Some of my favorite parts of the novels are when Rudy, Cliff and Zenoba are hanging out drinking lol. They are as great a trio as the 3 Musketeers and the 3 Stooges. I'm really looking forward to seeing them animated.
The story of Oldeus' timeline Cliff shows how much of a good friend he's to Rudi. Even though he was a priest of Millis he agreed to help Rudi broke into the church's HQ to steal a treasure of the church to save Rudi's second wife( Millis forbid polygamy). Truly a good bro.
Wow. The intro made me realize theat so many LNs dont even give their MC's a guy best friend. Zanoba and Cliff are honestly so well rounded and are amazingly great friends
Definitely a favorite character I like the friendship the 3 have, hanging out at the bar every once in a while, giving each other advice and praise, but developing something in their own lives when apart. It reminds me of my friendship
If I'm going to honest, when his first introduce in the University arc I thought his going to be a rival type character for Rudy, like they would compete with each other for academic performances/maybe magic battle. In the end he becomes a big brother type figure for Rudy
He's also the part of the reason Rudy only has 3 wives as when Rudy married Roxy and Eris, Cliff always gives him a stern and long sermon about the Milis teachings on marriage.
@@anupamraj3922 That's Zanoba not Cliff, his relationship with Cliff is with massive respect to him while his relationship with Zanoba is one with bounding and plus having the same interest
20:00 You know that's interesting, I should keep that in mind when writing characters. I've honestly never thought about that before and it makes sense.
Eyyo happy birthday! I just happen to be watching this 1-year and 1-week from the “It’s my birthday next week” note, but hope you’re awesome and looking forward to the next season of the anime adaptation!
What is so great about Zanoba and Cliff is that they complement Rudeus's downsides. His lustful nature is held back by Cliff, while Zanoba's love for sculpting and creation is something that fuels Rudeus's own passions. Rudeus is great at offensive magic, but Cliff actually has him beat in terms of support magic (detox, healing, barriers, etc). Rudeus physically isn't as powerful as the rest of the cast, whereas Zanoba was blessed with an extremely durable and powerful body.
"I like it when an isekai has Platonic friendships with other men" When Subaru carried Julius down the Staircase in Arc 6, and Reid looks down at them saying maybe not too late for that knight after all. Julius being one of Subaru's closest male friends was interesting considering how bad of a start they had. It's like what Otto, Garf, Julius, and then way down the line its Vincent and Roswaal fighting for second to last place in what Subaru considers a real friend.
Yeah, I didn't mention Julius given it's not a Re:Zero video so I didn't want to assume people would be OK with casual mentions to post anime stuff, but that is another friendship that ends up being really important. In arc 7 Flop could also have the potential to become that kind of character depending how major or minor Tappei wants to make him. The friendship between Reinhard, Julius and Felix is also a nice one.
Just a nice little suggestion.At 5:45 you mentioned a video of yours. It will be really helpful if u gave a link to videos mentioned in the descripton or comments. Thanks for the great work! Great video as always.
I really love Cliff, he is such an interesting character! You are absolutely right, he is such a twat in the beginning, but there is more to him. I mean, it takes a real man to be able to handle Elinalise and not feel all insecure. Another great point you make is that the characters develop, but their essential personalities don't change, which is one thing I absolutely love about this story.
Gdamn your final bit at the end about his character journey is remarkable. I couldn’t tell why I got to like him over time but he’s basically a reversal of Rudy’s flaws.
Thanks for the new video. Nice touch with the cherry blossoms. I love them! One of these days I'd love to see them in Japan. If you don't manage to make a video on your birthday then Happy birthday!
Being one who has only read the manga and seen the anime, your YT series on this series is truly enjoyable. Your author background enables to inform and entertain in an awesome way. :-)
Hi Nat!! Glad your continuing the Jobless Reincarnation stories and lore videos!! I still need to catch up on the Laplass readings you did, and can’t wait to figure out how that story ends!!
According to the light novel, it's Cliff's grandmother who is a halfling, not his mother. That makes him probably a... "quarter-halfling"? Instead of a "half-halfing", I guess.
@@ThalesBulhoes Here's the excerpt: Some time ago, a prelate of the Millis Church fell in love with a woman of the Halfling race. The woman bore him a son, and in time, that boy grew up and took a wife of his own. Cliff was this couple’s first and only child. At the time of Cliff’s birth, various factions within the church were engaged in a vicious power struggle. The violence cost both of his parents their lives. In order to keep Cliff at a safe distance from the conflict, his grandfather-the prelate-temporarily left him with the orphanage in Millishion. He proceeded to triumph over his enemies, take the papacy for his own, and bring Cliff back into his household.
I think one of the more substantial aspects of your videos in comparison to other content creators on UA-cam is the way you edit or rather lack of over editing. When I watch your videos I always get a complete paragraph with no apparent cuts. I get a disconnect when I watch a clip that chops up the natural flow of speech, I think because even when you don't speak you are sending a message to whomever you are engaged with. Anyway I hope you keep doing things this way.
Again thanks for another interesting and informative video in such a exilent way . At the beginning of the video you said that you gonna make a live streaming about Eris goblin slayer ova, I'm really really looking forward to that. Can't wait 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love Cliff and Zenoba so much. They add so much to the story to make it interesting. I think turning point 4 version of Cliff displays how loyal a friend he was to Rudy and it just made him so endearing to me.
Your videos are made really well. I also think you should create a playlist in chronological order for each series and add to it long term. You can make these in to vertices covering different topics
Honestly, no matter how much people go on about shorts on UA-cam, nobody I know who has tried them has had very good results from them (I have a couple on this channel, and they had very underwhelming performance too). I think some niches they just don't work in - most people watch anime analysis type stuff looking for fairly long, detailed videos they can put on, so unlike with channels doing sketch and meme type content, the shorts format doesn't seem to appeal to the same audience.
@@NatalieXHunter nahhh there’s a trick to it you have to play with the algorithm. So what you can do is you can look at the kinds of videos that’s are being played back at the current moment in your shorts section and check the feed to they vary a bit sometimes. You’ll see the video starting at the end, other times you might see the video sped up, you have tell your story’s in different styles.
Honestly, the kind of content I'd do for shorts would be quite different, my normal videos are usually about 20 minutes long so it's not like I can just speed run the stuff I talk about. I dabbled more in quick skit type stuff or quick fact videos for shorts but tbh that's not the kind of thing my main channel is about. The same is true for a lot of the other UA-camrs I know, so shorts didn't really work for any of us and we mainly just sort of left them alone!
He's supposed to look more like a priest than a butler in this picture, I think. There's nothing very butlery about how he acts, I wouldn't say, he doesn't have that 'smooth' feel to him.
One of my theories in regards to Elinalise's curse is that it isn't one. Or rather, it works due to her bones having magic circles carved into them to make her curse function.
Imagine if Cliff doesn’t get animated in the OVA. Would suck. Also Hitogami is basically like go find a flower and that will help you find a person lol. Cliff is more understanding than most guys out there. He kind of sounds like Despa from Ranking of Kings or some other narcissism type characters
Yes, it's here: discord.gg/z2UE5Pre - it's not very active at the moment because I haven't been doing much to promote it where I've been too busy to be on there much.
Can we plebs in the west get the Blu Ray set coming out? Like will it play on a regular blu ray player and have subtitles? I'd like to support studio Bind and have a high resolution copy of MT
I don't know about that actually - I'd assume it would play given I don't think Blu Rays are region locked but whether it would have English subtitles if you ordered the Japanese release idk. There's probably ways around that sort of thing if you research it but I wouldn't know where to find that information, I don't collect Blu Rays.
@@NatalieXHunter I'm sure there will be less reputable ways of obtaining a high res version but it'd be nice to support the studio, thanks for the insight nonetheless and great video!
"Starts out seeming like someone you couldn't possibly stand having around, but then grows into someone you really appreciate" Let's see... Rem Ram Garfiel Beatrice Subaru Probably other Re Zero characters, idk. Just saying, it's pretty obvious these two writers are friends.
@@thermophile1695 no no What im trying to say is that i expected all of them become a friend with subaru except garfield The garfield one really unexpected for me, i thought he was going to be the main villain or mini boss but it turned out becoming friend
Is there gonna be a sequel to the novels please tell me.. cuz im sad im nearly finish reading thats why i would like to know if theres gonna be next to those..
Yes, there is expected to be a sequel, which is likely to have Akihito as the protagonist. ETA if you've only read the web novel, you can also read Redundancy and Jobless Oblige for more - they tie up some of the loose ends for some characters and show more of what Rudeus' kids are like etc.
@@dyxo9416 season 2 spoiler: She does - but it has all kinds of asterisks to it. While all of them are enrolled at the U of Magic, Elinalise and Rudeus get a note from Geese that the mission to save Zenith is going horribly and they need help. Up to this point Cliff had been working on a prototype pair of panties that have magic circles imbued in them designed to suppress her curse - but the problem is at this point in time it would work for a few weeks before she'd have to have sex again. The issue - their university is in Ranoa, and the teleportation dungeon is in Begarit, a continent to the southeast that under normal travel circumstances is a year away (they ultimately found a way to get there in about a month). Cliff really couldn't go because he'd be dead weight on the trip, so he made a deal with her - on their journey she could do what she needed to do, and then when they returned they would get married - which is exactly what happened. Oh - and for the record, Elinalise never slept with Rudeus.
I really like cliff, i hope they portray him well in the anime being annoying at first but becoming a very nice friend afterwards, also, i wonder if the anime will include some scenes with him and Elinalise in bed, since they did with her and the random adventurers in both roxy episodes
Apparently Eris calls out to Cliff when Rudy is laying dead. Maybe there’s a few more minutes of content where we see more of Eris’s POV. I wouldn’t discount extra content in a few episodes or maybe an even less censored scene with Elinalise
Hasn't he met the beast girls, though? I thought they were the girls Eris was friends with. Also, that part at the end about character flaws was really cool. I think I just learned something important about writing, so thanks!
No, the beast girls he will meet at the university are related to those girls, but they're older and were already away at university when Rudeus was in the beast village.
Oh btw, Latreia comes from the verb latrevo in Greek, which means to worship, it's pronounced latreea (like the tree), e + i in Greek make a slightly longer e.
Wow I have never heard of anyone describing '3 way', as a friendship between men. LOL. As much as I like learning about Cliff I would like to hear more about Zenobia. The moment I saw the Moe haircut prince who was infatuated with Roxy's figurine I knew I would like him. He is such an otaku that I can't believe he isn't isekai'd into this world like Rudeus is. I am happy that he is out on adventures himself. I know he has immense (inhuman) strength but would like to know the reason for this. Just imagining a dorky looking otaku who has Juggernaut like strength is funny and I wonder how many people underestimate him.
I do have a video about Zanoba, but his strength doesn't really have an explanation beyond what we know when we first see him - he's a 'miko' or blessed child, which in this setting is someone born with basically a very specific superhuman ability. In his case it is super strength. It's basically random for someone to have one of these abilities, and very rare - we only see a small number of them in the whole series, so they're not really common like divine protections in Re:Zero, although they are otherwise fairly similar. The little girl in the Eris Goblin Slayer OVA is also a miko, but she has different abilities (she can read people's memories).
Mushoku Tensei has some of the best writing out of any LN ever written. It's not even debatable. I'd go as far as to say it's the Japanese Lord of the Rings.
I really love Cliff, I’ll admit too at first I didn’t like at first I found him really annoying and extra for no reason but as the story went on his shown to be more than that and is actually a very loyal and ride or die type of friend and is just that alone that made him to be one of my favourite characters, Also it’s so weird knowing that he and Eris end up together in previous timelines lol.
I like cliff he is a boss he turns Elinalise in to a true wife she was always a loving mother and grandmother just never given a chance and cliff is that 1 in the group how says guys this may be a bad idea but this do it anyway every group needs a cliff and he shows that Elinalise is more than just haha horrny elf but that her backstory actually has a lot pain and hurt not like i like i said haha horrny elf cliff and Elinalise relationship is adorable they actually love each other a lot
When you said Rudeus Hasn't met Lynia and Pursena yet, He literally did. Like hes the one that saved them from Smugglers, He was there with Eris and they clearly saw him. They even had a doll of him. Do they just not recognize each other? Will they recognize Eris? When they Recognize Eris will they recognize Rudeus?
No, that was their little sisters. Linia and Pursena are already away at university when Rudeus is at the beastman village - they're the next in line to become chiefs of the clans so are basically princesses.
I have just one protest about this part of the story. Why did Roxy sent Elinalise? I don't think, knowing Rudeus, that that would be a wise decision... The author put them together just because he had ED and would be funny.
It was basically that one of them had to go to Rudeus and one had to go to Paul. Elinalise really didn't want to see Paul, so that's kind of how it was justified. But yeah, it was also a funnier option.
@@NatalieXHunter Oh, that's right... And if you think about it, Roxy traveled the world looking for Rudeus family. I don't think I have 1 friend that would do that for me.
Nah, Elinalise wouldn't agree to have sex with him. She really doesn't want to be Paul's daughter-in-law if she can help it. Also, this world lacks contraception. So she will be trying everything possible to not have sex with Rudy.
@@brunoverasferreira6263 True, and she does get a fever during their journey to Sharia due to that. But, both were reluctant to treat the problem by doing the most obvious action.
You should do a Rinia and Pursena video next... I know they're not a huge part of the plot but it is interesting to see what could have been had Rudy married one etc, plus ... They are like two of my favorite characters....😬 Well, we all have our own fetishes 😻
"Cuzz I'm a genius" - Cliff "Ara. Of course. I know you are, love" - Lise "Get a room!" - Rudeus ------ On a side note, I've mentioned that I'm into Tensei shit a slime. I'm about halfway through volume 13 and I think I may have tripped into the WN stage (coupled with google translate). That aside, Tensei Slime is really bad writing, Fuze breaks all the authorship rules; like ALL of them. The anime is about the best version you'll get, and even then they couldn't separate Rimuru from his Mary Sewery. V3 was filled with drivel to "justify" a full volume; while V13 is just a steaming pile. If you want case studies in how not to write a fun story, I offer Tensei Slime, and Arifureta (the writing is almost as good as the anime CGI, and actually gets worse after the god dies); Pupil of the Wise Man, was another story that sucked, it sucked enough that I quit reading. If you want to study a good story written well, Mushoku Tensei, and... well, Overlord never kicked me off the page (aside from the sycophantry), so it wasn't bad. And while the anime went off the rail several times, So I'm a Spider, kept me reading with rare cursing at the author. Lots of info was cut from the anime, most notably why she was called the "Nightmare of the Labyrinth", when she was well below the levels that the humans traversed; namely a skill she picked up called fearbringer, which chased her prey to the upper levels and out of the labyrinth. There's a lot of bad writing out there. There's a lot of good stories that suffer under said bad writing. One thing that I've found amusingly consistent though, is the concept of "Hero". Whatever story they're in, these poor SOB's really get shafted in the character department, and nine times outta ten, they become the foil for the protagonist, because the protag is often considerably more realistic in their view of the world. Hell, Arifureta has the quintessential Hero, and he just can't catch a break; Hajima unwittingly takes all of his potential Harem (which he wouldn't have known what to do with) members, and posse; the only girl who remains tragically loyal to him, turns out to be a villain who's willing to kill him to keep him. Most important life lesson in all of this... Never... Ever... be a Japanese Hero.
Oh gawd... I finally managed to plow through v13 of tensei shit a slime. I've just started v14. I was hoping for something better, but it's just more word salad. I don't have the emotional investment to continue torturing myself with this crap. Think I might try... A realist hero say a kingdom. Or maybe Spirit Chronicles. Those two had decent anime.
Part way into the second volume of Realist Hero saves a Kingdom. I quit! Anime is a fun watch, but the Novel is bad writing. Spends way too much page time repeating who's who and what they look like, what they're wearing, and what they do. I think the three Dukes are Dukes, but I'm not sure.
There are things so much worse than goblins in Goblin Slayer but the Protagonist has P.T.S.D and I'm a bit surprised Ruijerd didn't find Eris and tell her the misunderstanding with Rudy but I guess Sylphiette wouldn't have a chance in that case and Zenith and Cliff could of had a mother son relationship if she could talk since she's also a follower of Millis
Hobbits are barely mentioned in the story, but typically as a fantasy race they do, and it is never mentioned that Cliff would have a longer than normal lifespan.
@@NatalieXHunter It seems from the origins of Tolkien's Concept it's 100 to 130 years, since Dwarfs and Elves seem to follow the same principle in the story I could assume it might go down that path, just thought it might be important because Cliff may take part in the sequel if thats the case.
@@DabDabGoose he’s only quarter halfling so he would more likely have a normal life span and maybe live between 80-100. Also elves live in MT for more than 100 years and more likely close to around 1000 years I think
Some of my favorite parts of the novels are when Rudy, Cliff and Zenoba are hanging out drinking lol. They are as great a trio as the 3 Musketeers and the 3 Stooges. I'm really looking forward to seeing them animated.
Same here!
I would love to see an OVA about the Nanahoshi doll fiasco. I was laughing almost nonstop when reading that character.
Happy birthday 🎂
I could see the dolls being a funny thing to put in if they ever add MT to Isekai Quartet tbh!
That would be seriously hilarious lmao.
And the side story where the wives and elinalise are drinking is hilarious too. Those two chapters were amazing.

Wow. The intro made me realize theat so many LNs dont even give their MC's a guy best friend. Zanoba and Cliff are honestly so well rounded and are amazingly great friends
I think because the author recognizes friends are needed also and not just a harem and to fulfill your hero fantasies as such
Definitely a favorite character

Imagine if Cliff doesn’t get animated in the OVA. Would suck. Also Hitogami is basically like go find a flower and that will help you find a person lol. Cliff is more understanding than most guys out there. He kind of sounds like Despa from Ranking of Kings or some other narcissism type characters
Hello Natalie i was wondering if you had your own discord server for the community?
Yes, it's here: discord.gg/z2UE5Pre - it's not very active at the moment because I haven't been doing much to promote it where I've been too busy to be on there much.
Can we plebs in the west get the Blu Ray set coming out? Like will it play on a regular blu ray player and have subtitles? I'd like to support studio Bind and have a high resolution copy of MT
I don't know about that actually - I'd assume it would play given I don't think Blu Rays are region locked but whether it would have English subtitles if you ordered the Japanese release idk. There's probably ways around that sort of thing if you research it but I wouldn't know where to find that information, I don't collect Blu Rays.
@@NatalieXHunter I'm sure there will be less reputable ways of obtaining a high res version but it'd be nice to support the studio, thanks for the insight nonetheless and great video!
I was meaning more that there may be a way of obtaining just the subtitle track and playing it over the Blu Ray, iykwim?
@@NatalieXHunter ohhhhhhhh yea good call!
There may well be something worse than Goblins, but... "the world being in danger isn't an excuse to let the goblins live."
LOL I'll agree with that haha!
Happy early BDay Nat :)
Oh cool, I hope you have a great Birthday.
Thanks! 😃
"Starts out seeming like someone you couldn't possibly stand having around, but then grows into someone you really appreciate"
Let's see...
Rem
Ram
Garfiel
Beatrice
Subaru
Probably other Re Zero characters, idk.
Just saying, it's pretty obvious these two writers are friends.
Tbh on the names you listed, only garfield deserve in that list in my opinion
@@testaccrun4830
If you didn't dislike Rem after she tortured Subaru for hours on nothing but a hunch, I don't know what to say.
@@thermophile1695 no no
What im trying to say is that i expected all of them become a friend with subaru except garfield
The garfield one really unexpected for me, i thought he was going to be the main villain or mini boss but it turned out becoming friend
@@testaccrun4830
Oh, okay. I thought you were saying that all the other characters were never unlikable.
@@thermophile1695 bro rem ranked #2 in my fav female chars
Hopefully season 2 comes soon.
Is there gonna be a sequel to the novels please tell me.. cuz im sad im nearly finish reading thats why i would like to know if theres gonna be next to those..
Finished reading and its very sad for me even though its a happy ending so please tell me if there gonna ne sequel..
Yes, there is expected to be a sequel, which is likely to have Akihito as the protagonist.
ETA if you've only read the web novel, you can also read Redundancy and Jobless Oblige for more - they tie up some of the loose ends for some characters and show more of what Rudeus' kids are like etc.
In one sentence… Cliff is the man that tames Elinalise. That alone makes the man a legend.
And I would feel a little sorry for the goblins in Goblin Slayer if there was a crossover.
Wait… you mean that she didn’t sleep with another man except him after he met her ??
@@dyxo9416 season 2 spoiler:
She does - but it has all kinds of asterisks to it. While all of them are enrolled at the U of Magic, Elinalise and Rudeus get a note from Geese that the mission to save Zenith is going horribly and they need help. Up to this point Cliff had been working on a prototype pair of panties that have magic circles imbued in them designed to suppress her curse - but the problem is at this point in time it would work for a few weeks before she'd have to have sex again. The issue - their university is in Ranoa, and the teleportation dungeon is in Begarit, a continent to the southeast that under normal travel circumstances is a year away (they ultimately found a way to get there in about a month). Cliff really couldn't go because he'd be dead weight on the trip, so he made a deal with her - on their journey she could do what she needed to do, and then when they returned they would get married - which is exactly what happened.
Oh - and for the record, Elinalise never slept with Rudeus.
@@jdoggivjc I guess it ended well between cliff and Elinalise in the end
Nah he's a cuck nothing respectable about that
I really like cliff, i hope they portray him well in the anime being annoying at first but becoming a very nice friend afterwards, also, i wonder if the anime will include some scenes with him and Elinalise in bed, since they did with her and the random adventurers in both roxy episodes
I love the neko look Natalie
Apparently Eris calls out to Cliff when Rudy is laying dead. Maybe there’s a few more minutes of content where we see more of Eris’s POV. I wouldn’t discount extra content in a few episodes or maybe an even less censored scene with Elinalise
I like how Cliff can be both a pompous brat and the manliest man in the story.
Hasn't he met the beast girls, though? I thought they were the girls Eris was friends with.
Also, that part at the end about character flaws was really cool. I think I just learned something important about writing, so thanks!
No, the beast girls he will meet at the university are related to those girls, but they're older and were already away at university when Rudeus was in the beast village.
His one of rudeus loyal friend including zanoba
Oh btw, Latreia comes from the verb latrevo in Greek, which means to worship, it's pronounced latreea (like the tree), e + i in Greek make a slightly longer e.
He’s really adorable looking
Yeah, Cliff is 100% what I think of when someone says 'short king'.
Happy birthday in advance 🎂🥳🥳🥳
The story is so well written ... I cant wait for Cliff and Rudy meeting is animated.. i laughed really hard!
Call out to the pregnant pause after threeway
Hated how he was in the Millis arc 21,got on my fking nerves but he was a great bro tbh
Hey! Are you trying imply Gracefeel isn't best girl?
Wow I have never heard of anyone describing '3 way', as a friendship between men. LOL. As much as I like learning about Cliff I would like to hear more about Zenobia. The moment I saw the Moe haircut prince who was infatuated with Roxy's figurine I knew I would like him. He is such an otaku that I can't believe he isn't isekai'd into this world like Rudeus is. I am happy that he is out on adventures himself. I know he has immense (inhuman) strength but would like to know the reason for this. Just imagining a dorky looking otaku who has Juggernaut like strength is funny and I wonder how many people underestimate him.
I do have a video about Zanoba, but his strength doesn't really have an explanation beyond what we know when we first see him - he's a 'miko' or blessed child, which in this setting is someone born with basically a very specific superhuman ability. In his case it is super strength. It's basically random for someone to have one of these abilities, and very rare - we only see a small number of them in the whole series, so they're not really common like divine protections in Re:Zero, although they are otherwise fairly similar. The little girl in the Eris Goblin Slayer OVA is also a miko, but she has different abilities (she can read people's memories).
@@NatalieXHunter I will be sure to check it out. :)
Mushoku Tensei has some of the best writing out of any LN ever written. It's not even debatable.
I'd go as far as to say it's the Japanese Lord of the Rings.
It's better than LoTR because LoTR has zero catgirl delinquents.
Factual.
Me waiting for cliff to be animated in the eris ova : :""")
Honestly he is such a dork. But he reminds me of a friend I have so its hard not to like him.
That uwu tho.
The ones that get you are the ones that you dont expect xd
My birthday is next week to HAPPY BIRTHDAY to us.
Happy birthday!
I really love Cliff, I’ll admit too at first I didn’t like at first I found him really annoying and extra for no reason but as the story went on his shown to be more than that and is actually a very loyal and ride or die type of friend and is just that alone that made him to be one of my favourite characters, Also it’s so weird knowing that he and Eris end up together in previous timelines lol.
I think your mistaken about Cliff ending up with Eris. Unless I'm misremembering it was Luke who would normally marry Eris.
@@lucasvanwijngaarden670 Oh yeah I remember now it was Luke I kept on mistaking the two thanks for reminding me
I like cliff he is a boss he turns Elinalise in to a true wife she was always a loving mother and grandmother just never given a chance and cliff is that 1 in the group how says guys this may be a bad idea but this do it anyway every group needs a cliff and he shows that Elinalise is more than just haha horrny elf but that her backstory actually has a lot pain and hurt not like i like i said haha horrny elf cliff and Elinalise relationship is adorable they actually love each other a lot
When you said Rudeus Hasn't met Lynia and Pursena yet, He literally did. Like hes the one that saved them from Smugglers, He was there with Eris and they clearly saw him. They even had a doll of him. Do they just not recognize each other? Will they recognize Eris? When they Recognize Eris will they recognize Rudeus?
No, that was their little sisters. Linia and Pursena are already away at university when Rudeus is at the beastman village - they're the next in line to become chiefs of the clans so are basically princesses.
hey nat whats your fav husbando and waifu?
Orsted for both haha!
@@NatalieXHunter ah come on, guess we will never know
Why you pause like that after you said three way I'm brain just shut off hearing that
.... Have a threeway...
Me : no way!
...life-long friendship
Me : oh so thats how it is
Ikr
i need your help pls how do i know i am not reading the webnovel
I don't really understand the question...
@@NatalieXHunter found the answer but thanKs😊
I have just one protest about this part of the story. Why did Roxy sent Elinalise? I don't think, knowing Rudeus, that that would be a wise decision... The author put them together just because he had ED and would be funny.
It was basically that one of them had to go to Rudeus and one had to go to Paul. Elinalise really didn't want to see Paul, so that's kind of how it was justified. But yeah, it was also a funnier option.
@@NatalieXHunter Oh, that's right... And if you think about it, Roxy traveled the world looking for Rudeus family. I don't think I have 1 friend that would do that for me.
Nah, Elinalise wouldn't agree to have sex with him. She really doesn't want to be Paul's daughter-in-law if she can help it. Also, this world lacks contraception. So she will be trying everything possible to not have sex with Rudy.
@@srikrishnabhat6793 she had to sleep with him on the same bed, while suffering from the effects of her curse.
@@brunoverasferreira6263 True, and she does get a fever during their journey to Sharia due to that. But, both were reluctant to treat the problem by doing the most obvious action.
Fun Fact Grimoire is an old term for spellbook
You should do a Rinia and Pursena video next... I know they're not a huge part of the plot but it is interesting to see what could have been had Rudy married one etc, plus ... They are like two of my favorite characters....😬 Well, we all have our own fetishes 😻
I like them too - espeicially during the university period where they're delinquents!
"Cuzz I'm a genius" - Cliff
"Ara. Of course. I know you are, love" - Lise
"Get a room!" - Rudeus

On a side note, I've mentioned that I'm into Tensei shit a slime. I'm about halfway through volume 13 and I think I may have tripped into the WN stage (coupled with google translate). That aside, Tensei Slime is really bad writing, Fuze breaks all the authorship rules; like ALL of them. The anime is about the best version you'll get, and even then they couldn't separate Rimuru from his Mary Sewery. V3 was filled with drivel to "justify" a full volume; while V13 is just a steaming pile.
If you want case studies in how not to write a fun story, I offer Tensei Slime, and Arifureta (the writing is almost as good as the anime CGI, and actually gets worse after the god dies); Pupil of the Wise Man, was another story that sucked, it sucked enough that I quit reading. If you want to study a good story written well, Mushoku Tensei, and... well, Overlord never kicked me off the page (aside from the sycophantry), so it wasn't bad.
And while the anime went off the rail several times, So I'm a Spider, kept me reading with rare cursing at the author. Lots of info was cut from the anime, most notably why she was called the "Nightmare of the Labyrinth", when she was well below the levels that the humans traversed; namely a skill she picked up called fearbringer, which chased her prey to the upper levels and out of the labyrinth.
There's a lot of bad writing out there. There's a lot of good stories that suffer under said bad writing. One thing that I've found amusingly consistent though, is the concept of "Hero". Whatever story they're in, these poor SOB's really get shafted in the character department, and nine times outta ten, they become the foil for the protagonist, because the protag is often considerably more realistic in their view of the world. Hell, Arifureta has the quintessential Hero, and he just can't catch a break; Hajima unwittingly takes all of his potential Harem (which he wouldn't have known what to do with) members, and posse; the only girl who remains tragically loyal to him, turns out to be a villain who's willing to kill him to keep him.
Most important life lesson in all of this... Never... Ever... be a Japanese Hero.
Oh gawd...
I finally managed to plow through v13 of tensei shit a slime. I've just started v14. I was hoping for something better, but it's just more word salad. I don't have the emotional investment to continue torturing myself with this crap.
Think I might try... A realist hero say a kingdom. Or maybe Spirit Chronicles. Those two had decent anime.
Part way into the second volume of Realist Hero saves a Kingdom. I quit! Anime is a fun watch, but the Novel is bad writing. Spends way too much page time repeating who's who and what they look like, what they're wearing, and what they do.
I think the three Dukes are Dukes, but I'm not sure.
There are things so much worse than goblins in Goblin Slayer but the Protagonist has P.T.S.D and I'm a bit surprised Ruijerd didn't find Eris and tell her the misunderstanding with Rudy but I guess Sylphiette wouldn't have a chance in that case and Zenith and Cliff could of had a mother son relationship if she could talk since she's also a follower of Millis
happy blated b day
Who is Cliff Grimoire? A guy who like's book ;) lol
All hail the algorithm.
Nya?
♥️
Shit someone else that live in Italy as well lets good!!!
Should say I am from Naples in Italy.
Cool! I live in Bologna, but I'm originally from the UK so I'm not actually Italian.
@@NatalieXHunter Oh I see, I am right now in the U.S in New Orleans its really great!!!
Do Hobbits really have Human lifespans, I don't remember this being explained in the story?
Hobbits are barely mentioned in the story, but typically as a fantasy race they do, and it is never mentioned that Cliff would have a longer than normal lifespan.
@@NatalieXHunter It seems from the origins of Tolkien's Concept it's 100 to 130 years, since Dwarfs and Elves seem to follow the same principle in the story I could assume it might go down that path, just thought it might be important because Cliff may take part in the sequel if thats the case.
@@DabDabGoose he’s only quarter halfling so he would more likely have a normal life span and maybe live between 80-100. Also elves live in MT for more than 100 years and more likely close to around 1000 years I think
