo Christian God that dies. Who is explicitly omnipotent/omniscent in most forms of Christianity.

Dxd is loosely based on real life Religions. The God of Bible didn't just die because of one series of event but several that led him to his demise. He sealed trihexa, Ddraig and Albion, beings that could kick other Gods asses and managed to fight in three way war.

Wow. Late comer to the party but finishing the first volume, this was actually amazing.

In all honesty, I'm starting to detest a lot of the LNs I come across to because of its harem aspects, but this one didn't even have a 'main heroine' in the first volume. I thought the title 'Paladin' was just in name, but Will is an honest to goodness DnD Paladin. Sure he has some Wizard multiclass due to Gus, but his training and coming of age is pretty much textbook Paladin backstory. And the isekai aspects actually tie in to the story and his major coming of age decision as well, so props to that. For once I am not rolling my eyes it's an isekai, which admittedly is the other thing that made me hesitant to pick this up.

As a Paladin type player and this being much closer to the western fantasy fiction I'm more familiar with, this is right up my alley.
