I fine with the "no entertainment"-trope, really, its just a way to fluff things a bit up and so, its okay, but really... dont know Japanese anything else then reversi? Sure, its easy, but so are many other games, and it really is ALWAYS reversi xD

Edited for clarification.

That caught my attention as an exploitable loophole. A larger company could make production impossible for a smaller one through various means and try to wait them out. They wouldn't get a monopoly on the product from this, but they'd still be able to take a huge share of the market for the item in question due to their resources and what not.

Raws are out! Why no updates ?😱

come to capital to show yourself? you show yourself more than enough the reward you got = rip freedom
why am i wasting time reread this while still have a ton of manga unread

wtf no superior Japanese shogi??

Let the games begin!

Why not introduce Theatres? I'm sure that'll be somewhat easy to make. I mean, you can use dancers, music, magic shows, gladiatorshows and so-on, and lateron when you have actual actors, you can use them too.

thanks for the update!

Oo, so it enters Public Domain after 3 years of inactivity?

@gregluck Indeed, lol. Not to mention the isekai genre itself tends to be incredibly derivative.

it's always Othello , which kinda makes sense seeing how easy it is to make but it seems like a stable next to finding rice in these kinds of manga

I don’t understand why I’m still reading this. This is the kind of isekai I dislike the most.

By someone's will we need to wait for 4 months again to read haha

the whole merchant god idea is very stupid.
bringing and old game from previous world, to spread it in new world, by monopolizing the trade and production.
very contradictive, show how the author love of plagiarizing others, but hate when others plagiarize his works.

From the raw it looks like next chapter will be spicy

he will be an immortal, ... with author's will.

@Jeirien i think it's chapter 5 or 6 when he shows us that he had created the spell "world dictionary" that allows him so research for any information about anything from this world and the previous one. So yes, he could had created any game from his previous world but perhaps the author likes to lick his country's foot or something

@stal2walk The manga raws say white gold coins so yes, it's just a mistranslation/lazy translation.
Also a quick FYI, One platinum coin = 10 gold coins = 10 million yen = 90,000 USD (or 100k rounded). So the king basically gave him 1 million USD. Don't remember if this conversion was mentioned in the manga.

@WhimsiCat @maffo666 The 10% is indeed sales tax, but the last 20% isn't exactly profit.

The actual breakdown should be:

"Ideas portion/fee" (you can think of it as royalties, although it's technically more nuanced than that): 20%
Sales Tax: 10%
Cost of materials: 30%
Shipping and Transportation costs: 20%
Company operations cost: 20%

So that last 20% isn't exactly straight profit for the company, since that 20% portion would include stuff like the cost of labor and overhead. This means the total "Production Cost" of the boards would be 50%. I assume the "company profits" would have to be cut out of 20% operation costs; or the company doesn't really make a profit at all (workers would still get paid with operation costs of course).

PS: I give the TL a slight pass on the percentages mistranslation since they are hard to read, but omitting the white gold/platinum coin part is just laziness.

Welp, no surprise here.
Though I expected shogi.
At least try card games.

page 8
he's got 10 white gold coin(platinum?) from king not 10 gold coin
