A LEISURELY WALK IN THE EMPTY WASTES... I’ve been killing slimes for 300 years, and now I’m finally going to meet the reaper?! I can’t say I was thrilled at the idea… but it turns out she’s not too different from this world’s other gods. I also take a trip in the demon lands with Pecora (it’s supposed to be “exciting and full of adventure ★” apparently) and clear a video game created by a goddess (video games in another world, huh?). Plus, Halkara accepts a challenge from a “phantom thief.” And stay tuned until the end to see Laika take her battles at the Red-Dragon Academy for Girls to the next level!
If you have read this far into the series then this was a top notch volume; maybe closer to a 3.5 by regular novel standards. There were many moments that had me stop and laugh or just savor the ridiculousness of it all.
I do have to note some of my Bias and that is towards Nintan as I always love her suffering of fools, and it's to the point Azusa is feeling some deep sympathies towards her. The big ups was actually a non-character in the form of a travel logger who just happened to appear in the same place as Azusa a couple of times
The only chapter I think I felt I suffered through was the Mechanical Kaiju Walk. I don't know if it was because I was so distracted by trying to figure out the parody, or if it was just that obnoxious; they did introduce the Nara deer so that was fun.
