Volume 1 (Premium Edition): Veteran Hero and Novice Middle-Aged Adventurer

Volume 24 (Premium Edition): A Bonus Short Story The War God's Anguish

Still curious about Mia's real identity...

@Geezer-Weasalopes I don't think that's the kind of contract anybody would be offering to the Misakis of that world, though.

And yeah, I know feudalism can get very complicated compared to how people usually imagine it was. But when people start waving around the kind of you're hired/you're fired employment contracts common in the modern world, feudalism just isn't where my mind goes. (:

@SalmonJones What it comes down to, I think, is that the harem comedy is a type of romantic comedy for writers who are far more confident in their comedy than their romance. So they just sprinkle some ship tease on top of the comedy, rather than actually trying to include it in the plot.

Hello,

Thank you for the information. I have moved it over to the V7 discussion only because I felt it was more appropriate there.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the situation from your point of view.

On one hand, yay for people healing and overcoming trauma together. On the other, it's been a bit too classic romance for my tastes, including betting a woman on an outcome of a duel without her agreement, having jealousy as a thing that leads to realization of love, and the girl having to be saved from distress by the boy's violence.

@Lex said in Haibara's Teenage New Game+ Vol. 4 Discussion!:

@Pieta the previous volumes definitely had some more harem vibes, with two girls actively going for Haibara and a third hinted to be interested in him too. It wouldn't be the first series I read that felt as an harem in the beginning but then turned out to be a simple romance (putting aside the fact that we'll probably get another love triangle between Haibara, Hoshimiya and Miori).

True, but it was never a simple harem - it was always harem with consequences, and that makes for a very different reading, to me at least.

Volume 3 (Premium Edition): A Bonus short story Taboo Peach Wine

I don't know how much material there is still to adapt from the WN, but the way the misunderstandings regarding the confessions were solved makes me feel like someone told the author there might not be another volume.

@Korppi Yep that's the one I was talking about. Don't know about that one with 2 volumes.

Sheesh guess the poor guy has multiple stories he couldn't finish :(

Also, I feel like the opening of the volume's had a huge plot hole - it makes no sense for Shohi's units to fight their way to the river since that would only get them cornered with nowhere to go. It was a perfect position for the arriving ships to turn the situation around, but prior to that it was a horrible strategy for Shohi to take.

there is something wrong with the names in this volume sometimes it is written as lina and sometimes lna so I hope they will fix these soon.except that this was a decent first book.

@BartzBB Thank you.

@db0ssman - I think his creations aren't part of this world's normal flora, so if he shows up with never seen before HP and mana items that don't exist anywhere it's going to raise a lot of questions.

Part 4: Ah, yes...thermite - when you absolutely need an instantaneous chemical reaction to melt face...or an airship (yes, I know Mythbusters busted that one but it could happen...just not as the paint on the ship).

And yeah, of course it's horrifying. It's a bloody fusion reaction! You also extended the one thing you shouldn't have, you unstudied amateur magical chemist, you.

Next time, deal with liquid nitrogen. At least you only have to worry about your lungs freezing with the blowback. Along with the rest of your body of course but, we don't have time for logical implications!

I actually love Emille. She is the funniest character in this book imo. Her common sense is really something else. 😂😂

@Windsagio It's with the Professor. The Professor is the former leader of the Court Sorceress while Gardner is the new one.
(Partly the reason why Allen "failed" the exam)
The Professor and Gardner hate each other as far we know, the Headmaster as far we know doesn't have much interaction with Gardner.

Volume 4 (Premium Edition): 2 Bonus Short Stories With Sweet and Sour Jam The Things We Dislike

@Paul-Nebeling I believe we've already seen the cost. Rehzel was forcibly converted to Extra Mode, and it transformed him into a demonic deity. Beforehand, he was actually willing to pursue reconciliation with the elves, but afterwards he was singularly focused on claiming the world tree. His true goal was really just to have the right to die under its branches, but his transformation shut out his ability to consider any alternate methods of accomplishing that, or any of his other desires. It's like how when Krena was carried away by limit break and was hyperfocused on her goal of fighting a powerful opponent, without being able to think about whether or not she should.

Allen is in hell mode whilst remaining... passably sane, and the demons have talked about stepping through your extra gate, so I think there's a way to safely enter extra mode. The issue is that you can only do it yourself; having it activated for you results in your will being consumed by your own skills, which is why the Gods can't help. In a way, even though it was facilitated by the Gods, Allen entered hell mode under his own will and resolve, which is why he's able to control it. I believe Krena for example could enter Extra mode by learning to view limit break as just a normal part of her, and shattering the restrictions normal mode places on it through sheer force of will. In extra mode, limit break would probably just be a lv 7 skill that can be toggled on or off at will, just like how if Allen was in normal mode, his extra skill would probably be one of Quick Summoning (with limited duration), Deputize (one use per day), or maybe King Me.

One thing I find potentially interesting; the extra skills seem to be randomly chosen from a pool of potential lv 7/8 class skills, as not everyone with the same talent has the same extra skill, but they're always relevant to your class. However, Drops of God is likely a cleric/saint class skill and monk wouldn't get it; if he chose the monk promotion, would have have gotten a different extra skill? Similarly, Sophie's grand spirit summoning is clearly within the "spirit user" class line, and she was not actually originally a spirit user - the direct promotion of spirit wizardess is likely spirit arch-wizardess, but she chose an alternate branch. This would mean grand spirit summoning was a potential extra skill of a class she could potentially promote into, but if she had gone into extra mode as a spirit mage, she never would have gotten it.
