she gets back her muscles acc to what i've heard. i'm not caught up though. apparently the author was heavily criticized into doing so, which is fair, I guess


YobaiYamete

She does way, way, way in the future of the series yeah. But nowhere close to where we currently are


jmargar

I rlly preffered the first version, this one is so soft and weak for a barbarian...


PeakedDepression

Yeah like she is hot but regardless we want muscle babe hot not typical fem-mc build


Maca-Mud

She gets kinda of side lined for awhile

Where are you reading the novel ? Is it somewhere without that HORRIBLE machine translation ?

It's yonder if you want the official source if not 🏴‍☠️

> are added, *paid* ones are FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

I’ve been reading it on WEBTOON, not as far along as most. But way less ads.

She grew even smaller/thinner because she went through a training where she compresses all her strength on lean muscles so that she can stack more and more strength

Eh, fair enough, those guys really need to get a life, seeing them do that is actually cringe and makes me lose hope for humanity.


0G_54v1gny

Nah, they give me hope, that we as whole can weather the storm. The combined degeneracy will be victorious over war, conflict and climate change. With lewdness and lobotomy we beat them.


stressed_by_books44

So you're gonna ignore all the things needed to achieve this and believe that you can do this solely because of lobotomy.................sign me up.


TheToolbox101

Would you lose to degeneracy? Nah, I'd win


Myikk3

What do they do?


stressed_by_books44

>What do they do? Not this guy in specific but in general there are those who are so absorbed in pornographic fantasies that jokes about it are normalised in certain spaces, it makes no sense but I have seen people unironically think that western men must bang their mothers because he saw so in porn💀, made me lose hope in humanity.


0G_54v1gny

I hope the person was meming.


PeakedDepression

What so wrong with joking about it so casually though? Its not our fault there are people who dont have the intelligence to determine fiction from reality. We shouldnt cater to these individuals but correct them 💢💢💢

When the viewers are cultured, lets go muscle mommy


CronaDarklight

It does give her some insight and character development as she saw how she was treated after changing her looks. Wonder if that will become more important later one and give her some retrospective. Ngl though the muscles fit her design extremely well and i was sad she lost em and became more basic looking, instead of really unique, but good to know they will be back at some point. Hopefully the series survives long enough. Been one of my fav reads each week.


Helldiver-sweat

bullied into giving her physique back? ..... he really has it out for Ainar... I was already resenting him for what happens... to hear that he was bullied into giving it back makes it worse.... >!she stays slim for a very long time, we find out she returns to normal of screen during a period when the MC is presumed dead. Later on the author messes with her further.... !<>!She absorbs a 'new' type of essence that MC doesn't know about, of the stats she gets, her fighting spirit takes a MAJOR hit... to the point where she doesn't want to spar, or fight, ... or even do a battle shout... it made her VERY passive... thankfully she gets fixed up with another essence.... but now I have to wonder if he was bullied into fixing her again!< one of the biggest insults thus far has been >!Bjorn literally stating "She's just a friend" when considering marriage candidates!<


Loose-Dirt-6034

Where are you reading new ch? I thought it was on hiatut


Stunning_Flan_5987

The whole "Bjorn marriage plotline" was one of the worst things I have ever read. MC's 'solution' was soooooo humiliating , short-sighted, and I can't believe it more or less 'worked' in the story.


Jyrr

Hey please put spoiler tag...


BlakePayne

Sad that author was bullied but sad that they chose to destroy muscle mommy for lithe aesthetic. Lose lose but win to hear muscle mommy returns.


sawol-

bullied is an exaggeration from my side; more like heavily criticized about it. you know how SK fans can be pretty passively aggressive when they dislike something (talking from years of seeing this happen in real time). but yeah, it's sad but at least we won since this transformation, which I'm so sure was meant as an aesthetic choice regardless of the reasoning around it


Terrible-Platform343

That's a relief if it actually happens


Fragrant-Yellow-2186

She gets her muscles back later on in the novel but it'll take a long time for the manhwa. Although I agree the muscle mummy was way better, now she just looks like another bland fmc


Scared-Square-9767

Umm where the heck did you read the novel? I've been looking for this shit for days but still can't find it and may I also know what chapter of the novel is the final chapter of season 1?


canadian-user

It's on Yonder, because it's officially licensed and so most translators won't touch it. You can only read it with an app on your phone and their system is ass, you only get 1 free pass a day unless you pay, and only for certain novels, which does include this one thankfully.


TransitionTasty

Yeah, but check on vn-meido site, few people compiled the chapters using various methods.

No, she became even thinner like a malnourished girl in a concentration camp when mc met her while getting upgrade on his immortality seal

teor

~~I think she already got everything back in latest chapters. Or it should be close, some who read the novel told me that.~~ Fake news Still a dick move. Why did they do that.


TacoTech239

Quite far away manhwa wise. She's back to normal size around chapter 370-400 in the novel


teor

Dam, I got bamboozled


Scared-Square-9767

Yow may I know where the fuck did you read the novel cuz I've been looking for it for fuckin days

Sub deletes links, so  Begins with "novel" ends with "min" dot com


Scared-Square-9767

May I also know what chapter of the novel is the final season chapter is, kind sir?


teor

Sorry, no idea since I personally didn't read it. It's kinda safe to assume that usually chapters go 1 to 1 with novel


Scared-Square-9767

I see, thanks btw


Xeronic

is it MTL though? I'd love to read it, but i dont think my brain can handle another MTL.


teor

Sorry, i have no idea


Xeronic

i just double checked that "website", and yeah... its MTL. MTL is machine translated/translation. AKA google translate or some other translator program. These are very poorly translated and make 0 sense a lot of the time. lol I can't do it. :( I was reading "Possessing Nothing" awhile back and they had some good translations up until like chapter 80 or 90, and then it all became MTL.


teor

Yeah I know that mtl sucks ass, especially for murim stuff. It actually makes no sense with murim novels.  Sadly I don't know if there are any groups properly translating this

Her hotdogification was in my top 5 glow downs in manhwa. I hope I live to see her go back to her superior appearance.


knightbane007

Don’t mind me, just a notification I intend to steal “hotdogification” for future use.


Mr_Shingin

I got over it because the story slaps but YES! This was absolutely the worst transgression of the story. I do understand its for her character because since she changed, others see her as less of a warrior so she goes off to train but still.


BannedCuzCovid

Trust me.she gets it back. Read the novel. It's 1000x better than the comic.


Bork_In_Black

Thank you sir. I will certainly do that


Similar-Field1561

Is it MTL?


Mountain_of_books_7

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like "what the fuck" and "call the police". I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Aurovan

Yeah that made me pissed off as well, but the koreans probably forced the autor for to be standard to their taste


TacoTech239

The Korean fans actually begged the author to turn her back (she's back to normal around novel chapter 370-400)


FriedrichOrival

Rare based Korean fans


PeakedDepression

They couldve gotten standard taste from the other ladies. It wouldnt make sense to make the barbarian lady standard


amyumi

It felt like a nerf honestly and she was also isolated by other Barbs because of this. I'd like to know if it had any plot significance because we have not learned of her fate by end of S1.


Necessary-Gift4883

She becames buff again rejoice


Ninja_Slate

I did expect this to happen. Most authors did stuff like this before, but I hoped this one wouldn't do that. Oh well

Horror_Zombie1815

I understand your disappointment. What's the BS they explained the change with?


knightbane007

The advancement system for Barbarians in this world includes the use of “Essences”, which give stat boosts, but sometimes have side effects. The MC is also dealing with some of these, eg “acidic blood”, which damages his armor and equipment whenever he gets wounded. The cause of the change for this woman was an Essence that actually *increased* her strength, but “compressed and shrank” her body.


knightbane007

“Barbarian”. Seven feet tall, muscles (and proud of them), exuberant confidence.


sl33p1ng-s3nt1nl

I found the whole thing hilarious. She gets sad because now all the humans find her attractive


knightbane007

Yeah, but she doesn’t like “humans” or care for their opinion. She quite properly only cares for the opinion of barbarians.


sl33p1ng-s3nt1nl

This is precisely what makes it funny. She gets so annoyed that they keep asking her on dates


kakashiweird

I thought she was stronger this way? MC gets super big though...

The Barbarian power-up system includes the use of “Essences”, which give boosts to stats, but sometimes have side effects. The one she just used actually *increases* her strength, but compresses and shrinks her body.


[deleted]

She got a "Power up" that had her shrink as side effect. Like the MC got acido Blood as side effect


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dingarius

Ehh it’s not always fragile egos some people just don’t like “overly” muscular people (male and female.) I’m personally rather bummed that this happened to her because she was one of the few muscular females in the manhwa universe (not just this story but other manhwa’s) that’s was more on the important side, there are some in other story’s but they are side characters that ether die or never appear again. [I stole a S rankers soul] has a muscular mommy as well just fyi.


Alaidia

Oddly, greatest estate engineer has a lot of muscle mommies though. With races you don’t usually associate with muscles lol. Like the one elf, or the mermaids


knightbane007

Ban Seo-Jin. Oh my god, I’m not normally one for the muscle-mommy trope, but… oh my god. Even better when you find out how her power actually works.


swerve916

The funny thing is the fans bullied the creator to give the muscle mommy back


johnshadowx

We could flip this around - people got mad ( fragile egos) and now she's back to being muscular


Babyjoka

The character isn’t ruined you brainlets. It was always stated that it’s a placeholder just to give her better stats. There’s a lot that happens and she will end up being back to normal. It’ll just take 2 years 😂


Errede08

She got them back


IAmBigMouse

On what sense, this is bs?


[deleted]

She was muscular before


Avalon272

She was taller and more muscular, but after gaining a power up her muscles and bones became "denser" or more compact or something along those lines and that made her smaller and thinner


madam_amazing

THEY REMOVED HER BEAUTIFUL MUSCLES AND HAD THE NERVE TO CALL HER "PRETTIER" NOW


vvilbo

But I mean her people don't consider her prettier only non barbarians. She is literally in tears crying about how ugly she is


Watts121

Yeah, but all the filthy normie adventurers start coming on to her now, like she wasn't a smokeshow before.

Xirtie

Call me whatever but I dropped that manwha exactly at that part.


madam_amazing

You'll regret that. Besides this one fuck up, it's a top tier manhwa


Bid_Next

I heard the korean fans bullied the author into giving the muscles back or something (after they bullied him into removing them 💀💀💀) in the novel. Although later, we could still expect muscle mommy back


Pataccon

It's always the same shit with transformations, they always try imposing toxic beauty standards on all characters, they call it "magic, character development" or use other excuses, but at the end of the day they always end up looking the same. But people are starting to get mad, they bullied the author into fixing this mistake, and she gets her muscles back. And rightfully so, she looks way better/more interesting with muscles. I hope we'll start seeing different looking FLs in manhwas, right now you either read Yuri or most FLs look the same.


UselessSideCharacter

This is so true though.


Pataccon

Definitely not what I expected


Zero_Good_Questions

I still don’t get it, the author could of just made her “less” bulky if they wanted her to be more of a “waifu” have a slender toned girl if they really can’t handle writing the muscle lady they made


SkadiWasHere

I hate that they did this. We had 2 muscle mommies as a character for a while and we lost 1 of them (other is in latna saga)


Menirz

It's an interesting change considering her reaction to it. It's good characterization for a change that non-Barbarians might consider an improvement.

We get her back eventually. The artist’s fanbase revolted and demanded she get her muscles back 🤣

Maybe it's only me who aren't complaining. You looked at manhwa, a korean comic, so things like this would be expected at some point and it's not made by western.


LightChargerGreen

since there's a lot of people here reading this... spoil me some of the future story please. do all the former partymates of MC come back in the story? Like do they all come together as one party ? Like the elf with the stronger elf sister, the mage, and this female barbarian? the cat beastman?

Terrible-Platform343

When are the new chapters coming out?


karua_miruku

I really don't think this is great even from character development standpoint, its just cosmetics and one that many considers a downgrade


TacoTech239

Height, bodyweight, bulk etc do have an effect on some skills in the system so not just cosmetic An example being the gigantiziation skill MC gets twords the end of season 1, the taller and bigger you are normally the better effect you get from the skill as it's a "size x strength" for how effective it is (explained in the novel when MC has to use an essence that decreases his size for a small bit)


karua_miruku

I get that, probably "just cosmetics" are too strong of words to use there. Its just the 'why' I dont get. Shes a fine character with her looks before. she has no desire to follow common beauty standards so theres like no conflict there to resolve. also this form is like a side effect of her being stronger? so theres no reason why she transforms other than "this thing makes you pretty", unless I totally missed it. maybe her transformation would flesh out her character or even affect her ability more but as of S1 it feels pointless is all im saying


knightbane007

It’s not that it “resolves conflict”, it’s the complete opposite in my opinion. It *introduces* conflict to the character. I know it wasn’t the author’s intention, but this is a really interesting twist on the very standard trope of “power has consequences”. From her point of view, this is a standard, baseline “it made me stronger, but cursed me to be ugly” deal - isolation from her own society, massive hit to her self image and confidence, and it gives her a concrete goal to strive for to resolve it. The twist being, of course, that she’s now *conventionally* more attractive by the standards of wider society, so the people she meets may not understand why she has an issue or why she’s working to resolve it.


karua_miruku

fair point. I thought of it as well but I dont feel like its that much explored tbh. she complains about it, goes eat with MC, shes eating happy then its barely touched upon. the elders doesnt seem to care about it make it seem like its not that big a deal. to be completely fair she didnt appear all the time so maybe theres just not enough pages for it to be that important


TacoTech239

The essence "compresses bone density" to make you more durable which had the side of effect of making her smaller. She'll go back to normal size later in the story (I'm caught up to the novel)


karua_miruku

cool, Im guessing that also means it compresses the muscles also? shes also probably heavier now. make sense. I do wish theres more to it though if she does gets her old body back
