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.

This volume was more down to earth compared to the few before, more personal with less action. There's a lot of "oblivious to romance" but it's cute and well written so that it doesn't drag. And it has a very strong side character game, as usual.

As a character, Noelle is a treasure. I love how she's at the same time the true hero and a comedic relief, at once being scary good at anything she tries but also a little pathetic. Though that's something that a lot of the characters share - being highly capable but also something of a disaster. But still, there's only one Noelle.

Just like during the international tournament arc, often when Noelle fights against or with someone, we get a glimpse into what makes them tick, and they usually turn out to be interesting people you can empathize with. Even her opponents don't have to be monsters (though some are). I really like that approach.

Also, that cliffhanger was downright evil.

My assumption was Rossweisse.
I think she could be cut out of the story without any real alterations to the plot. Despite the huge in-universe impact of being by far the MVP in every fight, you could just change a few numbers in the post-fight stats and be good to go. And aside from that her actions have only had effects in the moment.
And she certainly makes things "more vibrant".

This series is odd to me. The science techno-babble was nice, until a few mistakes made it a bit more of a slog. The story is interesting, until little inconsistencies add up (I think the author should consider more detailed notes for small details). The constant references to troublesome tropes have gotten quite dull. I will still read on, but I can't say I'd recommend this series.

On another note, I hope he eventually makes a water whip. Whips can move quite fast! He's not really done much with controlling liquid water though, even bothering to make his solar lense out of ice...

@Rahul-Balaggan That was a good time, I was just too busy to notice.

@karasutengu said in Sword Saint Adel's Second Chance Vol. 3 Discussion!:

Is this the end of this series? The author's comments at the end of the Afterword seem to indicate that. Am I reading too much into them?

It is possible it isn't selling well and they don't know how many more volumes they will be allowed to write.

How to Melt the ICE Queens Heart was like that. It ends on a opening ending and it was heart breaking in the afterword as your could just see the author was trying force to stay positive as they knew their series was gonna get axed most likely.

@Abedeus The anime also changed up some content as well, like changing the culprits behind the rockmen puppets as Akaza and one of his underlings (instead of the jester man and the other fellow).

All references to Alisuin being a mole for Akatsuki were also removed from the finale.

Vol 15 bonus is several color illustrations and one 5 page story about cooking a cabbage snack to go with beer.

I think i will go mad if i read Flio's easy going smile just one more time.

@nappingcub That's some good news!

On the flipside, we're coming up on the end of the year and that volume 7 that I mentioned a tweet about doesn't appear to even be announced yet. Granted, we have 3 months left, and it seems like sometimes announcements come literally days prior to release, so it's not impossible, but...

@LightningLeaf well to be fair that wasn't his first kiss either, he's kissed both Monica and Novem already back in volume 5

Is it just me, or do Beryl and Ficelle have similar speech patterns, succinct with occasional word elision but with inclusions of "Hmm" or "Mm" here and there?

@staylo67 v15 came out less than a year ago, and hasn't released v16 yet. I understand missing the series, but time frames are really worth keeping in mind. There's no major reason for JNC to try and rush the next volume out if it'd hurt the business relationship long term.

One would think that, at volume 26, readers would be familiar with the notion that values in isekai are different from Japan and summoned people need to adapt in order to survive. Yet, author always feel the need to explain the concept every time it appears in the story. But well, at volume 26 we are all well aware of what to expect from this series, the only thing we can do is vent some frustration for the author's endless rambling about unnecessary things while appreciating when the plot moves.

@GeorgeMTO thanks, good to know there will be more to read.

@Lex I'm expecting the next volume to skip over it completely tbh. Based on the wording there, it's likely to happen next on the date.

@swiggy1957

There will be a physical edition of Volume 14.

The listing should go live on all stores later this year. No public release date as of right now

Thank you

How is Zweit still alive? Getting an assassin on your back without any sort of protection means you're dead, no? If he realized he's under attack why the fuck didn't he activate the item given to him. Where are the birds? And how could whoever cast the barrier pinpoint him with such accuracy. How was Zelos planning to come to help without means to well, come to help?

This story is entertaining but runs on stupidity and stupidity only... and this time it is a bit too much.
