by 키타야마 유리

운명이 갈리는 선택지, 그 끝에 있는 것은―― 초월자의 규칙을 벗어날 단서를 찾아 소라와 함께 떠난 리오. 그가 가장 먼저 목표로 삼은 곳은 성녀 에리카가 소환된 장소였다. 성녀의 발자취를 따라가며 리오는 용사의 힘에 대해 조금씩 알아간다. 한편 가르아크 왕국성에 모인 4명의 용사 중 센도 타카히사만이 스스로를 단련할 기회도 거절한 채 고립의 길을 가고 있었다. 그런 타카히사의 관심 사항은 단 하나―― 아야세 미하루와의 관계 회복뿐. “아키는…… 좋겠네. 이미 미하루의 용서를 받았으니까.” 소녀를 애타게 그리워한 소년의 행동으로 이윽고 세계마저 뒤틀리기 시작한다!!

[Tomcat]

Slow but good volume.

In this volume the author spends a lot of time building the background of Takahisa and Princess Liliana. Quite slow but steady. At the end the author surprised with something not very creative. Is strange as the author since volume 1, introduce original plots and characters in a brilliant form. But here, he ends with a Labyrinth and a quite fast dungeon delving, with the standard tropes, some goblins, orcs and minotaurs. A new antagonist appears at the end, but poorly described. It looks like the author just tries to introduce new plots to keep the serie running, but in this volume nothing new or creative was introduced.

[Ernost · Rating 3 out of 5]

While the overall plot did not advance all that much in this volume, it did contain one of the best depictions I've seen in a light-novel of a Narcissistic Abuser, particularly the way they try and gaslight people. It also shows the importance of having a good support system; if Aki and Miharu did not have their friends (particularly Satsuki), things would have gone very differently.

Didn't feel like a lot happened in this particular novel to be honest. Still enjoying the series and interested to see where it goes.
