Oh wow, what a conclusion to the 7th Arc. Can't go into it because there would be a lot of spoilers. It was one of those where you never really knew how the MCs were going to solve the enormous amount of problems sent their way... and there were a lot.
One thing needs to be said about Tgurneau, the villain. AWESOME! The author really nailed an evil villain with great motivations, intelligent and devilish cruelty!

Can't recommend this series enough!

Como el mayor interés de esta obra reside en su argumento resulta difícil y un poco absurdo realizar un análisis sin spoilers. Por lo tanto reitero cosas que ya he dicho en anteriores entregas y profundizaré más adelante en ellas: el villano es magistral, los personajes hacen todos sus movimientos utilizando la lógica y sopesando todas las opciones posibles, los poderes de los demonios son originales e interesantes y las implicaciones psicológicas y emocionales de los personajes son muy potentes.
Recomiendo la saga a todos aquellos que disfruten con la fantasía y con las tramas de deducciones lógicas.

Dicho esto, empieza la parte con spoilers.


La novela prosigue tras los impactantes acontecimientos de la quinta entrega, en la cual se nos revela la identidad del séptimo héroe, que no es otro que el protagonista de nuestra historia. Este concepto me resultó muy interesante en el anterior libro, y en esta sexta parte el autor ha sabido desarrollarlo de la mejor manera posible, ligando esta "estrategia" con la retorcida mente del villano, el comandante Tgurneu, y su historia personal, dejando claras sus motivaciones.

Creo que puedo decir sin equivocarme que Tgurneu ha sido el verdadero protagonista de esta entrega, mostrando definitivamente todas sus cartas y revelándonos la gran relevancia que ha tenido en el mundo humano y en el pasado de los personajes, tanto directa como indirectamente. Sus estrategias me han parecido verdaderas genialidades y su maldad y psicopatía lo han convertido en uno de los mejores villanos que he conocido. Pero sin duda lo que considero más digno de alabanza en la escritura del personaje (y de toda la escritura del libro en general) es la habilidad con la que el autor hace que los planes de Tgurneu queden arruinados, ya que no pierde simplemente por conveniencias del guión (aunque a veces sí que ha influido la suerte, pero lo justo dentro de lo aceptable) sino por su propia personalidad. El defecto de Tgurneu es su fortaleza, y la razón de su ser explica sus errores en la batalla. Y no sólo es cuestión de errores del villano, sino también debido a la genialidad de los héroes al ser capaces de ver salidas inesperadas pero totalmente lógicas.
No quiero enrollarme mucho más con el villano, pero de verdad, leer a Tgurneu ha sido toda una experiencia.

Por otro lado, Adlet protagoniza algunas de las escenas más memorables de la novela, recibiendo una cantidad de reveses emocionales brutales y tocando fondo, al borde de la destrucción mental. Nuevamente, Tgurneu destaca al ser capaz de manipular (tanto por sus poderes como por sus habilidades intelectuales) a los personajes, regocijándose en su miseria más absoluta.

También quiero destacar los sentimientos que provocan la situación de Fremy, que es realmente triste. De hecho, a pesar de haber acabado con el (hasta ahora) villano principal, el final del libro es bastante agridulce, dejando a Fremy y Adlet devastados y al resto de héroes suspicaces respecto a este último.

Hans ha sido otro de los personajes con más protagonismo, y bastante merecido. Es uno de los mejores personajes, tanto por su trasfondo como por su carismática personalidad. Además es, probablemente, el luchador más balanceado del equipo, siendo muy competente en el cuerpo a cuerpo, teniendo habilidades asesinas del más alto nivel, poseyendo capacidades deductivas propias de un genio, etc. No obstante, y esto es algo que también adoro de la saga, tiene vulnerabilidades o falta de habilidades que otros héroes no, haciendo que todos sean útiles e imprescindibles. Probablemente es el más comparable a Adlet, debido a que es el único capaz de lidiar con su enorme intelecto, pero aún así cada uno tiene sus ventajas tácticas: Hans es un genio en el combate y su habilidad con la espada y su inteligencia kinestésica superan por mucho a las de Adlet, pero por su parte Adlet es más versátil por su uso de diferentes armas y herramientas, es capaz de hacer estrategias más complejas usando su entorno y analizando la situación, y es un lider mucho más competente y fiable (pues le resulta más fácil ganarse la confianza de los demás).

Si tengo una queja del libro es que debería hablar del pasado de Hans, pues es el único héroe del que apenas sabemos nada, y eso que es uno de los más interesantes. Supongo que para la siguiente entrega (si llega) se nos hablará de él. También se nota que al autor le sobraban un poco algunos personajes que apenas salen (ejem Goldof), lo que motiva mis deseos por que muera algún protagonista, ya que llevamos seis libros y están todos intactos (físicamente al menos).
Por otro lado (y sin ser una queja del todo) no sé cómo va a hacer el autor para mantener el interés en la historia sin Tgurneu, pues en cierto modo era el alma de la saga. Por el epílogo parece que Dios de los demonios será otro personaje interesante, pero por ahora poco se sabe de él.

Para acabar quiero hacer una mención a la edición en inglés de Yen Press, que me ha parecido bastante deficiente. El papel es de mala calidad y tenía bastantes desperfectos, que ignoro si se deberían al envío. En cualquier caso, mi mayor queja va dirigida a algunos fallos en la escritura, ya no de traducción (en general parecía estar bien escrito), sino erratas como por ejemplo poner 40 años en lugar de 4. El lector puede aplicar la lógica y no pasar de un pequeño desconcierto, pero me parece un fallo bastante grave y temo que se haya podido propagar en partes menos evidentes. En cualquier caso creo que es la única editorial que ha publicado las novelas, así que personalmente se lo paso, pero me parece que el precio de los libros no es adecuado vista la calidad del producto.

En definitiva, no sé si el mejor de la saga hasta ahora, pero por ahí anda. Ojalá el autor publique el siguiente dentro de no demasiado, pero lamentablemente apenas hay noticias de él, por lo que es una situación frustrante.

Just defeated one of the three Fiend Generals, but every member of the team is broken in their own way, mentally or physically, or even both.
And here I thought vol 5 is already hopeless, I was wrong.
Too bad the next one is just a prequel/spin-off. I want vol 7 now!

The (current) final novel in the series was filled with the thrilling twists that made me fall in love with this story to begin with. With so many of the series' questions already answered, this sixth volume seeks to explore the seemingly inescapable horrors of knowing what's going on. I really enjoyed this novel. It was fascinating to finally understand the motivations of characters I didn't expect to be further developed, and I loved speculating how they would work towards their goals in the ways that were most compatible with their personalities. The plot was constantly being swayed by events that helped and jeopardized the Braves, so things stayed fresh and exciting. Though I still have many questions about the rest of this series, as its current ending, Volume 6 was a fun conclusion to the story so far, and I will continue to hold this series close to my heart.

Loved it. This or KimiSen is my favorite Light Novel series but probably this. And its probably higher than HxH/Kaguya compared to manga and probably my favorite overall series above stuff like Harry Potter. Though that may be rose-colored lenses since I just finished and still feel a high from the epic climaxes in this novel. We'll see with time. Overall thoughts:

Very interesting. This or Volume 1 is probably my favorite volume, but I'm actually leaning toward this because it clarified Tgurneu's motives, showed the "power of love" very well, HUMANIZED Cargikk tremendously and made him empathetic, and was fairly climactic.

By the end of the novel, Rolonia, Mora, Nashetania, Adlet, Hans are all KOed, Chamo and Dozzu and gravely injured, and only Goldof and Fremy are still in semi fighting condition. That's a lot of near close shaves.

Even though I was spoiled on this novel, it was still a blast to finish it last night, and I like it explaining Adlet's sudden romance, loved the battle royale between Adlet, Hans, Tgurneu, braves and fiends, multiple betrayals between Hans and Adlet, things like Fremy's mother's true love, and epic moments like Mora focusing everything into a single super punch to destroy the underground fiend.

Nashetania had some interesting reveals about selecting Adlet, Dozzu's comment about 6 Chamo's losing to Cargikk, and Cargikk entering the battlefield *alone* and *crying* for his fiendkind. Its rather humanizing ironically.

The reveal about the Saint of the Flower and the Evil God is interesting though I don't love that aspect. I dont tend to like god stuff but I do like it explaining part of Adlet's seventh crest meaning.

One thing I wish was at the end, Adlet actually said the line "I am the seventh" to the others, as its just glossed over "He explained everything, how he was the seventh", etc. I think it'd be more impactful actually spoken as a line in the text.

Anyway, I am unsure where Adlet and Fremy will go from here. Adlet has lost all his weapons, his sword was shot into the tower, he used up all his needles and smashed all his weapons. They may have some amongst the buried luggage they hid but I'm hoping he has a fall from grace after losing the power of love and all his tools. It'd be interesting if he became a weak burden to be discarded and Fremy still cares for and takes care of him.

This also raised some questions for me about lingering strands/unresolved plot threads:

V1 (where/how Hans fought and showed his strength to the goddess, or if he was transferred the crest by another brave)

V2 (Mora's leftover explosion gem in her body, Tgurneu's leftover books maybe or maybe even other leftover hieroforms/saint objects, Mora's other barrier stakes, or her special knockout gas, maybe Adlet's specialty nutritious food or if he can somehow make a saint spike now that he's used them all up)

V3 (Nashetania/Dozzu's motives, other lingering specialists perhaps, Goldof's allegiance or further uses of his helmet, possibly other saints)

V4 (Rolonia's motivations, lingering things about Schetra, possibly other humans in the majin world, etc)

V5 (the Saint of the Single Flower, what Dozzu did when he was near her, Fremy's mother and fiend friends who did love her, her dog/dog whistle, Adlet's promises and whether he will possibly still keep them)

V6 (all Adlet's broken tools, Dozzu's alliance ending now that one of the three commanders is dead, Cargikk's actions/wall/possibly recruiting leftovers from Tgurneu's army, Chamo becoming stronger in water, the seventh crest and knowledge who it truly is now - it was stated they were weaker because of the seventh but now they no longer have that restraint, etc)

There's probably other stuff like Zophrair, previous braves, Atreau, some past histories (we still haven't been in Hans/Chamo's perspectives fully), and a lot of other stuff, but there's still so much to look forward to.

Hopefully V7 will be announced in 2019 but V6 was a great read regardless. I think for me, probably it goes volume-wise, 6 >= 1 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 2 or so ish. I liked the ones that emphasized Adlet the most, then I enjoyed 3 for Goldof being a parallel to Adlet in V1 and being similar relationship wise (Goldof:Nashetania as Adlet:Fremy IMO) and then 4 was fun for how many contingency plans Adlet was making and Hans' background actions and new alliance, then 2 was okay for Tgurneu and his trickery but the others were still just more fun I think. But anyway, still love the series overall. Best LN I've read this year so far I think!

Switching to ebooks a few years ago has made it almost impossible for me to read a physical book with the same speed I used to, sucks when publishing companies only make one format of it as well. That’s aside, I’m happy to be up to date with all current released volumes!!

───────────────────

This is the definite climax to Tgurneu’s arc in the series and the seventh arc as well, I have managed to guess who it was since book 1 and I’m glad to see that I wasn’t wrong. The thing that I still couldn’t really pinpoint back then was how did Tgurneu device all of this and now I finally know... better yet, we know why as well. One of the things that makes this series really interesting is how we often we get into the heads of those who matter in that specific instance, through that we usually get the background of how that individuals ended up here and what’s in store. At least a hint of their upcoming struggles or plans anyway, it depends on who’s taking center stage.

This was a somewhat weird volume to read though, not because it was bad or anything, but because everyone seemingly knew their enemy’s train of thought at any given moment. In the course of the books, the heavy dialogue and the suspicions made “deduction” the main thing the characters will try to engage in to know who the seventh is and how to defeat Tgurneu.

However, in this volume I feel like that was taken up a notch where in almost every thought up action, there was some form of reaction waiting from the opposite side. This in itself might have been awful if someone other than Yamagata Ishio was writing it, he’s incredible at creating a desperate situation. I mean when everyone knows everything going on in the other person’s mind, it makes the element of surprise extremely difficult to be used, but when you think the encounter is going to be easily tipped in someone’s favour he brings in a piece of history or reveals a plan B that shows it will never be that simple.

If it was just the Braves who were getting these moments, I would definitely think it’s a huge issue, but that wasn’t the case at all. Another strength of this series lies in its characters, some of them and especially the ones who mattered the most in this volume are incredibly interesting to follow, for example Tgurneu is a very well written villain. Not because his motives and such are all that great, no, it’s more so that he’s incredibly smart and cunning while retaining an incredibly cruelty against his enemies that I just loved being able to see it from his point of view.

With this book over, it concludes the two biggest arcs of the series so far, closed and finished. But, it also leaves me waiting anxiously for the next volume given how it ended. It’s been a very long time since an epilogue made my jaw drop, and left me staring in disbelief at the pages. I just wish that the novel had an ebook format to it, it’s not easy to read paperbacks for me when I can’t pull them up whenever I have some downtime at work so it kind of weighed in on my overall enjoyment. Not enough to completely ruin the experience of course, but enough to have me put off reading in some days without much thinking :/

Anyways!!!!! Great conclusion to those arcs and I freakin can’t wait for volume 7! In the meantime I hope they release the side book in English, would definitely love to know more about the world.

Final rating: 4/5

Honestly, the book started out terribly. There were lots of things I subjectively did not like as well as a lot of objective flaws it had that brought it down. The first hundred pages were a drag.
But after the first hundred, it suddenly got really good for me. Without spoiling much, something happens with Hans and Adlet and after that, the book gets amazing in my opinion.
In the end, I was strings away from crying. I loved it so much, though it made me sad the ending was one of the best I've read in recent memory. Personally I think the Epilogue kind of disrupted the mood a little but I understand why it was there.
All in all, Yamagata: You are one of my favorite writers now.

Wow.

I guess this is it? Concludes Tgurneu’s arc, but that’s it. Wonder if the author will ever finish writing this series? Looks like this bk was written in 2015 so odds don’t look good, but it’s still a series worth reading. Even if it did drag the mystery of who the 7th is too long.

Much like the previous volume, this one had a lot of (in my opinion) unnecessary fluff and padding prose-wise. I really felt like Yamagata was stretching the drama out too much and over-explaining/elaborating. Will admit I'm not a huge fan of the revelation, a lot of which felt too good to be true, if you really think about it. A lot had to have gone perfectly and it was too neat to feel comfortably plausible. I went in thinking this would be the last book in the series and therefore panicking when so little was covered in what is the longest book in the series to date. However, the ending is a wonderful cliffhanger and I really hope the series won't simply be dropped. I'm still waiting to find out what'll happen to Dozzu and Nashetania, as well as the truth about the Saint of the flower.

Finally the first arc is done! What a ride! I never have thought I would love this series as much as I do.
Though I have to say V6 in my opinion is one of the weaker ones because at some point the plot twists after plot twists that were so great in prior volumes felt illogical and forced. Also some sites in my book had blurry writing which wasn't nice to read but that's besides.
The ending! I have to know how it continues, I want to meet Cargikk and I want to know how Adlet and Fremy will move on! I truly hope V6 won't be the last volume as the series is one of the best things I've ever got the chance to read.

My rating:
4 > 5 > 6 > 2 > 3

Ok. Finally up to date Sans the companion book (which I'm definitely going to read as soon as I can get my hands on it) and OMG.
Tgurneu is one of the best villains ever written, or that I have read. His defeat Les everyone broken. And the heroes are in their most dire situation yet. Carggik promises to be one huge opponent in ways Tgurneu could not be, almost his exact opposite.
Now I can only wait for new times to come up

This isn't the best but it's still a great way for finishing an arc, a damn good arc in this volume you continuously wonder how the hell will the braves stop Tgurneu? He is 200 miles ahead them and the amount of problems which he caused to the braves is absurd but the hope isn't gone and even when everything falls apart Adlet and his friends will never give up. The ending is very interesting but the rest of the book isn't very well written
