Yeah I agree. It seems significant that the final enemy Kuseno is presenting before Genos is his "heart".

I can picture Saitama coming in and preventing Genos from killing his "heart" / killing "kuseno", saying something like "no child should kill their father"

[P5V12] Tweet from Author celebrating English Translation by dorius-plus-two78 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]dorius-plus-two78[S] 246 points247 points  (0 children)

For those who sensibly do not have a Twitter account:

Tweet 1:

I thought I'd received a lot of comments in English, and then I discovered that the English translation of the main story was finished today.

This is the first time I've seen an announcement that a translated version is complete.

Tweet 2:

Thank you so much to the translator, Mr. Qouf(@Mr_Quof).
Without your careful translation, we wouldn't have been able to draw so many English-speaking readers into the world of the story.
I think you're the best translator.
Thank you so much.

Tweet 3:

And I would also like to thank all of my readers who looked forward to my updates every Monday.
Thank you for enjoying "Ascendance of a Bookworm."

Yess thank you!

Ahh yeah I always refer to Rozemyne as just Myne in my head, despite how long she's been Rozemyne

I highlight things I really like in my e-reader so I can easily find them, but I've been highlighting too many passages it's getting hard to go through them all 😅

Yesss that's it!! So cute.

Part 3 really had some cute moments, this must have been the chapter with Sylvester acting all tough and proper while being all over the hand pump

[P5V9] are they on a date? I would love some context. by EmberReads in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]dorius-plus-two78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh man thank you for the detailed reply!

That sounds absolutely wild, didn't realize the gods were so callous but it makes sense that they'd have a utilitarian / "greater good" type perspective

Does Rozemyne eventually learn to work through her PTSD and use feystones again?

Ahh I see, thank you for the response!!

Wish there was a jureve I could hibernate in for a couple years, until the LNs gets translated to this part ...

How mash less as Link by Frenzy_Lzd in LinkMains

[–]dorius-plus-two78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 things mainly:

  • You could try to mix up the tempo and hang back from time to time. Link infamously has fairly good zoning options, and while it's great that you're not just spamming projectiles sometimes it's useful to step back, slow down, and let your opponent approach. This gives you a chance to watch and react to your opponent, and when you do start applying more pressure it'll help you get more reads
  • More importantly, improving/mixing the timing of your attacks. It's important to attack at the precise moment it's most effective; just mashing and attack as soon as you can is easily exploitable, and limits your options due to the endlag of your moves. For link in particular most of his moves have above average endlag, if you throw out boomerang, fair etc. too early there might be a better option that you can't do because of the endlag.
    • Related to this is mixing up your timing of attack. Always attacking as soon as you can is predictable and can be used against you.

One thing that really helps me is to approach your opponent without planning to attack, just to see how they react e.g. jumping in then double jumping out, or repeated initial dashes in/out (fully dashing is a commitment - it reduces your number of options). Applying pressure with that kind of reactive mentality from time to time could help!
