Some Pics Shot: [

Chapters :
Oneshot = Chapter One
Chapter Two

I read oneshot couple of months ago, someone linked it in one of the threads here.

So is that chapter two a restart or the story continues from the oneshot?

[Gokuyuske]

Yeah I read this oneshot a long time ago too. Didn't really like it that much. Looks like chapter 2 is a complete reset.

[Razh]

Figured as much. Might wanna edit it out, to avoid confusion.

[Warp Predator]

Before reading, I can only note that this is very ironic title.
More ironic would have been only Dragon X Quest.

[SpaceCowboy]

Well…
The art is good. I like how the monsters are drawn.
The "dark ages with modern stuff" setup is weird, I guess it´s just to make us "relate" to the main character in an easier way.
Normally i wpuldn´t be too interested, but I kind of want to see where the author is going with the character. I was expecting him to make some kind of statement about his objective or something, but that didn´t happen.
He wasn´t given a name right?

Also, some of the pictures you have there were not in the chapters.
Are they from untranslated chapters?

There is only 7 chapters out

@Razh:

the chapter 1 and the one shot are the same, and the chapter two is not a restart (the protagonist is still trolling until the chapter 4 or 5 )

[sausi00]

The first chapter reminded me of something, but it didn't hit until I read the second one.

It truly is done by the same guy who created "How I Stalked Some Dude with an Exposed Nipple and Stumbled Upon the Zenithian Sword".
It's pretty interesting, and the art is just my style, so i will probably keep reading it, thanks for the suggestion.

Chapter 7: http://bato.to/read/_/308449/monster-x-monster_ch7_by_capsusingshift

[Panekai]

I've been keeping up with this and his other manga. Very good stuff, didn't expect the story to go anywhere to be honest. Would really like to read the rest.

[The Spaceman]

It's not an wholly original idea to begin with, but isn't that word for word the premise of Attack on Titan?

[Kdom]

So the author quit the gag and parody manga to turn toward the classic nekketsu road. I don’t know if it is good or bad, it feels bit like a 180° turn. Though i guess what worked as a oneshot would dry fast as a serie.

it is not the first time that the author does this, in his previous work when he was an amateur, the protagonist was also a neet and became a hero: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=115546
And even though the hero is changing, there is still some gag moment and the hero has still his habit

@The:

Look more like Monster Hunter and Hunter X Hunter than AoT for me since the hunter were the one dominating the monster

Chapter 8 - Training?: http://bato.to/read/_/310335/monster-x-monster_ch8_by_capsusingshift

the master sure know his desciple very well

[sabret00the]

With the last chapter this series actually changed from simply being interesting to actually becoming good.

[No_bo_dy]

In the next chapter, the look of the MC change a bit even if he still has that thing on the top of his head

new chapter

http://bato.to/read/_/326725/monster-x-monster_ch11_by_capsusingshift

neet, world greatest, princess tsundere & hunting bro are a team now? my brain can't handle the amazingness

[sabret00the]

I expected more of a transformation. I get that I should be happy that he's the same character, but the finger up the nose constantly thing simply annoys me.

[spyda]

After reading Gintama for so many years I can't get annoyed/disgusted by seeing someone who is constantly picking his nose

[spyda]

new chapter

http://bato.to/read/_/334479/monster-x-monster_ch12_by_capsusingshift

tsundere gonna tsun'

[spyda]

so apparently the first part of this manga ended

i hope part 2 comes soon, let's us pray they don't pull a zetman on us

[Kdom]

Sorry no new chapter (i doubt there will be anymore) but a new one of how i stalked blablabla which i started a few weeks ago. The starting point is exactly the same and the humor too. Do some other people read it too ?

Aww? I remember reading that manga when it came out? Hopefully his other series will get more chapters due to it being online and crude. Thanks for the heads up?

[spyda]

I forgot to update this thread, there will be no continuation of this series, the mangaka said this on his twitter account a while back

but he will start working on a new project in spring

I read it, soooooooooooooo many manga Dragon Quest references, even the scanlators don't catch them all

it isn't new manga tho, he started like 6 year ago iirc

Yes but the translations are more recent and me reading them even more

[spyda]

new chapter

http://bato.to/reader#d845f0a409b8201b_1

Neet watched way too many romcom

[spyda]

chapter 14

http://bato.to/reader#e34a4270f03f42be

LMFAO Neet is one of the greatest shonen protagonists ever

btw, the mangaka will start a new manga called Shinobi Gataki on Ura Sunday next week

[Kdom]

The faces of the princess
But honestly it was a good idea

[spyda]

chapter 15

http://bato.to/reader#6c56c995c9b495f7

just the right balance between epicness & pervertness

next chapter will be the last chapter

[spyda]

the last chapter http://bato.to/reader#a5652391db66750b the end of the ride, very rushed & anticlimactic, the definition of an axed manga, let's hope Shinobi Gataki become a successful series

[Kdom]

The first chapter of his serie Shinobi Gataki has been scaned. It seems the hero is the serious kind this time
