Actual rating: 3.5 / 5

As per usual, I waited too long before reading the next chapter and spent a good portion of this confused. Oops 8’D

Definitely looks like the author is building up to another confrontation, having introduced new villains in the wake of the defeat of Claymore. It will be interesting to see how Hinata and co. relate to this, and what’s going to happen next with Rimuru and his goal of peace.

Chapter notes below for personal reference: (potentially spoiler heavy)

Chapter 88. Okay, so that’s one of the “otherworlders” that attacked Tempest… and the one whose body was taken over by the weird evil mage guy… who is now apparently an underling of Diablo?
–
Three paths for the country of Farmus… and all of them sound pretty fair given what the idiot king decided to try and do to Tempest :|
–
Rimuru controlling Veldora by taking away his dessert is just XDD

Chapter 89. So they’re going with abdication and reparations… smart plan.
–
Ohhhhh… planning to cause a civil war so you can have an ally on the throne? Also smart :|
–
I love that the trope of sneezing when someone is talking about you applies to literal living skeletons as well XD
–
Thoughts about Hinata being used and trying to work out who the “mastermind” could be…


Chapter 90. Long meeting with Hinata and her subordinates/coworkers(?)
–
Interesting that even though they know what Rimuru is trying to do with Farmus and causing a civil war that they can’t interfere with it whatsoever…
–
Learning the truth of Rimuru and his demon-lord status…
–
I love the relationship between Diablo and Veldora. Diablo is so serious, and Veldora is basically a toddler with too much power XD

Chapter 91. I love Rimuru, and how he refuses to discriminate against anyone regardless of species (or anything else) and how genuine they are in promoting equality among everyone who lives within Tempest… and that includes telling Geld to be as harsh on the prisoners of war as he would be on his own species when it comes to doing a good job and working hard 😐
–
Come on Diablo! You can do it! Kick their butt and ensure Youm becomes the king of Farmus!
–
So good at dealing with Veldora *snort*
–
Omg. Hinata and her cohort are eating ramen and gyoza XD For Hinata she knows exactly what it is, being an “outworlder” and from Japan in the first place, but it appears to be new to the others. Maybe they’re NOT outworlders?

Chapter 92. What is happening with this shady meeting? One of Hinata’s subordinates is betraying her to a… weapons merchant? What is happening?
–
Wanting to get rid of Hinata because she’s powerful and can’t be controlled? Checks out.
–
Lmao they’re so shocked that the road to Tempest is so well made and so peaceful. That’s Rimuru’s influence for you!
–
Those Luminaries are trying to take out Rimuru AND Hinata, aren’t they? Why though? Aren’t they on the same side as Hinata?
–
Well this just appears to be one big understanding between Rimuru and Hinata, as a result of those damn Luminaries 8’D

Les conséquences de la nuit de Walpurgis n'en finissent plus. Limule devenu Roi-Démon et le retour officiel de Veldra inquiètent l'Eglise d'Occident, grand ennemi de Limule et la Fédération de Tempest, qui décide d'entreprendre de grands moyens pour éradiquer la "menace".
Pendant ce temps, Limule voit le nombre de ses alliés augmenter de manière inattendue, grâce à l'intervention de Diablo, et surtout peut compter sur l'indéfectible soutien de ses amis et sujets.
De nouveaux personnages font leur apparition, montrant toute la complexité de la situation et que nous sommes encore loin de savoir qui tire réellement les ficèles dans ce monde.

[Diogo Malão · Rating 4 out of 5]

O autor como já demonstrou nos outros volumes não tem noção de escala ou de números. Usa um milhão de pessoas e descreve as situações como se fosse menos de mil. Da constantemente poderes op a todos os personagens como defesa imune a todos os danos físicos ou imunidade a todos os ataques mágicos, e depois vê-se obrigado a criar formas de criar tensão nas lutas que são autênticos ass pull. Leitura agradável, mas as situações de tensão são sempre estragadas porque "aquele ataque teria sempre funcionado mas naquele instante espeficio os personagens tiveram uma inspiração divina da lua alinhada com marte e por isso conseguiram sobreviver"

[Timothy Pitkin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lot of nice build up as we learn that Rimuru is going to have his rematch against Hinata and that we learn about the next major antagonist which is the Rosso Family. It was really cool seeing that will get the rematch so soon as Hinata is the first character to have defeated Rimuru granted that was before he became a true demon lord but it was a nice fight and seeing her opinion change is going to be interesting and the should be good even if Hinata is again being manipulated but at least this time it looks like Hinata has had a change of opinion on Monsters.

Tensions are high, and intrigue as politics in Falmuth collide and civil war is imminent. All according to Rimuru's plan, until Lord Reyhiem turns up dead, each side blaming the other, although a third party seems to be working from the shadows to undo everyone's plan! Working Hinata and Rimuru to set up another battle between them, when the plan was always to find a peaceful solution. I am very excited to see what happens next!

Time to wrap up the political struggle in Falmuth... which only causes another political struggle... but it was planned for all along so we're good... until we aren't because of scheming clergy and meddling 1-percenters.

Yeah, this volume is mostly talking and a mental chess game played across an entire continent. More magic and action please. (But the ramen bit was fantastic)

[Aaron Meyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

So many things going on and we have so many "secret" societies controlling all the actions of the world and it appears they are all on a collision course in the Jura Forest. Have to admit that is one of the things that makes this series fun. So now let's see how Rimuru gets his way going forward lol

[Sheepy · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's all getting heated!!!! Let's go!!!! Next volume please!!!!
