Sorry, but rules of this forum are prohibiting me from answering you. I already burned once on this issue. So I just say, that chinese scans are out. Maybe it will help you.

Hopefully the upcoming chapters deliver more story and plot.

Actually this chapter delivered exactly same as second chapter of Kimi wa Midara. Lynn simply keeps main thing for later. And I don't mind it. I'm already pretty sure that we will get everything eventually. And having some trumps for leveling up is not bad thing.

[AB079]

^Of course isn't bad having these kind of developments this early when every other random MC would never do something like what happened in ch2, but the thing is you're incredibly hyped or maybe just a huge Lynn fan? because this is nothing out of this world especially these days where any author throws sexual intercouse scenes between the characters like candy.

Lol at that reaction of the paladin at the end of the chapter, hiding in that tree wasn't a really good idea when the MC could see everything down there. Something weird that I noticed is on some parts Rumi lost consciousness (or maybe is just the pleasure?), maybe something related to losing control of her own lust?

Anyway, I'm really expecting somethign better than Gokukoku, hopefully Lynn delivers.

On a side note, maybe... just maybe... someone is picking this up for translations. For now the only translations out there are in spanish.

[coded321]

isn't this just straight up hentai? also ntr in a world filled with only women? i'm not going to lie, having your girl ntr'ed by another girl is strangely interesting

[AB079]

@coded321 Hardcore material that is even closer to be straight porn is published as something for all ages, this is indeed something with heavy NSFW content but is not that close to be called "hentai".

NTR? what are you talking about, seriously.

[coded321]

didn't you just mention on one of your previous posts that the latest chp had a huge ntr flag?

Read again, that was Kimi wa midara.

Are you joking? Because if you are serious, then we both live in very different eras. While I admit, that I truly am huge Lynn's fan, my hype here comes from entirely different reason. That reason is, that turn of events in this chapter completely exceeded any my wildest expectation. Although I hoped for this going Kimi wa Midara route, I still expected MC to be little resisting temptation and somehow turn heroine down, for now. After all even Saito from Kimi wa Midara was reluctant at first.

That isn't just bad. That's incredibly refreshing change. Having protagonist, that don't just accept sexual propose, but actually is able to do it, is something that essentially NEVER happens in regular mangas in these days. Especially in young adult magazine. Even in mangas with some borderline action, protagonist must be usually forced to take any action, either by other characters or "act of god". Thus after chapter 2 I'm not afraid anymore that we will get just another World End's Harem. Having this kind of protagonist in this kind of story promises a lot of fun and "fun" and I looking forward for it.

Weekly Young Magazine is not all age, but rather 15+. But still is truth that content of this chapter is something which more likely would be usually published in full adult magazine. How Linn overcame traditional boundaries of rating amazes me.

How many manga/LN do you read? because that's not even rare or "refreshing", is something common these days.

Please not another Worlds Ends Harem, that manga is pure garbage and Lynn is much better than that.

And again, there is a ton of stuff that is still published for everyone when it should be something that deserves being under a +18 Label, try checking Shinmai Maou (both LN and manga adaptation) or Magika, or even Adam in Puberty so you can see what's really impressive in terms of adult content (this last one is officially +18 tho).

Not at all. Again I repeat that it was this turn of events which I NEVER expected, even in wildest dreams.

I read lot of things, but I never seen protagonist that is this level of lawful Alpha. And even if there was some, he never got chance to do anything particular. At least not in Young Adult targered manga. Usually we got just strong Betas that have nearly celibatic tendencies, or perverts that are constantly cockbloked by everyone and everything, or various combinations of both. I already started believing that this are natural boundaries for this demographic level. As even in manga which was solely focused on main character having sex with girls, protagonist was again guy which was afraid of comunication with girls and whole sex scenes were portrayed most modestly as possible.
But what Lynn demonstrated in this chapter is something that I so far seen just in Adult mangas, or straight Hentai doujins. That guy simply surprised me again.
Which just leads me to actual question, which is "What kind of mangas YOU are reading?"

I just look at it out of curiosity, when I heard that it's premise was similar to Parallel Paradise. It was before chapter 2 was released. I was sure immediately that Lynn won't go same route, but I never imagined, that he would choose straight opposite.

I read Shinmai Maou manga, and so far everything are traditional innuendos or purposely ambiguous situations, so nothing unusual. And while I heard that that latest volume of novel finally delivered something that looks like actual sex scene, I strongly doubt that manga version will not tone it down. Even actual illustration of said scene in Novel was pretty moderate.
Regarding Adam in Puberty, that's as you said himself 18+ title. And manga is published in Adult Magazine, so that bad example.
And regarding Magika, I don't read that, so I don't know.

If you read a lot of things and at the same time you never seen a protagonist being this "alpha" in your words then you really don't read many titles especially when you mentioned that these type of scenes are something you only saw in adult mangas or doujins.

I agree on you that Rito-tier MC's are awful and is great to see the authors and editors are finally growing a pair to make their MC's crossing the line.

Oh I don't mean in the sexual topic, Worlds ends harem story is plain shit, despite having some good ecchi.

I am one of the sources of info on Shinmai Maou btw, and I can tell you that we have in that LN entire chapters of hardcore ecchi and the last volume includes one chapter and a half where Basara have sex with one of the members of his harem, with detailed descriptions of everything they did, and they have sex 100 times in just that volume. So again, you're wrong, Parallel Paradise is moderate and nothing out of the common pattern we're seeing these days. You shouldn't talk about something you don't know dude.

Magika, the MC got an orgy with his entire harem with literal descriptions and is still a work that is not considered +18 or published on a +18 label.

Anyways, is better to drop this topic and maybe talk about the story and what can we expect as future developments.

Well, in Young Adult manga I truly never seen anything on this level. If you saying that there are, then I would truly like to hear examples. And again, I saying Young Adult examples.
In Adult mangas I truly already seen various protagonist that could be called Alpha and have no problem f*cking girls, so it's not really issue here, but in Young Adult mangas, it's very rare. Either protagonist is beta, or whole thing is just about innuendos and "accidents".

Hardcore ecchi is nice but still it's just ecchi. That's nothing surprising and I already said that manga version so far was just traditional innuendos and ambiguity. Even if novel has later full detailed sex scene, then it doesn't matter as long we don't see that in manga as well. For now I just expect, that once manga reaches that point, whole thing will be significantly toned down.

So far you don't showed my single thing, that proves that I'm really wrong.

Well, this could be your chance, since I never seen that. Could you post me some reference for that? I will find out, whether this is real thing, or just another bad example.

I agree. This manga don't deserve having tread filled with sh*tstorm of two big mouths.

Now you're backpedaling and reducing the discussion to Young Adult. That's proving you talk out of nowhere.

Talking about something you have no idea just shows how illiterate you are dude. And no is not just hardcore ecchi, that thing reached the level of straight porn. Also since you have no idea you should know Arashi is finished.

Already did and I can still prove you wrong. But I guess is better for you to keep spamming thread on 4chan on a desperate attempt to get attention from random people.

Or you want me to mention works that have the same level or even more than this?

What about find that yourself? The entire thread is right on this forum.

As advice, do not act like a smartass with someone who knows more than you, and specially about titles you never read a single thing.

Dude, dude, did you even read what I was writing? I talked about Young Adult from beginning.

So please stop bitching about me, if you don't even listening me.

Please stop stop stop. You really don't listening me. I'm talking about manga which I READ, thus I exactly know what I'm talking about. And again I repeat that manga so far contains nothing than innuendos or ambiguities. If there is something more in novels, then it's irrelevant for now since manga so far was relatively harmless in that regard. Once manga shows something from that, it will be different story, since manga is published in Shounen Magazine and that's even stricter level than Young Magazine where Parallel Paradice is published. But for now I strongly doubt that it will happen, just as I doubted about Parallel Paradice before chapter 2. Simply fact, that novel allows that, doesn't mean that same allows also Shounen Magazine in manga. But I'll be happy if I will be wrong.

Go on. I gladly accept any good title, which surprises me just like Parallel Paradise.

WHAT?!

Yes, it would be nice from you.

Thank you.

And I advice to YOU, actually listening what are people actually talking about before you start bitching on them and claiming title of smartest person around.

Anyway with this I absolutely ending this off-topic, since already losed any value for this thread. If you still have anything more to say. Post me reply in PM (above mentioned suggestions for good titles would be really nice ). Anything else I will ignore.
It's time to truly start talk about Parallel Paradise and not our personal issues.

[AB079]

Lets move to PM's that's a better idea.

Now ontopic did you remember the first image of this world? That was something out of a painting I believe, I wonder if the MC was killed... After all he went at full speed from that building.

[ukulelembo]

More suspicious was that woman figure which he saw before he awoke in different word. Essentially there is slight possibility that he is alive, as we never seen him hit the ground.

[Velsy]

On nice, I just read this one earlier today. Here was my take on it

Few first pages, I was getting this chilling feeling. Like its going to be something like Mahou of the end O_O... then hes pushed from a window and wakes up in another world.... k....... Well as he was falling that doll thing turned into a women too. Dont forget that.

I started liking this MC when he started trolling her. but was kinda like, you know she has a sword she can cut you down. Should you be pushing her like that ? And well then something unexpected happen, shes going into heat ? thats the only explanation I can think of from the looks of it. Wait the bird said nothing but women in this world ? k. but then how have they been breeding until now ? That doesnt make sense. Cabbage patches ? flying storks?

Defuq is going in O_o.

[MAX_COLA_POWER!]

Spoiler for ch2:

Well, so far so honest, thankfully she didn't get eaten, just stuck her head inside a tree to scream out of embarrassment I would imagine. Guess Lynn just said F it, who cares about convoluted and over extended stories? Just go straight into the cash cow of H.

[ukulelembo]

Now translation is finally out. Well, I laughed pretty hard whole chapter. Interaction between characters was pretty hilarious and I started liking Youta's character very much. With knowledge of second chapter I can clearly say, that he is exactly type of protagonist, which I missed for many years in those kind of stories. And now I'm very interested to where story goes next. I expect some kind of story exposition in chapter 3, now. It will be definitely needed before we get next any more "fun" antics.

[Velsy]

I am curious to why people are shitting on World Harem End. I only read a bit of it (I'll have to catch up sooner or later), but I thought the MC was a smart guy. He wakes up with a world full of women, but he doesnt think with his dick, why people imply he should ?. Only an idiot or pervert would became a breeding horse and mate with people without knowing whats truly going on. I am sure theres many perverts who would fuck like rabbits in his shoes. but a smart person wouldnt and he has human rights to deny or not be forced if he doesnt want too. Plus he had a girl he liked whos currently missing. Theres no body of hers found yet. So why the comparisons and why name calling like hes some looser ? I mean, I am fine if theres some "romance" leading to sex scenes or love making, but just not fucking everyone like rabbits was his style. And I hoped it wouldnt go that way without any romance.

Spoiler for World Harem end Spoiler:

I got as far to know that feminists killed all the men, so him fucking like a rabbit is playing into their hands So why the hate on him O_o

But being that said.. I wonder if this manga will go down the path of Blade Play O_o thats a "possible" direction and could be comparison then well its kinda too early to tell after all.

It still concerns me that doll thing had blood on it and it turned into a women before he crossed. I gave it some through and could it be an ally wanting his help ? as he crossed before it looked like he hit the ground. Guess it was still too vague to know for now :/ It grabbed his collar, not his neck is why I ponder on this.

There are many problems on various levels with World End's Harem. Perhaps the most significant is fact that whole manga is filled with overplayed clichés that essentially kills any interesting story. MC's character is just one of them.

This is actually harder question than you think. But even if we accepted MC's reasoning and character, it still return us to problem that those "smart" guys like him are already in every second manga and some of them are even better writen.
Furthermore, let's be sincere "sole guy in world of women who need to breed" is obviously ridiculous premise for hentai story. Putting here "smart" guy with nearly celibatic tendencies is completely against concept and obvioust swich and bait. Which just discourage and anger more people, who either expected "more bolder" content or are overfed with switchbaiting from other mangas.

Originally Posted by Velsy

Lust and urge to breed is natural part of instinct for any ordinary man. How much each individual is able to suppress them depends on his will and reasoning. But regardless that, their are still instincts, so anybody would eventually succumbed to them, if temptation was too big.
Problem with those "smart" MCs is that they usually have will from steel and ridiculously "pure" reasoning. And while is possible to say "those kind of guys exist as well", for most of ordinary people is hard to sympathize with them. And even if you accept them there is still THAT fact, that those kind of MCs are in every other manga. So is very tiresome to hear still same lines of denial and renunciation, over and over again. Especially if they are performed so plain and without effort as in World End's Harem.

It's a bit hypocritical call people around you perverts for succumbing their natural urges and instincts. Imagine yourself in same situation as protagonist of World End's Harem and think twice about it. Would you REALLY able to keep your reasoning with so much temptation around?

Problem is that whole manga portray this his decision as utterly selfish. At beginning nobody forces him and even is shown that many women live in poverty with humanity on the brink of extinction. And possibility of them bearing of his children could give them chance for better life. Despite that he still say no, and insists on feelings for his childhood friend. While it can be seen as slightly "romantic" decision. It still leaves bitter taste at whole situation.

If you really want such kind of story, is a little contradictory, that you start reading story with premise as in World End's Harem or Parallel Paradise.

I did not read Blade Play, but personally I expect something like Kimi wa Midara, just in fantasy setting and with more girls. But it's Lynn, there definitely will be some edgy twist.

That "doll think" was visibly person in scarecrow mask. Right now hard to say what "it" appearance supposed to mean beside transferring protagonist to fantasy world. It was obvious setup for upcoming story.
