Cute!

I admit, it was fun to see the little lizard make the exact same mistake the heroes made about him. Can't they just agree that they both can be whatever they want, though...?

I mean, even if they agreed, he's still a villain, they are still contractually obligated to punch each other in the face.

Okay, this is shaping up to be my favorite arc so far, it's just so entertaining.

Okay, that was way more enjoyable than I thought it would be. I hope rest get translated fast.

Why doesn’t this have the polyamory tag? I get that on the surface it’s just sex, but isn’t it clearly a bit more than that at this point?

It only count if they're actually in a relationship, and while they clearly have feelings for each other, they haven't started one.

Personally I agree that in this particular case, the whole gender hiding situation is not meant to be malicious and it's just comedy.

Comedy can be bad you know

Yeah, but comedy is also one of the most subjective form of entertainment.

^ Same, but if I have to choose, then I prefer Robin as the parent, because the story flow much better that way.

Too sweet... need insulin...

^ I think there is a group that are currently working on an english patch for the third game.

Certainly looks like if the mangaka doesn't draw cute schoolgirls with jerk shots of their flipped skirts, then her story doesn't have future. The old school we really need from a Todakoro, making stories of some hard guys with guns on Cowboy Bebop style. But no! Let's keep publish isekai, school-life cheap romances and ecchi-harems till you hate them!

That's how the market goes, why complain?

Why is it a problem to complain about the market pandering to desperate guys and pretending everyone else doesn't exist? There's a reason so many people consider isekai and ecchi/harem crap to be total garbage. It's because they're awful on an objective level and only sell well because of all the desperate guys out there.

Konosuba and shield hero aren't awful.

Konosuba isn't, Shield hero definitely is.

^ Honestly, I don't see where they could go with a direct sequel. They pretty much tied all loose ends in the game.

Also, give Swordcraft Story 2 a try. While overall I liked the first one better, I think the second is still, and Dinah is just as fun as Sugar imo.

^ There are two sequels.

We have two cute guys so now we can ship them together

Oh, yes! We can finally ship Stardust and Century!

Damn it, Teru! You and your gender stereotype put this whole mission in jeopardy!

Seriously though, I'm really liking Thumping so far.

^ I'm honestly surprised, considering that this is one of the few ships that have any roots in the games.

@AngryYuriguy Are you real?

@AngryYuriguy Going by your name I want to say this is parody, but this is the internet, so there is a big chance you aren't.

Gah, why does this to be monthly, the wait is killing me.

"We'll continue this when we return"

Okay, if they don't actually continue this later on, then I'll... um, leave a very angry comment!

Actually it did cover five chapters of the WN. Rei waking up and first encountering Claire was chapter one. The discussion with Misha was chapter 2. Claire performing the various acts of bullying and being countered was chapter 3. The scene with the princes was chapters four and five.

But that mean the chapters of the WN are actually short or did the manga compact it ? Also don't wanna be rude but if the chapters are actually that short (in the WN) then how did it manage to developp both story and characters ? Did the chapters are longer after ? I mean, i'm gonna compare with the only example i had which is Ada and Shima but the LN chapters are actually fairly and skip some part, if not some chapters. So hearing that 5 chapters get squeezed in 35 chapters, i feared a little bit.

They skipped a few stuff that explain how the world work that could be explained later, and there are some scenes that they combined together so it can flow better as one chapter. Like, they pretty much removed the second half of chapter 4 and the first half of chapter 5 and stitched what remained together.

As an MC, Bakarina is infinitely better than Rei (thankfully manga Rei has more personality than novel Rei).

Ehh, I honestly disagree. I feel Bakarina get more and more boring as the story goes on, while Rei gets better and better.

It’s okay to disagree! It opens up more room for discussion. I found Rei to be a rather bland, empty shell of a character. In my opinion, her not so defined personality is good for allowing the reader to insert themselves into the character. But I personally enjoy characters with strongly defined personalities, such as Bakarina. Why do you feel that Rei gets better as the story progresses? Do you think Rei experiences any character growth and how?

Did we read the same thing? Like, I don't see how in any way, shape, or form is Rei bland, empty shell, or a self insert. In matter of fact, I'm pretty sure most people complaint about her in both WN and Manga is that her personality is too much for them, I wouldn't call that bland exactly.

As for the comparison with Bakarina, for me after the first few episodes she is pretty much just become a nice, dense, idiot who can't take a hint. Rei on the other hand is like @Hylarn said a sadomasochistic goofball who is more cunning than she seems, and as the series goes on we actually learn why she is that way.

You know, as much as I like the black uniform, I think I like Hakuno in this outfit more... It just add to her squirreliness.

Gah, I really hope it doesn't take long for the manga to get translated.
