A great conclusion to an astoundingly fun series. I thoroughly enjoyed the final volume, and trust that most who have followed this series to its conclusion will as well.

The stage is set. Across seven volumes, the pain in the Pantheon’s side, Kanata, has been slowly derailing the gods’ entertainment world. Growing ever stronger, much to the God’s annoyance, in the series’ final act, they’ve finally decided that enough is enough and need to take the nuclear option-kill Kanata and destroy Locklore.
In preparation for the series’ final climax, the story begins with the last bastion of Locklore training in earnest. Suitably setting up the sheer magnitude of the uphill battle they face, it’s also one of the few moments of downtime within the volume. With nothing but action and tragedy on the horizon, these segments serve as a last little moment for a bit of humour. Here, the author falls back on some of the series’ ever-faithful staples, including the training mirror from hell and a bit of Lunaère teasing, which are always a blast.
The rest of the story is split between two fights. These begin with Naiarotop’s last pawn, Zoras. A staged fight on behalf of the gods, it hits all the right notes for a spectacle finale. It features an overpowered antagonist as well as the omnipresent threat of Locklore’s destruction. It’s unlucky for Naiarotop that Kanata’s mere existence breaks all the normal conventions of a typical Isekai.
The second and final fight is a more hyped-up affair. It sees Kanata go toe to toe with the god Naiarotop himself. Teased throughout the past six volumes, it’s perhaps inevitable that the event doesn’t quite live up to the hype. Unfortunately, the level of threat carried by a god isn’t there, and it seems like the segment is meant more as a joke than anything else.
Finally, the closing instalment deals with the ‘will they won’t they’ between Kanata and Lunaère. This is always a strong point for the series, and the scenes in this volume are no different. A mixture of tender emotions and joyous elation brings the saga between the two to a satisfying conclusion. It’s a shame that, like most of the other romantic moments in the story, they are so strikingly short. Hopefully, in the author’s next series, they will pay more attention to this theme, as they have a real talent for writing rom-coms.
Concluding the series, Disciple of the Lich’s final volume succeeds in creating a fun, action-packed adventure. Despite a slight setback in the creation of Kanata and Naiarotop’s battle, the seventh volume has some of the most enjoyable action scenes in the series to date, but these pale in comparison to the scenes between Kanata and Lunaère. Tender and heartwarming, it’s just a shame they’re always so short.

Good ending.
A good ending overall for this series. It is strange to see a series like this, having a proper closure, and not keeping cliffhangers while the series gets shelve. The author does a decent job tidying up a lot of loose ends, although some important characters get the cold shoulder. And because of the amount of things the author has to do to bring this series to an end, some parts look rushed, and in other parts the use of so much plot armor brings some boring scenes. If you have read this series so far, this volume is a must.

What a lovely conclusion. Final battle did not disappoint, beautiful moments and surprises. As the author said in his afterword, he tried to tie loose ends without going on too long... and I applaud his execution and bravery. Many authors try to leave a few threads for a sequel.
Saying that, I'd totally pick up a short story collection from this author, for the side characters that were less focused on and for an epilogue with the main cast.
