Argh. Too bad I can't read Japanese... Book 8 came out in Japan back in October, and it hasn't started here yet.

They're probably waiting for me to spend the last of my credits, then post the start 3 days later, like last time.

I'm Surprised to see another volume of this and ya I don't remember any of this stuff past the web novel version ending. I was a big fan of the web novel but not so much the LN with all the stuff they adding. It also seems to be getting really convoluted.

I'm happy that Seika was able to meet his mother and form a good relationship with her. She might not appear again in the story, but that gave me some closure, even if I feel a bit bad for her not k owing her son actually has a reincarnated soul.
The origin of the hero was interesting, although as people mentioned it left us with other questions that hopefully will be answered in the next volumes. There is also the matter with the emperor, that might turn out to be the final boss depending on what he's planning.

I'm enjoying more than I expected this stint with Anriette as the main heroine. Of course I don't believe they're going to stay in this world, and regardless there is no way Allen will be able to live doing anything so it I'll inevitably end as the previous one. The question is how much of an antagonist Riese is going to be and if the other characters will oppose Allen too.

@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.

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.

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.

There hasn't been any new chapters posted to the WN since Nov 2024.

There's just enough material remaining to publish a volume 7, which will finish the current school arc. So even if the series doesn't continue, at least it won't end on a cliffhanger.

@Hylebos Could be Dozran, the fact that he waited till the final charge indicates to me that the plan was to have the spider kill either the emperor or Duke Raul, considering Volk took the place of Duke Raul to keep up the pretense of that objective hiding the fact that it was actually artilleryman #22. who killed Duke Raul

I would not be surprised if it ends up being someone in the Eins group.

I wonder if the spider is someone that Volk has successfully gotten under his thread thing that is close to Carmine as well.

Question about Ernesta considering the Mountain Capital.

I don't remember her backstory, but is she adopted or are side effects of heralding random? I mean - Karen's mother forgot about her, but did Ernesta's also? Cause her current banished mother doen't seem to.

Speaking of insane, where is the afterword?

A great volume. Sadly during the years after the anime aired I got some spoilers for what was going to happen, but I didn't know all the details and the climatic battle was still exciting to read. Given that Stella got a huge power up in the previous volume it was only fair that Ikki got his upgrade too. I wonder if he now has the potential to reach rank A himself, although given the theme of the series I don't think it's going to be easy and he'll still be the underdog in the future. Also, I'm always happy when the main couple is allowed to have sex.

Its nice to see what exactly went down during her interview since ir was mentioend loong ago how it was that.impact that made them hire her. And uh wow Awayuki you rly had no fear lmaooo. Still what a nice way to end this series Yuki said that she wisved to ne a Legend and a legend she became. Godspeed to her and as author mentions The spinoffs and youtube (lol) still going so Awayuki truly is forever !!!

With the rumor that V10 will begin pre-pub soonish, i got motivated and reworked the stat site.

It should now be fully mobile readable.

Default WDARL view is a modern card view

But I added a button to show a novel/manga formated WDARL list.

Not me grabbing a pen & paper to solve the math problem.

That diary/logbook is cursed if the princess was influenced just by reading it.

A new version of the manga is scheduled to release on April 6, 2026 (Manga Artist: Miyajima Ryoku / 宮嶋リョク).

Volume 1 Cover

There was another version that released on 2024, but I think it got canceled (I saw it a long time ago, but since the serialization page was gone I did not find any prof that it existed before finding a image from the cover for the Volume 1)

Not a fan of how everyone fighting with Sera is nerfed to oblivion so she can have flawless victories. Sure, there are external factors, like the Empire swordsman was injured and Oscar was still young, but it only makes the other characters who instead struggle against the same opponents looking bad in comparison.
Anyway, turns out Ryo was right in hating the Debuhi empire from the start. I hope that this arc is going to end with its destruction.

I liked this ending, especially getting some more story background on Ai Fa's parents. These little afterthought and side stories really make these novels.

I’ve watched the anime and i’m currently reading the manga but i’m thinking about reading the LN once i’m done and if i enjoy it i’m gonna genuinely need a Physical release of the English LNs cause oh my god is it just expensive to find a copy of the manga whatsoever but for now i’ll come back here once i’ve started reading the light novels.

Yes. Thank you for putting it diplomatically. I hope in the future the prepubs will be clear enough to understand, without attribution mistakes.
