J’aime vraiment de plus en plus l’histoire de Mushoku tensei et du personnage de Rudeus. L’histoire est vraiment intéressante et je pense que les choses sérieuses vont commencer dans le prochain tome, vu la fin de ce dernier !

Rudeus à maintenant pris sa place depuis trois ans dans la famille Boreas. Au début, Eric avait du mal avec lui, mais petit à petit, ils s’apprécient de plus en plus et elle accepte sa présente dans leur vie.

Rudeus se démène toujours autant pour apprendre un maximum de langue étrangère ou d’autre chose. Il souhaite accumuler les connaissances qui pourraient éventuellement lui être utiles plus tard.

Dans ce tome, il ne se passe pas grand-chose a par des histoires de la vie de tous les jours. C’est plutôt un tome tranquille afin de nous amener ce qui arrive à la fin. Il nous met en place l’univers, les personnes, la vie tranquille, avant de nous montrer une catastrophe !

En bref, l’histoire commence vraiment à m’intriguer beaucoup. On sent que le quatrième tome sera fort en action et rebondissement. La fin de ce tome me fait regretter de ne pas avoir la suite dans ma PAL. J’ai vraiment hâte de voir ce qui va se passer dans ce prochain tome ! 😉

I think this is where it starts getting good. More craftiness, yes, and good people-handling skills, but what surprised me the most was where the anime diverges from the manga. There are a few slightly disturbing aspects, even outright flaws in Rudy's character, more pronounced in the anime. He's a bit more of a creep in the anime, even. I even find some of the differences rather confounding.

I don't care that he shows up in the realm of the man-ga'd clothed (in the manga) versus naked (in the anime. Or that the summoning object in the sky was of a different design. It's really how he treats women, from the more innocent scenes in the manga, to the more calculating in the anime.

I just think it's kinda fascinating why the tv show turned him a bit more into a creep. I mean, it's balanced pretty well and it just skirts up to the edge, not really crossing lines, but still. What were the later producers thinking?

I'm thinking to the fact that this story was first written as light novels before becoming a manga or an anime. I am going to go back and read those to see what the real story is.

Not a whole lot happened in this until right at the very end with "The Calamity" It was mainly about our guy getting in good with the rich family, dancing with the girl. There was a side story with Roxy getting screwed over by a friend but it didn't really add anything to the narrative, it's not like they seemed to have a deep connection either. It was very much here are there characters, BETRAYAL and now Roxy's alone.

Si uno no conociera la historia de Ruedos, podría fácilmente catalogarlo como un "príncipe azul" jejeej

Porque en realidad su diseño es muy bonito, su personalidad con los adultos es impecable y su capacidad para aprender sorprende demasiado.

No obstante, dado que podemos ver sus pensamientos... Eso nos trae de recuerdo a ese Hikikomori de 34 años.

Pero la historia sigue siendo impresionante, a decir verdad, está por comenzar lo bueno de la trama. Así que estoy impaciente por continuarlo.

Le tome était grave bien, la on voit que les dessins sont beaucoup plus beau c'est incroyable, j'ai bien aimé le flashback de Roxy avec le mec qui s'en foutais de ses coéquipiers. L'anniversaire de Rudy était grave bien et après le cataclysme qui et un acte majeur dans le mangas. Et pour moi mon hypothèses c'est que on voit que c'est le cristal et qui créé après le cataclysme mais on voit dans le crystal mais moi je crois c'est hitogami mais c'est mon hypothèses.

Autant le tome 2 avait relevé le niveau, autant avec ce tome 3 je retrouve ma première impression : pas mal mais... je ne saurais même pas dire vraiment ce qui fait que j'accroche moins. bon je vais quand même lire la suite, surtout que la fin est intrigante bien qu'un peu bizarre.

The series is building up to something amazing as evident by the final panels!

Although I do find the romance parts a little bit awkward beings as the main character is 10, I know he's a reincarnated 30something man but still its a little much

But the overall story so fat has been great!

This one is more slice of life setting up the tragedy at the end. Eris does promise her love and sex to Rudeus in five years (15) when they will both be considered adults. This age thing is the hardest for me to wrap my mind around, still great story....if slow up to this point.

I always love the early years a reincarnation anime, seeing them grow into themselves and becoming better. Even if they lived a fulfilled life in their old world. Everyone has regrets.

I don't understand why this sidestoried to Roxy. It showed Roxy as an adventurer and as a teacher......and didn't explain why.

The end of the manga side story about Rudy's sisters was cute.

I was disappointed by this volume till near the end, and then the story suddenly propelled me on to volume 4 (which is my last).

After much anticipated wait, we finally get to the adventure part of the story and... it blows, it fucking blows. How do I put this? The reason the manga is always better than the anime is because the manga is the pure expression of the unadulterated story where the drawings greatly reduce the amount of unnecessary dialog on situations and actions. While the anime is limited by anime clichés, laws, and budget. So to fill the gaps for lack of action to reduce the number of frames and cost, usually the dialog is extended not with useful information, but with open contemplation of buttnaked obvious things. NOW, Light Novels, I would be watching an anime instead of reading this book if I wanted somebody with down syndrome to tell me there's 13 steps on those stairs or the building was beige not white. Putting WORDS onto a page is infinitely less expensive than animating events, SO WHY, GOD FUCKING WHY does this crap also fill the pages of light novel??? Is it a 3rd world thing? Is it because 3rd world soccer moms haven't gone to university for english lit. before writing books? The rules of engagement states that it's more polite to draw your own conclusions to form an opinion before voicing it, and letting others decide whether it's relevant or offensive to them. What is the point of voicing all your contemplation in the open? Do other people need to know whether you're in dilemma because you can't choose between getting the corn bread or the Naan, and if you get the corn bread you'd have less room for other foods? Fuck! 44 years old? More like 14. Asian societies run on EMPATHY instead of equality, this means that instead of being FAIR, they care for eachother through FEELINGS. This means that if they feel like crap, they can treat you like crap. And since you can't measure empathy like you can with equality, their system DOES NOT WORK. Love and compassion is good and all, but it doesn't put food on the table and it doesn't invent iphones. Disgusting, just disgusting.
