    Contains spoiler past what's currently translated.
    Volume 7 Cleans
    I might just barely be able to get volume 8 out before next semester starts for me, but don't hold your breath.
    I'm guessing volume 9 is likely to drop mid February, so an updated reference download should come around then as well.

    Yo, so I started reading the manga and thought it was actually pretty good, is the WN just that much worse than the LN the manga is based on? The common complaint I see is the protagonist is frustratingly stupid and weak, but from reading the manga he doesn't seem that bad in fights. It more reminds me of the early stages of Kumo, where you have a monster protagonist always fighting monsters that are an actual threat, except without the guarantee of mid-battle full recoveries from leveling up. He does a lot of running away but I can't really blame him for doing so to give himself time to think of a counterattack. There's no 4D Chess 200 IQ play-type shit but the fights are reasonably concluded.

    I don't see a problem with a protagonist being quote unquote "weak" if they still typically win in the end. Tough fights are more interesting to read through than mindless curbstomps. Is it just better in manga form or what? Give me the rundown.

    The manga and wn are pretty much the same. It is just that, it kinda seems like a shounen when stronger guys are introduced. Also, there is a level of frustration from the slow translations. Because of the similarity between the manga and wn, you can probably just skip the early chapters, though. There are times when he loses, but it isn't too severe, cuz it's basicly a shounen.

    I thought the common complaint is the village girl (the one who named him). Well, maybe that's just me.
    Also, 'weak'...? He would be really strong, so weak beginning is a good way to start the story.
    About stupid... I can't make a comment about that, it has been a really long time since I last read this. Also, I thought being stupid is generic among Japanese LN MC, or is it just me who think like that?

    I almost would love to read this if not for the village girl, somehow her presence made me really annoyed and keep me from enjoying the story.

    Um if i remember right the complain mostly come from how stupid his action can be and it is really slow and dragged in comparison to the manga heck you'll probably get a better time to read the first few chapter of the manga before jumping into the wn. The weak mostly refer to his will (weak-willed) where rather than to challenge even greater height by fighting stronger and stronger enemies to farm experience he just fight as needed (hunting wolf just for food etc) and fight stronger enemies by coincedence like running into their nest or weak monster calling in their boss etc. Compare that to other isekai MC that get stronger rapidly/quickly and are not afraid to fight stronger enemies (especially xianxia) and you get the picture.
    Anyway it's been a long time since i read this and other novel so i might get it wrong but the biggest problem for the wn is the speed the story pace itself ch 8 of the manga is chapter ch 58 - 63 in wn couple that with the supposed slow translation (actually i read it in a binge so i don't know exactly how slow it is) it will feel even slower and dragged as hell

    I have not read the manga or LN so I can't talk about them.

    However, I can agree the translation at times is indeed very slow, But, I'm not complaining as the TL is well done in my opinion.

    It also doesnt help that the chapters themselves are usually on the short-medium side, so it feels very dragged out.

    No worse then some of the others out there. Way to many immature readers acting as if it is the end of the world if 1 things is not to their liking, regardless of the reason.

    honestly, some of the chapters for Doratama are like. scattered across multiple blogs. I think there's a few aggregators out there that at least makes it possible to read through it, albeit, horrendously.

    Also... man this novel is dropped? So our only saving grace is the monthly manga? :(
    Yikes.

    Oh, so the site isn't dead ?
    I though the website was expired and the adress had been taken over by one those scummy companies that put a huge amount of ads on old websites... :blob_ghost:

    I didn't read the chapter because of this... Guess I'll wait until it's fixed.
