Goblin Slayer

Manga > LN

I started reading the LN, and it's not as detailed as the manga is. You'd think the opposite would be true, but the manga author is really filling in gaps.

>manga explains how the goblins ambushed the group in chapter one; LN glosses it over with the goblins "digging tunnels" from the side or something
>manga has GS masking Priestess' smell with entrails and blood; LN doesn't
>manga combines CG and GG chapters for better pacing
>manga shows stone ranked adventurers falling for a goblin ambush and getting taken out by the goblin with a sling; LN has them simply falling to superior numbers (though it does mention they made the mistake of attacking at noon)
>manga has GS obsessing over just hearing someone say the word goblin; LN leaves out that gag

What frustrates me a little about this is that for trying to have its main character to be such a weapons&armor nerd, it gets it way too wrong.
It's still enjoyable though.

Explain why it's wrong, weapons&armor sage.

Most obvious example in that image is the sword.
The "guard" is downright silly. The blade size is retarded. The lack of pommel is stupid.

Not surprising at all. It takes no talent to succeed in the LN industry (It's just dumb luck having your story become the fotm) whereas the manga industry is fucking brutal. I can think of many cases where a LN's manga adaptation was better.

Name some, faggot

Huh, rigth. Are you actually talking about the design of the sword?
It's a piece of metal that can cut, if you can brandish it there's basically no problem. The guard also fullfils its purpose.

Uh Pokemon and Digimon

Too big, too thick, too heavy and too rough.
It was more like a piece of iron...

Off the top of my head Haganai, Infinite Stratos and Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou are vastly improved in the manga versions. In particular, trying to read the Infinite Stratos LN made me want to fucking kill myself. It's so badly written holy fuck.
