@karasutengu She already knows, iirc when he cornered her in this volume with his proposal he let slip something about how the margrave died and Karen realized that he must've been there.

I think I remember her asking him if he killed the margrave, and he was truthful, he didn’t.

I’ll have to remember to not eat before reading a part of this story. It wasn’t as bad as some of the parts, but “Ick…”.

Honestly, it might just be better to not eat before reading this series. Several scenes are not good for the stomach.

I was expecting the dragon emperor to start worshipping Zil too but he ended up being just a source of new citizens. For now, at least.

The wedding made this volume more bearable than others, but Tenma and Primera are one of the couples with the least romance I've read here at JNC.

@emma1411 I haven’t read the volume yet, but your comment makes me even more excited to read it.

Finished v1, it was a really exciting final sequence!

Hmm, this is getting to Duchess in the Attic tier of why am I still reading this. Time to bow out.

@Paul-Nebeling I read a while ago an old post on reddit w here it was said that author admitted he never had an answer to the mysteries that appeared in the ser8es, like why the characters ended in Grimgar, he just made a setting that he thought was interesting. And I think there also isn't a planned ending, he just keeps writing and when he gets bored he resets the story.
The Parano arc was really annoying and nearly made me drop the series. It's hard to feel invested in the characters if I know they'll just die or become completely different beings and it's hard to appreciate the world building if we never get answers.

FYI, Volume 9 releases on May 10, 2026 according to Bookwalker. So there's a lot more of Leah to come -- hopefully.

@avnwilson I should've check the calendar XD

Last I heard, the artist is really sick. The author is waiting for the artist to recover before resuming the series.

...Miss Save a Hoe 😑

That Asura had grown up to be a piece of shit must have been because of Pietro’s actions.

lol
forgot a realization from before: she two people in one body. dun dun duhn~

“Can it be sexual?” Reko asked.

wut

“Secondly, you’re on the side of righteousness, and you’re a kind girl. I’m quite fond of you.

🎵 'cause you changed me, baby~

But that doesn’t mean I have to listen to you.”

🎵 but i didn't make it easy for you, baby~

Every day, [redacted] listened to [redacted] whispering words of love into her ears while inflicting unreasonable amounts of violence upon her body.

(^neutral)

Asura, casually gettin' people murdered over insecurity 😑

“Uh, right...” Asura muttered. “I wonder where I went wrong in raising you. I don’t want you to turn out evil, but I didn’t want you to turn good...

groomer confirmed

what if Asura just got possessed? 😐

“No one wants to have a bloodbath at a wedding.”

omg i love how ghastly Iina looks 🤭
oh shit, Punti a femboy? 👀
and da king cute? 👀

I was expecting the pope to be the next harem member, but we got a dark elf instead. Maybe she'll just have to wait a bit, or she'll become an antagonist if Sora sides with the undead.
The battle with the behemoth felt a bit anticlimactic, but at this point I guess there are very few beings who can be a match for Sora, especially outside of a certain island.
It feels the tone of the series is changing. Revenge is little more than a afterthought, and Sora seems more tsundere than ruthless. I'd rather have this than the series turning too dark and tragic, though.

This is such a weird yet heartwarming series.

Author said in a previous afterwords that there isn't much romance in this series, and it's definitely not focused on that, but the ship between Gwinn and Melty was plenty.
For the second part, the action was good and Lutz is definitely stronger than I thought in battle. Donaldo was handled well as a character, with a good redemption arc, and I liked how Claudia was able to acknowledge his atonement while still not wanting to forge a connection with him.

I liked this story overall and looked forward to the weekly releases. I really liked the reveal while Tao was listening. However, I think it could be improved with a bit more attention to the characters. I thought Aurelio was inconsistent - I would have liked for him to be a complex character with a consistent story line to back up his actions. The shocking violent banquet was good but felt a bit out of place, as there wasn't a lead up to it in Luca's or Aurelio's point of view. The end felt rushed and incomplete, with a story line that was interesting but went too far beyond the main events at the estate. It could have been a good cliffhanger. I think there are some great things here that would benefit from a more detailed story and with some sections retold from another main character's point of view.

@gomily Thanks! Ahh good looks like the series is healthily releasing new volumes. So we should get a good chance at major story lines being introduced and concluded.

On Amazon I couldnt even find the light novel in the Author section, let alone the recommended associated titles.

v11 is coming out in Japan in June, by the way.

Yes Aoi, it is that weird that you want to pet their ears and tail. If they win, can they pet your chest?

Nice volume. It would be great if at the end Rouga could end together with his ex party member, maybe after they save her sister.
Speaking of sisters, curious to see the last one and how the story will proceed when all of them will be "defeated ".
