Skill Taker’s World Domination ~ Building a S*ave Harem from Scratch Chapter v118 Discussion

  • #1
I'm only on chapter 18, so it might change later on, but so far it's the same as most "summoned as OP character in a RPG-like world with s*aves".

What I mean by this is a MC that is OP for the sole reason of the story (here, it comes from "stealing" martial arts from our world before reincarnating/transmigrating). He is described as having mastered a lot of martial arts, and being the strongest in his martial art oriented family for generations, and yet he remains your standard japanese main character.

By this I mean virg*n, selfless and apologetic when saving a girl, completely clueless on how the world works, and that damn "I want to stay low profile" that's so ingrained in japanese society. So all in all, a forgettable main character that's going strait down the route of OP and s*ave harem.

Some of those novels at least try to redeem themselves with at least semi-interesting side characters and s*aves, but everyone so far is just depicted as a NPC, and his first s*ave is so one dimensional that there is a line strait up saying "The feelings of Spica for Yuuto changed from 【respect】 to 【worship】." in chapter 17.

The translation so far is fairly good despite being machine translation. It is clearly edited and proofread much more than most machine translations, I have yet to find places where I want to punch my screen for phrases that are not even close to grammatically correct.

I know it's not flawless, and if you search for inconsistencies in the translation, you'll find plenty because machine translation can only go so far, but at least it's mostly proper english phrasing, which is more that quite a lot of machine translations out there.

So bottom line is that the story is average at best, but the translation is above average, so if the theme is what you were looking for, go for it.
