Oops, I āforgotā to read last week.
Aka, I read almost two volumes of DanMachi instead
Iām going to catch up soonā¢ (Iāve been told that the next part is less interesting, so maybe Iāll feel like a change in one volume or so?)
Youāll feel it in this volume. Those starting parts are less interesting (honestly, from the prev volume) but important. But knowing you, yeah you can read them in one go (oh. āthe next partā is not less interesting)
We are talking about the next part in DanMachi (volume 8), right?
I meant that I might take a break around volume 8 and come back to Re Zero (so in a week or so)
If itās not less interesting, Iāll be back laterā¦ I guess?
Haha, sorry about the confusion. I thought it was obvious from the fact that I just said I was binge reading DanMachi.
Not that itās great literature (you probably canāt binge that), but it just flows. (Would be better without the fan service in the illustrations, but eh, Iāll leave). So, great entertainment value and itās readily available for free from my local library. At first I thought, hey, Iāll just read one or two, see how it goes. Then, every time I return a volume, turns out the next one is available, so, since Iām here already, I might as well just pick it up. Then I inadvertently end up reading it, think āmight as well return itā, and the cycle just goes on.
I seen the anime and I think the same as you. Good but the fan service is awful. I might have been reading it if I had not already too much unread book waiting.
I am still so fed up with Subaru, I wouldnāt call the reading nice! Just when I thought he was finally getting over himself he falls back into the same old way of thinking as soon as an āopportunityā presents itself. Iām only up to the beginning of chapter 3 and not quite done with this weekās reading btw, so there is a slim possibility it will get nicer.
I did enjoy Rem leaving him behind, though knowing her itās probably for his good, ungrateful waste of brain cells that he currently is. Also everyone elseās goodā¦ Well, except for the people at the å®æā¦ Poor owner!
But thatās what makes it nice! Let that hate build inside of you
Feels like everyone has a sensible mind except for him right now, kinda weird since heās the MC. But I guess it also makes sense. If youāre a looser of a teenager with no knowledge or skill, just getting transported to another world doesnāt change who you are (unlike what many other Isekais show, and looks like Subaru has been watching quite a few in his old world). Especially when your new acquaintances are people who have earned their places in the world.
But ehhh, I donāt know, he got lucky and was able to produce some results in the past with his RbDā¦ Maybe itās right that he thinks he can do what others canāt? I donāt know.
People really hates him. Heās maybe not my favorite MC but I donāt hate him either. I think next book is a EX novel so we could have a chance of stopping the dark side to take control of your hatred.
NO! You canāt stop before finishing volume 6 An EX novel would be perfect right after volume 6. Volumes 5 (especially from here on out) and 6 are the best in this arc and should be read together.
Iām not sure thatās the word Iād use - I just feel thereās a lot of opportunity for character growth hinted at (or, you know, practically knocking him over) that he just keeps ignoring and taking the easy way out. The easy way being staying stuck in old ways.
But @mrahhal raises a good point - that is who heās been all his life. Depending on others, not taking responsibility etc. Still, I hope thereās a break point soon where he actually chooses to work on some uncomfortable, personal growth. Thereās a limit to how much self pity I can stomach in one book (series)!
I hope I can agree with you that the 2nd half of book 5 and book 6 are great in a couple months, @mrahhal! Iām perfectly comfortable leaving the order of the (Ex) books up to you, too, considering your expertise.
