I think a large factor is how short the most recent volumes have been, that was mentioned earlier.

I waited until the release to read this volume, and saw 168 pages, so short, and was a bit sad. Then as I was getting all the fluff I was internally screaming "No! Not my already limited pages, they are all getting wasted!"

I'm not sure if we're now getting a higher ratio of fluff:progression. But feels that way to me due to the length of the volumes.

I wonder how good Momota and Kisaki's poker faces are- the next few minutes are going to be 'awkward' at best - if they manage to keep it together at all. Their next conversation (in private) and the one after that (with Hime) and the one after that (with everyone) are going to be doozies!

imagine this:
"Yes Dad, I've met Kasaki previously, actually before you did and I think I've seen her in various states of undress before you did too, yes she is quite attractive."

@pcj thank you for the prompt answer. :)

Volumes 1-2 (premium Edition): No Premium Bonus Content

@myskaros YES!!! THIS WAS THE ONE I WAS THINKING OF!!!

Thanks a lot, I had forgotten the title!!!

EDIT: And now, I've found out the fan translation has been stalled for months now halfway through vol 7... I'm sad now...

@travis-butler That would be quite amusing, indeed.

@ellyonia said in The Great Cleric Vol. 3 Discussion!:

Well it seems Lumina is almost as dense as our boy Luciel in terms of romance...

I did enjoy these side stories, they provide more characterization to our favorite cast as well as shed some additional light what happened in his 2 years at the capital/his time with Brod.

Coming in a bit late here after re-reading the final ePub release... but the Valkyrie side story was also in vol. 2, wasn't it?

@sillymel - good guesses, but no spoilers from me. There's only one way to find out :)

I was laughing out loud for real when Yu was asked by the teacher if he recalled being attacked over the Summer ("you'll have to be more specific....")

Even if it was this (the J-Novel Club forums) really does not seem like the place to ask…

@travis-butler said in The Extraordinary, the Ordinary, and SOAP! discussion:

So it's an examination of the ethics and potential harms of hero summoning - and 'humans can be monsters' is an important aspect there.

That's a good point, and I don't object to that part. I just don't think it was necessary to add in the more brutal peril from humans that the non-isekaied heroine ended up in though.

Kind of like I could've done without the abusive "romance" of a pair of side characters in the latest Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf. There's more than enough grimdark on American TV and in other LNs, it's nice to read something more sunny to escape from that.

@sillymel said in My Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World Volume 3:

So, at this point, I’m pretty sure Soul Reader tells Yuichi a person’s role in the currently active Worldview.

Yes, the author has some fun with that in the final volume. Keep reading.

No comment on the second point.

Also, once you've finished this Instant Death Cheat is by the same author and makes an indirect references to this series (Easter egg level not a plot point).

Volume 2 (Premium Edition): Textless Cover Illustration

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

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

@db0ssman Even then, in some places where it's not prevalent, first cousins relationship don't get the same ick reactions people give to closer blood relations like parent-child, siblings or uncle/aunt-niece/nephew, and second cousins even less so.

I skipped this volume when it was being released and I just finished it now. I must say, I don’t like the queen. The king being a prankster and the l duke being a sadist are parts of their character that I can live with, but the queen seems like the kind of person who feels like her actions are always justified. Of course, she’s wise, so she doesn’t do things out of meanness but putting your future daughter-in-law through ordeal to test your son gives Julianne the short end of the stick. Her apology means little since Julianne has no choice but to accept it (I mean, what else could she do in the situation?) Julianne being who she is, she wasn’t hurt, but it was still a mean thing to do. Just because you’re “justified” doesn’t give you a free pass. I hope she makes it up to Julianne in the future and not just try to brush it off.
