Well just finished reading this one... It's certainly not as wacky as the 1st book, and a lot more of a serious tone in the book, though there are some elements that still exist in the same format.

That isn't to say that it's worse or better, it's just different.

I still really enjoyed the story and I'm looking forward to new things in book 3! 😊

@terabyte Thanks for the link. What a mess. I think I can see where all sides of this mess are coming from and I have not had enough time to think it through. Unfortunately like most Americans I have only limited knowledge of the Sino Japanese war and Nanking both of which I have read of or seen mentioned but basically no information beyond the bare fact that both happened. Too bad something like this blowup had to happen I was enjoying the series and the characters up to this point Loli God was hilarious

Too bad, especially since the first two volumes didn't seem to me particularly controversial.

@darkrad Isn't she control AI No. 1? In one of the bonus stories (I think in vol 1) they mention that #1 wrote an article about the Dendro Diet where girls can eat all they want in Dendrogram and not gain wait, and that AI had the initial of "A".

@paul-nebeling back off, she's mine!!

Edit: 3p7 get to go one!/get to go to one!

I had a lot of fun with this volume. The whole series is tonally all over the place but somehow at this stage it really works. One minute it’s slice of life, then gory action then goofy hijinks all with a side order of cynical OP. I wouldn’t want every Light Novel to be like this but I’m really happy this one is.

Just read this and liked it way more than expected. It’s more grounded and that last battle scene with multiple perspectives was great. Looking forward to volume 2 being published.

Sorry I’m late, but I just finished this one and really enjoyed it.
The preview doesn’t seem to include the title image, but the other volumes’ previews do.

Glasses was totally

How bad I am with names:
Glasses girl's name was Asa I think? Church servant girl / sacrificial lamb had a Swedish name iirc (like Helga or Hilda?)? The rest I don't recall at all. xC

Really looking forward to when the LN passes the anime.

So this marks the end of everything I knew about Grimgar from impressions before JNC got the series (I knew

Wow! Look at that, 20 licenses on the dot. Yeah, so we're set for a bit.

When will the next license of those 20 be caught up to? Siskan only got two more volumes I think.

Way behind but finally finished this and of course it was just as wonderful as I’d hoped it would be. Epic dragon battle to end all epic dragon battles and Will remains grounded and real through it all. I am really impressed by how the underlying thematic integrity of the series remains. Thank you guys so much for your effort in translating and releasing this. It’s easily one of my favorite fantasy series.

nah. i knew very well what i was doing.

@korppi the reason Rokujouma isn’t listed in the schedule is cause they are released monthly, so whether part 1 becomes available the whole book is available for prepub at least, since it lists the whole book at time of prepub upload it won’t appear again when the ebook comes out.

This book isn’t listed cause more then likely it was just a issued whine added it to the schedule.

@rahul-balaggan thank you!

@hatguy12 I logged out-in a dozen times already. ITS BROKEN.

Pretty close to finished reading this on the catch-up, just been listening to it read aloud casually.

On part 13 I think:

What exactly did Naoto do for Marie?

I feel like this will be a solid series to reread. Just gotta deal with a lot of the nonsense playful arguing scenes between Naoto and his gals, and some political stuff.

thanks
