Alsar Chapter 64 Discussion

Genre wise:

• • HaremThey are three seme, and they managed to balanced out the relationship.
  • Indecision making, they'll often come up with an agreement, if they can't, they do rock-paper-scissors.
  • Physically, if MCkisses one of them, the other would asked to be kissed as well. They share the MC by taking turns, though for me it sounds daunting that I often worry about our MC stamina.

• • FantasyNon- human and human existence, monsters. Guilds, subjugation, magic power, party (team). The settings details are rock solid and clarified, like some scene, I
    feel like I'm reading a manual. The concept of transmigration is often mentioned every now and then the author makes it realistic by making the MC not immediately integrate to the culture of Alsar by laying heavy emphasis on cultural difference that affect the values of our main couple.

• • ActionThe MC overshadow the three seme in this aspect, I get that given MC is new to Alsar, and the other three already build up reputation as one of the 50 A ranked adventurers. So the author is giving more details on how great MC is with his support magic.
  • Power-dynamic, they say MC is considered a female despite being a male, and given he is other worldly, he is relatively weaker and physically smaller even so than the average. But it's too much to make the MC seem clumsy because of this and oftenly got to be tripping or slipping then and there, that he get catched by one of the MLs. The MC underestimate himself by considering he isn't as good looking and appealing as the other three. But the rumors and fame of the MLs really haven't given enough background so it doesn't give justice how low MC think of himself. He is uselessly being pitiful.

• • SmutI loved how this isn't some r*pe victim turn to voluntary manwhore. They didn't force the MC to have s*x with them, I admire the tolerance and the gradual build up leading to the s*xual interc**rse for real, but I still can't shake off the first smut scene with all of them together, and MC dream after meeting the first ML, Chris.
  • Spoiler

    First smut scene, although they didn't go all the way, they promised to just do a little touching, inserting the finger in is really not little.

  • MC is a straight uke, yes? So how come after he met Chris, he could used him as a fap material and get turned on with his voice?
  • This sudden change in behavior I admit could ease up the fact of the s*xual interaction being done consensually, leading up to more smut scenes, but damn. I just hope it doesn't feel like it was rushed so the first smut scene could seem to happen naturally.
  • [collapse] The three ML is really scheming. Or was it that the MC is a natural pushover? As Fer-san said (one of the ML) "
  he is to kind for his own good"

• • AdventureThe length of time to travel really sounds nice, all the out camping and the break in between.
  • The outdoer scenes
    are nice, and I like how they were certain spots for rest and some tourist attraction.
  • I also like the grasp of the author in the geography of Alsar (if I'm not mistaken) , by pointing out places the MC haven't gone to and how wide it actually is. Like aside from the main town, the guild, and his house. They were a jewelry shop, a restaurant, an open space for gathering herbs, land plot, renting houses and red light district. Or maybe because Alsar is not just a town in outskirts, but actually a major town.

• • Food
  • The cooking skills and details are really interesting though I'm not familiar with cooking, through the providence of the actual meal pictures I get to see what the author was actually describing.
  • Food here is really a major part of the whole story. Like literally of half the scenes focused on romance the other half is about food. It was fun at first but eventually I got bored of it.
  • Since it become like a mukbang show describing what they are gulping. Every know and then, I just hope the author integrate like the fantasy aspect to food or something, since it do felt like I'm just learning and reading about food menus.

• Length- wise
• It's a long read each chapter, though it doesn't seem that long, and the cut tothe next chapter often happen when the POV is gonna shift.
  Each chapter is worth to be called a chapter. For time wise, I really feel like I read it for so long I'm just 1/3 out of the translated version of the original and it's already more than 12 hours. I don't even read that slow. But I don't know. It feels lengthy.
  Characters
  I gonna get give quick impression to our MC, Ren, and the three ML, Chris, Fer, Sig.
  • Ren

He is really like a 21 year old, given that he used to live on his own and had become independent at a young age. His maturity is really amazing in the aspect of not wanting to rely on someone. It is also his weakness, because he doesn't want to be a burden to others he oftenly see himself as someone not worthy or not doing enough.

As he are not exposed to social relationship, he often got pushed around, becoming inexcessively tolerant. It's like he still doesn't have a clear grasp of his bottom line.

Yes, given he transmigrated to a world different to his own it's natural to be at straw at first but pleeeease, he knows that in the end

he just gives

in to the request of the other three and that could is a disadvantage for him but he doesn't do anything about it.

It makes sense given he is the younger one in the relationship, that he gets to be lead on,

but given its a polygamous relationship, and he is the center given he is the bottom, it do seems like that after he was drag down, he is pushed and then step on. Each ML is a complete entity, and MC just let them give him each 100 percent sense of pressure.

Although this is really a hard thing to consider, it's really a personal preference, I hope he have had a certain time where before he got engage to them, individually.

• • Chris

It's not an understatement to say he is the official Playboy of the group, he is also often on the lead on leading on MC sexually (given he has more experience handling male- female), he literally is like he is on top. Spoiler

He is an ex- noble, who gives up his inheritance to his younger brother, and then pursue the life of being an adventurer

[collapse]

Being the youngest of the male lead, he gives off the energy of wanting to be spoiled, he often expressed this in a childish way.

He do seems mischievous too. Like teasing MC every chance he gets, or poaching on him with a smirk or something.

• • Fer

Spoiler

Fifth prince, and has given up his right to succession

[collapse]

The image he is portrayed as is someone always have his head above the water and the intellectual one on their party. He is acts as one with high standing. His speech is the most formal among the three. He supposed to be a trundere at first but he suddenly turned yandere.

• • Sig

There's always that muscle head in the party right? Although in this situation as Ren stated, he is one who acts on first and the thinking just follows.

Among the three, I prefer him, it's more of that because of his beast quality, and his build and him being the only commoner among the three. Spoiler

He is orphaned at the age of eight, by his mother and three father that is also adventurers. The way he fell in love to MC makes most sense to, he falln in love at first smell

[collapse]

He have the highest sensitivity with regards to smell given he is of wolf descent. And he is the tallest. He also feels like as the most care-free and the first to throw his fist in any situation. I like this quality as he seems more natural and not as scheming. The way he dictate his desire feels the most raw, too.

Story-wise

I would say with it's

, it do deserve a higher rating for sure, it's just that that goodness of MC kinda rub me the wrong way. He is just that too kind and tolerant!

Another aspect is that, the emphasis on food. We get it, MC is a foodie, I'm a foodie took, the food and the picture makes my mouth watery too, but that's pulling me off from the rest of the story that the food aspect and the romance feels contradicting. I can't feel the butterflies and satisfaction from being fed visually at the same time, it just doesn't work out.

Translation

Honestly, although it wasn't completely translated and the translator said it their first translation job or something, it's praise worthy enough.

Honestly one of the things that pulled me through those intricate details of food recipe are the pictures of the food itself.

The flow of the translation is good too, that I need not to read twice, or that my comprehension feels like it's on the verge of not wanting to understand.

I can't see other translated version of this work aside from the foxholic one so I'm really really grateful for the effort of the translator. Good job! Really, really, well done!

Honest to goodness, I might delay on finishing this one but up to where I cut off, its a worthwhile read.
