This volume felt surprisingly intense, even though nothing truly large-scale happened. Unlike Makoto’s visit to the Demon Realm or Gritonia, there were no major boss fights or grand events. Even the comedy mostly stepped aside after the opening chapters.
Despite that, the writing felt much sharper once Makoto reached Limia, giving the story a steady tension that made the volume hard to put down. Both major and minor character relationships were handled with real weight, making their strengths and fractures feel meaningful.
What drew me in most by the end, however, was ironically not the plot itself, but Makoto as a character. At first glance, he seems like another kind-hearted isekai fantasy lead. But this volume further reveals how deconstructed he truly is, especially through how other characters observe and judge him—only for it to become clear that they are completely right.
It was a bit cliffhanger for some reason but overall very good! Bought it right away as soon as it came out and read it. Finish the whole book in a day. Thats how good it is 🫣
