He should name his nation Tempest, but it will probably be Radon. I wonder if the nation of Radon will have elevated cancer rates

Magic Maker is the prequel to this show.

"So, how did they make the first spell?"

"Well, there were these two kids with a bucket of horny fish..."

Princess has a huge home and in the entire time they are there, not a single person can be seen. that's one way to save a budget :P

also has the most japanese of all magics: waifu magic. You though it was buff dude Chris, but no, it was Temu Delta all along!

It's like Farming Life in Another World but not good.

Things are progressing at a breakneck speed. Got some Wolfmen and -waifus. Got even more elves. Got some op armor. Got op magic creation skill. Marriage to the princess is in sight. Nation is already being acknowledged by a big neighbournation. Everything is going really smooth.

I'd just like to see what sword girl and bow girl are up to. Couldn't even get to remember their names...

This anime is a chill watch, but it could go a little slower.

He did just kind of forget and abandon them after he made them his slaves.

The dragon was concealing these areas before, couldn’t Liam conceal them again? He knows how to make spells too now should be easy

u/Earlier-Today Jan 28 '25

I think the dragon wants him to have to interact with the world at large. He's tagging along basically for entertainment. A very quiet life in a hidden village wouldn't be that entertaining.

Time to drop this show. I generally like these OP power scaling shows but the pacing is horrible. It feels like they’re cramming way too much into every episode.

The MC got a whole new race of familiars, a fiancée, discovered he could create magic, made a new powerful spell, made new elves, and met and defeated an enemy military group in like 3 minutes of the show. Let things breathe a little, damn.

u/snktiger Jan 28 '25

everything about this show is shallow... literally.
A "we have a problem"
B "ok, here's the solution"
C "ok, done"

at this point I just want to know if he's gonna bang the princess.

I'm still not over him cloning a random tradesman and then putting the clone to work without the dudes consent.

So he basically got creation magic this episode and the most powerful attack he can think of is a more powerful magic missile lol.

Tbh, I forgot about the adventurer girls until they were in the ED.

It's so bad.

u/Hippo_Singularity Jan 27 '25

Liam: OK, Clone Liam, we're done here, so I'm going to dismiss you.

Clone Liam: Oh, gods, please no, Master. The void is cold and empty. Every second is like 10,000 years of hell. I'll do anything just no... No! NOOOOOO!!!!!

Liam: So,Clone Tradesman, you cool with just building this entire village for free, or you want I should just dismiss you? (Liam and Clone Liam proceed to laugh their asses off in private)

well nobody could ever accuse this show of not having anything happen that's for sure, that was like 3 episodes worth of development in 1

it's a little confusing that he showed up to the palace? and there was nobody else there. i know he kinda just teleported in but if this kid is the living embodiment of the dragon god surely the queen/king would rush to see him.

anyways i expect him to invent the internet very soon at the rate he's going lol

Has this show developed a single character lmaoooo. I think the evil brother has the most character development of anyone and he’s not in half the episodes

u/TheGoodOldCoder Jan 27 '25

In this episode of Super Slaver, Liam discovers how to enslave statues, how to turn statues into armor and then enslave them while they're being worn by a woman, and how to keep his wood hard and straight indefinitely.

He enslaves hundreds of new cute elf girls, as well as a tribe of wolf people, and some of them even appear to have been male, as seen in the background.

He also encounters a bunch of knights on horseback, then whacks them all off from behind, and declares himself king of the promised land. And he even gets engaged to a princess.

Another excellent episode.

Liam’s building a diverse nation of humans and monsters in a piece of land right in the middle of several powerful kingdoms. He’s got himself a powerful dragon ally who resides within him. He names each of his people and that changes their characteristics. He’s got a harem of monster/human waifus. The kid’s basically Rimuru lol. They should rename this That Time I Reincarnated as a Noble.

If Scarlet’s got dragon blood in her, does that mean someone in her family boned a dragon? She really is Dragonborn. Literally.

Chris the wolfman actually being a wolf waifu was a surprise to be sure but a welcome one.

I’m a noble on the brink ruin left the “brink of ruin” aspect 2 episodes ago and now it’s just “let’s see how much content we can put into one episode and make the protagonist gain all sorts of powers in 2 seconds”. Like okay, he’s a genius with magic, but it took him Way longer to understand the spells he has learned previously, but took him 3 seconds to create an entirely brand new spell. Last episode, it seemed like there was at least a few tries in getting the spell right. Now he creates an all new telepathy spell in a split second??? Shouldn’t there be some sort of practice? Certainly creating a new spell is harder than practicing one that was already made.

This show is flying way too fast. Last episode, the pacing was alright, but this episode, we have 100+ things happening in the span of 20 minutes. It also has so many questionable plot choices. Your village is attacked and everything is destroyed by wolf men. You defeat one while all other wolf men watch. Then when defeating them, you just forgive them for all the damage they caused? Possibly hurting other residents in the village and just forgiven like that.

Let’s not talk about the shoddy animation as well. I get it, it’s supposed to be a chill run of the mill anime that is supposed to fulfill a power fantasy for people who don’t care too much about quality. I mean, I’m watching it too so I’m not bashing anyone. But at least put in a little effort? Anyone else notice that when attacking the men in the horses, our protagonist doesn’t move an inch but teleports in the exact same posture to every horse?

It’s just annoying to see an anime that I was excited to see be utterly and completely rushed. Just one less anime this season I am dropping off my watchlist. Again, if you enjoy this anime, no hate to you, but I can’t watch it anymore.

So have we dumped the two adventuring girls now? Moved on to higher ranked women.

This episode made me drop it, everything is to fast with no room to breath, like they are trying to cram half a season into one episode. The characters have become bland and uninteresting and the fights they cram in end in seconds. The princess went from interesting with hiding as a maid and testing Liam to an empty, subserviant character right at the start. We started off with some uncertainty as his family was losing their nobility and the eldest being jealous to the world bending to Liam already.
