The sexualities we're reined in??
(very light spoilers ahead. Take with a grain of salt)
I was pleasantly surprised when the sexualities in this novel, perhaps greater than any other before it in the series we're very well regulated. Let me explain. The intense sexual scenes (for a novel anyhow) in previous volumes would have no obvious purpose and understandingly anger people at their lack of usefulness to the plot. There is an argument of course for it being a base for character development, to which I would degree (but only as secondary to other methods), but in this volume particularly the character development method is rapped up very nicely (use your imagination there). Part of this was Rudeus realizing how much of a truly dirty pervert he was (lol) and almost overcorrecting it to the point where his beloved was almost turned down (again, use your imagination). Of course that's not the whole point of this rendition however, but I think that the sexualities nicely expressed the current situation to us on the whole of character development. We meet Aisha, who is way to clever for her own good, and learn a tiny bit more about Lilia, Roxy, Kishirsu, Talhand, elinalise, and others. Overall very well balanced in every aspect. I could go on, but I might end up spoiling more than perhaps I already have.

Man this series does not disappoint it keeps shifting things up and keeping up a high pace/quality.

The main character is a terrible person, but this reads as a redemption story. You get to go on a journey with a weird creepy dude that is starting his life over and trying (sometimes failing) to stop from slipping into his old habits. The story is set in a world with magic and skills. There is plenty of sexual references and terrible internalized monologuing, but the actions of the MC are his attempt at redemption and thank goodness there are no actually graphically detailed scenes in the audio. Guessing by this having been released as a manga/graphic novel or whatever the correct word is for this type of asian comic book, I will absolutely not be interested in the visual imagery.

Four and a half stars for an isekai.
Shortly after this volume starts, the protagonist, who is a forty five or something years old guy who is currently inhabiting a twelve or so years old body (because he got isekai-d from Earth into a fantasy world, where he was born again retaining his memories) comes across the closest thing to rice in this fantasy world so far. He drags his party members on a quest mostly to figure out how to cook rice-related dishes that would properly remind him of home. Along the way he receives another visit by the creepy, flamboyant so called man-god, a supposed deity that has forcefully adopted our protagonist as his disciple. This man-god reveals to Rudeus (our protagonist) that the mother of his half-sister, as well as the sister herself, are being retained in the royal palace of the kingdom of Shirone, incidentally where Rudeus' master, and favorite, Roxy Migurdia had to flee from, because the prince she was teaching wanted to kidnap her into sexual slavery. However, the man-god has kept for himself that Roxy is currently far away from Shirone, because she's travelling through the demon continent in search of Rudeus. Our protagonist believes that he's going to see his beloved master again at the palace.
At this point, Roxy has put two and two together and has understood that her and Rudeus passed each other on a port town, and that they are currently far away from each other. Her focus shifts towards finding other members of Rudeus' family. She's being accompanied by some dwarf and a very horny elf.
Rudeus was told by the man-god not to tell his real name to the local guards nor to anyone at the palace in general. He fucks it up in a letter, but he only gets the consequences later on. His half-sister Aisha had been trying to sneak a letter out of the palace, but some guards were after her. Rudeus saves her, and puts her in the care of his party members. However, Rudeus avoids admitting to his half-sister that he's his big brother, because Aisha had gotten in her head that his big brother was a huge pervert and that he might go as far as attempting to sexually abuse her six years old self. And to be fair, she isn't that far off: during the rescue, Aisha had pissed herself. As Rudeus changed her clothes and handled her pissed panties, he treats us with a long monologue about his surprise because touching and smelling his six years old half-sister's panties soaked in piss doesn't make him hard. Those two bombs really did a number on the Japanese.
Practically nothing in any fictional story I have come across bothers me (except if it's politics I disagree with), but apparently my line is at wanting to get hard through your six year old sister's piss-soaked panties. Plenty of stories inspired in some way or another by "Mushoku Tensei" have been adapted into mangas and animes, but MT had remained untouched, and all the weird sexual stuff is the only reason. The anime wasn't shy about including many of the most controversial aspects of the light novel series, including the fact that the protagonist was jerking off to loli hentai, and even added more perverted stuff on top of it, but I have a hard time believing they will include this moment.
In any case, when Rudeus enters the palace and meets the prince whom Roxy used to teach, he finds out that he's holding Lilia, the mother of his half-sister, hostage, and the prince quickly imprisons Rudeus in a cell that nullifies his magic. Interestingly, though, we are introduced to a new character that ended up being quite compelling. It's another one of the princes of that kingdom, a lanky, nerdy-looking guy obsessed with figurines, and who had smelled that Rudeus had been making some of the best he had come across. Saying that the guy is obsessed with figurines is an euphemism: the guy beheaded one of his infant brothers as well as his wife because he wasn't occupied with figurines at the time. He has some sort of inborn superpower that makes him unbelievably strong, and although the rest of his family feared him, they considered him too much of a secret weapon to banish him. The guy learns that his hated pissant of a brother, who wanted to lure Roxy in to turn her into his sex slave, was behind imprisoning Rudeus, and this nerdy prince captures the worse prince to force him to release our protagonist. After a whole mess involving other more rational princes, Rudeus gets released along with his half-sister and his half-sister's mother, and both the nerdy prince and the bastardly one are banished from the kingdom.
The six years old half-sister realizes that his big brother is kind of cool, despite the whole wanting to masturbate with her piss-soaked panties, and promises that one day she might serve him or whatever. Her mother, who is a bit out there, had promised herself that she was going to repay Rudeus by offering her daughter as a maid.
My least favorite part of this volume involves Rudeus meeting Lilia, his half-sister's mom, again. Lilia started disliking Rudeus when he was a baby, because due to his pervertedness she believed that he must have been possessed by a demon. But after Lilia seduced Rudeus' father and got herself pregnant, Rudeus interceded to prevent Lilia from getting exiled from their household, therefore saving not only Lilia but also her unborn baby. There must have been many complicated feelings between Lilia and the protagonist, but their meeting years later was disappointingly dry.
Rudeus and his party members (Eris, a fifteen years old, violent redhead whom Rudeus wants to do sexual things to, and who received Rudeus' lessons; Ruijerd, a badass demon warrior whom everybody else fears) are getting real close to the endpoint of their journey, and therefore of this arc. This arc started when some mana disaster or another destroyed the whole region were they were living, and its inhabitants were teleported here and there all over the world. Rudeus had promised that he would return Eris to her family back at the disaster zone. Before they reach it, though, they need to pass through some dangerous pass that's infested with a kind of dragon. However, dragons don't bother our party at all. Instead they come across the Dragon God, a guy who is the second strongest in the world and who seemingly knows every existing technique, magical or otherwise, including seeing the future. However, our protagonist doesn't seem to appear in the guy's predictions, probably because Rudeus belongs to another world. Upon learning that Rudeus is a sort of disciple of the man-god, this Dragon God straight up murders Rudeus, who dies for a moment. However, some mysterious girl who was following the Dragon God asks him to save the protagonist, and Rudeus and his party members are left distraught by how easily they had been obliterated.
Ruijerd, a demon warrior belonging to a hated race, learns through Rudeus that their terrible reputation is due to a curse that's fading away. That satisfies him, although it's hard to consider this a win for Rudeus, who had made one of his main goals to clear the reputation of Ruijerd's tribe. In any case, minutes away from the Fittoa disaster zone, Ruijerd announces that he's done his job and that he's parting ways. Eris and Rudeus rejoin not only Eris' family's main servant, but also fan favorite Ghislaine, who had found her way back home. Things are fucked, though: both of Eris' parents are supposedly dead, and also her boisterous grandfather. The grandfather, a local ruler, had gotten beheaded by some higher-ups because someone had to take responsibility for the mana disaster that nobody knew why had happened.
Eris isn't sure what she wants to do now, except that she is sure she wants to have sex with Rudeus. That night she offers herself to him. Rudeus resists, probably because he's mentally forty seven and she's fifteen, but Eris asks him seductively whether he wants her to become his little kitty, and Rudeus loses his mind as well as his virginity. Eris was a virgin as well, not that it particularly matters in this case. However, Eris didn't feel that she could stay around, because getting defeated by the second strongest in the world showed that she had too much to learn and that she was holding Rudeus back, so she takes Ghislaine and leaves to train and shit. Rudeus finds himself fully alone.
Meanwhile, Roxy has a drinking contest in the demon continent that happens to include the demon empress Kishirika Kishirisu. Roxy was nice to the demon empress, who is known to be very grateful with those who treat her well. As payment, Roxy asks the empress to reveal the locations of the remaining members of Rudeus' family. We learn that Rudeus' mother is somehow inside one of the world's most dangerous labyrinths, but apparently alive. Our protagonist doesn't know this, though. Roxy's party splits in two. The horny elf and some local demon lord that Kishirisu is betrothed to will inform Rudeus of these news (incidentally, the fact that the guy's dick is too big and Kishirisu's pussy too small is a plot point), and Roxy and his dwarf party member will locate Rudeus' father to inform him as well.
This is pretty much where this volume ends, although I have read a bit of the following one and I'm not sure where the beginning of the next arc falls. In any case, the whole mess of the Fittoa mana disaster has finished. It was one of the oddest arcs in any Japanese series that I have consumed in these last few years. They didn't intend to achieve anything in particular beyond returning home, and all that happened along the way had to do with learning about the world, getting stronger and getting to know each other better. I did enjoy it a lot, but I wonder if I would have if I didn't care a lot for the characters.
In any case, it's "Mushoku Tensei" being itself. If you haven't been thrown off by plenty of stuff it does, you are likely along for the ride until the end.

Still quality but having read six of these in a row I need a break.
February 15, 2021
Many payoffs happened
Things have progressed nicely
Couldn’t put this one down either
But while the elements of the story and plot itself is grand and epic. And there are quite adult themes at play here. I felt myself wanting for some eloquence in the prose to accompany it
There is a tendency to explain away some plot and character developments. And while I can accept that this a result of the medium and the demographic it is targeting I nevertheless a left wanting
But regardless. It has been thrilling and I’m continuing on to the next
Some details to follow
3 stars is a good rating just by the way lol

There isn’t much to add here
Since I don’t of the original Japanese pros is like this or the English translation is the reason it leaves so,etching to be desired.
Very major beats start happening
Like the fact that Rudeus fights a god
That Eris and him elope
The fact he resumes Lilia and Aisha.
Or the fact that the entire book, Rudeus’s narrative and even the cover art want to make you think that Ruijerd is going to die, only to sweep it from under you in a good way and then bludgeon you with the deaths of Eris’s entire family. (This was done well)
Or the fact that it hints that the political machinations seem to start getting intertwined with Eris and Rudeus as she is supposed to go become a concubine for a noble whom is being served by a Boryart or Greyrart (can’t remember)
And you’re like aha! So this is the connection with Ariel and Fitz departure and now Eris is going to become entangled with the political power conflict right?
No, she goes off with ghislaine to train after spending the night with Rudeus
I don’t mind all this
But all major beats have to be wrapped up very swiftly and it just leaves you with wanting a little more explanation or a breather
Plus, I have to say it now, all character’s internal monologue sound the same as Ruijerd. This is perhaps I have read many greater fantasy novels where the tone of voice and dialogue marks a change I’m character. Perhaps that is too much expectation from a light novel series.
Perhaps my expectations for the series have begun to rise and I expect for from it than the usual anime-esq character reasonings
And how the hell is the list of all persons within the fitora region able to be fitted within a board at a guild and updated very regularly, such that Sylphie is marked alive??
If you can imagine a giant board, it still doesn’t explain how Rudeus and the others just keep managing to find the relevant information on it so easily. Like Paul’s message.
Maybe we can consider Rudeus and Eris and Roxy before him just spent a long time looking but that wasn’t shown in a light novel since describing it would be boring.
And also perhaps sylphie being marked as alive and identified by someone is a plot point that will later be explained.
Just read Senlin Ascends and one would realise the lack of utility in keeping such a board for posting missing persons. Of course, that case differed where an entire population was coming to the Tower of Babel and the sheer size of the tower and volume of the people involved lead to that impracticality, and is the primary inciting incident that starts the story, but I digress.
But I guess I should griped about this aspect 3 novels ago when Roxy first came across it.
All I am saying is the bulletin board seems too well maintained to reflect the catastrophe that has happened accurately.
I mean, Eris’s grandfather got executed for the catastrophe!
But perhaps that’s a bit too harsh. Since we know of Paul’s displacement force which is said to be tirelessly working to get everyone back so I think that’s been explained to an extent.
But barring all that. I still greatly enjoy the story so far. Because the progress it has made in character relations, world building and how so many plot points are now converting and connecting which were only being hinted at in extra chapters. It’s fun to follow along, and I am hoping that the author pulls off what he plans to do with them.
I think this is the first time I have taken the time to criticise the books in the series so far and I don’t think these small issues will change. Regardless, this is a testament to the story and world where I want it to read better, like a genuine fantasy contender, rather than being bogged by its own medium.

ESTA RESEÑA CONTIENE SPOILERS
El libro 6 de Mushoku Tensei nos relata la travesía que vive Rudeus, Eris y Ruijerd para rescatar a la familia de Rudy.
Esta reseña la haré distinta a como suelo hacerla, nombrando sus puntos buenos y malos a forma de lista. Sin embargo en ambitos generales me gustó y a la vez no, y es que realmente hubieron cosas que me desagradaron bastante, pero considero que las cosas positivas que hay en este volumen son mayores y compensan lo malo que pudé encontrar en esta novela.
LO QUE *NO* ME GUSTO:
- Que el protagonista continua siendo un pervertido y no creo que algún día cambie
- Cuando Eris y Rudeus tienen relaciones sexuales, no me gustó y no es que la escena me traumo ya que he leído cosas más especificas que eso pero en lo personal las escenas de romance de Mushoku Tensei no me agradan es como si existe una espina todo el tiempo que me molesta, y tal vez sea porque el tipo ya tenia más de 40 años y el hecho que le gusten de 15 me sigue incomodando, soy conciente que ahora el tipo esta en un cuerpo de niño de 12 pero eso no quita todo lo que ha vivido, solo piensen las personas mayores que tienen de 20 años para arriba, ¿Les gustan niñas/os de 4 como tenía Sylphy al inicio de la historia o de 15 años que es la edad que tiene actualmente en este libro Eris? Según yo sería bien raro de tu parte decir que si y eso es lo que principalmente me continua incomodando.
- Odiooo que todas las mujeres de Mushoku Tensi les guste o Rudeus o Paul, y como describen que ellos son únicos y diferentes y que solo quieren estar con ellos (en serio da pena ajena, para).
- En este volumen en particular lo que mas me dio rabia fue el hecho de que Eris se rebajara tanto como persona sobre todo la frase en donde dijo: -A quien le importanta que solo sea una recompensa.
¿En serio Eris? Quiere tantito porfavooooor
LO QUE ME GUSTO:
- Aisha se me hace un personaje increible, es la cosa más adorable e inteligente de este mundo
- Cuando apareció el Dios Dragón (Orsted) fue épico, se que casi mata al protagonista pero aun así fue épico, y además me hizo mucha gracia porque justo me habían dado ganas de leer algo que tuviera que ver con dragones y aparecen dragones y el Dios Dragón. Ameeeee esa parte
- La despedida de Ruijerd, aunque no la sufrí tanto no quería que se fuera :(
- Cuando Eris se entera que su familia murió, suena raro poner que me gustó pero lo que realmente me gusta es el sufrimiento y que exista drama jaja
- Los capitulos de Roxy siempre me alegran el día, nadie puede ser tan perfecta como esta chica la adoro
- Amo a Kishiriika es uno de mis personajes favoritos y cuando sale siempre me encantan sus capitulos, y ni hablar cuando apareció su esposo el Rey Demonio BadiGadi (que pareja tan peculiar, para no decir rara jaja)
El libro 6 de Mushoku Tensei nos relata la travesía que vive Rudeus, Eris y Ruijerd para rescatar a la familia de Rudy.
Esta reseña la haré distinta a como suelo hacerla, nombrando sus puntos buenos y malos a forma de lista. Sin embargo en ambitos generales me gustó y a la vez no, y es que realmente hubieron cosas que me desagradaron bastante, pero considero que las cosas positivas que hay en este volumen son mayores y compensan lo malo que pudé encontrar en esta novela.
LO QUE *NO* ME GUSTO:
- Que el protagonista continua siendo un pervertido y no creo que algún día cambie
- Cuando Eris y Rudeus tienen relaciones sexuales, no me gustó y no es que la escena me traumo ya que he leído cosas más especificas que eso pero en lo personal las escenas de romance de Mushoku Tensei no me agradan es como si existe una espina todo el tiempo que me molesta, y tal vez sea porque el tipo ya tenia más de 40 años y el hecho que le gusten de 15 me sigue incomodando, soy conciente que ahora el tipo esta en un cuerpo de niño de 12 pero eso no quita todo lo que ha vivido, solo piensen las personas mayores que tienen de 20 años para arriba, ¿Les gustan niñas/os de 4 como tenía Sylphy al inicio de la historia o de 15 años que es la edad que tiene actualmente en este libro Eris?

Well, well, well… there’s been some interesting information in this volume, we’re still very much in the same wavelength as the anime, but we’re definitely getting more and more hints or pieces of information that are clearly crucial to the story and the further development of characters that have been omitted for the animation. I’ll keep ranting but I do want to leave the warning here.
***SPOILERS AHEAD***
My takeaways for now are:
1. The Man-God is far more shady than I thought at the beginning. I mean, not that I ever trusted him, but one thing is knowing he’s a little sus but he’s trying to help out, and a very different one is realising he blatantly lies about what he knows and then sort of shuts up when he gets caught. This sounds like a dangerous character down the road, but he seems seriously interested in Rudy so a lot could happen.
2. Rudeus is far more powerful than he thinks. I don’t even think he realises just how much, but having two immortal or God-like people comparing him to Laplace this early on… I can’t imagine how he’ll grow as a character but I foresee something epic happening soon.
3. Curses, the newest trend. Just how many curses can people have in this world? I knew of their existence, usually people or a tribe have one placed on them, but what exactly happened to Orsted? Did he win the lottery? The guy is practically a living, walking curse… and I don’t think that’s good. This smells like problems down the line.
4. Nanahoshi! Ok, bear with me, I’ve already seen the anime so I know where she comes from, but I really gotta give it to the author here because he’s been leaving tiny little hints of who she is and where she comes and I love them. They’re so very subtle, but if you happen to stumble into the books before the anime they are just perfect. Which just tells me that everything this author writes is important and will definitely come back later.
I’m loving the story, it’s extremely well done, it’s written with care, a lot of thought, love, and we’re never forgetting about the rest of the characters even though Rudeus is our protagonist.

Volume kali menceritakan tentang perjalanan kelompok "Dead End" di Benua Tengah. Dalam perjalanan ini, mereka mampir di Kerajaan Shirone dan di kerajaan inilah kelompok ini mampu menyelematkan keluarga Rudeus yang sempat ditahan di Kerajaan Shirone yakni Lilia dan Aisha. Setelah menyelamatkan mereka berdua, Lilia dan Aisha akhirnya pergi menemui Paul yang berada di Kota Milis sedangkan kelompok "Dead End" melanjutkan perjalanan mereka menuju Kerajaan Asura. Selama di perjalanan menuju Kerajaan Asura, kelompok "Dead End" bertemu dengan sosok Dewa Naga yang akhirnya mengalahkan mereka dengan telak. Tapi syukurlah, kelompok "Dead End" mampu bertahan dan bisa melanjutkan perjalanannya.
Setibanya mereka di Kerajaan Asura, Ruijerd akhirnya memutuskan untuk berpisah dengan Rudeus dan Eris karena ia berpikir bahwa tugasnya telah selesai untuk mengantarkan mereka berdua ke kampung halaman mereka. Ruijerd meneruskan perjalanannya untuk menemukan ras supard lainnya sedangkan Rudeus dan Eris menuju ke tempat pengungsian. Sesampainya mereka di daerah pengungsian, Rudeus dan Eris mendapati kenyataan pahit bahwa Sauro, Phillip, dan Hilda telah meninggal dunia. Dengan kematian mereka, keberadaan Eris menjadi sebuah permasalaah politik. Namun akhirnya, Eris memilih pergi bersama Ghyslane untuk meningkatkan teknik berpedangnya.
Di sisi lain, Roxy, Tallhand, dan Elinase sudah berada di Kota Karasuma. Selama di kota tersebut, mereka bertemu dengan Kaisar Agung Bangsa Iblis, Khisirika Kishirsu. Dalam pertemuan tersebut, Roxy mengetahui keberadaan seluruh anggota keluarga Greygat. Dengan hal ini, kelompok yang mereka miliki terbagi menjadi dua, Roxy dan Tallhand akan kembali ke Kota Milis untuk memberitahu keberadaan Zenith kepada Paul sedangkan Elinase akan melintasi Benua Laut dan menemui Rudeus untuk memberikan informasi terkait tentang keberadaan keluaganya.
Love it!!!

Without giving much away about the light novel and the anime, the light novel has a lot more detailed events then the anime did, granted the book is 90% better than the anime or tv show. It was a good read as for the preparation for the new season is about to come out and it is nice to be able to read ahead of the anime so that way you are able to know what is going to happen and when it is going to happen and you are able to notice the things that they leave out when new episodes or during that episode comes out. I know I have been able to spot the little things when reading this series in comparison to the anime. But all in all this series has not disappointed me yet and I hope that it continues to impress me and I am very excited to see what comes next in the series and I hope that more people read this because they liked the anime, that is my reason for reading this, it is because I got to impatient and couldn’t wait for the new season. They still make connections to Rudeus’ old life and that is one of the things that you can really appreciate about the author and his writing because he will put references of his old life at some point and how it sometimes haunts him when he thinks about it. All in all this is a book series that people should read if you enjoyed that anime.

I’ve just finished Volume 6 of *Mushoku Tensei*, and I have to say, I’ve been feeling this strange sense of melancholy ever since. The volume does an incredible job of creating this atmosphere where you can really feel a journey coming to an end. This is partly due to the incredible variety of scenarios we encounter here: we start with the familiar adventures of Rudeus, Eris, and Ruijerd, which we’ve come to expect over the last few volumes. This time, we’re in Shirone, though the setting doesn’t last the whole book. Still, it captures the essence of the earlier volumes—a central conflict (rescuing Aisha and Lilia) tied to the setting (the royal family of Shirone), which the trio resolves by splitting up and tackling different problems independently, before reuniting to wrap things up.
It’s this similar structure that makes the extended epilogue, where they say goodbye to Ruijerd and return to their more complicated, sombre lives, hit so hard. Looking back, the journey feels almost like a beautiful dream: Rudeus, Eris, and Ruijerd had each other, they had a shared goal, and along the way, they grew as individuals and as a team. They faced conflicts that, while challenging, never felt too overwhelming, and they spent months in each place they visited, learning about the world, its cultures, and its people. But once they reach the refugee camp, reality comes crashing down. They lose their shared purpose and go their separate ways—Ruijerd goes to find the surviving Superds, Eris leaves to train on her own, and Rudeus continues the search for his family.
In that moment, they realize that none of them really have a home anymore—Ruijerd because he’s lost touch with his people, Eris because her family and kingdom are gone, and Rudeus because he’s lost the person who essentially was his home. This feeling of being lost is followed by a search for a new direction. It’s only now that the full impact of the Displacement Incident becomes clear. Until now, their lives were almost carefree, but suddenly, they’re hit with reality. This is hinted at subtly in the final chapters at the refugee camp, but it’s made much more explicit with Orsted’s sudden appearance, which shakes up the group and brings an abrupt end to their journey.
Orsted, in a way, symbolizes the end of this dream-like adventure, pulling the characters back into reality. This shift is emphasized by the role of the Man God, who plays a crucial part in this turning point. It’s because of him that Orsted attacks Rudeus; this attack amplifies Eris’ fears of not being strong enough to stand by Rudeus’ side and feeling like a burden. It’s also through his revelations about the Superds’ curse that Ruijerd finds new hope and is finally able to express his long-suppressed emotions. At the same time, the appearance of both Orsted and the Man God raises a lot of narrative questions, particularly about how much they know and how Rudeus’ presence has potentially thrown the world out of balance (since, according to Orsted, Paul was supposed to have only two daughters, and not Rudeus).
The way the Man God intervenes in the plot is both mysterious and dynamic, never feeling static. He gives Rudeus guidance, but it’s not straightforward—Rudeus constantly has to figure out how to best use the hints he’s given. He comes up with plans, only to realize later that he didn’t follow all the steps and has strayed off course. This divine intervention doesn’t feel like a cop-out because it doesn’t just solve the characters’ problems; it forces them to actively engage with them, which drives their development. It works well, even though Rudeus gets supernatural help to steer the plot, because he doesn’t blindly follow the path laid out for him. Plus, the figure giving these prophecies seems to have its own hidden agenda, which adds a layer of intrigue and raises the Man God from a mere deity to more of a shadowy manipulator and schemer behind the scenes.
A new character I really liked in this volume was Aisha. At first, I thought she might be reincarnated like Rudeus because of her high intelligence and language skills, but Rudeus himself considers this and dismisses it through his own questioning. What I love about her is how quick-witted she is, outsmarting both Rudeus and Lilia. She’s one of those characters who has a clear gap between what she knows and what she says, which makes her really interesting as the plot moves forward.
On the flip side, Zanoba is her total opposite. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is brutally honest in everything he says and does. This makes him such a refreshing character compared to everyone else. He’s got the power to destroy an entire kingdom, but all he cares about are dolls and figures, and he’s completely unapologetic about it. I love how he stands by his passion without fear of social rejection, which makes him incredibly endearing.
The ending was tragic but entirely understandable from both sides. We know how much Eris struggles with empathy and expressing her feelings, so we can see why she left Rudeus and couldn’t find the right words to him. At the same time, it’s clear why Rudeus misunderstood her actions and ended up heartbroken. The tragedy is in how well we understand both perspectives, which makes the situation feel inevitable, in a way. From Volume 2 onwards, we’ve only seen Rudeus’ viewpoint on their relationship, and it’s only after the climax of their relationship—the night they spend together—that we finally get to see inside Eris’ mind. This delay made interpreting her behavior more engaging for us as readers, since we had to piece together her feelings just as Rudeus did.
It makes total sense why the anime ended here. This volume really feels like the close of one chapter and the start of a new one. Now I’m finally moving on to the second season’s content, and I’m excited to see how they’ve adapted it compared to the books!

So much has happened this volume, probably my most and least favorite so far. Starting off with the Dragon King, that's a fuckin shocker. Who would've expected such a big shot to just coincidentally stumble upon them? I kept thinking Ruijerd was invincible this entire time, but when he was trembling in fear I was SHOOK. I didn't think I would see the day he would get defeated at all... But we still don't know why he decided to revive Rudy. Then came Ruijerd's decision to just leave. Man, that was so damn emotional. It was written and it played out so damn well. Props to the author. But here's the outraging part... Eris just left like that. Wow. And after they fornicated. Like??? WHY??? There's no excuse for anyone to leave someone they love behind especially after... I'm so done. I'm actually disappointed.

Compared to the previous novels it was a better read. Especially the second part. I started reading this book beginning of march and stopped almost halfway through because it was so boring. The second halve was better.
Rudeus save Lilith and her daughter (his half-sister) Aisha then returns to Elis's home where Ruijerd departs :( and Elis's get her birthday present and then she leaves, also because all her family is basically dead.
During the last month of journey they meat a "Dragon God", who, when it finds out Rudeus is "Man-god's apostle" decimates the group, because he hates Man God.
All in all the second half was a 3 star, the first half an 1 star.

November 20, 2024Dios que manera de llorar. Es el más volumen más completo hasta ahora. Aparte como van construyendo la boludes de la bombacha de Roxy desde el tomo 1 para que al final tenga importancia para resolver todo el conflicto más grande hasta ahora. Tenes que cerrar estadio los genios hacen esto. El tramo final me hizo recordar a mi infancia y como a los 13 ya cojias en medio de los yuyos y después venían tus viejos a cagarte a palos por hacer eso. Es lindo ver los puntos de vista de Rudy y Eris de como se sienten en el momento. Se nota que el autor sabe lo que hace explorando la condición humana de los personajes.

Really good book. I really liked the conclusion to the total adventure arc with the fight with the dragon king and everything that happened in fittoa. At some points it wasn’t as fast as the previous books like with the Aisha and Lilia rescue part but overall I really like where the story is tying together for previous books. Especially the forshadowing of Zenith being stuck in a labyrinth and I hope there is an arc of everyone getting back together(Rudeus, Roxy, Sylphy, Erie, Ruijerd, and the Black Fang party) to rescue her.

And end of a chapter.
This was a really good pseudo-wrap up. Rudy finally met more of his family, his bonds with Eris and Ruijerd have finally reached their destination, and the entirety of the calamity is almost done. There were lots of good world building that is most likely set up for later down the series. The character interactions are great and did not disappoint. Very satisfying.

So this is as far as the anime goes. But I wasn't bored whatsoever catching up. It was super fun to read so far. I love the world and characters and everything about it. I love how the worldbuilding and character growth were written much simpler compared to western fantasy novels. I am excited to read further and fall in love with this series.

There were a bunch of unexplained references to media. I liked reading about Rudeus experiencing many intense moments such as falling into the seventh prince's trap, befriending the third prince, rescuing Lilia and Aisha, being killed and revived by Orsted, having his first time with Eris, and losing both Eris and Ruijerd as companions.

It feels like the story is moving faster now. And yes, the manga and the anime are following this prime story pretty much perfectly.
Another huge turning point in this one. Death is hardcore, after all.
They head off to save Rudy's half-sister and mother and fun story hell happens. ... and then Iris happens, too. Sigh.
I'm having a lot of fun in this series -- again. :)

Wow. Just wow
I can't seem to put the book down. I loved how Rudy continues to be level headed. Yes its true because of his knowledge from his past life. The only thing that I was weird out was about eris and Rudy sex night.

This is perfect. This volume just solidifies that the light novel is better than the anime. I wish we could of seen that Eris chapter near the end put into the anime in some way. I love this story so much.

Ver a la hermana de Rudeus fue divertido, un personaje con una personalidad divertida y marcada, así como las resoluciones de la llegada del viaje, sin contar el conocimiento de un Dios...
Me encanto un cap, cargado de cosas positivas.

This was my least favorite part of the anime and I much prefer this view of it. Altogether the anime has been faithfully if not the exact same as the LN which is refreshing. Knowing my favorite character may be gone for the foreseeable future still hurts 🥲 (Despite dreading the ending i still read this in less than 24 hrs)

The entire encounter with Orsted was brilliantly done, he had so much presence and you felt the fear the characters had in this situation.
