STARTING FROM ZERO AGAIN!A curious visitor has arrived at Roswaal Manor, bringing with her fantastic tales of heroes and faraway places—and also a spot of trouble. Meanwhile, Rem works very hard around the manor. Perhaps too hard. So for at least one day, everyone agrees to chip in to give her a break that she, naturally, has no idea how to spend. Al, on the other hand, would prefer to work as little as possible. Unfortunately, his master Priscilla’s husband has been weaving a web of intrigue, and Al will have to decide how he wants to navigate the shadows of his new home.

3,5 Sterne
Ich kenne keinen Autor mit einer so gigantischen Sammlung an Kurzgeschichten und Nebenmaterial, wie Tappei. Und auch wenn die meisten davon schwer zu finden sind, haben wir durch solche Sammelbände wenigstens ein paar der Wichtigsten. Heroic Tale war cool und Following Star absolut göttlich, der Rest irrelevanter Filler. Hat sich aber trotzdem gelohnt.

(+)
- Ich liebe Al und Priscillas Dynamik
- Bessere Einführung von Lilliana, als in WN
- Slice-of-Life Elemente spaßig

(-)
- Emilia in Wonderland ist völlig egal
- Tappeis langsamer Schreibstil eignet sich nicht für Dinge, die keinen wirklichen Plot haben

After watching and reading the novel and the tv series adaption. I got to say, Re: zero has got to be my best read novel of all time. Without a doubt, this novel has stolen the special spot I've placed Evangelion on. In this novel and the rest of them introduces a cast of characters that blew my mind away, although it wasn't something I've never seen before, but the way the story makes them interact with each other just blows my mind. This is my biased review on the current state of Re:zero 2020.

So 3 and 1/2 short stories in this collection, and only two have any relevance to the main story. One details Subaru and Liliana's first meeting, which was aight. The other notable one gives some background for Priscilla and Al, which I thought was cool.

It was quite fun but the Al Story was by far a standout like insane stuff
