Really liking Milly growth. And looking forward to what else she encounter. Also looking forward to see Kyle grow more as well. And the whole shit with Ike is going to be quite hard to fix.

A pass and review kissing expose amd then a battle royal. What a way to have a wedding.

im also wondering if the whole bloodline mechanic was actually just "lazy coding". since a lot of game systems made it into the world, i wouldn't be surprised if an underpaid coder simplified things by going "oh, i'll just have the family sorted under the dads name as an easy way to track groups, without having to invent complex relationships for the thousands of background npcs".

when the world and the system became real entities (that is if the world didn't already exist, in which case they just merged), things started getting weird in the way it expresses itself.

Woo, another Mia side story to make up for Robin infesting the main story. I really like Mia's development as a character. She's showing a lot of self awareness now and seems to be developing into an actually decent person. I don't think she should be so worried about it being selfish to be interested in Davier, though. She's probably the only one around that he'd be interested in due to their shared history and it seems like he might be developing an attraction to her anyways.

Black-rank adventurer from the Empire - with a dubious history - sneaking around the (disputed) Aflatta Mountains inside Liberia? No wonder Allucia is quiet - premonition? Or looking like a prelude to war ...

I normally avoid the synopsis but this one..

It puts quite the smile on my face.

I’m not sure I would have picked this up had I known what it was actually about from the beginning (not the sort of thing I usually go for), but I can’t say I’m disappointed I did. I didn’t love the idol character, and I was disappointed that Haruhi kind of disappeared in the epilogue, but overall an interesting writing style, mix of characters, and themes. I think I’ve tried all the contest entries that got published (and have kept up with all but one), and this one feels the most…literary? Like it could fit in in a literature class including contemporary novels, while still also being a light novel that incorporates aspects of visual novels. Well done, especially if this is your first work.

Also, assuming the afterword is indicative of your own experience, my condolences. I lost a brother too (my oldest). He suffered from depression and anxiety from a really young age and ultimately overdosed. My parents did everything they could for him the best they knew how but ultimately couldn’t prevent it. It doesn’t do any good to blame yourself, but that can be easier said than done. Good for you for writing this book as part of your healing process.

I'm happy that Yuki is going to have at least one son, you don't see that too often in LNs.

Trying to get out of one's obligations tends to be the kind of thing that gods take personally.

I'm still on the fence on this one after finishing volume 1.

To me it has a bit too much of the inner monologue, shades of Unwanted Undead Adventurer, but perhaps the author cut back on that over time.

The "avoiding canon fate" plot echoes I'm NOT The Hero and the first volume of From Villainess to Healer, and I've been entertained by how he's worked to avoid fate.

The main character is a bit like Demon Lord Retry's MC, but Akira has more confidence, style, competence and fun for me.

The comedy here boils down to "he's a stripper pervert who somehow cons everyone for me" and "why are they all worshipping me!?" which is more repetitive than the humor in Demon Lord Retry.

So, a mixed bag for me.

This felt a bit like reading Misfit of the demon king academy or Instant death cheat. Your power to make improbable things happen is useless if there was never any chance for you to win to begin with.
Not a huge fan of Amane being set up for redemption, but I guess it was the best chance to show that now Ikki is able yo say Ryoma's words to others.

Childhood friend is Tsundere & yandere; the most dangerous combination

I went back reading this since I was curious about the progress in romance and well, that part was fine, but I don't remember the last time I read a dungeon dive as boring as this.

Oh boy this final fight is going to be so good.

@LightningLeaf It might be because Selene started to undo the curse before being interrupted, so it was only partially removed and he’s still made of stone.

...yeah, Andrew definitely considers Dierdre a friend, not a crush.

I waited for the volume to finish and now caught up.

I don't like the third prince. Why is he so nosy? "I could lend you my support" my ass. You mean you hide behind and leech off Lera who has awesome magic while you only have a micropenis and a royal status that amounts to nothing because there are two other princes. Computer says no, now get lost.

If the attacks keep coming, you should retaliate in a way that takes away their attacking capabilities. Turn up that hypno beam... Or just send them into a wheelchair.

I can't say I'm a big fan of animal cruelty, so I think this is more than enough reason for the mass execution of the entire bloodline of marquess Bil-something. In fact, include his entire faction. One Bloody Carnival, please.

I'm glad that the idiot brother apparently got disowned.

I kinda wish Sheila had more chapters because it's always her POV (or someone's who's talking with her) when the political machinations are revealed and the actual plot moves forward.

I'm not entirely sure behind the motives but I assume that Lera taking over her house will accelerate a lot of things.

This is gonna be one weird anime.

Benkei's life summed up.

@GamerGirlRina said in Flung into a New World? Time to Lift the 200-Year Curse! Vol. 1 Discussion!:

Do we know if the v4 novel is getting a translation? Or are ya'll gonna stop the story at v3? Cause I'm pretty sure the novel had 11 volumes in the Japanese print.

You may want to give https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/3478/future-volume-release-schedule a read. It's not uncommon for there to be several weeks before a new volume begins translation, that's just the chaos that is the licensing process. But J-Novel has never stopped translating a series once they have started outside of truly extraordinary circumstances. Even series that are not profitable continue to be translated. Just give it some time.

Nice to see that the relationships progressed much faster that I expected, now the harem is official, and Eugene won't be able to refuse doing lewd thi gs with his new girlfriends since he regularly has sex with Eri.
The dungeon exploration too is progressing quickly, although it might become slower now that the difficulty level is ramping. Wasn't expecting Eugene to be able to defeat Eri, albeit in a nerfed form.
Next volume is going to be interesting.
