At this point I’m just trying to finish this series

Rudeus acknowledging Aisha as a legitimate threat if she were to turn on him is interesting

Sylphie Roxy and even Eris are all just side characters in this book

And I never found the dodoria village that engaging so coming back to it wasn’t as interesting to me

Perugius taking no action and only remarking about Lara being a potential threat showed the author doesn’t know what to do with him at least for this book
A taxi service indeed

Volume 18 is a bit of an intermezzo in the overall story of Rudeus. It shows their daily lives even if somewhat offset by the sudden arrival of a new "pet" in their household. It is mostly slice-of-life with light hearted comedic relieve which I personally liked, but it might not be for everybody since it lacks focus and some of it was a bit grinchy. I do think it would have been better if there had been a bit more focus on Rudeus' family members as opposed to Julie even if that is likely a bit of a setup for the next arc. All in all, an enjoyable read.

Volumen 18
Pasan cosas entre la familia y amigos, avanzan historias y poco más, nada nuevo, "relleno" y ya esta, entretenido.

I don't know if this series is becoming boring or it's just me burning out on light novels and need a change.

[Carol · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another filler book. We get to see Rudeus day-to-day after the events in the Asuran kingdom, we see how the family is doing and adjusting to all the changes. A couple characters are back (not my favourite part but I figured we would not get rid of them soon) and nothing really happens.
There is however a very cute and heartbreaking story towards the end about Julie. We learn more about her past and how she sees her life and I almost cried for her. The next volume seems far more interesting so we’ll see where the story goes.

dunno why people rail on this volume that much. It's nice content, learning more about Julie and the happenings of the Great Forest. I love Pursena too, so the addition to the family was pleasant to read. Sure, there was no high octane action, but sometimes you gotta cut back on it. Besides, the way Rifujin na Magonote wrote this volume was funny. First a diary entry, then like RPG prompts. good humor all around. looking forward to the next.

Bueno, de vuelta a las lecturas ligeras de verano. Quizas este año pueda terminar toda la serie (me faltan 8 volumenes).

Nunca soy muy exigente con este tipo de novelas, pero el volumen 18 me ha parecido especialmente malo. Nada de lo que sucede tiene demasaiada incidencia y parece ser un mero puente entre arcos.

Tiene cositas que me han gustado, pero son las menos. Además, justo saliendo del arco de Ariel que me satisfizo enormemente, se dobla la decepción.

Presenta lo peor pero aun con esas mi interés por la serie no se ha desvanecido.

A necessary break after the insanity of the past 4 volumes, I love (almost) everything about this book, with the exception being how a certain duo of furry friends are written after an amazing exit previously. While not as episodic and "calm before the storm" as volume 13 is, it definitely allows any fan some reprieve before starting the final quarter of Mushoku Tensei, and allows all the insane developments some time to sit and breathe, which is necessary to achieve the emotional impact many moments going forward will have.

Lagi lagi karakter development Aisya yg jempolan, rudeus jalanin arahan orstred udah kaya bisnis. Di perjalanan, transaksi 1 arah ini berkembang lebih gede dan disamarkan jadi bisnis "body guard" sama Aisya, linia, n pursena. Sementara bisnis keliatan lancar, rudeus jalanin underground mission, nemenin zanoba pulang utk mencegah dia mati dan berharap plot future bisa ke "alter". Look forward to next vol

[Basililouis · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked it, It was another slice of life book inbetween 2 arcs. I wouldnt say I was the biggest fan of Linia and Pursena coming back into the story the way they did because I thought there send off was really good and showed alot of character growth and there reintroduction kind of shit on that. Still it wasnt to big of a deal, I liked rudeus flexing on the slaver because I didnt realize he had motion like that. Overall a pretty nice casual read 7/10

[Adrian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sigue en la linea de Rifujin donde un volumen es de actos importantes para el desarrollo de la historia y el siguiente es mas para vida cotidiana de los personajes con un poco de desarrollo dentro del mundo, en este caso es el segundo. En este caso se centra mas en desarrollar emocionalmente los vinculos entre ciertos personajes, dejando ver mas en detalle el como piensan y sus ansiedades.

4/5

3.5
mi parte favorita fueron los capitulos de Julie, claramente se ve el aprecio que le tiene a Zanoba y me encantó. El tomo no fue malo, simplemente sencillo, aunque me cayó bien gorda Linia la verdad jajaja

3 to 3.5

[Andy Febrico Bintoro · Rating 4 out of 5]

Currently this is the latest officially translated volume. Well, I wish I could read this until the end without the interruption for the web novel already completed Long ago 🤣

[Cody Enos · Rating 4 out of 5]

There’s the slice of life I love from this series.

[Kron Wolf · Rating 4 out of 5]

Se sintió como recuentos de la vida, siempre es agradable una pausa, aunque se sintieron como cuentos dispersos del mundo que rodea a Rudeus o del propio Rudeus

[Justin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Would you pay 2 million dollars to save a friend?

[Love · Rating 5 out of 5]

I guess you could call this more of a filler volume. There is no major drama and no big battles. Yet I enjoy the world and characters of Mushoku Tensei so much that I don’t mind at all.

[Nick Rizzo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a whole lot happened this book. Mostly setup for what’s to come and a bunch of funny events/stories

[Tanesa Harper · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book

Ready to finish this series, let's go! Rudeus is the man with the plan. On to the next battle. Yes

Decent transitional volume. At least my goats are back

[Lux · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was a little on the ‘meh’ side, especially when compared to the previous novels. Hopefully this is simply an exception to an otherwise wonderful series

[Noah Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

WN - 3.25 on first read. This volume/arc felt too filler-like for me, but overall still the usual Mushoku Tensei fun. We got to see Pursena and Linia/Rinia again and they were both pretty fun. Also, a really intriguing cliffhanger ending, im looking forward to the upcoming arc, which will seem to focus on Zanoba (love that dude).

[Luke · Rating 2 out of 5]

These books are starting to make me cringe so hard. I'm afraid I might pull a muscle. ... Don't kink shame me!

[Karla Schneider · Rating 3 out of 5]

So Orsted comes along and solves everything, what was the point of this book then?

[Alex Buchkovsky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really great!
