After untangling themselves (well, mostly) from the series of complicated messes that ambushed them in the royal capital, Rentt and Lorraine finally head back to Maalt with Grand Guildmaster Jean Seebeck, the man Wolf asked them to retrieve.
Meanwhile, in Maalt, Rina has been training with Alize under Isaac’s guidance. Yet even with her newfound vampiric abilities, she remains an Iron-class adventurer, and being surrounded by so many capable individuals begins to erode her self-confidence. Thankfully, there’s a tried and tested cure for that: adventure!
While Rentt journeys back to Maalt, apprehensive of the trials that await him there, his junior in all things adventuring and vampiric faces a trial of her own. The curtain rises on The Unwanted Undead Adventurer volume 12!
Volume 12 of Unwanted Undead Adventurer is well written, and I did enjoy it during the read, but at the same time it is a bit lacking. Most of the book is a story about an adventure of Rina, and while not exactly filler (it does world building and character development), it comes close, adding little to the overall story. Furthermore, the ending of the book is abrupt, and not even at a cliff hanger, more like in the middle of a simple conversation (technically it is a fight, but it ends and was never much of a challenging one). Even a few more pages on dealing with the aftermath, or if something more is going on than meets the eye a hint in that direction would have been so much better. So, a good read, but by the end somewhat lacking.
Considering when I started reading it and when I finished it, this book was more or less a let down. The not-so-called filler was skip skip skip for me and didn’t bother to read it, and while the main story was ok, it ended abruptly in a weird manner. Honestly I didn’t feel really attached or engaged in this volume.
