Another great volume.
I hope the author isn't planning to use the trope that the big bad is actually an alternate version of the hero gone evil, even if it's hard to believe what could be a threat to Raid and Eluria other than themselves.

@anony-mouse99 for better or for worse we’re not quite there at the end of the journey yet! Only halfway, funnily enough.

I have to say though that it’s probably partly because of the impression the anime gave off too… I have heard that anime really affects interest in a series.

I was half tearing up when I first read the epilogue because I have a very strong fondness for a certain character :P

Just finished reading the volume. I'm liking this series, I hope it will keep going until we reach the conclusion.

Is there a 3rd volume? I was surprised to see translation for volume 3 of Hero and Sage has started.

@Hupmin there's been a few series that missed out. On the last announcement stream there was a comment about it being because of some internal hiccups but they do want to return to getting them in the future. Can't double check the exact wording because there's no stream history for me to rewatch.

Slightly reduces the perks of getting them direct from JNC, but most other publishers never translate those stories either unfortunately so I'm just happy we got some.

Also, "Kilphums" is a stupid name.

Yet its only the second stupidest name Shiro has ever come up with.

Dramom is a better name than Kilphums.
Kilphums seems more like something a grandma would call their grandkid.

I think I liked the afterward more than the book. I would definitely read his book about studying up to write his novels or starting up his own store. Be a bit like Wingfield.

@Alifanfaron A planned break was mentioned in the second post of the thread for the current book: https://forums.j-novel.club/post/371225.

Hope Volume 4 will be out soon! Great read!

@AliceCheshire I tried to look up online any info about a vol 4, but found nothing. That's another reason I thinking vol 3 is the end. (I hope I'm wrong 'cause I really liked this story line, especially Wibble - lol)

Wasn't expecting the twist that the actual villain is the sister and what we thought was the main plot was only the prologue. Keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get a continuation.

I can't wait for the next volume. Not spoiling what happens but when we got to the next arc in the otherwise unremarkable anime it made me want to read the series. Only to lament that it hadn't been licensed.

So Junjie Kan was all "I'm very surprised that I'm supposed to be going to the capitol with everyone, but I'm willing!" as he accidentally steals Lahan's Brother's spot. But hey, that's a mistake on whomever made the passenger manifest, because his real name is "Lahan's Brother" by his own admission!

no extras in the epub except a few color plates... speaking of which, while I appreciated the pictures of all the clients, but I wanted to see the spectacular storm dress of the opera singer. 8-)

@Gat Thank you for that very affirming compliment!

No matter my feelings on where things ended up going as far as the plot, I'm proud of the work Dawson and I did on this, and I do continue to have a soft spot for our somewhat neurotic princess. Despite the scheduling challenges finishing out the series presented for me, I'm glad to saw it through to the end. Working with Dawson has been a delight, and I truly will miss editing with him.

Thanks for sticking with us til the end!

Feel kind of disappointed to drop this about 2 parts into what is likely the final book in the series but I can't be bothered to read any more.

I couldn't quite understand why my interest in the series fell off a cliff in the last book but after returning to this series again I figured it out. We keep switching away from the PoV of characters I actually remember and care about (which is a tiny handful, there's way, way too many characters in this series), and instead we get the PoV of random people I don't remember at all and don't give the slightest shit about. Worst of all, half the time they're just faffing about rather than driving the plot in an interesting way.

I doubt I'm missing much. Olivia probably wins and I don't really care that much how she does it, the end.

I managed to get way behind on reading this, and now that volume 3 is starting, I figured it was a good time to get caught up. And I just had to drop in here and echo what others said about how much I loved the side story with Ariel at the end. Like others, I never would have expected it in a million years while reading volume 1, but in reality, people CAN change, and her change was made in a way that made it believable. Once she realized what she had done, she found she had a good role model for how to behave instead. And it was glorious.

And I wholeheartedly agree that I'm going to be disappointed if we don't get to see more of her in volume 3. :-)

@myskaros

Possibly mistake very early in vol. 1-
"After watching what ensued, however, the child would become convinced of this theory."

This sentence is a little weird- the however makes it seem like there will be a contradictory idea but it's not. I think the however could be removed so it flowed a bit better.
