Fate/Strange Fake 1

Fate/strange Fake #1

by Ryohgo Narita, Siduki Morii (Illustrator), Type-Moon (Original Planing)

“Untuk memperoleh alat yang dapat mengabulkan keinginan apa pun, para Magi memanggil Heroic Spirit mereka masing-masing dan bersaing dalam Holy Grail War.”

Beberapa tahun setelah Holy Grail Kelima diadakan di Jepang, pertarungan berikutnya dimulai di Snowfield, Amerika Barat. Pertarungan tersebut adalah Holy Grail War yang penuh dengan kepalsuan. Meski mengetahui hal itu, seluruh Magi dan Heroic Spirit tetap berkumpul untuk menari di atas panggung palsu ini.
Asli atau palsu tidak berarti bagi mereka.
Bukan demi Holy Grail… tapi demi keyakinan mereka masing-masing.

Lalu, apakah cawan yang telah terisi penuh itu memang palsu, asli, atau…

About the author

Ryohgo Narita (成田 良悟, Narita Ryōgo) is a Japanese light novelist. He won the Gold Prize in the 9th Dengeki Novel Prize for Baccano!, which was made into a TV anime in 2007.[1] His series Durarara!! was also made into a TV anime, which began airing January 2010


There are two traits found in most of Narita's works:
* Narita writes extremely fast, one volume a month if he wishes - with tons of spelling errors and missing words as a tradeoff. The editors like to leave them sometimes just for fun, though.
* His work titles often have an exclamation mark at the end (i.e. Baccano!, Vamp!, Durarara!!, etc.).

4 stars. We've only been introduced to a bunch of characters in the story so far, but I'm excited to see a bunch of characters that I've heard about (Alcides and Ishtar)! Let's just hope I can keep track of who all of the characters are because I already forgot most of the masters' names-

4,5/5 ⭐

[Tyler Wise · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so fantastic! Most of the novel are prologue chapters that show how each Master gets their servant and so in a way it feels like a series of loosely connected short stories at first. But then it slowly comes together more and more and has a truly epic battle in it as its opening move that would have been worthy as a Grail War finale. To think it starts with that...I cannot imagine what can be ahead from here.

There's so many twists on how Fate's many magic systems work. I don't want to spoil it but the character that becomes Berserker, oh my god, that is THE coolest concept I've read in a long time. Probably the most original take on this character of all time. I can't wait to see what happens with them especially.

It's a real shame this hasn't been translated officially. I hope that changes soon what with the full anime version announced.

Beberapa tahun setelah Holy Grail War Kelima diadakan di Jepang, pertarungan berikutnya dimulai di Snowfield, Amerika Barat. Pertarungan tersebut adalah Holy Grail War yang penuh dengan kepalsuan. Meski mengetahui hal itu, seluruh Magi dan Heroic Spirit tetap berkumpul untuk menari di atas panggung palsu ini.

Bagi penggemar seri anime dan game fate seperti aku. Membaca light novel ini berasa memberikanku sebuah sudut pandang baru mengenai fate universe yang berbeda namun masih memiliki kaitan dengan series fate yang pernah ku tonton sebelumnya.

Lalu untuk teman-teman belum pernah mengikuti seri fate atau bingung harus memulai dari mana?, Tenang aja, karena kalian bisa memulai dari seri light novel ini. Pada bab awal buku ini juga akan dijelaskan secara lengkap mengenai istilah-istilah dalam fate, seperti "Holy Grail War", "Master", "Servant", "Heroic Spirit" dan masih banyak lagi istilah lainnya yang akan membawa kalian berkenalan dengan dunia dalam seri Fate.

Selain itu pada halaman awal buku ini kita juga akan diperkenalkan dengan para tokoh yang akan terlibat dalam Holy Grail War palsu ini melalui ilustrasi gambar dan deskripsi karakter.

Namun tidak hanya pada bagian awal pengenalan karakter saja yang dilengkapi dengan ilustrasi. Sepanjang kalian mengikuti alur cerita dalam novel ini, kalian akan melihat beberapa ilustrasi gambar yang sengaja disisipkan pada setiap babnya untuk menggambarkan adegan yang sedang terjadi dalam cerita. Sehingga kalian tak akan pernah bosan membalik halaman untuk mengikuti kisah para servant.

Terakhir, meski sebagian besar isi cerita dalam novel ini baru berupa prolog saja. Namun menurutku seri pertama light novel ini sudah berhasil menjadi awal pembuka yang menakjubkan untuk seri berikutnya.

There is a potential spoiler in this review.

A strong start for a longrun series, there is a few character that apparently appear in other Fate series like Fate Stay Night, Fate Grand Order Babylonia, Fate Stay Night Sequel. If you want to know lores of some character then you must follow other series first before you start to read this series.

All the character pretty hook me to know their motives and how they perceive this war. And things that i like about fate is, all the character even the villain got their screen time and what happen at the background. So when the 'war' / some character met at one point, we can pulled into the books more. I dunno is it just me or no, but that is what i felt.
And other things that i like from fate is always their refrence, almost all character that appear in this series is based on myth/legend/epos/ human made narrative etc.. so if you like me that read and wrote all the refrence that you can find, that this book is for you.

There is also a few pages of illustration that help you to imagine the scene

Memang masih prolog alias memperkenalkan para karakter tapi sejauh ini menarik dan jadi penasaran dengan kelanjutan ceritanya. Untuk kualitas terjemahan sudah bagus, mengalir dan mudah dipahami ditambah ada beberapa catatan kakk untuk memperjelas suatu kata namun ada juga yang hanya diberi tanda miring tanpa diberi penjelasan apa-apa. Ilustrasi sampul depan dan di dalam buku juga keren. Jadi dapat disimpulkan akan membeli vol ke 2 dalam waktu dekat ini, mudah-mudahan.

I reviewed this for Lady Business, but what you actually need to know is that ensemble casts doing high-octane nonsense is exactly Narita Ryohgo's skill set and I'm honestly amazed there are Fate series that he ISN'T writing.

Masih pengenalan/prolog, perang cawan sucinya bakal beneran dimulai di jilid 2.

Tapi saya agak ngerasa aneh sama FATE yang satu ini, berbeda dari Fate yang lain yang memuat sejarah para Servant lebih terbuka dan gamblang. Fate ini menceritakan tentang Servant-nya setengah-setengah, padahal tujuan prolog ini adalah menjelaskan tentang para servant itu sendiri.

Sebenernya gw udh lama ngikutin fate jadi gak terlalu pusing pas baca novel ini soalnya kaya agak nyambung gitu sama series fate yg lain, yg aku suka dari buku ini tuh karena ada cover gilgameshnya sih jadi keterusan beli bukunya soalnya pengen tau kelanjutan gilgamesh w gimana

I am so excited for what’s to follow, I’ve seen the promotional episode 0 and the first episode of the anime but the rest of the series isn’t coming for a few months so I decided to read the light novel.

[Mokyo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Since the anime is airing now (finally), I thought it was a good time to read the novels. This was a good introduction for this particular setting. All of the characters are so fun, and I can't wait to read the next book in this series soon!

[Emina Lê · Rating 4 out of 5]

All of the book are prologues. Nothing important happened yet

[Ajeng. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cannot believe even for the prologue only this novel is already cool!!! I will not hesitate to fall into this Fate Series fandom when I finished reading all the volumes of this novel.

[Blank · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sebuah volume yang khusus untuk perkenalan, not bad, but might throw someone off guard.

[Nick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wonderful set up for a holy grail war and i love the servants being used

[Andrew Vu · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good plot, good background like Fate/zero

[Idir Yacine · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorite series of all time you just wont find this level of dark fantasy and creativity any where else 10/10

[FlynnMegamiTensei · Rating 4 out of 5]

Better than the Prologue

[Chase Duncan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ryohgo Narita is an expert in crafting intricately fascinating worlds even within the prosaicly simpler confines of light novel genre. He does an excellent job in taking the complex world of Nasuverse and making it own while constantly paying subtle homages to the original stories in a way that rewards veterans of the franchise.

This first entry reminds me a lot of Hyperion by Dan Simmons in that it is mostly a book that (re)introduces you to the world and characters that will populate this battle royale story, but you don't mind the relative lack of story progressing action because the set-up is so interesting. It's, in my opinion, not a product I'd recommend to newcomers of the Type-Moon universe, but I understand why new fans would be drawn to reading it or watching the anime because of how eye catching it is. Anyone who love Narita or Type-Moon can enjoy this first novel, but it will be most appreciated by someone who has already experienced the rest of the Nasuverse series.

Spin-off fate series?
Udah banyak

Tapi ini holy grail war-nya bohongan.
Hmm, oke coba baca sinopsis dulu.

Yang buat pengarangnya Durarara sama Baccano.
Buru-buru cekout di gramedia via sopi.

Yah, kira-kira begitu kenapa saya impulsif beli ini novel, tapi saya anggurin hampir setahun. Parah banget emang :( Tapi pas dibaca kok keterusan :D

Masih sama kaya setting asli Fate. Ada 7 master dan 7 servant dari kelas Archer, Berserker, Assassin, Rider, Saber, Lancer, Caster; saling perang buat jadi pemenang atas holy grail yang dipercaya bisa mengabulkan keinginan apa pun. Tapiiii, perbedaannya di sini perangnya KW alias tiruan, ada campur tangan pihak misterius lain selain gereja, ada salah satu servant yang disinyalir palsu juga, nah ribet dah soalnya baru baca prolog wkwkwkwk.

Novel pertama ini isinya memang hanya prolog. Plus, kalo biasa nonton atau baca atau familiar aja sama karya Ryohgo Narita pasti paham beliau ini spesialis bikin cerita acak kadut tapi nanti jadi satu cerita utuh yang nyambung. Nah di Fate/strange fake juga treatment-nya mirip nih sama karya beliau yang sebelumnya. Isinya masih muqaddimah, pengenalan tokoh, setting, dan dibahas lagi garis besar cerita Fate ini kaya gimana biar pembaca yang awam bakal tetep bisa ikutin. Ilustrasi di LN ini mantap dah, ga kurang ga lebih. Karakternya kuat dan cakep nan misterius (Gilgamesh-sama (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄). Terjemahannya? Rapi dan enak banget buat dibaca. Thumbs up dah buat Penerbit Clover udah bawa ini novel ke Indo. Tinggal terusin ya semoga jangan mandeg dan kalau bisa kapan ada animenya huhu (๑◕︵◕๑).

Fate Strange Fake Volume 1 is incredible, It has the personalities of Gilgamesh the King of Heroe's, and Enkidu, the God's chain's personalities down to a science, I would not want to get between these two fighting, and the introduction to Fake Rider was pretty cool I cannot wait to read more
