I’m just reading the manhwa on Tapas, for the novel translation of ‘Pick Me Up’ it’s too fragmented and inconsistent for me to really care about right now. (That being said, I believe it is currently ahead of the comic, although it’s difficult for me to find individual English chapters of it and it would require far more effort on my part to read the novel rather than the manhwa). The art really adds to the gacha summoning scenes, so that’s a major draw for me to just read the manhwa.

This is a light novel series. It is seriously wonderful. Unlike most other fantasy stories it is totally sincere. It does not wink at the reader. It does not parody the genre. It is simply presented as fantasy. The light novel is told from the same pragmatic, goal-oriented perspective as the protagonist. It can sometimes feel rather unemotional or even cold, but that is part of its ingenuity. The relationships in the light novel are almost always developed through transactions or by working towards a common goal. Emotions slowly develop from there, and it can be rather glacial. The anime had to speed that up, by adding lots of emotion and lots of fan service. But the light novel’s methodical and glacial development is what is most notable and defining of the story itself.

From my daily commute reading of your novel I have noted the following key points. First, there are multiple female leads each with good background development and distinct abilities. Each of the female leads develops a strong personal loyalty to the male lead (MC) beyond simple alliance. The MC is by turns dense and blind, and then willfully avoiding a commitment to any one woman in order to keep all of his options open. Other male characters react to the MC’s various relationships with the females in the story with a mix of envy and suspicion.
Harem checklist: done. Novel keeps to the settings, backstories, and powers of multiple female leads, each of them developing into strong personal allies of the male protagonist, whereas he remains in the dark about his feelings towards them and refuses to close any doors. Other male characters then comment on their loser status in relation to the protagonist’s relationship with the female leads. For purposes of putting a novel like this on your reading list, it’s a harem – 99% of ongoing harem series lack a romantic conclusion.

Another major Darktide update arrives and the community proceeds to dissect it hoping for that one announcement they always seem to hope for with each major update: crossplay. Of course the update does include some nice tweaks to the guns and fixes one of the most persistent crashes on Carnival, but ultimately the community is left with the same unfulfilled dreams of a single unified player base. The developers likely recognize the importance of this feature, but with seemingly insurmountable technical hurdles to cross (i.e. servers, account syncing, anti-cheat measures for PC vs console play) it seems to me that this feature will come in due time but I wouldn’t hold my breath for any particular update to bring it.

So long as it is clear what the criteria for the souls in this fantasy world are (were they all killed in the same bus crash, or is this some sort of sort-of converging meta-world for the condemned and the fixated and the accidentally-killed-with-unfinished-business? I think the book secretly hints at some sort of convergence-point for this world in its past), then it is an incredible and wonderful place.

This rumor is sexist. A female public figure’s health, weight, pregnancy and age are always of interest to the public and discussed frequently by the press. Men in the public eye are rarely the subject of such discussion regarding their health, weight, etc. This “he has a brain tumor” rumor is more of the same toxic speculation that is always directed at female public figures.

I came across this post searching for answers. I know there are many memes regarding this book on the social media platforms. As for me reading it, however, I never got around to it. It seems like an immense task to even locate it, so I may just have to watch a YouTube video that summarizes it instead.

I found the fantasy economics in this show to be really compelling. Watching Michio figure out the various ways to manipulate the market, purchasing a house, and even managing his finances was really enjoyable. A second season could explore so many more areas of this world. New cultures, new trade goods, new ways for politics to play out. Yes, the harem is part of the story, but so is the world-building, which is extremely rich. I would love to see Michio deal with a merchant guild trying to wrestle control of the various dungeons and their treasures from him. This would be a really smart show and could deal out some real tension and even some strategy to the various story arcs. Season two has the potential to be much better than a lot of people expect.

For official releases, the safest option to get AlphaPolis published work would be their store, although for digital versions of books I read, sometimes the same title is available on Kindle Unlimited. For fan translation version of AlphaPolis’s published work, I personally recommend to use aggregation site Mangadex as they update timely and relatively are stable. Note that the quality of the scan however can vary greatly. It was actually pretty fun to read Makoto’s journey from being a pretty meh character to full-on OP Hero.

The title of the ‘fastest’ novel app actually refers to a specific genre and the biggest platforms for that genre. Chinese cultivation novels are published on Webnovel and the aggregators, while Korean romance novels are published on Manta and on reading platforms such as Tappytoon, etc. There is no king of the novel apps, the platforms specialize.
Asking for the fastest novel app is like asking for the fastest vehicle to get somewhere. A scooter would be the best for a short city commute, a plane for a long cross-country road trip. So, we need to specify the terrain, man.
