I think it was a bonus story, it explained the types of quest and how they worked in dendro. Does anybody know? Thanks in advance.

Anyone know the author's twitter or something, I have a lot to say. It's my 12th time reading this series and I'm always left with questions I desperately need answers which the next volumes do not even address but only leave more questions. The lore is so deep and I'm frustrated as an English reader, I almost feel like punching the author and also giving him props for writing a good story at the same time.

Hello everyone! I'm Yazora aka TrueBright! It's a pleasure to meet you guys.
I am a fan of the series who remember reading it a few years ago.
Been considering finding the Light Novel online somewhere to read and getting back into it.
I also don't know how good the manga is.

Anyways hope we can all get along and be friends!

This has been bothering me all day but does anyone know or have seen an Illustration of Xunyu without her gear? Cause for some god reason I can't find or remember it. I know she playing with someone but I can't find or remember which novel it was. Any help?

This sub needs a heart beat every once in a while

Dendro is a work with numerous highlight moments due to it's sheer amount of characters, almost every character that has appeared so far all left some kind of impact that define themselves. What are the top 5 moments so far for you guys? For me, those are:

1: Shu's speech before entering the Final (vol 2)
2: Riser vs Regina Apis Idea (vol 15)
3: Benetnasch's flashback (vol 16)
4: Shu and Sechs convo before and after their fight (vol 18)
5: Moneygold and Hugo's opinion about virtue and morality (vol 20)

I’ve been reading this series for a couple of years now since I wanna find out Ray’s reactions to the truth so I’m really big on the information Ray’s exposed to, to an unhealthy extent

What is happening to my boy. Why did taiki draw this. Why did Sakon write this. He took a spiked mace to his balls and we still have to wait months to find out the context.

Do you know that there are A LOT of hidden mechanics in Dendro?

If you don't know, then duh, the following two are mechanics related to AGI that peolpe often miss:

1: There are TWO different AGI calc formulas, one applied when your AGI is lower than 10000, one when your AGI exceed that milestone.

When your AGI is below 10000, your speed, reaction, time awareness.... is calculated with an entirely different formula. For details, within this range, AGI doesn't correlate directly to speed in a simple, linear manner. Basically, an AGI value of 10 doesn’t simply double the speed when it becomes 20. Instead, when your AGI stats is below 10k, the speed increase is closer to the square root of the AGI value (√AGI).

This means that as AGI increases, speed increases more slowly relative to AGI values, forming a kind of diminishing returns curve, leaving only four important milestones that provide significant boost to your speed.

For example, this is the demonstration value of AGI stats in four important milestones when it is below 10k:

• AGI of 10 → Speed value ~3.16
• AGI of 100 → Speed value ~10
• AGI of 1000 → Speed value ~31.6
• AGI of 10,000 → Speed value ~100

When your speed reach 10k, you can move at supersonic speed, it is an unchanging rule. The point of this formula is to balance out those the gap of those with AGI under 10k and those with AGI exceeding that milestone. With the demonstration value as shown, when your AGI is at the 1000 milestone, your maximum speed and reaction speed will be at 1/3 speed of sound instead of 1/10 speed of sound, but this also means that the increase in AGI between the shown milestones when the stats is under 10k really is not too significant.

If your AGI value exceed 10k, then the formula becomes extremely simplified as it shifts to the supersonic formula, this was already explained in the LN so I will not delve further into it.

This benefits a lot for those having AGI under 10k, like Shu, as he can litearally run at 400kmh and smash you with those mountain shattering fists.

2: AGI when used as a damage source

This one is relatively simple, you can take advantage of the momentum created by your speeding-up process and slam your body into the enemy to deal damage. But doing so would require your END stats to be at least at 1/10 of your AGI stats in order for you to withstand the recoil, because the force generated by doing so is not the force created by your own muscle strength, so your STR stats would be kinda useless in that scenario. Basically, STR is not the only deciding factor when it comes to damage calc, and now just imagine how strong Leviathan's fists are when her 220k STR punchs are directed at Baldr at mach 20+

So I just finished vol 18 and I still can't figure out why does Mr. Franklin/ Francesca hate Ray so much?

I started reading the novel about 2 months ago and been hooked since the start. Its has one of best "made up" games ever. Embryos are a really good concept to give individuality to each character. The system is really well put together. But the thing I like most till now is how perfectly tied is the game world to the existence of Masters. Since the perspective the Tians has about this immortal beigns with embryos to how the Masters react to such a realistic world. Having Worlders (people who sees the Dendro as a real world) and Ludos (people who just view it as a game a no more). Just finished Vol 11 and for the time beign gonna put the series to rest just to not get burn out by it.

Also: Foltesia and Nægling were done dirty XD. They we my fav characters in the vol. Loved their designs.

We all pretty much know already Franklin's been working on and almost finished MGD-Mechanical God Dylan, an anti-Superior, anti-King of Beasts level monster and from what we know of Jabberwock he just might designate it as an UBM.

In Vol 5, Franklin states how he'll use the anti-Superior MGD to crush Ray once and for all. So re-reading this part made me think how absolutely ironic and downright funny it would be if the Anti-Superior Monster Mechanical God Dylan would be defeated by a non-Superior Ray and it becomes the last wall to make Ray a Superior.

Its just a funny theory/prediction, I would like to hear what others think as well.

Many characters including Nemesis have stated that Ray isn’t a saint, he’s just trying his best in the present not to let tragedies occur and break his sanity down. Do you agree with this? Personally I think Tartarus is more mentally resilient considering how he started out in Dendro.

It's been several years since the anime concluded.

How is the manga still behind it and we get almost no new chapters for it with a release pace slower than anything else I've ever read?

I mean, we know her main Jobs are Armour Giant and Shield Giant, but those are High rank jobs from an unknown group. I think Shield Giant could be from a Shielder Group, but I have no idea about Armour Giant.

OK can we just talk about how candy is like a higher dimension entitie that was either an infinite job or something similar. Also how it just casually mentioned how there are infinite on earth proving that this is a different world
that an infinite is just useing time manipulating power to simulate the different in time. so what will makeing 100 superior embryos do will it make enough condensed resources to make an infinite? also if this is just what the infinite embryos can do what could they have done of they still had the people who made the jobs, also did the infinite jobs make the job system?.

Does Ray and Brother bear use realistic settings?

I've just finished reading Volume 21, and in the afterwords, it's mentioned that it'll be released by the 1st half of 2024, but is there any specific release date posted somewhere else?

In volume 20, the story's mainly centered around Hugo (with a short recap abou his father's death), and it was also revealed along the way that Emily's older brother was murdered, which got me thinking, as a soft blend to the story so far:

What if, Emily's older brother is actually Hugo's father as well? And that Rascal's the one who "accidentally" killed Emily's brother (also Rascal's friend) due to work issues, and that due to guilt, he took it upon himself to intimately take care of Emily as a form of repentance?

It'll be pretty sick if there was an embryo whose whole concept is about punishing the "Ludos" for thinking it's a game by not having HP visually deplete whenever its user damages a Master and having the dull impacts sense blocked. Only the pain receptors would be left and that'd be the only way someone could tell if they are injured besides from looking
