Afterword

The year is 2020. Volume 12 of Lazy Dungeon Master has finally been released. That’s a whole dungeon! But it was so long, I only have one page for the afterword. That’s not good. I have so much to say since I wrote like 99% of this volume from scratch, but there’s just no space. I’ll have to cram in letters without using too many line breaks. Thank you for reading, everyone.

Okay, let’s cut straight to some deep lore. The LN is conflicting with the WN more and more, but this time I introduced a new character: Count Lodol. I asked my disciple Takenoko (author of “Genocide Online”) for an idea here. Special thanks to him. I would expect nothing less from my disciple. His nickname is Mr. Fanletter. His fanletter for Volume 11 was so heavy the post office wouldn’t send it. Very impressive.

Anyway, Alca the High Priestess of the Church of Light appeared in this volume. She and other side heroines are getting increasingly significant roles to play, which is making a big mess for Keima. Man, there sure are a lot of heroines now, huh? If Keima was a bit more loose with using his Dungeon Master powers, this would be a straight-up smut novel by this point.

There was a popularity poll the other day, with talented people helping. The results were Niku in first with Rokuko in third. Just imagine what the Ivory Goddess’s face would look like if she saw that. Though if you included Big Rokuko and Loli Rokuko’s votes, she would be in first. That was what led to the Japanese store pre-order bonuses for this volume being what they are, at the editor’s request. Big and Little Rokuko got their time to shine, plus Niku. Oh, that’s all the space I have. See you next volume!

Notes From the Translator

Hello all. At the time of me writing this (8/18/2020) the entire LDM series has undergone a small but significant translation update, bringing old volumes up to some style standards of the modern volumes, plus updating/fixing some terms. Short-term, this will be a bit jarring and I apologize, but long-term, the series will benefit significantly. The three main changes are below.

Divine Futon → Divine Comforter

Church of Lux → Church of Light

{Trinity} → {Treaty}

My apologies and thank you for your understanding.
