      Well it was released in Japan yesterday, my friend who is much more fluent in Japanese provided the only comment in regards to the book. "Good end", and if anyone has seen the final illustration, they can understand why. Actually all the illustrations were rather beautiful.
      I cannot wait until the translation is started and completed. Then I would just wait for the paperbacks.

        Justus R. Stone and his podcast crew recently referred to this series as "creepy". I haven't found this series "creepy" so could someone elaborate on this for me.

                  @paul-nebeling Yeah. I kinda figured all that out but since this is a fantasy world I just kind of rolled with the story and never really got that vibe from it that was mentioned in the podcast. I actually have really enjoyed this story and can't wait for volume 8 to be released. I just didn't see it that way so I was kind of like....
                  What?

                    @myskaros Thanks for the explanation. It's just I never got that vibe from any of the story so it somewhat confused me as to why they would say that. I happen to think the author did a good job of resolving that issue so I just didn't get that comment.

                      @lighthawk96 It's well-researched enough that it's not something you can just dismiss by ignoring it. The author may have written it without making it seem overly problematic, but the realistic truth is that there are unavoidable problems. That's why some people will always find it "creepy" or "exploitative." If you don't, then that's fine.

                        nice summary of why this type of relationship is problematic,

                          @jon-mitchell I pretty much glossed over Dale and Latina's relationship because, frankly, she isn't human, so do human standards even apply? I hadn't even thought about what you said in your spoiler, but, yeah. Absolutely.

                          For a disturbing relationship, read Bluesteel Blasphemer. (Details below)

                          spoiler

                          Pretty messed up. Dale and Latina really don't compare to that.

                            being human (or related) or not may un-check some boxes and check some others as to if :

                            For My Daughter, walks a tightrope. I understand how some could find it creepy. I eventually didn't. The author spent enough time fleshing out the culture and context of Dale/Latina's relationship and Latina's background. She had agency.
