Magonote has a tendency to dump a lot of information every 3 or 4 books, this is one of them. We finally move ahead with Nanahoshi's plot, I wouldn't call this a resolution of course, if anything I have more questions but things seem to make sense. We also keep getting allies for the future war, and let me tell you I was not expecting the final chapter to go down the way it went. As the series progresses I've noticed I have less chances to write proper reviews without spoiling things, so I'll leave it there.

***LIGHT SPOILERS/VAGUE SUMMARY***
A relatively light story coming before the penultimate book in the series. Rudeus Greyrat is assembling forces to take down his friend turned traitor. Sylphie worries about her newborn son and reconciles her mental image of Rudeus with the fallible yet loveable man she married. Eris recognizes how badly she hurt Rudy when they were kids. They go on an emotional road trip and their relationship deepens as a result. We learn a surprising amount of lore from the ye olden days that frames old characters in a new, more complex light. Rudy runs into old friends from his adventuring days and realizes that he has grown into the kind of man that he has always wanted to be. Roxy … does something … I think. This was a fun, relatively light volume in the series as we watch Rudy earnestly attempt to be a good father to his growing brood of children while simultaneously doing all he can to save the future of his adopted fantasy world.

WN - 4.25 on first read. Just like with volume 22, volume 23 of the light novel includes a lot of new content that is not in the webnovel version, (the version im reading...) so I can't wait to see the content im missing out on when I eventually get to rereading this series in light novel format. But I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. A lot of interesting stuff goes down in this one. The introduction of a new member of the Greyrat family, some really great Sylphie and Perugies content, a huge expansion on Nanohoshi and her narrative, and foreshadowing on where the crew might be going next... Bighaeril. Volume 23 of the light novel corresponds with the ladder chapters of volume 22 of the webnovel.

Volume 23 feels very much like a pause before the big event. It contains some solid slice-of-life about Sylphie, Eris and Rudeus' past, but none of it really moved the story forward and in some cases felt a bit too coincidental for my taste. It left me a bit conflicted, I would have wanted some more progress or focus, but what we got was in itself not bad. So a decent read, and not the weakest of the series, but neither the best.

Great Volume. Some very fun slice of life stuff in this one as well as more closure for some hanging plot threads.

Seven seas could not possibly translate these volumes faster but at the same time I never want this story to end. First time I've been anticipating future volumes to be translated before, an interesting and new experience I guess.

Side stories, loose end closures, and attempts at recruitment on the road to the big showdown. This volume had some entertaining reunions but otherwise nothing really definitive happened. It was good though.

Love seeing Rudeus and all his girls going for an adventure
Also, the extra chapter is the best I´ve read so far.
Simply marvelous!
Got me questioning my views on life and wanting to become larger-than-life-itself

Great!

Fue un preámbulo a los sucesos que se abrirían paso en los siguientes tomos, se podría decir como una preparación para el final.

[Justin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Would you sacrifice everything for those that you love?

[Jesus · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good

I'm happy to see Rudy has run in with two people of his past. I can't believe Badi is going to fight Rudy. Also why Rudy has two demon eyes? I'm glad his kid wasn't Laplace.

Idk it’s getting a tad boring now. Just going around and recruiting people and reminiscing about the past

[Alejandra Chalen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me encantó la historia de Badigadi.
Es emocionantes saber que ya estoy cerca del final... (Mas o menos)

[Sandra (I don't read, I devour.) · Rating 5 out of 5]

New places, old faces. Starting to gear up for the final battle. I don't think that's much of a spoiler honestly.

Volumen 23
El fin de la historia de nuestro protagonista o por lo menos su conclusión mayor.
Bastantes batallas, no todas explicadas al detalle, con ciertas bajas y consecuencias, incluso personajes tanto aliados como enemigos super inesperados y que me gusto mucho.
Todo lo que se ha ido preparando el Ludeus desde el volumen 14 - 15 es para este volumen, salen muchos personajes que hemos ido viendo a lo largo de toda la historia, muchos Dioses de estilos o de razas, Reyes demonio, personajes fuertes, armas poderosas, todo sin estar fuera de los limites ya establecidos por el autor y su world building.
No deja de pecar al ser japones en el aspecto de que no hay consecuencias mayores o super inesperadas, pero aun así esta bien en este aspecto.

Un buen final para una historia (aunque queda otro volumen, el 24, que es corto y esa si es la conclusión). En muchos aspectos muy buena y en otros no tanto, sigo pensando que tanto su world building como la historia del mismo, de su universo, aunque tiene algún fallo o cosas sin explicar (por el momento), me parece de lo mejor que he visto de un japones en este aspecto, si no el mejor, tiene tantos detalles, la historia tanto del universo como del mundo es muy interesante y ojala tener algunos volúmenes de las guerras pasadas que me parecen interesantes.

Ahora, la conclusión.

Best book in the series
Writing a review on the next volume

[Nuniflex · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nanahoshi's teleportation developments were really interesting, but the Sieghart baptism was kinda whatever. Still, nice volume.
