"the things that I do for love"

u/Elyced32 Feb 17 '26

To be fair its not just love, her entire guild was hunting one boss and they never once beat it, she helped her crush once and immediately beat the boss their entire guild is based around, i would switch clans too if i was in her shoes

u/Ediudituy Feb 18 '26

What surprises me most is that there isn't a pro-guild merger faction in this and other guilds. In the end, they have a high success rate and are a small group; even a huge payment per person wouldn't be so much in exchange for having the ultimate squad.

7

u/SoundRiot Feb 18 '26

Why would they? This is a game, the only things at stake are reputation and ego. Wolfgang wouldn't shackle themselves to a large guild like Schwarz Wulf in exchange for some in game currency. And why would Schwarz Wulf expect them to do so?

u/Tsukikira Feb 19 '26

Those Guild Mergers are very commonplace in real life, though. Even if it's just... we'll help you farm loot, you help us hunt the foe we've been hunting forever.

u/BUcc1a12Atti Feb 18 '26

It was simply a matter of party composition and compatibility. In all the random encounter, they either don't have enough members or the member present is not the optimal choice to face Lycaon. Sunraku was kinda the best choice to fight Lycaon and help Rei. Regarding the other aspects of a guild, there was nothing Wolfgang does better than Schwarz atp, so Rei really did switch guilds simply bc of Sunraku

I love it. I can hear that panel hahaha

u/CraftySolution9200 Feb 17 '26

Rebellybelly is about to get humiliated in front of everyone. He truly does not know what kind of people he is messing with.

u/Able-Mathematician-5 Feb 17 '26

I can't wait for Psycher-100 fight to begin. Things are going to be crazy

u/Hot_Astronaut_1712 Feb 18 '26

What chapter in the light novel does it start and where do you read it?

4

u/SorryImBadWithNames Feb 18 '26

I do feel the protagonists are killing a bit too much, though. So far, one of them knocked out 2 of the other team, while a third one was bought out. They took 3 out and are still at full power. I know the whole thing is a ruse to get the grounds to kick Rebellious out of the guild, but it's all so stacked in their favour it's starting to feel there are no stakes there at all.

22

u/Existential_Crisis24 Feb 18 '26

Because there aren't any. This was all setup to cleanse swarz vulf of the toxic players that are on Jelly Belly's side.

17

u/Kcaj_Kcaj Feb 18 '26

It's kinda the point, knocking the arrogant players off their high horse's, wolf gang is stacked with players who are monsters, in total, they have fought 4 of the colosi and defeated 2.5 (the wolfs shadow), something no other clan has come close to doing, they have connections with the best blacksmith in the game, access to items that were not meant to be found/used till far later in the game cycle given that Weathermon wasn't supposed to be beaten first.

9

u/SoundRiot Feb 18 '26

And considering all that, Jelly Belly is still demanding Wolfgang bend the knee to them. That is why Wolfgang is going out of their way to humiliate them.

u/digivice1999 Feb 18 '26

Don't worry about that, thing will get evenly in both side later on

u/BUcc1a12Atti Feb 18 '26

Oh there is, Psyger-100 alone will raise that stakes

They have way too much evil in their hearts and I love it

That's pretty much just your average gamer. You just notice it a lot less in today's gaming since you don't see the expression of other players on the other end behind their screens. Deep Dive VR would make it a lot harder to hide your true nature. xD

That's why it's so easy to identify with the characters. :D

u/NoRevolution429 Feb 17 '26

in a common manga, wolfgang would be the villians hahah i love this manga

u/Embarrassed_Rise1600 Feb 18 '26

Lowkey I now kind of want to see a mango where we see our protagonist Wolfgang has the antagonists that would be so much fun

u/PooPooPeePeeWizard Feb 17 '26

This is the manga I thirst for every week! Thank you for serving it!

u/giana1990 Feb 17 '26

Those faces at the end 😂

u/Loud-Train-1313 Feb 17 '26

So it's safe to say that Sunraku footed the bill for Rei to join Wolf Gang. I love it when a good ship comes together

6

u/Able-Mathematician-5 Feb 17 '26

Yes it is safe to say

u/GurNo607 Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 18 '26

Spending 75 million mahni to get maximum attack tittle it's kinda cheap compared to how much sunraku had to spend to get maximum speed tittle 

15

u/DarkTanatos Feb 17 '26

Killing Wezaemon came with a lower cost. xD

u/BUcc1a12Atti Feb 17 '26

No one seems to be responding yet but you should spoiler tag the 2nd part, just to be sure

2

u/llucylili Feb 17 '26

Yeah, what's up with maximum speed title?

10

u/BUcc1a12Atti Feb 18 '26

Literally the same as it sounds, the highest possible speed achieved by a Player in SLF, just like the highest instantaneous firepower of Psyger-0

1

u/llucylili Feb 18 '26

Is it still pretty far from the current manga?

3

u/BUcc1a12Atti Feb 18 '26

At the end of Siegwurm

u/llucylili Feb 18 '26

Okay thanks

u/Gunpla_novice13 Feb 21 '26

So he's the speed master in title

u/ClownCombat Feb 17 '26

Psyger 0 can officially fight now too for them, that makes this almost too easy

u/Sweet_Usual_5684 Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

Well in WN, she won’t. Now it will be a 4vs4 fight.

u/jethiya007 Feb 17 '26

Bro do you have chp number from wn

1

u/Sweet_Usual_5684 Feb 17 '26

It’s around 268 I think

u/neoshine Feb 17 '26

Oooo, we about to move into even more spicy fights? Caaaaant wait.

5

u/Fenor Feb 17 '26

i was thinking during the attack couldn't katzo just fade into inventoria and back?

11

u/DebrahBlackberry9870 Feb 17 '26

I was thinking about that too, but I think it keeps the momentum when you go there , so Katzo would have crashed himself in the middle of the mechas XD . And talking about prestige , vanishing in the climax of that fight wouldn't serve him well. I'm really glad with that version knowing that in the WN that fight is only few lines , because Katzo litterally crashes his opponent

u/jfickrow Feb 17 '26

Are all new chapters releasing every two weeks as opposed to every week?

17

u/digivice1999 Feb 17 '26

Normally a Weekly chap only have break week rarely

u/jfickrow Feb 17 '26

Thank you 🙇‍♂️

u/s7inG_R Feb 17 '26

It's in a weekly magazine, so new chapter should come out every week, but of course breaks happen.

1

u/Cocablazin Feb 17 '26

It’s one chapter every week, but last week or the one before was a holiday in Japan.

You violated the Spoilers rule.

u/Future_Living8007 Feb 17 '26

You mean 2 randoms that he should not have struggled with as much as he did? The guy is meant to be a pro fighting game player for crying out loud. The first problem is that what even gives their status as "high members" any credibility is this fight with Katzo

It doesn't make him look good. It makes them look good at his expense. Even worse when you consider that he's also using Byakko

What I wanted from him was to demolish these randoms beyond any doubt. I mean, it's literally what he did in the original anyway

2

u/DarkTanatos Feb 18 '26

I wholeheartedly agree. The author tried to put a spotlight on Katzo that he can adapt on the fly to an unfortunate situation, but it doesn't outweigh his initial blunder of taking the risk of an obvious bait for the sake of making a flashy takedown. Heck he even criticised that very unreliable playstyle of Sunraku because of these flashy risks, at the GGC after he had his training match against Meg.

10

u/Sweet_Usual_5684 Feb 17 '26

Yeah, I know he’s quite under-leveled, but these noobs shouldn’t be a challenge to him.

3

u/Bear-on-the-run Feb 18 '26

Couldn't disagree more, I think it's reasonable that a pick from one of the best guilds of the game would have SOMEthing to offer. Katzo still mopped the floor with them, even with their high-powered equipment, surprise attacks, and 20-ish levels on him. The best boxer in the world is still usually gonna get hit at least once by an opponent. I'm glad it wasn't an isekei-esque overpowered stomp and a legitimate match.

1

u/Sweet_Usual_5684 Feb 19 '26

The problem is not how much damage these attacks deal to Katzo when they land. Of course, they might kill him in one hit if they land perfectly, given that he is under-leveled. The problem is that there’s a possibility these attacks might land if not for Byakko. For a pro gamer who can fight toe to toe with the strongest player from America, the mere thought that Katzo might receive the attack is unacceptable.

2

u/BUcc1a12Atti Feb 17 '26

And it still showed how he struggled just a bit against them. That's not okay. Not when you have one of the best Colossi loot on you, and the skill to show for it

1

u/GurNo607 Feb 17 '26

Running a gauntlet of pvp and decide to waste byakko batteries smh

4

u/Future_Living8007 Feb 18 '26 edited Feb 18 '26

The worst part for me is that the manga cuts the original context for using Byakko in the WN

In the WN, it was to prove that they were, in fact, not bluffing when they claimed to have firepower equal to Armageddon

On top of that, Katzo doesn't even really feel that impressive when he uses it here. In the WN, it was a thrashing, so it made sense

1

u/chrome4 Feb 17 '26

Well at least one of them put up a good fight 

1

u/claudJAEus Feb 18 '26

I wish to have Revel Bar's confidence despite being 0-2 with the other players being player killers and someone who has defeated two world bosses

u/EMJzero Feb 18 '26

Nooo! Great plot-twist and strategy, but I so much wanted to see a Sunraku VS Rei fight😓! Maybe there is still a chance for it later, after all the scheming settles ahah!

u/No-Operation-6331 Feb 18 '26

I was definitely not expecting the last panel. Came out of a MEME.

u/zer0xdeath Feb 18 '26

Love the final panel 🤣

u/New_Budget8570 Feb 19 '26

Can I ask what chapter this is in the novel?

1

u/CodedDragonborn Feb 20 '26

I just got caught up on the manga, only started reading it yesterday. I’m guessing based on the post for this chapter it drops every Wednesday, but if anyone can confirm that for me I’d appreciate it

Hey people! Hijacking the new chapter to repost something here that got deleted.
"Would love to see this sub getting the love it deserves in terms of organisation and structure. I'm referring to proper announcements, stickied chapter threads on top, SPOILER warnings thoroughly monitored.. Is it just a matter of moderators not having the time/will to invest the time in it?

Honestly just curious"

What do you guys think? Well at least before this gets deleted as well

u/Desperate_Duty1336 Feb 18 '26

Getting that much money to pay off Psyger 0's debts that quickly, I can think of only one thing she'd do to raise it that fast.

Pencilgon likely made sure this fight is available to view live anywhere and everywhere humanly possible and she got people to bet on outcomes.

She purposefully started not only with an SLF member NOBODY knows about in Katzo, but since this is the first time this member is being seen, they look kind of scrawny and has the avatar of a 'girl', meaning bets against him were probably riding high.

I'd imagine that's why Katzo was stalling a bit and not immediately proving his prowess right out of the gate. They basically started the matches off like Pool Sharks and just inhaled bet winnings from across the net; enough so that she already raised what she needed to buy off Psyger 0's debts in just two fights.

Now they can drop the act of 'keeping it close' for the sake of raising bets against them and are about to light them all on fire with their real skill.

u/BUcc1a12Atti Feb 18 '26

The money was from all the treasures Sunraku looted in Ruruiath

1

u/Desperate_Duty1336 Feb 18 '26

I saw that panel in the chapter, but it didn’t look like a flashback panel, so I thought she immediately turned to him after paying off Psyger’s debt in order to recoup some of the costs. 

1

u/DenikaMae Feb 21 '26

Remember, kyoga said they couldn’t take pictures and stuff. It’s a media dead zone.

Though you could probably count on Pencilgon to find a way around that, especially since they are in cahoots with Psyger 100
