If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord: Volume 4

うちの娘の為ならば、俺はもしかしたら魔王も倒せるかもしれない。/ If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord (Novels) #4

by CHIROLU, KEI (Illustrator), Matthew Warner (Translator)

“I’ve never thought of you as a replacement for my father.”

After Latina tells him about her real feelings on the night of the Ahmar festival, Dale is driven into a deep depression by his beloved daughter's "rebellious phase." It takes a talk with his "big bro" Kenneth for him to see what her words really mean... but how will he respond?

To make matters even more complicated, Latina receives a confession of love from Rudolph, her childhood friend. Love is hard, but this is getting out of hand!

Whatever happens, though, one thing is sure: the relationship between guardian and adoptive daughter is going to change in a big way, and there's no turning back.

After all this time considering Latina as his cute little girl... and oblivious to her confessions, just because they're separated for (nearly) a month, he immediately saw her as a young girl instead of a little girl that he rescued a long time ago.

And... in a shocking turn of events, after accepting Latina's love for him (Dale still holding out since he considered Latina's still too young), he suddenly decided that they should marry.

And the second surprise: Latina was a Demon Lord, so Dale willingly offer himself as her retinue,
so they can spend a long life togeter. WTH??!!! Dale was a hero, with an ability to defeat demon lords. And now he's becoming one of them. What kind of reasoning is that????

I was utterly shocked when finishing this book. Here I was, hoping for a sweet slice of life father-daughter story, and what I found was the previous 3 books was just a prologue. I'm terribly dissapointed and won't consider continuing this series for now.

Even though I took a break from reading this series, I remember the main points from the previous books. In other words, the story is not forgetful!

Anyway, I don’t know why it took me so long to actually read the fourth installment. So far, this installment is my favorite because we have the two dealing with the feelings for one another; also, we are starting to learn more about Latina.

While I think that Dale and Latina’s relationship is wrong, this is a fictional book so I have overlooked that part. In the grand scheme of things, Kenneth and Rita were more like her guardians than Dale. Because I have that mindset, I’m not bothered too much by the idea of their “father/daughter” relationship since I don’t see Dale as her adoptive father.

I hope the fifth book talks more about Latina’s demon background because I’m getting curious with the little tidbits that are sprinkled throughout this book.

I loved it!!!

I have read several online reviews from several websites which were negative. Most could not understand the transition from guardian to lover. From the very beginning in book 1, I immediately felt Dale and Latina's relationship was beyond that of a father and daughter. I felt with their first glance into each other's eyes they were imprinted on each of their hearts. Latina never saw Dale as her father, and Dale's love for Latina far outreached that of an adoptive father. Latina always expressed her love for Dale even though he didn't really understand her feelings. Also, Latina is a devil and how she thinks, grows and feels has always been different from that of a human child. I love that book 4 brought them together as a couple!

So much happened in this book, and it makes me so happy! I really like how Latina and Dale's relationship is developing. Dale's reluctance and eventual acceptance was well developed. This book was so exciting to read that I just couldn't put it down.

Another lost review

Fantasy light novel
Latina continues her adventures while growing up and making more friends. More cuteness. Keeping me entertained. Continuing on.

A lot of drama

Yay

I like this series premise and the way it progresses instead of staying stagnant which is nice, but at times it's hard to tell where the story is. You have transitions that come out of nowhere so it seems to catch me off guard. Regardless I still love Latina and the story so its worth a read
