>>74159 Yes

>The 4/jp/ LN general is starting to die from inactivity. It's so fucking over, for 4chan at least. Though frankly saw it coming, a good 50% of the activity was the weekly group rants about lolcowlizers and telling people to learn japanese, and the jannies there making it a bannable offense due to hurting the localizer feefees basically killed the general over time.

>>74236 Did something happen again?

>>74249 Outside of the jp thread kinda just dying, not really. It's just sad seeing it though, despite people like me necrobumping it whenever possible it simply died when I was asleep and it's still not recovering.

>>74251 Jannies there gave me a 3 day for "off-topic" without even a post as a reason for the ban. Gonna guess they just blanket nuked the regulars to kill the general for good because even right now the thread is at 2 (two) (二) posts despite being up for a day.

then why are the remaining anons so proud they won't come here? or was the percentage who knew of or found 8 during the hack actually pretty small?

>>74236 Which anons you mean? From 4/jp/? Seems a happening happened and everyone did move here like yesterday.

>>74268 Meant for >>74265 sorry.

those anons (i'm not one), /a/isekai anons who discuss things other than manga, the few OST anons who were here. maybe i should post a bit more. but i don't feel like doing many posts in a row

>>74270 Isn't the /a/ thread on 4chan just shitposters these days? It was the case about 2 years ago when I stopped checking on it. I should also post more here tbh, the slow pacing of 4chan's /jp/ gave me the habit of being mostly just a lurker.

>>74270 Probably should post more as well, will try be active even if I can't add much to the discussion lol.

how to befriend an arachne: first, have a way to notice her >モンタナの目にはアラクネの糸自体は見えないが、糸が生成されて吐き出されることによる魔素の動きは見えている。それが木々に絡まり、アラクネが飛び移るところを確認。 then you need to catch her, but she's fast you know >木々を飛んで移動しなくても、どうやら四足歩行で移動しているらしいアラクネの移動速度は速く、普通の人であれば逃げることは困難だろう。 and she leaves hardened web everywhere! but, we came prepared. our feMC can fly, no-sells string cut damage and can just burn them lol >またも体に糸が絡みついてきたことに気づいたハルカは、一度それが切れるまで高高度まで飛んでから、炎の塊を生み出して、糸のあるあたりにポイっと投げつけた。 or cut them >不可視の風の刃が上から下へ放たれ、燃えている糸が無事な糸からぶつんと切断された。刃を放ってすぐに移動を開始していたハルカは、慌てて姿を現したアラクネの目の前でぴたりと動きを止める。 >「こんばんは、お話を」 <「何なの、お前……」 congratulations, you just spooked your first arachne!

>>74286 What's this from?

You guys are here tool, what the fuck? Why didn't any of you say anything on 4chan?

>>74290 Pretty sure people mention this place on isek/4/i basically once a week at this point, the fuck are you on about?

>>74287 from >>73612, from the ch 2 days ago

>>74294 Kino. Would you recommend reading it?

>>74300 i'm loving it but rarely see discussion. really quite heartwarming throughout, and the worldbuilding and relationships with rulers and races are fun.

>>74301 People are still not used to actually having discourse again after the pajeet invasion of the late 10s and covid years I think.

>>74301 Eh wouldn't say I like worldbuilding stuff, overlord burned me too hard on that so I can't trust stuff being shilled to me for that reason. Will still add it to my backlog however.

>>74313 Overlord (and to an extent, MT and honzuki) are the exception to that worldbuilding shilling anon, usually when people shill something for it's worldbuilding they actually mean it and the details tend to matter.

>>74321 IMO worldbuilding it's kinda overrated, feels like the excuse pseuds use to praise wanked trash, don't blame anyone for feeling that way about the word.

Has 4chan been slow/dying for anyone else?

>>74323 over the last few years i came to see through setting wank that is only relevant in the current volume and gets thrown away later. especially guilty are mysterious character of the week introductions full of wank, like tensei slime did. i can now tell by smell when an author just piles lore on for fluff and i get put off. a few more years back i was a power level wanker who'd go on wikis for some series and make sense of the fluff. today it has to matter more than that for me to buy into it. >>74321 >honzuki wasn't it decent how it kept on piling stakes to the world? you wouldn't have guessed in part 1 or 2 how that dead sand world worked. it's still josei reading so stuff became less about zero sum economics and more about drama.

>>74327 >over the last few years i came to see through setting wank that is only relevant in the current volume and gets thrown away later. >especially guilty are mysterious character of the week introductions full of wank, like tensei slime did. I think I have heard the term "wiki filler" through around about that, because honestly that's what it is, literal fluff to pad out wiki entries for it to pretend there's a lot of worldbuilding.

>>74327 >especially guilty are mysterious character of the week introductions full of wank, like tensei slime did. That's just an unfair example, tensura is particularly bad on this type of shit by an order of magnitude, especially on the padded as fuck LN.

>>74346 Slime is fucking stupid about it, out of the entire fucking phone book of characters only like a dozen total ever mattered for the overarching plot. No author, I do not give a damn about these scrimblos I either forgot about or you pulled out of your ass and will never mention again after this volume. I swear more than once after rimuru becomes a demon lord there were entire volumes where 90% of it were literal whos doing pointless bullshit to the point I would accuse it of being AI generated writing if it wasn't written long before the AI bubble took off.

>>74348 i loved v8-12 for the comfy city building and good meetings, but the (first?) war arc put me to sleep so hard i dropped it at 13. maybe i should try the WN with how >>74346 said it's less padded

>>74353 Well, I did say less padded, not with no padding. You are still going to see a lot of stuff that will make your eyes gloss over constantly, especially on the second half of the story, but still. Tensura is just not good though, it's interesting up to the point he becomes a demon lord, and once the dust settles it becomes a snorefest.

>>74355 it's interesting up to snooze empire. it feels like they made s3ep13 just for me to see and hear this fabulous hag, CV kanemoto.

>>74356 Stop liking evil elves

>>74356 >>74357 There's just so many girls in this thing I don't even remember.

>>74358 It gets even worse better.

>>74363 To think of it, the supercars are the only post-demonlord characters I remember at all, and guy/diablo. I don't even remember the other primordials, damn. Oh and the time hero, but only because of how extremely fucking convoluted the plot surrounding her gets.

>>74364 I like the dungeon-like plot, they could make like 3-4 different anime by just using a different character as MC and without altering the timeline.

>>74364 >the supercars IMO that was when slime really started to decline, though as characters they were pretty good. From that point on rimuru feels legitimately invincible, and I'm never a fag to call for steaks but by then the story feels basically over.
