Good EFFING Lord, what a disaster.

Again, what's up with all these "Excellent Premise, but an absolute abortion of an execution" type stories coming out of GLORIOUS NIPPON???

Extremely frustrating read. MC is a hapless NEET with zero sense of self-preservation despite admitting to being a coward from a cowardly family of cowards. Dunno if this is something that Nipponese Otaku readily identify with, which enticed the author of this steaming pile to appeal to those same human failure sinks, or that it's part of this "Japanese Comedy" thing that other peoples... more>> and cultures find extremely repugnant and distasteful.

Perhaps the MC's many failures in both "business" and human (and elf) relations is supposed to be played for comedic effect, or the many unnecessary chapters involving him bragging about his "exploits" to his fellow Nipponese Otaku on the story's fictional version of 2chan are also supposed to be "funny" on some theoretical level, but even with what seems like a solid translation team (translator, editor, and proofreader), this alleged "comedy" fails to cross culture or language barriers.

I mean, it's so bad that TWO different translators have dropped this and J-Novel Club refused to pick up the license for the LN, which is supposed to be an improved version with less "Japanese Comedy."

I must have inadvertently picked up a case of extreme self-hatred to have subjected myself to 57 chapters of this rectal discharge before finally throwing in the towel, just like the two translators and J-Novel Club, but I have to admire the translation team's efforts in keeping up for as long as they did, but maybe they have an "M" streak or something and like punishing themselves. <<less
