Generelt sett føler jeg at tonen er hva som trekker denne ned. Der Elden Ring er inspirert av mørke, seriøse verdener som Berserk og a Song of Ice and Fire feiler denne adaptasjonen helt på å fange magien som denne verdenen bør ha. Det er rett og slett for tonedøft og det får meg til å slite på å tro på verdenen. Jeg føler dette hadde vært en Manga som hadde vært bedre om all teksten hadde vært borte som er litt trist. The fact that they made the main character a __player__, I don't know if it plays in favor of or against the manga. They break the 4th wall and make it clear that the tarnished main character is a player like us. He doesn't know why he's here and wants to "level up", etc., yet there's no indication that it's a game. I don't know how to feel about it, maybe it'll tie well with the game, but I'm sure it'll make people feel more immersed in some sense because it reflect actual player thoughts during the game. The story begins when Aseo, Tarnished wretch, finds himself cast out into Limgrave—naked. He is offered a deal by a mysterious girl, Melina, and decides to follow the guidance of grace to the Erdtree.

It's a __comedy__ manga. It featured a single real fight in 11 chapters and it basically lasted 2 pannels. Sure, the foundation of Elden Ring could probably lend itself fine to a straight manga adaptation, but where would the fun be in that? Communicating comprehensive lore is a job for a wiki; what we really enter the realm of Souls games for is to be screwed with. And The Road To The Erdtree is as enthusiastic about screwing with its main character, and thus the reader, as FromSoft's Game Of The Year was about messing with its players. Even if you're not a fan of this type of humor, you gotta respect the effort in making this world feel lived in and involved. However, I think this manga is best suited for people who have played the original game and are interested in something a little less serious.From Software's Action RPG "ELDEN RING" has been a huge hit with over 16.6 million units shipped worldwide and continues to attract more and more players. A gag manga "ELDEN RING The Road to the Erdtree", a unique interpretation of the world, will be serialized in the free web magazine “COMIC Hu” on September 4, 2022, with two stories published at once. This is the first comic of ELDEN RING. As it turns out, Aseo is an absolute fool. There are several jokes throughout that poke fun at the fact that he has little investment in intelligence stats, so Melina is always pushing to spend his precious runes on intelligence. Melina absolutely hates Aseo, and it's hard not to see why -- in addition to being an absolute dimwit, he's half-naked, wearing only the loincloth given to players that choose the appropriately named Wretch class. For starters. Illustrasjonene er faktisk så bra. Var derfor jeg endte opp med å kjøpe det etter å kun bla gjennom et par sider. Det fanger virkelig en del av The Lands Between og spesielt Limgrave.

I love Elden Ring. I've yet to beat it, but it's an incredibly expensive and well thought-out open world game. The lore is incredibly rich, so an adaptation that either follows the intended progression route of the game or maybe even a story that just happens to take place in the same world sounds like a great idea. If that is the book you were expecting to read like I was, please leave those expectations at the door because that is not this manga. If you want to get the updates about latest chapters, lets create an account and add ELDEN RING: The Road to the Erdtree to your bookmark.I'm deducting a few points because humor aside, I'm not entirely sure how well Road to the Erdtree will land with readers who aren't familiar with Elden Ring's lore and characters. Otherwise, this is a perfectly fine comedy that might be even better than a straightforward adaptation of the game. There's actual references to __gameplay strategy__ (i.e. using soap consummable) and __building your character__ (building strength or int).
