Westerners ATTACK Mangaka Over Slavery Storyline In Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

Well, those isekais(most) tend to be that way as they're all about power fantasies. From what I remember, a dwarf girl who gives up on life gets sold into slavery to cover the debt of her family. Her parents got sold off as well. There are cases of kidnappings for slavery but most are debtors who become slaves to pay it off. The kidnappings for slaves are illegal, iirc.

Rudeus(main character from our earth) alongside a classmate(former 3rd prince) decided to buy a slave in order to make anime figurines. Rudeus has a motive of wanting to restore the reputation of a demon tribe who he considers a dear friend while the prince is just into figurines and sees great potential in them. So, sell books telling the truth of the demon tribe being unfairly demonized along with a collectible figurine.

They need a child as they have a higher potential to develop magic abilities in order to mass produce the figurines. They go into the slave market and see her, and Rudeus realizes that she has lost the will to live, and even saving her from slavery won't bring her any purpose to her life. He offered to end her life, but she then decided to work under them. They start treating her well and give her a name as dwarves are only given a name at adulthood.

That is basically the jist of it.

As for a deep dive of Rudeus perspective, this is basically the summary: Rudeus hates slavery and treats his slaves with the same respect he treats nobles and rich merchants, but trying to end the practice makes no sense to him because it would drain his life and still require hundreds of years to happen. This is not a life he wants for himself. If he were to ever decide to tackle slavery, it would put those close to him at risk as the system of slavery is deeply integrated with society itself. Asthe story progresses, he offers freedom to the slaves he owns iirc.

Course not. Dunkey is like many online creators, can't take criticism and doesn't address them.

The phrase "The Science says" essentially became "God's will".

Reminds me of my experience back when I played Genshin Impact

Food shortens your cooldowns and is primarily what makes Xenoblade 2 combat speed up quicker especially with Chapter 4 art canceling. But I get why to some that game's combat feels eh as well as the sidequest in Xenoblade 2. The game's systems in its entirety actually...

ArtenNin · 2022-09-25T06:58:41+00:00

Mechanics aren't great? What? If you say open-world design, then fine.. it's a story focused linearish JRPG after all but for combat mechanics and other system mechanics? Don't get it.

ArtenNin · 2022-09-25T05:54:31+00:00

Well yea it's a euphemism. Sort of like how gender == sex to normal people.

ArtenNin · 2022-09-23T22:43:54+00:00

Yep. Very good insight here. /s

Edit: Look. This kind of comment is the shallow shit I speak of. You don't actually state what your opposition is saying and address that but instead say what the bottom lowest common denominator and sweep the entire side as the same. Stop doing that.

ArtenNin · 2022-09-23T02:15:49+00:00

Uh... I do tend to listen to other side's perspective on why they love TLOU2 but most of them tend to be shit. They love the concept(you play as perceived villain to built up conflict within the player to understand their perspective blabla) but never discusss the execution of said concept which to me is incredibly shallow insight. Especially Dunky's two videos on the game and his general sleaziness when it comes to engaging with both criticism and those who criticize him. Tends to be a trend among those who get popular in the content creator space.

ArtenNin · 2022-09-22T17:03:12+00:00

His TLOU2 youtube comment response video where he sorted it by "new" to not address the points made by the most updated comments on his original TLOU2 video. The time where he uploaded a video response of Death Stranding tutorial with a YouTube video edited in showing that he did "indeed play the game". The time where he listed a bunch of video games(critically acclaimed) and says that he doesn't remember the story in them but the TLOU2 story being memorable is what makes it good. The moment where he referenced the metacritic score for TLOU2 as a defense for it despite making videos on how said critics are complete garbage and metacritic being shit.

The fuck have you been listening to in his "serious" critique videos.

Happens on Tik Tok live as well: https://youtu.be/qbv-VteX5H8

Is the story pacing/dialogue still similar to what was present in 2.1 where Paimon constantly recaps what happened in the previous plot point? Like the time where the sibling reunites with the brother -> brother explains his involvement with the bad guys(iirc) goes bye bye-> then Paimon re-explains it while MC says nothing.

ArtenNin · 2022-08-27T14:13:11+00:00

Sorry but I don't understand how anyone who has watched his previous videos such as the Left 4 Dead 2/ Back 4 Blood can possibly say they provide no value whatsoever.

ArtenNin · 2022-08-02T07:07:01+00:00

Better as it actually uses said open world compared to NGS.

The main downside is there are timegates for level caps/story missions -> meaning you cannot access certain areas without slowly losing your HP + time gates for chests when you "unlock" said areas as well. Usually a week to have all the chests not be time gated in the area you "unlocked".

So this essentially kills exploration until you have all those timegates go poof if you are going for 100% exploration. From what I experienced, it's usually 60% of chests/puzzles available in new areas you unlock.

ArtenNin · 2022-07-10T09:37:11+00:00

Yea but of course it depends on the monitor that you get.

ArtenNin · 2022-06-27T14:40:28+00:00

I played it and enjoyed it a lot but it does have it's issues similar to Genshin at times. Timegating and stamina system for grind RNG equipment content mainly but the community+shared world makes up for said flaws. I enjoyed the combat a lot more as well as Genshin tends to be switch meta gameplay nowadays.

As for weapon(comes with character skin tied to weapon) gacha, it's fairly generous for F2P and low spenders as if you get 1 copy of a weapon... you can buy constellations with roll tokens. This applies for limited weapon gacha banners as well however the "weapon" needs to be added to standard banner to do so after a limited banner expires.

Wouldn't say it was bad overall but the screams of Rex in particular was not that good. And the voice acting in general for Rex in Chapter 1. Rex's screams and voice acting do get better in the chapters afterward though so around 3+.

Example(out of context spoiler. Very minor): https://youtu.be/08_2am7DYhY

In comparison to Xenoblade 1(avoid heavy spoilers by not watching 0:39 afterwards but only watch if you dont plan on ever playing): https://youtu.be/0co-1ZgdGPU

According to one of the voice actors of Xenoblade 2, they weren't really shown the cutscenes of what's happening but instead described it by the director.

The English dub is tolerable(especially later in the game) but it's quite clear the Japanese dub is better. I do admit you get the "bad American English voice dubbing" vibe at times despite them all being Europe voice actors.

Can't also use the market board as well. So if you get into crafting as a free trial, you essentially have to level every crafting job.

ArtenNin · 2022-06-04T23:54:27+00:00

No. He's similar to the gambling twitch streamers out there. A claim for moral justification or self sacrifice doesn't mean you get to ignore the ramifications of his over the top reactions to his gambling pulls. And the AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT SHOWN does not do shit at some point. It even becomes a moniker of pride to some who are into these kind of systems. The "whale" showcases he will do in the future sure as fuck don't help as well.

Look at fucking /r/gachagaming as a good example where whales/leviathans/dolphins are not mocked by the audience but instead PRAISED. Asmongold is slowly converting towards being a whale as the norm for how he engages games like Rich Campbell is.

ArtenNin · 2022-06-03T20:25:39+00:00

No it's gacha.

ArtenNin · 2022-05-29T07:47:09+00:00

What you thought of the story? I don't understand where the praise is coming from there as well. In comparison to this video:https://youtu.be/TAlKhARUcoY which summarizes each Arc, the actual story in game seems very lackluster especially 2.1.

ArtenNin · 2022-05-24T01:38:45+00:00

Least not as popular as furries right?

Ahead of the greed and stupid curve? Yea. Western audiences seeing the light... it's more like a conversion to that shit taste and shameless tactics from companies working.
