I wonder when the neighboring Kingdoms will stop underestimating the "monsters".
The MC is building himself a giant otherworlder army, making alliances with human territories and increasing his influence, but all those dumb Nobles keep thinking he's just crazy...
There's even mercenaries that are starting to doubt the "slaves" are just beasts.

And the MC keeps getting even stronger, learning magic and martial arts from the other species...

I really don't understand this shit mentality...
"I was beaten when I was a boy, I now have PTSD, I will make it a family legacy by beating my kid too"
"I lost my parents in a terrorist explosion, so I'm now a mad bomber"
"Losing my sister to bandits fucked me up, so I'm now a highwayman"

I was going to say, are there people dumb enough to be like this... but I know there are, and lots of them...

That has to be one of the best "first" post I've seen.

This could get kinda interesting. This chapter shows that the tower itself has limitations within the system, meaning it didn't create the system.
Don't get me wrong, it's still an OP power fantasy with just passable writing, OK art style and cringy chuuni designs, but it could actually become something a bit more, I think.

I don't think all orthodox martial artists are bad in this story. The orthodox faction is fundamentally good, but the ones that keep opening their big mouths are just corrupted.
I rarely see one of those three factions being all bad, in any story. They just have different principles, righteousness and traditions for the orthodox, survival and strength in the individual for the unorthodox and religious beliefs and strength of the many for the demonic.

There's corrupted people that don't adhere to the principle of their own factions, but all three factions have deep rooted disagreements on most things, which breeds conflicts, and it's easier to kill someone you've deemed evil, even if it isn't 100% the truth.
So they see the orthodox as prideful and fake, the unorthodox as bandits and cowards and the demonic as crazy cultists.

We didn't see it happen, really... but after years of being married to that dude, she's probably the first muscle mommy in Korean History.

Man, this series is just crazy.
The dialogue and calm moments are way more intense that the most hype battles in other stories...

But it'd be vigilant to keep them on me...

Man, the more I read this, the more I'm convinced that the story would be better from the point of view of the Aesirs...
I mean, they actually make plans and execute them, they aren't running around like a headless chicken using Deus Ex to get out of trouble non stop.
Yeah, they keep losing in the end, but that because the MC's plot armor seems to be an alloy of Vibranium and Adamantium...

On the other side, every "good guy" in this story seems to be either dumb as bricks or completely useless...

Reaper Scans was dissolved because of a cease and desist from Kakao, the original publisher of many of their series.
So yeah, it's a new translation team, as the old one is dead.

The "new" team is "Demonic Scanlations", they do more literal translation with as less interpretation as possible. They are usually quite good, tho.

They pretty much took up all the Reaper Scans series, so get used to them ;)

I'm pretty sure Theodore dying would plunge his domain into Chaos, as he is the last descendant alive of the rulers of the domain.
His domain is fairly powerful, so this would have considerably weakened the power of the Kingdom in general, opening the way for other nations to try a take chunks of it, or maybe even some of its territories would try to go independent.
Not killing him and puppeteering him would be more beneficial. They keep him in check with the rifts opening, he stays in power, the Kingdom stays strong, the Everett family keeps control of the Kingdom in its shadows.

I think the reason they didn't kill him is pretty much the same reason Lily deduced why they removed his memories...

Wait a second, why is everybody considering the ceasefire as official...
If I'm not mistaken, a ceasefire is an agreement of BOTH parties to momentarily pause the war... not one unilaterally choosing to do so...

That seems like a mistake by the author to me... maybe I'll be proven wrong in the next chapters, but if Dmitri decides to continue the conflict, and everybody accuses them of unfair warfare, that would be pretty shit writing.

Oh, no Elf.
I really though that he would at least inform her, even if he doesn't plan to recruit her. Especially because he still needs another ranged attacker...

Is there a reason why he wants the team to be exactly 5 people? It might have been explained and I just forgot...

OK, this can't be a coincidence.
That's totally a reference to Monthy Python and The Holy Grail.

I was half-expecting sir Yappee to monologue something like
"Demons burn, what else burns... Wood burns... what does wood do too... Wood floats, what else floats... DUCKS!"
"If they weight more than a duck, they are Demons!"

Thanks... now, if he is NOT called Hans, I'll be disappointed.

No, I actually think they meant zombies.
In the following chapters, they show something in putrefaction, mindless and desiring flesh.
Jiangshi don't rot, and they don't eat either. So I'm pretty sure the translation is right.

Wait... was the reveal that Lupiter was the son of Chronos and Gaia supposed to be a surprise?
Like, the author treated this chapter like some big "WOW" reveal for something so obvious?

I'm beginning to doubt the writing skills of this author.
Also, this chapter's background seem awfully... convenient for the artist...

That's it for me.
This story was getting dumber and dumber, but the MC just did what I hate the most.
Being all confident with words like "I will squash you like a bug" or "I have no need for a worm like you" or whatever...
And then spending the rest of the time being surprised by everything "How is he so fast! How is he so strong! Kugh! I cannot win this!"

So fucking stupid.
There's only 2 good reason to make a MC arrogant.
1. To humble him by making him learn his lesson ONCE, not every arc.
2. Because he is actually OP as fuck for real.
And this shit ain't it.
So, Like Snoop Dee Oh Double Gee would say, Imma drop it like it's hot.

Funny.
The old dude that has all the power, money and influence one could wish for is jealous of the poor granddad, who still has to work to survive, lost his kid just got his grandkid back after years missing.
Just because one can have fancy but cold cold meals, and the other has simple but cozy and warm meals.

Oh?
Maybe finally an actual master, someone that is just better than the MC who could teach him, that could be fun.
