Good: Animation, Soulsborne aesthetics, Sherlock Holmes soundtrack

Bad: The story is absolute hyper speed left-ear/right-ear schizobabble nonsense, like injecting a homeless guy with a fatal amount of Ritalin and just listening.

tencent demanded the studio to rush early parts to get to the le good part by episode 3 (chinks minmaxing 3 episode rule)

>>280193261
its incomprehensible

>>280192827 (OP)
I'm just confused why in every chang show/webnovel the hero needs to instantly be the most powerful man in the entire world and have everyone bow to him in episode 1.

You would think in a hypercompetitive grinder society of 2 billion like that, strugglers would be the most popular characters. But they are exclusively interested in Mary Sues.

>>280192827 (OP)
They took a mystery show and turned it into solo leveling, probably because they thought that's the best selling kind of slop. Utterly fucking retarded bugmen.

>>280194224
Klein isn't like that in the novel but whoever's in charge of the lotm anime is definitely one of those retards and wants to change the story to his own personal taste.

>>280194224
just breezing through life is a more appealing fantasy than being reminded of the hypercompetative grind I guess

>>280192827 (OP)
So glad I didn't read the webnovel and believe yhe shills. Turns out the shills lied again, this show is shit.

>>280195920
The show isn't faithful to the novel at all. It even adds anime-only scenes.

>>280193261
>tencent demanded
thought this was the directors choice

>>280194224
Chinks can't handle any kind of conflict

>>280194224
>strugglers would be the most popular characters
I think we got more than enough battle-shounen already. It's better if the chinks don't add to this redundant overdose the nips already provide.

gonna rub my glabella on Susie

>>280194224
There are trillions of grinding chinks novel like its a video game though
Westerners call it litrpg

>>280194224
klein has to be carried like 98% of the story what are you talking about

>>280194224
Klein is literally grinding his way up for 90% of the story, even his "cheat" sephira castle is more of a curse later on. Literally his only "easy mode" is those 3 months as seq2 or something like that where he basically chills until the Utopia happens
>>280197318
Nah, the early leaks were that the studio and CF focused on ep1-3 with Tencent involvement, but people assumed they wanted the sakuga.
Turns out the heavy involvement was because they had to rewrite the ~70ch worth of story into 3 (or rather 4~normal) episodes.

>>280194224
>I'm just confused why in every chang show/webnovel the hero needs to instantly be the most powerful man in the entire world and have everyone bow to him in episode 1.
Klein is nowhere near the strongest character in the setting. His Path is pretty much entirely antithetical to that - the dude is constantly on the backfoot and only survives against peer opponents via sheer luck and good networking.

>>280198985
>the worst adaptation choice was one forced upon the crew by the producers
many such cases unfortunately

>>280199448
Yeah, it almost sounds like one of the Tencent execs heard the 3 episodes rule, didn't understand it but forced it either way since it was "his idea" and "that's what the fans want"

So there's no dubs anytime soon right?

>>280196435
So it's bad early on and one of those "it's really good later" shit. Nah already enough of this kind of bs.

>>280197537
Why does she just constantly feed her dog poison to make it smarter? Isn't she worried about side effects or bad reactions?

>>280197537
>canonically has a sultry, attractive and very feminine voice

Lord of Mysteries may have a garbage plot, but it definitely has the sexiest girls.

>>280192827 (OP)
So I gave the LN a whirl. The start was lovecraftian kino but it devolved into your standard chink circlejerking over powerlevels and bottleneck breakthroughs. It didn't help that 80% of the atmosphere was just gone when it started focusing too hard on Klein wankery. Are there better horror kino I can read?

>>280199317

>>280198000
If he's being carried through every problem, isn't that also just plot armor?

>>280201649
Dunno about better, but Deep Sea Embers is a LotM ripoff that I enjoyed.

Another CN story I remember that was lovecraft themed was Plague Doctor. That one was also interesting, less magic power levels than DSE iirc.

>>280201707
>the hero needs to instantly be the most powerful man in the entire world and have everyone bow to him in episode 1.
Yeah, but that's not
>the hero needs to instantly be the most powerful man in the entire world and have everyone bow to him in episode 1.

>>280192827 (OP)
>"We were worried about the 3-episode rule where the first 3 need to be the best to draw in viewers"
>"So we made the first 3 episodes the shittiest in the show"
>"It starts to get better after episode 3 we promise"
What did they unironically mean by this?

>>280201815
That they know zoomers only care about hype fights, not the story.

>>280201765
now we get
>the hero has a kind uncle who lets him puppetize a pirate guy who is one mcdonald realm higher than the mc
>also the kind uncle is some super special 10 major mcdonalds realm above the mc, but Klein was a really good student during his history lecture so he's helping Klein out

>>280201877
But everyone, even zoomers and shills are reposting the whole "it gets better after episode 3 just be patient" line.

>>280201879
What uncle? And the pirate guy does stuff? That's cool. Does the pretty boy do stuff too?

>>280192827 (OP)
Off-topic thread, not anime.
>>>/co/ >>>/trash/

>>280201929
>what uncle
Klein's professor
>the pirate guy does stuff?
That's the problem, turning him into a puppet didn't contribute to the story at all. So some schmuck got killed and turned into a puppet by Klein over literally nothing.
>Does the pretty boy do stuff too?
there's a lot of pretty boys. Only Leonard really matters past tutorial town

>>280202008
Leonard is the pretty boy I was thinking of. Favorite character so far along with tiny sister.

>>280201995
Best looking anime I've seen in years.

>>280201315
the dog is literally smarter than her. It also advances much more quickly compared to her.

>>280201649
Try this one 马恩的日常
If you can read chinese of course kek

I saw a lot of people say that the plot was hard to understand and that they didn't know what was going on, so I watched some reactions on youtube (god bless my soul) and 90% of these people didn't understand what the word "transmigration" meant and that the dude was from modern earth and reincarnated in a new body. Normies are so retarded.

>>280202870
>so I watched some reactions on youtube
Why would you do this to yourself, Anon?

Kino anime, japan can only look in envy at such a high level.
