It's just weird how often I'll see a series specifically bring up black companies and cruel business practices and then have a main character just go buy slaves the moment they get reincarnated or sent back in time or whatever with very little judgment on the fact that they are owning slaves and doing business with a slave trader, like it's fiction they don't even need to have slavery there at all (not to say writers can't have slavery in their stories just that a lot of these writers don't justify slavery existing in their stories either with quality of writing or proper world building) . I wouldn't even mind if that would happen in more series that are supposed to have moral grays but it just happens so often in these shallow wish fulfillment series that it makes me... kind of concerned, honestly.

Him not putting anything into intelligence finally bit him in the ass haha.

They're either massive racists, slaves, sex objects or nearly (or outright) extinct. there seems to be very little inbetween. I guess except for that series about the elf that just likes eating food.

It's what they read in the latrines, along side Dr Stone. Right before watching Deep Impact, The Rock , Rock of Ages, The 33, or Forest Gump (which has nothing to do with rock and stone they just admire his moxie) ROCK AND STONE BROTHER

If I had a nickel for every time I read a series and elves were inexplicably (mostly) incredibly racist, I would be like $3 richer.

This feels like it was written by a teenager that watches too much porn....but in a good way? I like it harnesses the comedic potential of that viewpoint so it's like a world where the adults are like as horny as 16 yr olds but as bad at relations as 12 yr olds but outside of that are responsible adults, like the whole situation becomes even funnier if you picture every single character as the main character of the movie Big thinking they're just nailing this adult thing.

This feels like one of those times where the translator should have explained the pun in the margins, cuz without knowing bread and panties are similar words in Japanese the conclusion she Drew is near incomprehensible.

I love that every extra in this series is an insane person.

Probably an alternate translation of(or purposeful deviation from) wudang, which in murim stories is usually the group renowned for taiji techniques.

This is the most aggressively depressing yet optimistic series, it manages to be much darker than some series, while keeping a stone of optimism at it's core. It manages to make me really appreciate just the little victories no matter how bitter Sweet. Nevermore have I wanted a cast of characters to be put into a brighter series than this - none of them deserve this cruel world, 10/10 if only it would update.

This image is off putting in a truly visceral way. Good job!

Yep

She was showing kindness and concern... so he immediately asked if it was actually "altia, right" and not Hollian, basically implying that she was being too nice to be Altia.

I love that he keeps accidentally bumming them out but just casually saying s*** that comes across really sad.

the spelling they seem to have been aiming for was "restuarant" (with one typo that was only one letter deviation and one complete misspelling.) and based on dialect one may end up saying the word with a pronunciation similar to this spelling, additionally if you don't see the word often you might not notice that it looks wrong. Either that or they didn't have autocorrect or refused to use it.

I think it's because they keep the fights more grounded so the unpredictability has to come from actual techniques and skill, In Baki if something's unpredictable it's because the character is way more bullshit than you thought possible - like it won't be "I mastered this incredibly hard technique, allowing me to beat you!" It will be "I mastered this magic super technique, also I can control every individual muscle Fiber In my body, also I trained my Teeth, also my glutes are so hard I can break a sword with my ass, Jeff over there knows how to use photosynthesis!... Anyway I win." Like kengan is like a martial arts movie, they stretch-believability with one or two things that are fully ridiculous. Baki is like the imagination of a child that just watched a martial arts movie - it's a fantastic and insane world to live in that is a lot of fun and only becomes more insane the more you look at it. It's like the difference between John Wick and Fast and the Furious.

I swear sometimes the only difference between a barbarian and a paladin is a code of ethics, and I guess willingness to wear shirts. And pants.
