Finish of this arc!
Well, you get to learn a bit more of Ralphtalia's and Selena's past. So, this book fills in a lot of gaps.

I enjoyed this novel much more than its predecessor. This installment dialed it back on the excessive women-bashing that was truthfully there just to be there in the previous novel. For me, this volume 14 stuck much closer to the actual plot than volume 13 did. Though, Vol. 14 does still have its fair share of needless details and character appearances.
We all know this is another harem isekai, but the writing clearly pushes Raphtalia and Naofumi’s relationship as the end game, which often makes the inessential pop-ups of the other girls annoying when they’re simply adding to the page count and not the plot’s progression. In addition to this, Naofumi’s refusal to grow is increasing frustrating. I understand that at this point in the series Naofumi is still suffering under the curse of his wrath shield, but this is beginning to drag a bit too much.
I loved seeing more of Raphtalia and her voicing her opinions and feelings. I’m happy that we continue to see her grow into her own person who, still very much in love with him, is no longer completely defined by her relationship to Naofumi. That being said, I do wish we had learned more about her parents. As this installment was written, that’s really Raphtalia’s only intrinsic motivation - and even then she really doesn’t see why she needs to be part of any of this crazy adventure. Unfortunately - for her and for us, the readers - only one new snippet of information regarding the two is given. This information is shared by Sadeena with…Naofumi, who does not have shared moment with Raphtalia where he informs her of this intel - not any that is written in this light novel at least. This kind of moment is really not one to be had off page though. This was a disappointing revelation in the sense that it’s not actually revealed to the one individual who actually cares.
It is also growing more irritating with each novel how cliché the writing - particularly the dialogue - is getting and so unreasonably lengthy. This is truly a problem with all things under the “Shonen” publishing umbrella, but why are we screaming the names of all of our moves and having full on conversations while fighting? The numerous “Oh no you don’t, take this” moments and the characters lecturing each other while fighting is a lot to read through. It, in my opinion, takes so much away from the rest of the writing, slows everything down, and distracts from the main action. How I wish a dedicated editor would find their way onto the team for this series and trim all this fat!
Overall, it’s another addition to a silly isekai that often takes itself quite seriously (but what series in this genre doesn’t?). I am still invested enough to hunt down the next volume, but am I in a rush to buy it…maybe not. Again, though, I am eventually going to give someone my money for the next volume so take all the critiques with however much salt you like.

A slow start with lots of distractions, but a fabulous finish.
These books are potato chips. They are easily eaten, but quickly forgotten. I read volumes three through thirteen while sick in bed, but now that I’ve started to recover, I can think deeper about what I’m consuming. I’ll review the series in general at first, then touch upon this volume at the end.
This series suffers from a problem: there is no character growth until the plot calls for it as a solution to a problem. Whereas many stories have what feels like organic character growth that gives the illusion of the main characters driving the story forward (because, after all, an author has typed all those words that you read, proving nothing is organic about the process in the faintest), this series moves unchanging characters as if they are checkers on a checkerboard, and holds off on important conversations until they can have a dramatic impact. For example, when featured as a soliloquy during a major boss battle. Then the epiphany is accompanied with resultant magical improvement. It feels as if the author has taken LitRPG to heart, allowing character growth to only occur when the characters levels up. Then they go back to being flat checkers while other pieces experience their LitRPG ascension.
Sometimes, that can be tiring to read, as was the case for the first half of this volume. Important conversations about feelings, family history, or truth needed to occur, but where put off while food was prepared, groupies squabbled, or baths were taken. I don’t refer to a short passage. I am referring to serious discussions being artificially delayed while the characters argued about bathing together for pages and pages.
Fortunately, the last half of this volume was much better. The LitRPG aspects of the story didn’t fade, but the story began to feel as if the characters’ decisions, not a wizard behind a curtain, were driving the plot forward. It is a vital illusion authors need to pull off, like clever word magicians. I believe this author recognized the problem in time. Although the first half focused on second tier characters for comedic effect, those (terribly annoying) characters were moved offstage so that the main characters could finally resolve things.
I nearly abandoned the book halfway through. I’m glad I picked it up again. I give it ★★★ ½ ☆

This concludes the big Raphtalia storyline of the last few books. (Though I would have expected Raphtalia to play a somewhat bigger part in her own storyline) It kind of went in a weird direction at the end, but if everything went the way I expected, a lot of stories would be really boring. I do have to ask, though. After 13 books of just including the word "tanuki" why suddenly start translating it to "racoon dog"? There is no one reading this book that does not know what a tanuki is. I promise you. It's fine to just keep using the word. No one is going to be confused by it. Did they switch translators or something? Did the new translator not even bother to check how the previous translator translated things?
And this book probably needed a proofreading pass more than any other book in the series to this point. There were some pretty egregious spelling/grammar/punctuation/homonym errors in this one. It took me two hours to read this book. I could have edited it to a passable state in three. It really does not take much time and effort with a book this short. That is just pure laziness on the part of the English publisher.

Dopo qualche volume sottotono, torna a risalire l'interesse per la storia dell'eroe con lo scudo in un numero che, tra alti e bassi, mette in scena diversi combattimenti serrati e riallaccia alcune storie lasciate in sospeso dai volumi precedenti.
La curiosità di scoprire i misteri dietro alla tartaruga gigante ed ai misteriosi combattenti è sempre più alta, e speriamo che i prossimi numeri restino su questa lunghezza d'onda, per risollevare le sorti di un manga che ha sofferto fin troppo a causa di numeri sottotono.

I can’t believe this entire arc and war started because Naofumi wanted Raphtalia to wear a miko outfit. It’s a little bit ridiculous but all in all it was nice to see and learn some of Raphtalia’s past and history about her family.

Awesome Read
Really good read. Love the action, character development, and the story line. Keeps you wanting more. I certainly recommend reading the whole story.

Honestly, I thought this was a good read, although it felt as if I were pushing myself to continue on more so than others in this series...

Book was okay...more of a filler story...looking forward to things getting back to the main storyline.

It’s giving filler. Very anti-climactic but still a good journey.
