This volume was heading toward 4 stars, but the end was just stupid and dragged things out for no payoff. Also all the text/editing mistakes were really disappointing.
A couple sentences at the beginning just didn't make sense which I think must have been poorly translated. A time it said "against" instead of "again", one where I'm pretty sure we meant abyss king but it said ring king (admittedly I did that in a review the other day, but I'm not an official text and I went back and fixed it), and then a repeated word for no reason. Author's note said this volume got out faster than usual but apparently that was just from cutting corners with no editing. Or idk how the schedules worked; maybe the translators weren't expecting it early and had to rush? Anyway.
We finally got an account of the original Ring King. I really loved the vibe of that chapter. Went back and read it all over again. I loved getting the backstory
Trapped with an assortment of princesses...what is poor Satou going to do?
Seeking answer to whether the Abyss King is stronger or if the Ring King lacks something to beat his nemesis Satou and the princesses journey to the elven city of Romca to seek knowledge in impressive graveyard of elves where knowledge from generations past are kept. However while learning of the past the Elder has her own plans to help the crew get stronger pumping up a bit of the intensity. Will Satou be able to hold out and learn from the mistakes from the past or will his dedication to Hime put the world in danger? Only time will tell. :)
