I wonder if the author will pull another MC skill our of her ass and make Lilliana heal all those knights left behind or something.

That wouldn't be out of her ass at all. She's already used holy magic. Which is explicitly used to heal and purify. It would actually be an asspull if she couldn't heal. Like if she could use the magic but not to heal.

I knew it, as soon as she asked Rhuys what she'd do if she encountered a dying monster.

(Well, that flash into the dev viewpoint was pure delight)

Yes, yes it was.
Short, to the point, and marvelous.

My impression was that Allen's just avoiding Fey and Jewel in particular, rather than his whole class. At least during the camping arc, he acted jealous of Vesta for having a non-crazy fiance.

@Devon We have wait an entire week to find out who died? Any speculations who? My safe bet is Granny. She hasn't been looking so good lately.

It feels like it's a safe bet but it also said it was unexpected, you know?

@zeji13 To be more precise, my guess is they had school lessons on programming, not college or university modules on programming.

The trend seems to be that the more advanced the topic, the less accurate/detailed its coverage - e.g. the programming basics lesson in the middle of the book was decent (even if I still think it was pitched too basic for someone actively jobhunting in the field), but the smart frames were almost pure jargon and the All-RaWi system is kept very vague.

In all, it makes me think the author has had education only to around the level they themselves can fully describe - that is, the basics you'd teach a schoolkid in their IT class.

And no, I don't get where the idea that programmers think/say "hello world" came from, either.

@Kurzaa I suppose those in the know are going to react to the sight of that just as they did at clueless morons challenging Aoi at duels: shaking their heads so forcefully that they threatened to fly off.

Oh boy a festival is coming up. Maybe Solis and Luna will get a new younger sibling soon.

And speaking of Luna her magic is absolute impairment. Man that whole family is packed with unique magic.

Hmm

Hmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmmmm

(All I've got watching the memories)

Well, that conversation was unexpected. I really do hope that Lady Lithia is just blowing smoke, because the nobles would be absolutely out of control chasing that newfound power.

No doubt an agonizing extended glimpse in his potential bad future made Lofus a much more pragmatic kind of villain that is often practically indistinguishable from an anti-hero (and a tsundere chick magnet with potential LI). But just as surely he became (or more likely, stayed) a total battle maniac that picks any excuse to have pointless fights with worthy opponents, including potential allies.

I am so bad at these games, my mind just goes in circles. I'm guessing that Kira is the fox and that the real fortune teller was the guy who got exiled.

I appreciate that Ganz picked up on Misha's trauma, as Ryne's tough love approach is not always going to be the correct tool for the job.

@holatuwol Actually, it was not. Because I was worried that

That would have made me galaxy mad.

Sound like this will be a Liner PoV volume, could be fun

I didn't gather much from Aurelio's backstory

They basically swapped lives. He was thrown to the church as an orphan when Dina became Don to protect him from her because they thought she'd have him killed. So he grew up in the church, and then was retrieved when Dina was tossed in the drink because he was the spare. And then she went to the church for 10 years. I think. It was indeed a little hard to follow.

Looks like a pretty good relationship is brewing here. I kinda wonder what Ellie and Light are going to do though. Should be epic.

Nice volume, and with the protagonist already having sex with three girls it's kinda hard to believe this is the same author of Zero believers.
After this big battle against a giant monster, I'm a bit worried that a school festival arc will feel a bit brand in comparison.

Alright. I propose we add another timer. In addition to “Isekai: time to slavery” I suggest we also track “Isekai: time to cross dress”

When you fast-forward through the sex and through the fights, the book really zips along. It’s not one of the better titles here, but it goes quickly.
