Chapter 10: No Choice But To Surpass It
And that's your fill of brown elves for this month.
How this dumpsterfire of "nothing happeing" still here?
great series, i hope it gets adapted eventually.
>>291776967stick to shonenslop zoomie, it's more up your speed
>>291775799Genuine question for /a/utists (compliment) with more knowledge than me. What is with the fad(?) naming scheme of full sentences? It reminds me of early Fall Out Boy "Ive got all this ringing in my ears and none on my finger" and "I slept with someone in Fall Out Boy and all I got was this stupid song written about me" song titles.
>>291776967Looks pretty at least.
>>291775799Is this walmart Frieren
>>291777058>denying the fire bird tropeYour slop is worse, at least in shonen something happens.>>291777201>Using good art to cover up a bad storyThis is the worst possible use of art.
Sales.
Oh god this schizo is here again to shit up the thread.>>291776967>>291777228>>291777292
rebate frieren?count me in
>>291777307Is that good or bad?
>>291777112AFAIK it stems from people realizing that longer titles are better at catching the customers attention. When you have thousands of titles lined up in bookstores the ones with longer and eye-catching titles just sell better. This is also why it's associated with isekai and general slop - they're the ones competing in genres where there's a huge supply of very similar stories, and arguably "quality" isn't as much of a selling point as in e.g. classic literature
>>291777496Insanely good
>>291776940Thanks OP. >>291776597When she's close to death she's thinking of Lilicena.
>>291776492Who is that woman?
>>291776967>>291777201It's an magical adventure feel-good no-stakes manga. "Nothing happens" with cute girls with good art, high-school intellectualism, and moments of "wonder" is exactly what the audience wants
>>291777638zoomoids don't get it, their brains have been rotted away by shonenslop
>>291777518Also, easy to make long titles in japanese
>>291777369Last thread talking about this everyone agreed that this manga only have good art but the story sucks.
>>291777954you talking to yourself is not everyone, schizo
>>291777673Retard
>>291777987>you are talking to me right nowLmao
>>291777518>>291777675Thank you for the explaination.
>>291776967>>291777638I'd rather have nothing happening than the weird tonally incoherent mess that is Sleeping in the Dragon's Belly.
>>291778210>Sleeping in the Dragon's Belly.Literally who's this, you bland retard.Even in Frieren a lot Happens, here nothing happens.
>>291776462She's cooming
>>291777638>feel-good no-stakes mangaor the stakes don't need to be introduced immediately. Which i guess is a foreign concept to shonentards
More yuri pls. Gay elf and whatever Lilicena is.
>>291778290>foreign concept to shonentardsBlandtards are insufferable.
Jesus, this manga already attracted schizos? Well that sucks that makes discussing this manga a lot worse
>>291775799>frieren but without any of the depthamazing
>the schizo keeps going
>>291778387>world building?>character development?>non-fight driven plots?NOOOOOO ME NEED PUNCHY AND KICKY AND LASER EXPLOSIONS THAT MAKE ROCK CUBE PILES!!!!
>>291775799Sex with brown elves.
>>291778490>world building?>character development?>non-fight driven plots?Literally Versus.
>>291778441>>291778467Keep larping samefag blandtard
>>291777673>>291777987>>291778210>>291778290>>291778490>>291778643
>>291778562First you have to beat her gf
>>291778657>Schizo meltdown
>>291778210>tonallyInsufferable people love to use this word
>>291777058Even most shonen aren't this unsubtle about their themes
>>291778840>MostYou don't know them all then.
>>291778840She makes me hard but there is no porn I can find.
>>291778840it's not ground-breaking, but atleast this is an established mindset, and we don't have to wade through 50 chapters of this being the eventual epiphany.
>>291777112A lot of isekaislot started as web novels. These things were self-published and often read in phones (not smartphones, regular old ones). The wn sites were very simple and mostly text-based, with short listings of popular and new novels. Every novel had to compete for attention with hundreds of very similar stories, with new ones added every day, and their only weapon to get the attention of the bored reader looking for something new to read was their title. No budget for cover or illustrations, nor even a space to display them. Eventually things converged into "the title is a summary of the story, and better be full of buzzwords".
Remember, this killed the whole manga.
>>291779098fuck off already, schizo
>>291779098why?
>>291779171Squeal for me, blandtard who likes the nothingness.
Since this is a monthly manga, I keep forgetting there's an annoying schizo shitting up the threads.
>>291779172>Disgustingly predictable.>Absolutely nothing happens.>It’s an irritating cliché that has been repeated ad nauseam, and it ties into the second point.
>>291779252ah yes, cliches, the bane of japanese media
>>291779172He's an obsessed retard who keeps sperging about how "nothing happens" in the manga like in his favorite shonenslops. At the same time, he doesn't like that the Elf has super strength. He keeps shitting up any and all threads about this manga with these same points, always using buzzwords like "cliché" with an é and "ad nauseam".
>manga with not even a dozen chapters>threads already have schizos/a/ is just /v/ at this point huh
>>291779332Very few actually break them and are original.>>291779343And she does some shit with that?Keep larping
>>291779414>Very few actually break them and are original.so what manga/anime do you like anon?
>>291779441VersusDark gatheringMade in AbyssRagna CrimsonKumo desu ga nani ka FrierenDungeon meshi
>>291779564hmm, so why are you complaining about this series specifically, when you seem to enjoy when others are predictable, have cliches, and intermittently slow plots?
>>291779617>when you seem to enjoy when others are predictableThere is a huge difference between a story that is predictable from the very beginning and one that is far more ambiguous regarding its events—a story that truly makes you wonder, "What’s going to happen next?"
>>291779679But frieren's chapter 10 was essentially filler, would it have been right to conclude it had no value and was wholly predictable?
>>291777496Very good for the magazine it's in.
>>291779737Right, so does that mean the whole series is just filler?This manga feels like nothing but filler from the very beginning—and, as I’ve already mentioned, that damn "firebird" sequence is the perfect example of it.
>>291779407>/a/ is just /v/ at this point huhThat would imply having some interesting threads from time to time, something that doesn't happen on /a/
>>291779838>This manga feels like nothing but filler from the very beginningAnd if you thought that way about all the others, you would have never realized they had value. Why are you being arbitrarily critical of this one?Why are you insisting it needs to do and be exactly what you want?
>>291779955>And if you thought that way about all the others, you would have never realized they had value.Already replied that>Why are you being arbitrarily critical of this one?Good art only to cover a bad story>Why are you insisting it needs to do and be exactly what you want?A fight and killing of the Firebird could be a breaking of the cliché used.
>>291780022>A fight and killing of the Firebirdi think you should try re-reading the first chapter, because killing and violence isn't really the point of Dark Elf, and at odds with her character.
>>291780172I see then why it reeks of annoying clichés.Is the same bullshit you get in "Tom Bombadil" farming isekai
Shame that another thread got ruined by the schizo, maybe he'll fuck off eventually and we can have comfy discussions. See you next month, elfbros.
>>291776000Guess it makes sense why it has no user
>>291776492>Short hair LilicenaCUTE!

>>291781571Squeal more
>>291777496Very good.I assume that's just the physical copies since they announced it has sold 200k copies.
>>291781571Just ignore him. I don't know why you keep replying to obvious bait.
>>291776967Cute brown elf
>>291782103Because you guys are retard blandtards.

>>291776967brown elves are like magic
>>291783936where is she from?
>>291784896haruka's novel >>291568762i'll always shill it.
>>291776492What a cute cow
>>291777496Even Jump would kill to have a new series with that many sales.
Schizos make the threads more fun. You guys should be grateful you got one so soon.
>>291787991Better a schizo than a yurifag.
>>291782021>since they announced it has sold 200k copiesThey didn't, it's the circulation, retardo
>>291787991Kek
Elves exist to be forcefully married to human men, thank you. Yes all elves, there is little difference between male or female elves, both can carry human seed to term.
>>291776940Thank you for posting, OP.
>>291775799Thx.
>>291788563True
>>291779564man of taste
>>291778709>staffscan we stop teaching foreigners English?
>>291781571Still kicking
>>291788960Nope, they specifically said it's the sales.
>>291776000Outside the art being the only good things lf this thing, this elf already looks annoying very "luz" something vibes
>>291777112Mostly limited space to write a synopsis and people going only by titles. There's a long tradition of long descriptive titles on the west too back when newspaper serialised novels were a thing.>Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several ShipsExists so there's that.
>>291776047What a ridoknolous looking staff. Ugly as hell too.
>>291776967Frieren is on hiatus
>>291776940what a shoddy and blatant frieren knockoff
>schizo is still at it
>>291777369>>291777987cope, they're completely right
Why pretend this shallow series is any good when all you're interested in are the pretty pictures?
