The volume continues where v14 ended with Ryoma traveling deeper into the Sea of Trees both to fulfil the gods' wishes and to retrieve his "grandparents" inheritance. Soon he leaves behind any signs of humans, luckily he comes across the S-ranked adventurer Glenn, the stereotypical too-strong-for-his-own-good battle junkie for some solid interaction. Together they confront the monster in Korumi who is not exactly what was expected.

Volume 15 is pretty solid addition to the series. I like the addition of Glenn, even though he is a walking trope, he adds a bit of spice. Admittedly though, I never liked long stretches in which the hero wanders around like a lone wolf with nobody but themselves for company. Of course, no serious threat is posed, it mostly a cosy slice-of-life adventure story with a few easily resolved fights, but anybody coming this far in the series should have expected this. I also liked some of the monsters, I might borrow one or two for my tabletop game.

All in all, a solid addition to the series and a good read, if a tad short even for a light novel.

Sea of Trees

Ryoma makes it to the Sea of Trees and makes a few new friends along the way. The biggest contributor would be the S-rank adventurer, Glen. He aids Ryoma in making it to his Fictional Hometown.

Ryoma meets the monster that drew the attention of the gods, defeats him and names him Korumi after the village.

I like this series. Hopefully I can continue to read it in the near future.

Still worth it

If you've made it this far into this series than I can only say what the title says. I'm this installment we get no politics, no kiniving and a bunch of wilderness including a straightforward brute that's a good person.

Enjoyable new addition

Compared to the last book (which felt more like a filler), this one put it back on track. Great read.

On to the next one

Finally, Ryoma has made it to the Sea of Trees and made a new friend. I cannot wait to see what happens next

Super short (180) compared to the previous ones (1K+). They wasted a LOT of time on unnecessary info dump, he spent 3 or 4 volumes getting ready for this adventure which then he finished in one book......most of the adventure is skipped over telling the reader, "we spent 4 days walking" and so on, instead of describing what actually happened. In a place where you supposedly have tons of monsters, he basically fights with a handful, and for half of them, there are no descriptions. I felt this book was just a lazy excuse to publish whatever in order to sell. The only good part was the end and how things got resolved. However, the end felt rushed. Onto my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

Probably one of the best books in the series because it felt like connection and fun. I'm not a huge fan of the solo stuff because the author skims it or doesn't commit, and then tells you about it in bullet points. It's kind of annoying. So, it's good to see the author write out the adventure and use the loot. Discovery, world building, plus fellowship is one of the big parts of my love of fantasy, so this kind of stuff is fun. I can't wait to see more of the characters introduced.
