I might as well put this site here for everyone at this point.
https://mangamtl.com/im-really-not-the-demon-gods-lackey/im-really-not-the-demon-gods-lackey-chapter-120/
It is a site that uses MTL or GPT to translate mangas or manhuas; mostly manhuas
It ain't pretty but it has no censorship atleast.
You can select which language you want to translate the story into at the top.
Apparently it is a website with loads of intrusive ads, so make sure you have an adblock

Pretty boring by my standards, although the villain is pretty sub-standard, the other characters have nothing special to them like almost all other Isekai. It might as well be another Point A to Point B Isekai

Incredibly convenient Villain, Incredibly convenient coincidences that let the protagonist live, Incredibly convenient side-characters who are surprisingly supportive of the protagonist on first meeting. Makes the former main /secret main lead of the otome game fall in love with her fairly quickly for whatever reason
Demons are good, humans are bad.

Another story with no real substance that differentiate it from others, like a villain that have compelling reason, or the story having a mix of both good and bad from the humans and demons, or an intriguing political landscape. Just like almost all other Isekais I have read

Oh, it is the translators? That is fucking stupid, what's the point of censoring when everyone who will be reading this are adults or teens at best on a pirate site? I thought it was from the author's themselves which is forgivable but translators? Not so much.

Now, I understand why they asked people who are reading their translation to donate to them instead of directly to the author now.
Selfish fucking hypocrites, the lot of them

Well, at the start of the novel or manga sometime after some chapters, it is the empire that lost, we did see some journalist interviewing some folks to learn about Tanya some long chapters ago.

Why is it that the story always have to make things convenient for the Villains to pull this off in the city street?

The adaptation from novel into manga is alright I suppose. Missing a few pieces here and there but being able to see a visual representation is good enough for me

You're absolutely right about, but just because he was dealt a bad hand in life doesn't excuse those creepy behaviors. If those can be excused because he was dealt a bad hand, then a lot of those cases can be applied to criminals and juvenile kids in detention in real life, and that wouldn't be good. The only reason we end up liking Denji is because we could literally read his life story and understand where those behavior comes from.

Liking a character or a person doesn't mean those bad parts or flaws should be ignored and pretend that it doesn't effect the people around them. Besides, the people Denji is surrounded with is extraordinary, so his flaws or behavior issues that would become a problem in a normal situation wouldn't get the chance to shine much in such extraordinary circumstances. but it made for exciting storytelling and characterization.

Honestly, your line of reasoning for Denji seems similar to people on the internet saying that Makima isn't "Evil" since she just made due with what was given to her, I mean sure, her circumstances shaped her into the Control Devil that we know of in the manga until her rebirth but how does that excuse her previous incarnation's actions? Yet despite being evil, people like her anyway, and people like Denji despite exhibiting creepy behaviors a couple of times.

Despite his flaws, I like him anyway

So, she's basically a hybrid, something that think of itself as human but is half-dead and half-alive?

Hm, I'm bored already. The storyline is getting too shallow, it move fast but it is just a river that you can dip your toes into and it wouldn't get past your ankles

Hey, that's still a spoiler for any new folks coming in

It is still a spoiler by the way. Although it is an implicit spoiler rather than an explicit one, because you are still explaining how the story will go, thereby spoiling the plot by allowing people reading your comment to predict future chapters more accurately

What kind of personality is this MC supposed to be again? Submissive, Assertive, Creepy, Simp, Perverted?
And that conversation, what the hell is happening in it? This is like the third time that it been "Shoehorned" in just to get the plot going. There's that one time he goes out in his birthday suit, to get spotted by the chubby girl, and the other one where he for whatever reason decided to be Assertive for no fucking reason despite being submissive the whole time by flirting with the pirate captain when he saw how submissive her real personality is. Instead of sympathizing or respecting her boundaries, HE CROSSES IT and sexually harassed her then it was glazed over like nothing happened in the next few pages, apparently, if he saw a girl shaving her armpits he would totally stay and look at her shaving her armpits so he just shave his beard in front of the pirate girl who is distressed or embarrassed to look at him shaving despite her asking for him to stop shaving in front of her and he found her reactions funny?
Now, that is fine, I understand that it is a manga and it would be funny if it happened fictionally whether it be man or women, but pick at least 1 core personality trait and stick to it and so it wouldn't be that infuriating, but seeing the MC flip-flopping around is not enjoyable for me.
Then there's that alcohol scene, for a salary man who worked in a black company, he's super weak to alcohol for whatever reason, surely the company or co-worker invited him out to drink a few times right? If he can't handle his alcohol then he should have been fired instead of working at that place, but "there's not enough info about his past world life so that get a pass" over my dead body. The more you think about that alcohol scene, the less sense it makes, because why would a salary man who seems to have no friends, and implied shitty co-workers and boss, and worked in a black company, not rely on alcohol for stress relief? If it is not alcohol then what did he rely on for stress relief before coming to this? Looking at thin books? Cause it don't look like it since he didn't make any reference to thin books or adultery, but he does have some knowledge of how sex works or has some level of sex ed in his head. Oh, maybe he was an exhibitionistic freak since he gone out in his birthday suit in that one chapter? Doesn't seem like he really did it for stress relief back in the original world and he didn't get fired so it mustn't be that right?
He didn't miss the modern games, he didn't miss the convenience of internet, and he didn't even miss his family from the original world, so what sort of personality he should have? Fucking blank until the author makes up whatever bullshit he wants?
The girls he makes are interesting and somewhat likeable too and I enjoyed their interactions between each other when their personality is consistent, except for the MC who seems to break his consistency every now and then

The MC is basically a Denji from Chainsaw man, except that he has common sense, not that simp-ish and not as creepy, and is somewhat? of a functional human being in human society. He also get girls.

I really liked how the beginning started off, it has a lot of depth that I had to spent a lot of time reading a page and comprehending it, I really liked how the romances are setup.
Unfortunately, since it has a comedy tag a lot of those depth in later chapters got swallowed by characters that has interesting personality "Quirks" and "Aspects" that I didn't need to spend a lot of time to comprehend the pages.

I would recommend this manga if you have a lot of time to spend on your hand, but if you don't got the time, then it won't be enjoyable. It's like eating a bar of black chocolate with a 80% cacao content, enjoyable if savored but awful if rushed

Well, the translator seems to be more of an amateur hobbyist, so this might be the only update we'll all ever get until he decide to translate it again or another translator pick it up

They just caught a lolicon spirit in the previous chapter? I swear, if it is a Deus Ex Machina to move the plot along, I'm gonna be pissed

Huh, the translators are redoing the chapters? I wonder what happened to cause that? What is page 26 talking about; the page above the 26?

Oh... I expected a more silly outcome or conclusion but looks like it narrowed down to it being "I was secretly working to get a gift". Not that there's anything wrong with it. I expected the misunderstanding to last until he show up with a gift in his hand, but this plotline works too I guess.

The background is still inconsistent, the manga author looks like it has some quality control problems either with themselves or the assistants. The characters can be as pretty as the author want but if the background's quality is inconsistent or has lots of empty backgrounds, it will just ruin the experience. It really need more time to polish itself, either their editors are not allowing time extension or the author is not managing it well enough
