Dungeon Odyssey - Chapter 123
Comments for chapter "Chapter 123"
the crow really said domain expansion
poor crow lady has a sad story.
This is such a good manga it’s super rereadable
Well as I said a few chapters ago, mc is becoming more arrogant and careless. Now this arrogance has lead to deaths. He should’ve at least taken a minute to think about summoning the ancient hero and maybe talked about this with the others, but he was so full of himself that he underestimated the opponent and just summoned her like doing a quick warm-up.
If he would’ve planned it, he may would’ve evacuated the people and fought her in a different place, further away from the centre of the labyrinth.
Honestly this is a great wake-up call for MC. He is lucky that Moriggan is someone with her own code of honor, and that the seal activate in time, otherwise the damage done to the labyrinth would have been catastrophic. MC has been acting too arrogantly after a few win, he should be reminded that he still carries the burden of his subjects, and how a small misjudgment can cause fatal consequences to his subordinates. Not only must he grow his strength without relying solely on the parasite as his trump card, he also must remember never to look down on his opponents again.
MC was busy farming
This manga chapter is about chapter 72 in the novel (Records of Dungeon Travel). Do note that there are some pretty heavy changes between the manga and the novel, including
Honestly if you do read the novel I would reading it from the beginning; it’s basically a completely different story. The high degree of quality of this adaptation is actually extremely impressive, particularly when considering that the author was originally just applying as an artist (according to that one chapter).
Look at the last scene after the fight. Notably, the thought bubbles alternate between MC and Morrigan.
MC – “The labyrinth was destroyed b/c I was weak.”
Morrigan – “If only I had one more second at the end… [I would have won.]”
MC – “If he had opened the formless labyrinth from the beginning? [I would have died.]”
Morrigan (as if talking to MC) – “You can’t even control your power properly and rely on a parasite.”
MC – “My own weakness disgusts me.”
And then, as MC walks away, he is left only with the thoughts in his own mind as the thought bubles return entirely to MC.
(implied text in brackets)
It’s a very interesting and unique way of presenting meaningful dialogue. Both agree that MC is far too weak and overreliant on the parasite. Neither has truly won. Morrigan is enslaved, and MC has lost tons of naga warriors to a catastrophe of his own making (because he recklessly summoned Morrigan in his labyrinth). It’s just regret all around, and even if MC has now soulbound Morrigan, it’s a pyrrhic victory. This is also, I think, a commentary on war; no matter who is subordinated to who, there is no “winner” in war, only loss. When MC leaves, Morrigan loses her right to speak; but that only leaves MC with his own thoughts and the weight of his own failure.
All in all: peak, peak, peak. What beautiful writing.
Oh, it’s just that, that labyrinth thing you worked really hard for to make strong and maintain? Well anyone can do it now and I bet we’ll be seeing a lot more domain expansions later on, not very original but can be hype if done right, overall good MC development this crow lady arc (I know pronouns were he/him this chapter but the TL is just bad I think).
And of course he survived, at least he’s useful and plenty of time for punishment. Also that end note from the authors not good to hear.
These people can’t complain no one wants to pay for their tl and churn out the most disgusting machine tl i’ve read, there isn’t a single correct pronoun in the whole chapter, it becomes hard to understand who’s talking about who. So yeah, nobody’s paying for your work because it is, in fact, not worth it.
But this series is peak
This is bad news😬😬Hope this won’t get axed well time to support a little bit by reading their site🫡
enter the Naga KIng
Wait so i know that this website mostly takes chapters from other sites and reuploads them on here, so is that notice at the end from the original website or for this?
“We are not being paid enough!” Complain the translation team after consistently messing up I/you and gender for idk how many chapters now.
If you want to make more money, be better. This chapter was the work quality of UNPAID translators.
