LOL @ the prologue.

Its a flashback to one year ago when Altar was threatened by King Ghidorah, a Super Unique Boss Monster:

Spoiler:

Altar got its ass kicked.

A raid of masters from Altar got their ass kicked.

Shu, Figaro and Tsukuyo went next. It boils down to:

Figaro: I got this, hold my beer. *dies and takes out a head*

Tsukuyo: *Lunar Society zerg rush* *total wipe and takes out a head*

Destroying two heads triggers King Ghidorah's super-mode.

Shu: Bring it

The next paragraph says that King Ghidorah's dead, and in the aftermath, they had to re-draw the map.

Shu's sure live up to his job

About Tsukuyo Fuso

Spoiler:

Her Embryo is Kaguya, and is related to the moon. She can reduce anything she wants to 1/6th, stats, damage, oxygen, heart rate, gravity, etc.

Nemesis is actually her complete counter, but she's too weak at the moment to affect a Superior Embryo.

She had Ray kidnapped and really wants him to join her guild, and isn't taking no for an answer.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

I'm curious if she can reduce level, too xD
If that the case, then she actually can kill all player with level 600 or below using Gloria β, right?

[AFKBORED]

Anyone has illustratios for v6?

[Village Idiot]

Well, ****

Spoiler:

Tsukuyo's a college student, heavily implied to be one of Ray's schoolmates and runs the gaming club that Ray is interested in.

Its being translated atm by J-Novel Club.

There was a free two week subscription a week or so ago (not sure if its still valid) and Dendro 1-6 are available for reading atm until end of March, you can read the entire series if you want.

[Rinvelt]

Two weeks ago my SSD died, so I decided to read the 5 translated volumes of Dendro while waiting for the new one. And, in short, I liked it more than I thought I would.

Anyway, since then I was hesitating between reading the WN or just read the translated LN. Then things happened and I started by reading from the Episode Superior I, then volume 6 of the LN in Japanese, and finally finishing the Chapter 4 of the story with the WN.
Main reason being: I can skim through narrative I deem not too important while reading the WN, then read it normally when it'll be translated in English by JNC.

So yeah, now I have 200 chapters to read if I want to catch up.

Other than that, I was a little fearful about the Third Form/skill of Nemesis because a previous post said it wasn't as good as the other forms/skills, but I find it pretty nice (though yeah, not as handy as the other two)

Anyway, I have a question for those who read prebup, as I think it should be far enough to answer it:

Spoiler for Not really spoiler for vol 6:

How did JNC handle BBB's name? Beethl(e)y? And if they did, how did they make the comparison Beethl(e)y (b-three) and BBB when it's mentionned? (they use furigana in Japanese, so easy, but dunno about English).

And there'll be something worse to translate in Volume 7...

Though yeah, not their fault. It's like for Hugo. JNC used Yuri because they couldn't use two names, obviously. But Yuri is a man name and not used for girls in France. The thing, though, is that the Katakana transcription of the name could also be something like Julie, which is a girl name. It works perfectly in Japanese, but not so much in English because of the alphabet.

They translated it as B3

[Rinvelt]

^I see. Well I guess it's the most logical way.

Thanks for the answer.

[Village Idiot]

They actually use both B3 and BBB.

[Rinvelt]

^Normal, because both ビースリー and BBB are used in Japanese. The thing, though, is that until BBB is mentioned you don't actually know the meaning of ビースリー is B3. (you just think it's a shortened version of her name)
That's why I wondered how it was handled in the translation.

^Could you spoil me about Nemesis' third form?

Spoiler for third form:

Nemesis' third form has two different modes. Form α is a shield called Black Circle that lets him use Counter Absorption. Form β is a giant bladed windmill, kind of like a Fuuma Shuriken from Naruto, called Shooting Wheel. It has a skill called Payback Overstar, which is a long distance version of Vengeance is Mine with homing capabilities. The distance and speed of the Shooting Wheel depends on how much damage Ray recieves from the taret, and it deals 3 times that value as direct damage. It can only be used once a day though.

[Rinvelt]

Chapter 5 done. Phew, so much plot.

Also, like previously mentioned by Kunagisa, the main girl in chapter 5 gets so many HP and good scenes with Ray that I just want her to be the end girl. Do something Nemesis!

Won't be a harem, which is a good thing, but at least don't make such a good girl fall for him. >.>
Would have been perfect if it was just friendship and trust between partners, but then there was that line about him being engraved in her heart...

Well, should still be salvageable, considering that they won't interact that much with each other starting from the next chapter.

You should keep trucking along. Finish Episode Outlaw then go read Glory Select.E.R., which is still the best arc so far.

Speaking of plot, the latest arc explained the "endgame", but left more questions than answers because that's not the true endgame. I have no idea how the author's incorporate all these into bunko format because this is all happening without the MC around ... again. This arc ended up a lot more interesting than I thought though. The new revelations are cool and giving more clues regarding if the game is another world, but the diction choice is vague enough that you can interpret this as the exact opposite as well.

Top bait author-san, top bait.

[Rinvelt]

To be honest I lose my motivation when it changes to 3rd POV. I love first POV because it's unique to each character.
Just finished first chapter of Outlaw. At first I was meh, then it changed to Gerbera POV and I was Yeah o/. (really like her POV, her digressions are fun to read)

So yeah, I think I'm going to read Superior III slowly unless it's really engaging and smooth to read.
