Quite cute and engaging.

I love the dramatic Dale. And Latina is growing up so fast 😱

And yes, more new characters. The school,the friends, new enemies, more magic. I want more!

The first two volumes of "If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord", from which the single season of the anime series was adapted, was nice slice-of-life story in a fantasy setting of a surrogate father raising his demon girl foundling. I enjoyed those stories to enough to read the manga adaptation, which only started to touch the top part of this volume, and the source light novels itself.

There is a tonal shift in the stories as the author starts to condition the reader of a change in the relationship between Dale and Latina. Latina, the once precocious cute demon girl is starting to chafe under the current relationship she with her surrogate parent Dale. Though the hints and foreshadowing of a potential romance between the two were already present in the earlier stories and adaptations, it is still an idea that majorly change the perception of the reader towards this series.

I for one would like to see how all of that unfolded and it seems that everything would be revealed in the next volume.

Good

I really liked how they explored Latina's feelings for Dale, and how she is growing up now. I thought it might've been weird that she started getting feelings for him, but the book is really well written and explains it well.

Although the story's still good, the plot twist kinda slammed my in the face. Latina was holding a torch for Dale all this time? As in potential lover Suddenly this was not your usual slice of life stories anymore.

"My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined." - TheReportOfTheWeek

It's obvious where this series is headed and it's not towards a wholesome father/daughter relationship, which to me, was the whole selling point of this series. It's literally called "if it's for MY DAUGHTER..." Turning a father/daughter relationship into a romantic one is not new to me. I had read Usagi Drop, which was much much more disturbing than this. I'm starting to wonder if it's like.. a fetish or something. From watching enough anime, I start to think that incest fetishes exist in Japan (or atleast there is a market for it, why else is it so prevalent in pop culture?) and I wonder if this is somehow connected. But it's still really disappointing that this book was one of them. How this series was picked up for an anime is beyond me tbh. The writing is considerably bad, as well. The story is going nowhere as of yet. Its horrible. I want my time and my money back

Definitely better than volume 2, though this does start to turn the narrative into a "romantic" tale instead of the "caretaker + dependence" relationship before which may or may not be for you.

I did like that there are other romances explored a bit here, from human romance to interspecies romance and the trouble of worrying about your loved one after you have perished because their lifespan is long.

Also, the demon world and the villains seem like they're about to appear to us soon as we get glimpses in a character's flashback. I'm thinking when they do, this could turn really dark, especially if they ever attack the village.

Stuff happen

Well what did you expect from a slice of life story there is no plot right now but things happen like Latina trying makeup for the first time, going to the festival with friends for the first time. But before that we meet a new character who was captured by Bandits and met the Second demon Lord. So if you like this series you will like this volume not a whole lot has changed but the stuff that has is very engaging.

At work, I am reading this series during my breaks. For this installment of the series, I wasn’t as interested during the middle part of the book. The beginning and end was extremely fun and I couldn’t put it down, but the Rose Princess part was a little boring for me. However, I realize how violent this series can get because of the Rose Princess part.

I can’t wait to start reading the fourth installment!

[Alec Rebert · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yay

It's good like the others so far, I like that you are seeing progression I'm Latina's character and how she is trying her hardest to express her feelings of how she feels to Dale. I just wish Dale wasn't so dense and actually made an effort to actually understand Latina truly.

4.1

[Brenda McGhie]

Wonderful Continuation

Again, book 3 did not disappoint. I love that the storyline advanced 4 years. Latina has grown in beauty and poise but still at a loss on how to handle Dale. Dale still thinks of Latina as his little princess even when those around Latina are aware of her growth going towards adulthood. Can't wait to read book 4.

[Deanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still cute and fluffy, we got a bit more plot about the titular demon lord.

I'm not sure I like how her relationship with Dale is being handled. I guess I have to wait until the next book to see what his answer is.

Another lost review

Fantasy light novel
Dale and Latina's adventures continue as the citizens fall in love with the cute blonde devil girl. Review resubmitted.

[Courtney · Rating 4 out of 5]

I very much enjoy the growth of the characters, and the story line. I just do not understand what one part had to do with the story. But that can change later on.

Rate: 4.5/5

unexpected volume ending

[Wetdryvac · Rating 5 out of 5]

objectification intensifies. excellent world build, but I'm out.

[Mandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

There’s a several-year time jump and it’s officially revealed that Latina wants to confess her non-platonic feelings for Dale. He’s way oblivious.
