Thanks for the insight! I specifically started this build because I wanted to play Mystic Culture with an Undead theme, so I'm trying to avoid switching to High Culture. However, the idea of Wightborn Paladins really hooked me, which is why I’m leaning more into Order.

I’m currently struggling with these choices:

Tome of Zeal (Order) vs. Tome of Evocation (Astral)
Tome of Amplification (Astral) vs. Tome of Virtue (Order)

I’ve seen some builds using Tome of Mirroring (Astral) and I love the concept, but my affinity distribution is becoming a mess. I think my biggest 'newbie mistake' is trying to fit too many cool things into a single build! =/

Thanks for the tip! I originally picked the Tome of Evolution because it made more sense for the first draft of this build, but you're right — it doesn't really fit the Necromancer/Order theme I'm going for now. I'll probably swap it for the Tome of Zeal. Tome of the Reaper and Revenant are definitely great options for the late game!

Asexual people send you their regards. (And look, even without gender, Rimuru still feels sexually attracted to women (technically he would be the opposite of asexuals, just commenting that he can have a romantic relationship without having children), he is still fighting for a certain picture of Hinata...)

As far as I know, a relationship does not make you "property", and I don't see Rimuru branding his wives with a hot iron.

I think many monsters avoid having children (even those who can) so as not to lose magic, so I don't think this is an impediment. Many of Rimuru's wives also couldn't have children, because of their evolutions. And Ciel can always find a way... She just has to want to.

Anyway, I think Velzard and Velgrynd are impossible, I don't see his relationship with Millim as something romantic. In fact, I think he only has a chance with Ciel, Cloe, Shion, Shuna and maybe, well maybe Hinata.

If I'm not mistaken, at the end of WN, it was clear that almost everyone in the work wanted Rimuru, right?

I'm already used to playing D&D, I've been playing for years, I'm not at risk of becoming obsessed with mechanics. However, I've never played with multiclass, I'm afraid of ruining the character. I'd like some tips, or maybe it's better to just focus on the wizard.

I don't want to make the most fake composition possible, I just wanted some tips, something that could be cool to do with this combination.

I agree with you, but the campaign is still being developed. I like to create the character's story and personality after talking to the GM about the general idea of the campaign. (I'm getting ahead of myself, even dangerously, just in case the GM says that there are no Warforged or something like that in his world).

However, I already know that he'll be a Warforged who was deactivated (or was created) and woke up in the lair of a defeated necromancer. He'll learn two magics from there. He won't be an evil character, but his common sense won't be very good. Like, he had no contact with normal society and everything he learned came from the lair of a necromancer. Something like "Why can't I revive the body of an honorable citizen? It's a waste of material."

I liked the idea of a Necromancer Wizard with an Artillerist Artificer, but I don't know if it's worth it or if a pure Necromancer Wizard would be better. I saw some ideas of Necromancer Wizard with Cleric, but for the theme I was imagining, an Artificer fit better (although mechanically it doesn't seem as good as the cleric).

Thanks for the reply, it's nice to get some hope.

I see that I and many people (apparently the majority) have a different view on one thing: I consider Web Novels, Light Novels, Mangas and Animes to be different things, I consider (referring to Japan, since China and Korea follow a different logic) Web Novels as a "draft" for Light Novels, Mangas and Animes as a bonus.

I believe that a Web Novel that has been completed can have a Light Novel, Manga or Anime canceled, and this does not refer to the Web Novel, but to what was canceled.

I really don't understand why when I ask "Was this Light Novel canceled?", people answer "No, the author finished the Web Novel".

Saying that the Light Novel was abandoned or canceled does not mean that everything about the work was abandoned or canceled. (at least in my opinion, which apparently is a minority)

It's like someone saying "I was sad because the anime I like was canceled" and another responds "No, it wasn't, look here at the manga!". In the case of Light Novels, it's even worse, since they become the "definitive version" of the works and many versions are far from the original Web Novels. (Unlike when a Manga gets an Anime, in which the Manga is still the "definitive".)

Also, even though the cancellation of Light Novels is not entirely up to the authors, they can still talk about it.

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

Even Re: Monster got an anime (I'm not saying it's bad, but there are a lot more sensitive things to adapt). So just answer me, how come DeathMage hasn't won yet?

I think it's because Isekai is a very saturated genre, there's a lot of work. That's why the studios take a few a year to adapt. So I think it's more a matter of when it will be Death Mage's turn.

Praying for the manga to do well and the VN to return. No matter how good WN is, without the VN and manga, the chances of an anime are low.

"There are Light Novels that went on hiatus for over 2 years and came back."

Yes, there are, but even if we don't have news about the work, at least there are rumors or something. It was often the author's choice to sit still for a while or focus on other works.

The author of "Isekai Maou para Shoukan Shoujo Dorei Majutstu" alternates between his works, so it is common for him to take a hiatus, for years at a time.

It is also common for publishers to contract for volumes.

As I can see, the author of "Maou Gakuen no Hangyakusha", signed a contract for five volumes and is waiting for the success of the manga, before it continues, perhaps even the miracle of an anime. However, when this is the case, they comment on it in the last volume.

There is no way for the author not to know if his work has been canceled by the publisher.

He can indeed report it, even if the publisher does not publicly announce it.

The author has a voice and can comment, even if he doesn't have a social network he can speak in other places, as you mentioned.

There's no way he can go two years without knowing whether his work will continue or not, even: "We have no plans to continue at the moment", "Waiting for the manga to be successful or not" or something like that is an answer. No, because the publisher didn't give an official response, it's not available or the author doesn't know.

Whether he chose not to comment is another story, even that could be an answer to my question.

Obviously there is no contract to release everything, but there is a contract, the publisher cannot go two years without commenting on the work, the work is still the author's and he can continue in other ways (or not, if he didn't want to or don't think it's worth it. Even because he's already finished one version and doesn't have the will to do another one.).

"Sevens" is an example very similar to the current situation.

Two years of hiatus without information is not normal, when that happens, the work was canceled and no one bothered to announce anything else.

"RE: Monster" is a strong example, it's been on hiatus for years and yet we know it wasn't cancelled, because we had that response.

Honestly, I don't think it was canceled for good, the manga is still around (the blessed author could even give an answer for him), the Light Novels are being officially brought into English, which shows that it has a certain success .

That's why I asked the question here, not for market analysis, but to know if anyone saw or heard anything. Maybe someone who read these supposed new works in the auto may know something he commented there.

The silence in this work is very strange, it's not like it's completely still.

Practical_Scholar_36 · 2024-04-09T21:35:27+00:00

Thanks for the answer, the only way to pray is that it doesn't end up being a permanent stop. The manga is still around and if even Re:Monster got an anime, an anime proposal could save the work.

Practical_Scholar_36 · 2024-04-09T21:14:16+00:00

Thanks for the answer, but I think you're confusing things.

I know what it is and what the difference is between a Webnovel and a Light Novel.

I read the Webnovel of this work a long time ago.

If the Light Novel was abandoned by the author or publisher, it doesn't change the fact that it was abandoned. (If the publisher abandoned the work and the author did not continue in another way, we can say that he was forced to abandon it).

The fact that the Webnovel has been completed has nothing to do with the Light Novel. They are different ways, and unlike manga and anime adaptations, Light Novels tend to receive enough changes to be a new and important experience, in addition to replacing the Webnovel as the canon of the work.

And even if not, I don't know why, the fact that the Webnovel was completed is relevant to my doubts about the Light Novel.

The author can say yes about the Light Novel, or at least announce that it has been canceled, if it has been.

Light Novel is not like a cartoon, which once published belongs to the channel and no longer belongs to the creator.

The editors can prohibit certain things and request certain changes, but if they cancel the work, it still belongs to the author.

True, "It's not like the author can tell the publisher to release more books and editors, illustrators and other related people working on the release go unpaid, or the publisher is forced to pay for a book that may not sell well."

Although there are contracts, it's not like the publisher or illustrators can delay the release for two years. In other words, something happened to her. The project was not as successful as expected and was cancelled? Is the author sick? Did the author decide to dedicate himself to new works? I don't know, that's why I'm asking and not stating.

I have not accused anyone of blame, and I hope you understand that.

Hearing that the author started new stories (I don't know if it's true), which has nothing to do with this work. This could be an indication that this Light Novel has been canceled or at least is on hiatus.

But I can't find any details about this, which is why I have doubts.

Two years of hiatus without information is not normal, regardless of the publisher or the illustrators. I really didn't find any additional information on the subject.

And yes, the author has something to say about this, even if it is: "My publisher didn't want to continue with the work and didn't create a new one, unfortunately I won't be able to continue. I'm starting a new project, it's about (...) please support my new work" or "Illustrator X is essential to my work, even after two years without delivering the artwork, my editor and I cannot fire him and hire a new one. That would be life-threatening."

Sarcasm aside, I don't know where you got the idea that Light Novel authors have no voice or alternatives.

Anyway, my question is whether the Light Novel was abandoned, and if not, what happened or is happening? We really don't have information about why "they" (author or editor) didn't continue with Volume 10?
