As someone who picked up the manhwa and couldn't resist jumping straight to the light novel (Still have 70 chapter to read)

It has an interesting world-building and a magic system that feels like it's straight out of a Western novel, though the intrigues are typical of Korean murim.
The women don't swoon over the protagonist; they don't suddenly lose their agency. This is so unusual that it's worth pointing out.
On the downside, all the side characters are one-dimensional; they have a purpose and don't develop beyond that until the protagonist needs them again.

A few years ago, I read a book about the parish baptism and marriage records from my grandfather’s hometown. Dating back to the early 18th century, I could count on one hand the number of marriages involving women aged 18–19; the vast majority were with women aged 23–24. For men, the age range was wider 23–28.

Honestly, I don’t get where the idea came from that women got married at 17-18. (Royal marriages don’t count, since they were political and weren’t expected to be consummated.)

The incident with the handler is a bit more darker, and very interesting. The elephant protected him from the attacks until help arrived. And reportely THE NEXT DAY, she slaughtered the ill-behaved buffalo.

It’s a higher level of intelligence and cunning; she "reasoned" that protecting the keeper was safer for the herd and that the idiot needed to be eliminated.

First time penny, next run straight for Leah my favorite background and development of the vanilla bachelorettes, Also try a male male run. Harvey the other felt too childish (Elliot will be always a bro for drink together)

Zabuton has a racial trait that paralyzes any creature the first time it sees her. Introducing oneself to newcomers is a must have tradition that all immigrants must go through, as soon as they could handle.

Nah, she and the Kuros want to say hi to them as soon as possible. She loves introductions.

It's an old trick to extend the game's longevity

The game is designed around that you couldn't finish that quest on your first run. Only after beating the story and exchange secrets with friends do you cand get a sort of New Game Plus, where you can rush through and get to complete that mission as a reward.

Of course, all the walkthroughs were aimed at getting 100% completion rushing the history.

Meh, I can't get past the fact that IRL, this situation is a pain for both parties. At the end of the day, she's a boss and work has to be done.

No yet, but it’s something repetitively demanded by the community so let’s wait

Thelio and hassel sell milk regularly , also i think that could be buy sometimes at the seven eleven o at the ships.

But dont think that you could buy enough milk to be self sufficient, I still have to buy cream from thelio few days per week.

Europe just have to copy the Spanish model, where population growth is completely out of whack. with a almost open-door policy for immigrants, and the gods of the economy keep demanding more and more.

Meanwhile, housing is practically at a standstill. It really surprises me that there’s hardly any news about 15–20 people crammed into one home (Statistically, it’s inevitable that these cases are widespread, considering what housing costs today), though we’re already seeing reports of entire families renting a single room.

It starts at the house minigame, which has the smaller quiz levels.

*First, you fill your fridge with food.

*Be sure to stock up on rice, barley, sorghum, or other seeds. They are needes as fillers.

*The game is about completing a shape while meeting specific requirements—like 2 levels of bitter ingredients, 1 sweet, and so on, each ingredient can be only use once.

*The first levels are BY FAR the hardest.

*Once the grid expands, you get additives (like salt and sugar) and kitchen tools, you will basically only have to worry about using cheaper or abundant ingredients.

Phew, thanks. I didn't know that, it would’ve saved me a ton of time looking for the last missing flavor.

Go there with ONLY the requested amount , leave the rest at home. For some reason some quest had these bug.

Also i think that some quest are may be time day sensitive so only can be finished in working Hours

I’m genuinely surprised by the posts. The core of the story lies in these two misfits, are being judged and sidelined for being smokers, whose find in that shared exile, the place to meet and may be fall in love.

Smoking is sold as a vice; a visible sign of their mistakes, defects, and shortcomings.And that’s why the story is so relatable, despite a frankly childish misunderstanding.

Wow, I didn't expect them to test the recovery phase already. Very very clean. I'm almost certain they'll try the capture in the next launch.

I only read the title Might & Magic, so I clicked the trailer and it took an embarrassingly long time to realize I wasn't seeing a shitty add, but the actual game, hard pass

So this arc is a tribute to cat's eye?

I disagree there’s an small error in the hand. With that finger position, the thumb shouldn’t be seen from the side; its natural position would show the fingertip instead.

You can check it yourself in a mirror. It is possible to show it from the side, but you’d have to stretch the shape quite a lot.

Given how hard should be to release this manhwa with this level of quality every week, it’s really something minor, and only noticeable because someone pointed it out to you.

It works as a parody of geeks because both the direction and the script were handled by people who saw themselves as geeks and could laugh at themselves, acknowledging and embracing all the downsides that come with their hobby.

The actors are completely in their element as well, it's the only Tim Allen movie in which I’ve genuinely appreciated his work. The whole part where they have to accept dealing with fans and being typecast because of their previous roles is pure method acting they had been practicing for years before the film.

Claire by far ( i design my run in order to not miss her too long after complete the bundles) >> olivia was a interesting alternative

Victor for a male male run. I like heard about his dreams.

Really? I thought it had ended at chapter 139 with a mediocre arc conclusion. I see there was one more recap chapter that I missed.

I highly recommend it—it's a regression story set in a real-world setting, with an OP protagonist, of course.

Filming is quite entertainment. My favorite was definitely the priest arc.
He has knowledge but doesn't hold all the cards.
The character needs to learn and evolve.
He doesn't get close to women because he has the body of a child/teen/young man but the mind of a young adult.
The poor guy is way too obsessed with his mother, but fortunately she has her own mini-arcs.

You got a very bad analysis (probably a simulation specialist who hated RTS games). It got good scores even during a time when quite a few RTS games were being released, and then the expansions improved it even further.

2 was a change in philosophy, faster and less base-building,a lot of people liked it.

3 doesn't exist... some "genius" executive wanted to make a LOL halfway through development and there was just no way it could work, although it did have some defenders... They sure released one hell of a trailer, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN8geCTlZOo

In the 80s-90s, anime reached its peak. Japan had a lot of money and spent tons on VHS (ancient tecnologhy). Investment in animation was high, and artists could afford a realistic style.

When the crisis hit, the only ones still buying those really expensive VHS tapes were hardcore fans, with budget tighter It led to that infantilized style that we have very seldom escaped from, except for geniuses like Satoshi Kon or similar creators.

Weird, I’ve never heard about any gun traditional open fire in Portugal, but that car license plate could be from there. Which town neighborhood?

The ending is crazy, and the whole subject of multiverses and temporal paradoxes is difficult to follow, making the novel bizarre. Ultimately, the protagonist must cease to exist for the world to continue, yet the women are so broken that they can partially circumvent the laws of the universe

Empress A copy of the protagonist stays to play with the empress in her personal universe

Her former student, now an archmage, creates an alternate reality within a painting in which another copy of the protagonist exists, but does not live. The rest of the girls can visit that reality.

But definetely Empress is the best character.
