WHEN WILL THE EXAMS END?

Subaru makes history with his friends after reaching the unreachable tower deep in an unpassable land that even Reinhard finds inhospitable. Waiting for them is a Sage who is quite different from all the stories...not to mention several tests set up centuries earlier to judge the worthiness of visitors seeking the untold knowledge resting within the tower. If they pass, access to the hidden wisdom of the legendary Sage may help them find a way to save Rem and the other victims of the Witch Cult. Fail...and they might not leave alive...

I am so conflicted with this volume to the point I am not sure how to rate it.

So we get quite a few developments in this book, the new characters Shaula and Reid are interesting? So Shaula as a character is mysterious and is interesting lore wise too, however her actual personality I found to be quite annoying (this is opinion based though). And Reid is just a terrible person but I do understand that is due to him being a villain in a way.

The story and plot of things happening is actually pretty solid. While a tower arc isn't exactly new its done well and is very intriguing. The mysteries are great and at times even gripping. The structure is well done aswell.

The other characters have some good development mainly Julius, Emilia and even Ram.
So the twist at the end, while it is a good twist and of I hadn't been spoiled for it would have surprised me, was Subaru losing his memories. The whole memory loss thing is getting a little old in this series like it happens a little too much idk. And I am worried this is going to lead to a repeat character arc. I hope this isn't too long of a thing and he regains his memories in the next book or two otherwise I think it could feel a little repetitive and frustrating as character relationships are just wiped and all his development but I'll try and be open minded when reading the next books.

Overall this in intriguing and hasn't fully lost itself in its length yet and can still make for a good read. So I'll probably finish this arc and decide my thoughts overall afterwards.

Estou com muitas perguntas ao final desse volume

Deu uma nota meio baixa em relação aos outros pq a parte inicial não achei tão cativante assim. Junto com a escrita meio estranha, sla, m consegui sentir risco ou sentimentos fortes na trama que tava rolando. O desafio do Raid é interessante, mas isso vai ser mais desenvolvido no próximo volume.

Agora, tenho que elogiar os últimos capítulos, a partir daquele focado no Julius. Tá sendo mt legal ver a dinâmica entre o Subaru e ele nesse arco, uma amizade mt foda tá se desenvolvendo aqui. Além disso, toda a parte na varanda passou uma sensação muito única, de um relaxamento agridoce (já que até agora não consigo confiar mt na "Anastasia").

Só n entendi o final, em que o subaru parece ter se esquecido de algumas coisas. Deixou bem em aberto e não sei o que tá rolando.

O interlúdio foi estranho também, quero ver como vai ser o desenrolar disso aqui

Enjoyable

The dialog can be a bit tricky to follow, don't always know who's saying what... And sometimes the conversations feel like something might've been lost in translation. But the characters, the art, and the story are all great. When I finished the anime, I had to know what was next. These light novels don't disappoint.

I thought this book was pretty good up until the WTF cliffhanger ending that was randomly added. Before that we were making our way up the Pleiades tower and Julius seemed to be getting some character development.

great arc

Perfect, this arc is one of the best I’ve ever read(submitting this after reading 23 which is even better btw)

This volume definitely gives more questions than answers, with a twist at the end that I didn't see coming.

Shaula makes an interseting(?) Addition, again, she raises far more questions than answers them.

Interested to see where this arc is going

fun and with good moments but Shayla was very annoying at the start and it peaked right at the end. still a very good continuation of the story though
