(L) Log Horizon (novel)

^ when did it stated that Nyanta overskill was cooking? I thought He can cook because he was a chef... or it was a fact cooking itself was an overskill?

[DQueenie13]

Real Food Preparation is an Overskill because they did something that wasn't designed by the system, if I remember correctly. He used his skills as a chef to cook things for real, or something like that. We discussed it way back when, but I can't remember the details of the conversation.

[mPervy]

Oh, so it's like that... the cooking itself was an overskill, no wonder that the other sub job was unable to cook (except a very basic one like in the newest chapter).

also I just watch the new episode, and kinda interested with the crosdresed wolf girl who used thorn bind hostage... did she showed up in any SS?

[DQueenie13]

I believe that Azuki-ko (the Enchanter Wolf Fang) is anime-original. Same as the muscle Assassin with her.

now if i think about it... nyanta cooking overskill and shiroe contract overskills is not part of battle skill.....
and akatsuki and nazuna overskills is part of battle skill....
is that why akatsuki receive "overskill obtained screen"? but not nyanta cooking overskill and shiroe contract overskill?

and here i though that because of what nyanta and shiroe(and maybe nureha, kanami) do with their new found over skill.. "the system" try to adapt it further with providing it with some "overskill obtained screen"

SILLY ME

Overskill screen is just DEEN(nothing personal against them) not thinking things through, it doesn't realy have anything to do with novels (as far as I remember) Trying make sense of it would be just waste of effort.

New web novel chapter is out.

Spoiler:

It seems as though Ancients are Landers that were just born as Ancients because of lottery luck, I guess. And, since they are normally immortal, they are separated from normal Lander populations. Elias doesn't seem to be terribly fond of Landers as a whole, either.

The biggest thing about the latest chapter is COWABUNGA IS KEPT INTACT HOORAY!

Latest news on the KadoTaiwan version: Volume 8 due 2015, either January or February if all things go well =3

[DQueenie13]

Went through one of Mamare's docs because Overskills were in there.

Spoiler for Possible future content?:

Some of the currently-unofficial Overskills/skills/techniques on the list included one called Queen's Orders and another called Soul Network. The first essentially is a brainwashing skill/technology that would make "Death Troops" completely loyal to their "master" (Nureha?). The second strengthens communication in one's Friend List using Alv technology and is being used in Minami in case they are faced with a Raid, setting "slaves" under "masters" who can force them to fight by operating the slave's menu.

Perhaps the first is to get the Minami Adventurers willing to attack Akiba, and the second to prepare for a counterattack by Akiba's Adventurers? Also to note is that in the descriptions for both skills, there's always a distinct "master" and the others are "slaves", or have to devote themselves to the masters. Highlights how the situation in Minami really is.

volumw 8 is already out. u mean vol 9 ?

[DQueenie13]

I think he was talking about the Chinese version of volume 8. Volume 9 technically isn't complete yet.

[Estavali]

Yup =3

I did say it's "Latest news on the KadoTaiwan version"

It seems that Nickelodeon doesn't own the rights to COWABUNGA! (according to the 'Net, someone had used this on TV way before the Turtles) so they can't say yea or nay to anyone using this >=D

[DQueenie13]

The TRPG's first Celdesia Gazette was released. "Dariella" has a column talking about folklore and geography of Yamato, and Coppelia 16 has a part about LHTRPG player statistics.

[tuckersister]

I wonder if Mamare has a hard time write each volume. After Volume 8, things start to slow down. The release date for the next volume hasn't even been revealed yet.

[Sheba]

To be fair, Log Horizon have grown a bit bigger than he thought it would be, with that TTRPG, etc...

Volume release dates are never released before the web novel volume finishes, though.

Well, episode 9 pretty much explains how Roe2 came to Celdesia. She really did swapped places with her "brother", even though for him it was just a there-and-back-again trip

Personally, I don't get that impression. It maybe a red herring.

Maybe, but at least now we have something to support that line of thought =3

In the LN it is implied that Akatsuki may have another Overskill she was using before the Shadow clone one.

Which since she's never mentioned to anyone else that she's much better at travelling between the roof tops since Sandleaf, to a level no one else can match, no one has pointed out to her that might be an Overskill.
