I keep losing track of the Vol. 2 thread so linking it here:
Finding My Way to (You) in This MMO World: Vol. 2 Discussion

If you want a quick shortcut to the latest volume's discussion thread in the future, you can usually find one in the corrections topic for a given series, which is always linked to in the first post of a discussion thread.

@isekaitruckdriver loki being a menace is always funny lol.

So Noa is going to get a huge upgrade with a super powerful holy sword, I'm looking forward to it.
The next sister looks beautiful and sexy, I have great expectations for her.

What's gonna happen in V13!? This series has no shortage of massive turning points as it is.

@elkensteyin said in Hell Mode: Vol. 11 Discussion!:

So then... I haven't looked on Bookwalker yet, but is Volume 12 planned?

v12 came out in Japan in October of last year, and v13 came out in January. As per the future volume release topic, licensing can vary wildly in how long it takes once we've caught up to the Japanese release, but a community rule of thumb we commonly employ is to expect a recently released volume to begin prepublication around six months after its release in Japan at the earliest. So for Hell Mode v12, that might be around April/May, we won't really know for sure until it appears on the calendar. J-Novel doesn't drop series outside of extraordinary circumstances though, so you can only trust that they're working their hardest to get the next volume shepherded through the wilderness of the licensing process without sacrificing on quality.

A fun volume to read, although I have some mixed feelings regarding the addition of so many human characters.
I hope Arara and Reina won't make us wait too long before the inevitable.

The inevitable has already happened they're just not admitting it. I mean, they even have a kid together now.

I get the feeling that Nell wants a baby. I expect she'll be retiring pretty soon.

Idgaf, lowkey been enjoying this novel from the start (came from the manga). And man, as much i liked hoshimiya's character development, nothing beats miori's significance as a character. She was there since day one, helped Natsuki with all of his problems, and their dynamic has always been the best from the beginning. Kinda bummed that she gets sidelined in the regressed universe. But i'm ecstatic to see that in the original timeline, he still gets a happy ending, with best girl... Although in the original timeline, its unfortunate that the major problems that the characters had to deal with alone couldn't fix it, without Natsuki's help (eg. Reita's gang involvement.). But I'd say it's very realistic, and there's a bit of authorial charm to it.

I enjoyed this volume quite a bit. Tia was a welcome addition to the mix

Volume 1 Part 3:
(note: i'm posting this very late)

i'm sorry, what? lul
this is quite funny considering what it is. maybe the first best rape joke i've ever seen. quite refreshing actually.
second is s-CRY-ed ("Ms. Mimori!~").

(the low-key rape scene continues)
...bruh. Bruh. Bruh~
as a writer of problematic smut, i approve 👍🏿

lul holy shit trans 🤭

don't y'all make me do this shit
i don't care if volume 1 ain't releasin' 'til early February
do you not see da potential?

you lyin' motherfucker

shit, it'd be hard to write Catherine's feelings actually since i'm straightup AMAB 🤔

gurl, you got problems 😂

Well, at least there was a happy ending.

N9ce volume, although it's a bit sad that all his achievements will go to the dumb cousin.

@karasutengu totally agree. Finally the mystery of the god of the mountain is also clarified a bit. So the wind that Sano-kun feels is actually the Kamisama "replying" and looking out for him and the Dino-chicks.
It was heartwarming how they all - spirit and human - looking out for each other.

I thought it was super interesting how Sora kept pointing out that everyone was ignoring the first's teachings by bringing the monster for a trial, forcing them to accept either a lack of capability or a betrayal of their purpose. Equally interesting that everyone else deflected it as insolence, either unwilling to accept the contradiction or pushing it out of mind. Gozu seemed to start thinking about it, but I wouldn't expect anything from him.

@AliceCheshire said in Revenge of the Soul Eater Vol 4 Discussion:

I don't think Sora would go for that because he seems to view Ema (I think that was her name, at least?) as something of a mother figure.

I don't think he sees her as a mother figure, per se. It's more that he now understands that he treated her unfairly after his mother died, and he is grateful that she was the only one who stood up for him when his father decided to exile him. Despite the trope of the wicked step-mother, the fact she did that when others (most notably Gozu and Cecil) stood by and didn't even try to argue on his behalf, and that she did so even after receiving nothing but his resentment and hate, speaks volumes to her character.

I do wonder what Sora would have done if she hadn't been part of the group being attacked. He indicated that he wouldn't have stepped in to save Cecil, and that he saved the kid is more down to circumstance. If she had been absent, would he still have stepped in to save the kid?

the hammer chapter:
hold up, one of Room 10's androgynous? 👀
he low-key a femboy? 👀
we gettin' a better look at 'em or what? come on now, quit teasin'.
iirc, it was Amon

ch16?:

“Let’s just say she taught me a lot in the northern library and we’ll leave it at that.”

bruh

“Yes. I literally just said that.

bruh

Abel, you have got to listen properly to others when they talk, all right? It only reflects poorly on you when you don’t.”

reminder: Ryo's 40

this mofo just bought a house without a full inspection 😐

short story:
wait, why did so much happen 20 years Before Ryo Mihara? the Great Tidal Bore, Oscar, Rusay's mines wittling up... 🤔

Lord Kreis got a harem-esque thing goin' on 🤭

“It’s so pretty...” Amon whispered before he could stop himself.

femboy confirmed 🙌🏿

Catching up but ummm.

Did he fuck a sheep?

The emperor is an interesting character, I'm looking forward to learn more about him. Seems also like the most dangerous enemy for Seika if they end ul in opposite sides.
Normally I'd say the princess knight is set to be another harem member, but if the plan is to keep the first prince in check she has to stay at his side.
Wasn't expecting Haruyoshi pulling a Lord if the rings and tossing a ring into a volcano. I kinda wished that later in the story he came back to Japan to take revenge on the people who killed him, but looks like his friend took care of things in his stead.

We got a fair amount of time in on Yuto's farm, but I wish we'd gotten a pic of the new layout. Some more time with him and his monsters would have been nice, too, in the Epilogue, considering there's no hard date for the next release. sigh
All in all, tho, strong volume!

ALL-STAR SILVER!

I agree, Katarina is getting a filly for her birthday. Maybe one with a devoted brother?

It certainly did feel like an ending, but I'm happy we are getting more.
So it's now the Church's turn to get thrashed by Caim, and the harem will grow.
