Luciel travels from Yenice to the underground city of Rockford, the Kingdom of Dwarves. But monsters are everywhere, and the people are hard-pressed to defend themselves. After his last betrayals, Luciel isn't so quick to trust, but he still doesn't expect the real story . . .

This novel once again tackles prejudice, although in a somewhat better fashion than the whole Yenice arc. The dwarves have no great love of any non-dwarf, nor for those dwarves in Luciel's company, who were kicked out of their country when they were enslaved. So this is an awkward reunion of sorts for Dhoran and Pola, who have both old friends and those who wish they'd stayed out.

There's also the fact that Luciel's work to reconcile the beastpeople with healers has not gone unnoticed, or unchallenged. But aside from that discovery, Luciel can't really do much about that since his goals are elsewhere at the moment.

This volume does feel like it's getting more on track, with the plot for this city taking only one volume. Between the monsters, the dungeon, and a few things too spoilery to mention, it doesn't feel like it bogs down. Luciel finally gets a better reason for freeing the dragons, too (which might help prod him towards a questline he was totally going to ignore, otherwise). The dragon fight is a little quick, but then again it's not like any of them have taken very long.

Overall, I'm hoping this volume means the series has found its footing again. Luciel has direction, a mission, and several plot threads outstanding, so I'm hoping future volumes can keep this momentum. I rate this book Recommended.

Luciel and his retinue help out King Rockwell and the Dwarves from the invasion of the ants. There is conspiracy and treachery with the Dwarves as well. A fortuitous enconunter with the Great Sage ReinStar gives Luciel information about reincarnation and this alternate reality world (Galdardia).
It seems that Luciel and his retinue are finally returning to the Holy City and Merratori.
This Volume 6 is filled with good and bad slaves and Luciels attitude to free them all seems to waver a lot. The bad slaves stay as slaves and the "good" ones are freed. His trip to Rockford has melancholy for Dhoran and Pola and action for Luciel and all of his retinue.
This Volume 6, has 200+ pages, illustrations, information, blank pages and cover pages, with 16 chapters and two side stories. It was released in early 2022, and Volume 7 in April of 2022.
I hope the action and adventure pick up in this light novel (web novel) series. Volume 7 seems to have twice the number of chapters than the previous volumes. So hopefully it will be more entertaining to read.

Done with Yenice, Luciel sets of for Rockford and the Kingdom of Dwarves, mostly to free and drop of his dwarf slaves at their former homes and to acquire some gear for his new companions. Things are not going very well at his destination though as the earth rumbles and shakes. What follows is less slice-of-life (politics) and much more action and plot orientated like in volume 2 and 4 even if the climatic battle is less impressive. Combine it with a bit less inner whining by Luciel and him actually again freeing (non-criminal) slaves instead of giving them impossible choices, and it makes for a much better read for me. It is still rather dark story though, and I am not sure about the subtler mind control aspects that seems to be going on, but that is mostly a personal dislike. In short, a decent read and improvement of earlier volumes.

Time to move on.

After the disappointing previous volume, this time, the author delivers another boring story. The main character battles a dragon, and literally, the fight is over just after a paragraph. What follows is just a messy narration of the character battling ants and their queen in a linear way, a couple of twist and a lot of political intrigue that is just poorly delivered. A new character is introduced, but nothing is added through the book. Instead of developing the characters and their relations, the same lines about politics and slaves are repeated over and over. This series has always had a lot of potential; unfortunately, in the end, it didn't deliver a good story.

Good mix of action and slice of life

This book went by in the blink of an eye. It was a simple story but enjoyable none the less. Our MC continues to grow as a person and I'm starting to feel bad about the task literally forced onto him, but at this point he wants to help people and it's this more than anything that is setting him on his path.

Another excellent volume. I'm really eager to see how Luciel gets. He continues to say he just wants a peaceful life and not die, but he's doing way more than necessary to give himself that life he claims to be seeking out.

De calabozos, a ciudades construidas en lo que debió ser un calabozo. La trama sigue complicándose y se añaden nuevas variantes y personajes.

Ya ni me esfuerzo en aprender tantos nombres. Aparecen en un tomo y desaparecen al siguiente.

what a great volume

I’m beginning to believe this novel was well written. I can’t seem to stop reading and not getting tired of anything. I like the pace and the unnecessary details. They extra chapters add more depth to this overall story.
