Volume 8 (Premium Edition): 6 Bonus Short Stories A Scene of a Parent and Child Lorraine and Cleaning A Thirty-Year Promise Help with Vengeance About an Encounter with a Young Boy About Life Objectives

@strangeattractor Theoretically we do know Elise at least outlives Mia in the last known version of the Princess Chronicles, since the Chronicles do mention Mia's death. I'm assuming the story itself is simply eliding the unchanged ending of the Chronicles for reasons of pacing, rather than going for "but aha, Mia never actually checked whether her fate is the same in this part".

The strange part is that this Princess Chronicles, with the ending of Mia being assassinated at the school festival, has been published at all. Taken on its own, it's a biography (or hagiography, but semantics) of a princess who attempted to push through some major reforms with surprising success, and then gets killed before her fourteenth birthday (if I remember the timeline correctly). That seems more like a book that should at least mention what happened afterwards, with Mia's successors following through in her memory, but according to the narrative the Princess Chronicles just kinds of ends at the assassination.

@galactuskahn24 said in Mapping Vol. 6 Discussion!:

@xdrfiredogx Rosalie. Seems to be genuinely interested in note and lived close by for like a year and still acts as if she's just doing it for funsies.

You assume that he's not aware. I assume he's fully aware and laughing it off because it means he doesn't have to face something that could affect their friendship and the party.

Shrug

@zehd mouth starts foaming. This is super torture, having to wait to read this novel.

@zeronos If you hate it, never look for real life politics and history. Is on the same level if not worse.

@kilocron Agreed, Vi's friends are vicious. A locust swarm does less damage than they did.

Haha, you really went and cut the part at that timing. 😂

We are well past the point of still being on topic at this point.

Unfortunately at this point in time there is no official date for when Volume 3 will start pre-publication on the site.

We ask for everyone’s patience during this time, until Volume 3 can start pre-publication.

Any further comments on future volumes release in this topic, will be removed.

Thank you

I figured that I would find Bookworm fans in here!

I am still finding the series very entertaining thou I do have some complaints about the time lapse, and repeating story elements (the orphanage) but overall I find the new plot is very interesting and looking I am forward to see how Little Silver will develop with such skilled young workers.

About the orphans rescue, however I feel it was too rushed up, and since the orphans seem to all be sharing the same skills set they lack individuality. Doing the rescue more slowly it could have helped to do some world building, and develop the orphans characters.

The only times I remember Himeko doing anything like that to her, Misaki actually enjoyed it, according to her internal monologue. But yeah, the Ayakas make me cringe.

@shipteaser The wedding volume was honestly kinda boring in my opinion.

It was not really about him but about other people.
It really only showed development of characters that will more or less be one liners in all future volumes while ignoring more interesting characters like his body guards OR HIS SLIMES!

I am hoping this volumes helps rectify that mistake.

That was a strange twist to end things on. Now we have to wait another week to see what's really going on.

Didn't he say that he lost his lover to "human malice" and that's why Archfiend had appeared? I'm really not sure which part of the "random demon came for revenge and possessed my friend" fits that description. This part was really straightforwardly underwhelming after all the grand foreshadowing.

Two parts without an existential crisis. The tension is killing me. I'm waiting for something to snap, but don't know what it will be.

@erikd Gaoshun probably doesn't have a friend with a pregnant twin, the whole story is in fact about the envoys, and the pregnancy aspect just a cover.

From what I gather, the envoys were being kept in a heavily guarded building. But they later discovered that one of the envoys has been going around spying (presumably). I don't know if they caught the envoy outside of the compound, have seen traces of spying, or are just wildly guessing at it. Either way they wanted to figure out how the envoys could both appear to be in the guarded building while one of them was not.

I'm unclear why they thought they had to make up the whole story, maybe it's about not spreading rumors that they have no control on the envoys.
