@Lily-Garden The manga is definitely easier to follow than the LN. I also enjoyed the anime (season 1), and I'm looking forward to season 2.

@saidahgilbert - it was a big shift from a mix of adventure and family time to 100% family time, and I agree the author didn't pull it off. I don't regret reading volumes 3-4 but I understand skipping them for being too much sugar without any spice.

@wellwisher Chapter 11 is where he's fighting a guild in the dungeons. I def felt the manga may have watered things down.

The other is Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy which I highly recommend.

Yesss!! Great portrayal of a paladin. It's one of my favorite books so I was happy to see it mentioned. Faraway Paladin has done a great job so far too (I need to read the LN now)

Yes, Moon's take on a paladin is more human and more admirable than the stereotypes of the insufferable goody two-shoes and the humorless zealot. Faraway Paladin gets it right (for me) in some of the same ways.

Last day. Time to try and go through at least one volume in 24 hours. xD

3/4 I need to catch up with, so this is good.

I just haven't read one volume in Clockwork iirc.
