Finally, the Order of the Silver Phoenix is getting off the ground!
The group was founded to create new mechs, to push the limits of silhouette knight technology. So what is their first order of business? Why, nothing other than a project that would give any normal person a splitting headache! And it doesn’t stop there. After Ernie proposes his special model of silhouette knight, he has even more ideas about optional equipment!
What messes will our clever protagonist get up to in volume 3? Will there be more giant monsters on the horizon? Or will he face tribulations from another vector? It might even be both!
The story continues much like the previous two volumes with the development of more silhouette knights, whether a completely new model or trying to learn more about the magic engines that drive his favorite machines. At times it can be a bit boring, spending a bit too much time of magic/techno babble (especially at the beginning), but there is plenty of action. Mind you, the characters are fairly typical for the isekai genre, even if the world itself is somewhat different. So an entertaining read, and a typical addition to the series.
Even though volume three focused mainly on designing a new type of robot, I was still fully immersed in the story and enjoyed the way that the robot construction was shown and explained.
I didn't enjoy this volume quite as much as the previous two, simply because of the focus on robot construction, rather than advancing the plot.
