Zog, stop messing with us by changing times every week, just pick a release time and stick to it dang. I’m here waiting and there is nothing

Michael

Damn I saved up for 2 weeks. I gobbled these chapters in 2 days :(

Almer Reyhan

Seeing as this will be my first Zogarth comment, I will fully spell out Thanks for the Chapter! I can only imagine the repeated typo of “seeming me” is “seeming meek”

Platnum

I cannot express how into this new adventure Jake is on. Don't get me wrong, I loved Nevermore, I loved him being at the Order, the Yip of Yore and El'Akkan stuff was probably a few books too long but I thought it was great how it all wrapped up. I was really sad he kind of made Vespidia and then just set her loose in the universe and that's it, I do get the impression from the interludes that more will happen with them later, but seeing Jake stumble into new things, meet new races love all that. Everytime a chapter pops up right now I have a big smile on my face that we get to hang out with frog people. I'm also super happy most of them are SUPER strong, Jake was starting to feel very 'big fish little pond' even though the Multiverse is so crazy huge. Jake being a celebrity got tiring as much as Jake found it tiring. Thanks for the chapter!

Daniel McConville

Nice 😁 Tyftc 🍻

JW Saxby

ABTelford

I would like to propose the following schedule for posts: Zoggy should strictly adhere to a schedule of posting a chapter 5 minutes before I have time to read one. i'm sure many of you would approve of this schedule as I am old and don't sleep much and am known to read occasionally at work. all in favor say, "aye"

brjenness

I think the biggest factor will be how many interesting things zog can come up with.

brjenness

Quick question each grade is taking always more chapters. If you continue the trend S grade is going to end up being as long as rest of the series. On one hand I am looking forward to it since i love the series on other i dread the fact its going to take at least another 5 years to see Jake become a god. So is the trend that each grade requires more chapters than previous confirmed?

IgnisGlace

It does have meaning outside of the Malefic skill set. 😉

ABTelford

I agree - super thanks with a cherry on top! ❤️

ABTelford

That’s a good theory. In that case Jake may be able to take a B grade froggy-man with him when he leaves. That could be an awesome addition to the administrative competition!

ABTelford

I think there is more to it with the Venusians not being able to leave there minor world because it hadn't been "connected" yet. If he is right and it's not counted as part of the 93rd universe then the system itself is regulating there exit. It could of been connected from the initial integration but because there grades were much higher then the inhabitants of the universe it's restricting there access much like it has been doing for everyone outside of the 93rd universe. Where they can't enter until a minimum threshold has been reached by those who reside in the 93rd universe.

Xerecs

It would be hilarious if his old Alchemist Purification could have cleaned up this whole bog, but now it would just make everything explode

Josie

Didn't the shaman, just say "Palate" ?

Bjarne Hansen

Will anti-toxins/cleanse/purify kill bog monsters or venusians in general?

brjenness

Yousa thinkin dis story not good enough!? Begone with you!

David

Tftc Zog! Know you've been sick but still pushed these out all week, so extra thanks are in order!

ZanSanCho

I think he might be a young teen now, last time we saw him he was like 8 or something, I don't remember how much time Jake took in the pantheon of life, preparation to B grade and then test his new profession, I believe it's been like at least 4 to 5 years, there's also the fact that Caleb's family left exploring the multiverse a bit, so we can imagine that it's a preparation in a kind for Adam to have opened eyes to choose a path now that he might have matured a bit

EmmericH.

I wonder when will the Dark Queen show up?

Razeel Nightfall

Can’t wait for Jake to activate Heretic-Chosen’s Invocation at the inevitable meeting between all of the high Vesuvians 😂

Colin

Nah Zac would rather have undead coffee. Jake might like beer more though

Corvid

Thank you for the chapter

joel southard

The System is a glorious place where all spiders cease to exist upon integration 😬

Josie

Wait how old is Adam or Caleb’s son think about it when we see him before the system event he’s like 10 he still plays with toy fire truck and stuff like that so how old is he cause Caleb’s wife was pregnant with him during the toutrial isn’t he like ten or younger so it’s only been like 10 years real time

Bob Fight

Zog 10/10 on the Venus arc so far. No unnecessary fluff but still got your high quality polish. Unrelated question, I recently noticed that all of the unique life forms we’ve met so far from what I could tell have been “male” or at least referred to as male. Will we see any more feminine unique life forms or do they tend to take on more masculine traits due to their natures as unique life forms? Is it something that’s determined by their unique paths? Final question I’ve had lately is about spiders. We haven’t heard much about what kind of creature they are in this universe. I don’t imagine they would be apart of the endless empire though maybe they are. As usual thanks for the hard work you put in Zog, have a good one.

Takoda Heitz

Tea seems to be an odd drink wouldnt zac be more concerned if they had beer or not?

Raymond Whitehead

Devillelouch

How could they, having been apparently cut off from the multiverse for the entirety of their world's existence?

Kota

Zogster, Zogster, bo-bogster Banana-fana fo-frogster Fee-fi-mo mogster Zogster! What the heck is "seeming incredibly me" supposed to mean? 😅 Also, glad you're feeling better and thank you for the chapters

Josie

Villy and Jake might get quite the quite the "finders" bonus from introducing some gods to the people of this minor world.

Christopher Jones

When they learn who they've been dealing with.. they're gonna croak 🐸

Josie

Well, lots unique toxic goodies to sample. Now the real question is are there mushrooms 🍄 🤔

khielira

Wanna bet it’s mushroom tea? 😄

ABTelford

Haha! I hadn’t thought of that! Oh my goodness, the surprise they’re gonna get when they meet a normal human. 😄

ABTelford

So next weeks gonna be all cliffhangers then cause you gave us a decent end to the week you never do that

Bob Fight

I kinda hope he mentions he’s a high ranking member of a big organization - a big school that focuses on alchemy. Then much later they’ll learn the full truth and be awed by him humility! 😄 which Jake does not have!

ABTelford

And yes I know there is a difference between toads and frogs. But does Jake?

VirtSecurity

I keep thinking of the Disney character Mr. Toad. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride and then somehow mentally crossing over having tea with Mr. Toad and it including the Alice in Wonderland Mat Hatter’s Tea Party.

VirtSecurity

.... he's still wearing his mask, isn't he? "There's no doubt I'm human" says special boy with yellow beast eyes who's covered in snake scales and wearing the face of a Unique Lifeform 🤦‍♀️

Josie

Don't forget excitement. If the progress of your path has been bottle necked due to your location and you learn that you can leave, you're going to be really excited by the opportunity to grow in power again.

mucky 12

Quite the enlightening conversation and enjoyable chapter. And I predict lots of mushrooms on offer! Mushroom tea, mushroom stew, mushroom salad, mushroom bread. 😄.

ABTelford

we like that they have tea too

Jansemon

Best week for us readers in a while imo, thanks Zog for pushing through your pain to make us happy. We love you

Fylbrom

Jake heard their accent was british and then hoped for them having tea

Jansemon

Are they teenagers?😆

Ray Light

I guess non of them went to nevermore?

Loving this Venus frog arc

I literally hope that the journey never ends

Rewdan

Thanks Zogarth it’s been a great weeks reading.

Rewdan

Something seems off

beeve

No cliffhanger?

beeve

More of a snake drink

Carl Never

TEAA!!!!! But, do they have beer?

SinCinnamon

Tyftc!

tigerfishie

Second on how gross coffee is. Coffee is in my top 3 nastiest smells. But I also have a feeling that the venusian tea will be like Villy's booze. Poisonous, not that is a bad thing for Jake. Probably would add depth to the drink

khielira

Ree!

Sylphie

Jake won’t necessarily need worshippers. That’s one path that people can go on, the power of faith and all that, but there are other gods who don’t have worshippers at all, from my understanding. It’s not part of everyone’s path

Beckendwarf

I bet their tea is super poisonous.

Jimbo

No mushroom soup???

CT

I assume that's something the universal translation would translate into something the Venusians would understand. They probably have idioms with the same meaning. Thought it would be interesting to know what that would be.

Kjell

The Oracle is used to being the most powerful of her people. Used to being revered and obeyed, with probably no natural enemies. Now, Jake shows up from outside the boundary. And as much as the Oracle wants to leave and grow stronger, there are plenty of stronger being than her out there. So it's between curiosity and fear. And when fear gets added to the mix, people tend to make stupid decisions.

MarineDebris

Was thinking we were about to get a new selection of toxic-beer

Shop JPL

Thanks for the chapter 🙂

Kt-x

Idk it seemed far fetched the whole time. Literally E grade Jake was able to feel the time dilation of the Myriad Poisons room. I cant imagine B grade Jake not noticing. Especially now that he can sense concepts like space directly during teleportation. He'd notice the time concept warping around him if he entered dilation that extreme. It would have had to be at least like 600x dilation for the time frame to make sense. Probably more like 1000x. Dozens of times more than Nevermore. Dilation was never a high odds theory.

Shandlar

facepalmed when Jake used an English idiom on these alien froggies lol. "Water under the bridge" means a life pool or bog monsters to them, Jake 😅

Josie

Jake’s toxic creature army is under construction… very good… very good

Takoda Heitz

Will Jake meet a few Venusian Serpents? Maybe, get his own loyal army of Venusian snakes? I know it's my inner Pokemon Trainer/Wuxia fan talking, but Jake hasn't used his new origin powers and it would be perfect to assemble an army of humanoid snake people. Plus, if Jake is going to be a God he needs worshippers.

Wen L.

i wonder how long Jake will be able to explore “Venus” before the event. i really hope some frogs join the order or haven, tftc

Kevin Watson

I love this world-building in this story man. Thanks for this chapter!

Vega

Of course the British battle toads drink tea. I like the path Venus is going. Wonder how much Jake shows off while fighting?

Ty Cooper

Battletoads arc here we go

Aeth

Pepe the frog drinking tea with Jake.

Daniel

Didn't say they eat poison, if they truly were British then there'd be no poison in any of their dishes because that adds flavour.

Noah Mclelland

IntenseSushi

Damn.. almost 1300 chapters.. glad I started this journey! I wonder how it will end...

David

i love how we end this chapter by conforming they eat poison and tea like the british

Dhia

My though exactly!!

Alexandre8901

Seems like a great private world for Jake to explore and grind a bit for the time being, hopefully meeting the nomadic snakes soon too.

djthomp

I love that Jake loves tea. To many litrpgs hate on the leaf juice in favour of the bean juice and it drives me insane! Coffee is gross!

KatHabit

Thanks for the chapter!

Arieh Sochaczevski

Threw all those time dilation theories into the trash with this chapter. I never subscribed to that theory, but I couldn't outright deny it so I never voiced my opinion and simply continued to be skeptical.

BumAssBumAss

Jake will learn that the translator has limits when he tells them he is from earth and is surprised by their reaction, later he discovers they are hearing "dirt"

brjenness

Jake’s definitely taking one of them with him to the seat of the exalted prima right haha

nathan

Dividing universes into squares ignoring established natural boundaries.

brjenness

Freudian slip. The malefic author was taking great pleasure in portraying the warlike venusians as a peaceful people.

brjenness

What do you mean no cliff? Sweet or unsweetened. Hot or cold. Cookies or biscuits. So many unanswered questions. This is by far the worst cliff ever.

brjenness

Same same

brjenness

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but them seeming so chill and reasonable just makes me wait for the other shoe to drop.

Kota

TFTC and a happy Friday to all. The lack of a weekend cliffhanger does make me concerned though. Hope you feel better soon Zogarth.

Loststar7

They teuly are very british, meaning they def want to expand lol

Eden

If not, (for) nothing else but to help you learn more about this world and its inhabitants,” the Oracle said with a final nod before waving her hand.

Alexander C Hyde

Beemoss

Are there also being(s) surpassing A-grade amongst your human race?”

Alexander C Hyde

Do not fret, this is no statement of hostility, but one that I now believe to be fact,” the Oracle said, seeming incredibly me for some reason. (Incredibly me sounds weird.)

Alexander C Hyde

Let them out of the minor world and they will start colinising

eatingpitza314

TFTC :) Hope youre feeling better come Monday. I have enjoyed the release schedule fitting more closely with my own sleep patterns but not at the expense of your health. See you all after the weekend peeps. Suggested edits: "It meant that *his* world was large" should be "this" "the Oracle said, seeming incredibly me for some reason." dont know what you meant here but this certainly isnt right. "If he’d never taken *the* flight and" this seems an extra word “I ** found this conversation highly enlightening" feels like a word is missing, "have" "On this island, there are entirely B-grades once you venture out of the village," the phrasing of this seems off. Perhaps "Beyond the protection of this village, there are naught but strong B grades," "there were *conservative* fanatics" this is an americanism so perhaps deliberate but the word would usually be "xenophobic" " If *not, nothing else but* to help you learn" more common phrasing would be "If for nothing else than..." "They did have tea." Did Jake ask about tea before? I dont recall. If he did and never got an answer this phrasing is fine but if he didnt the more expected phrasing would be "They had tea."

Xander

I bet Zog is so confused with the time, he forgot its friday.

Meir Banon

Thank u for the story

C0bra$

Again, I love this arc. It has an almost isekai feel to it that is super fun. I love learning more about the venusians and their world. And look at Jake being a good representative of humanity! TFTC. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

DeAndrea H

I hope it does. It's fun to explore a whole new culture isolated from the multiverse, and I bet Jake could find some good challenges in this world, and probably even some treasure that explains all the toxic environment. Besides, these people may make great allies in the future.

Seiryus

I don't think they want it stopped, rather they want to control him

Matt

Ever since jake mentioned that their tone of speaking through myriad tongues made them sound quite posh and well articulated I've been reading all the venusians parts with an aristocratic English accent in my head which made "jake learned the most important thing about venusians. They had tea" feel extremely apt and like I'd found a spoiler. Tyftc

Ben Cox

You are a master to us all, i get proud when i stack up for a week

Paul Martin

Tyftc This is cool. I hope they go and explore together and be shocked how powerful Jake is for his level. But after some great tea of course.

Jeroen Turkstra

Why I expected that frog people had beer?

Star

Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!

JJB4345_80_815

Seems like a good people to have them join the Order. Very familiar with toxic environment and desently strong and curious but may need protection when fully integrated.

Sean McClain

I like getting details on the Venusians. Learning about them and their culture. It’s a good side arc I wouldn’t mind spending a bit of time on.

DirePants

I’ve been rereading and I keep referring back to the incident in the void traveling back from the pantheon of life. In regard to the mysterious faction, the most plausible explanation I can reach is that within the new world wonder, Jake somehow initiates/awakens whatever force is currently pursuing him. The reason they would be acting as they are is to understand themselves or to interfere early enough to change the course of Jake’s current path. Maybe his current path is so disruptive they feel it needs to be stopped, or maybe he did something that awakens all life, including that of past life’s in conjunction with eron and his bloodline so that dead paths are suddenly walking again and looking for an explanation

Chris Connolly

Huh, no cliffhanger this time? I was sure the Oracle was going to say something to leave us in suspense, not just kick Jake out and do her own thing lol.

Daryl

venusian tea time!

Yanyan _05

"the Oracle said, seeming incredibly me for some reason." The part after the comma is confusing. Not sure what the intent was here. Thank you for the Chapter. Hope your health is improving Zog. :)

John Durrett

Thanks for the chapter. I really thought the important thing was they had booze.

Joshua Little

It like the literal saying of "frogs in a well", but in this instance, frogs in a minor world. I'm looking forward to their reaction to Jake being the chosen of, well, Villy lol. I dont think frog and snake mesh well.

joker ledger

I like this new(mini?) arc. Frog people seem nice and I wanna know what's gonna happen to this world planet in the future

Karim Saadi

I think there's a good chance that these people will embrace the Mall VIP as their patron god.

Julian

I hope this side quest arc does not take 12 chapters before we get to the main storyline. The moon side quest only took a few chapters.

Steven L

I love the venusians. Also considering the minor world I think Jake can have all of them in his faction.

GeneralBlack

Love the tea comment! So cute! Great substitute instead of a weekend cliff hanger!
