@Paul-Nebeling I think you are right, I even think I remember that disqualification was a mention in the last book, but I cannot remember why and couldn’t find it. Could it be because he used a knowingly cursed weapon during the tournament? Or the weapon is capable of something along the lines of the Primeval Blade and that flagged into a rule violation?

Or… after rereading it for like the 20th time… he died, killed himself on accident? He did lose an arm fighting Rook with the axe.

My body was turned to dust.
And as I felt myself shattering, my consciousness faded away.

Bonus Short Stories - Coming Soon

So much for hoping that the title of the bonus story was Coming Soon.
Really liked how the last one ended though. Really fits with how everyone but Ray can see what vibe his appearance is giving off.

Ah yes, that line is definitely something that needed more than a single page dedicated to it. Was looking forward to seeing it

I poked them on Discord and confirmed that it's not intended to release today, they've pushed back the date and will update it again when it's ready.

Alto's S-rank pull is really funny, Jubei seems to have decided that Ray really was related to the accident 10 years ago (but can't stop fighting long enough to find out ^^), and I wish Xunyu got more screentime cause she rules. (I get why she can't, but I still wish it'd happen.)

I'm not entirely pleased with Chelsea's though.

@legitpancake changed

For those interested in the whole drama around Franklin and A-RI-CA and how much it affected Franklin. There is an extra WN SS that can be read after volume 16, though if you don't know Japanese you'll have to MTL it. Don't go poking further though if you don't want to be spoiled for the current WN arc / future LN arcs.

@22144418 said in Infinite Dendrogram Vol. 15 Discussion!:

the Theodore and his fellow knights die is a bit sad... are there even enough tians left in the palace to even sustain a town? The post-launch mortality and carnage rates are so high, compared to how it was before, that the game's worldbuilding would likely keel over and die faster than the devs losing fresh changes to keep the game from burning out.

They didn't die. Arc Sage maybe be the worst but she is a capable healer.

@terabyte I know, right? I was planning on reading the LN last month during catch-up, but I just couldn't find the time
sigh I'll get around to it eventually...probably

well I shall cross my fingers and hope for another season of the anime

@amit34521 Steiner posted on Twitter that he finished part 1 yesterday, so it should come up on the schedule soonish. (Also apparently the next volume is pretty chonky.)

Oh no not a popcorn shortage!

c32p7: The announcer interprets Juliet's chuuni as "She's going to treat Juliet to a drink, folks!" but I think it's supposed to be Chelsea being treated.

Also the v7 chapters are not being linked properly in the manga viewer. If you try to change chapters while reading a chapter, the list stops at v6.

@saffire But it's just because that combo of items works best for him, that's all! Promise!

Chapter 2 page 23, 4th narration bubble: "Entering it with a large group of soldiers could been seen as an act of war.
Chapter 3 page 25: Having "Oh right" starting the sentence for two bubbles in a row is a bit awkward.

Will the ebook copy on the kindle automatically update with the Afterword? I got it on my kindle app, so will it auto update or will i have to download it again? And how?

EDIT: Never mind it update.

Something from the volume 2 epub that I wanted to check:

"The countries close to Gideon are Caldina and Legendaria. The latter signed a treaty of commerce with Altar, while the former is a full ally

For some reason, I had the impression that Legendaria was Altar's ally; and Caldina having a treaty of commerce seems more like a match. Is my impression wrong, or did that get mistakenly flipped in the text?

Also, more generally, I remember Steiner commenting that Gardranda's title was being changed from "Demon" to "Hobgoblin." It was Demon in the (recently downloaded) volume 1 premium epub, but is that just a matter of the epubs not being updated, or did it switch back to Demon?

Apparently the theme of the side stories this time is "people dying of overwork".

Well... that was bad :(
