Rudeus has conquered the Demon Continent and traveled across half the world. Along the way, he's made friends and bested enemies. Now, finally, their long adventure is nearing an end. When Rudeus finds his father Paul, it has all the makings of a tender moment--so why does it turn into a father-son brawl? Is Rudy doomed to repeat al the mistakes of his past life?
The new dynamic with the new cast of characters was refreshing And while much of Sara’s interaction felt a bit of rehash of Eris’s, the very different demeanour and characterisation of Rudeus made it all feel exciting and new, although in a depressive way seemed more mature, although more self deprecating as well. And this sort of fulfilled my gripes in the my previous book’s review. It really was sudden, and it really does haunt him. The departure of Eris, as well intended as was portrayed, has left rudeus in a rut. The plot for searching for Zenith sort of gets aside, as we see rudeus spend a year... being depressed
The prose is still the same. Again is the tendency to explain away everything, which is fine, but I am increasingly left wanting at times However, Sara’s voice did sound a little different from rudeus’s. a gripe I’ve raised before, where I found every character to sound like rudeus. But I must mention. This is only the case in first person povs of different characters. In places where there is 3rd person narrative, the world and characters do shine more.
The twist and the slap at the end was a bit visceral lol Anime like tropes but done well..??
But still the question I have is, what was the reason? If these escapades with the crimsons doesn’t lead to anything them it feels like a waste of time. But I do hope that we return to them, since despite the cliche like characters, it was a good time reading Rudy interact with new people.
Still read it, still enjoyed it Can’t say I’m going to enjoy the “high school” plot though coming next volume They even have a student council, so it speaks to the author’s origins as well But I digress.
I can’t wait for the long awaited reunion between the 2 most powerful mages and I hope it is done some justice.
5+/5 Incroyable comme toujours ! On a aussi ressentis les émotions à travers le livre incroyable !!! Ducoup Rudeus arrive à milison et ducoup fais la rencontre de son père et vraiment on a ressentis les émotions mais vraiment, enfaite je comprends quand même Paul prc lui aussi à vécu des truc et ducoup il s'est mis à boire et tout rien aller et vraiment il a trop placer d'espoirs en Rudeus alors que il a 11ans donc voilà je comprends aussi sa position. Rudeus vraiment moi je lui aurait plus parler à Paul mais ça se joue aussi que dans sa vie d'avant on a eu un petit flashback qu'il c'était embrouiller avec un mec et ducoup il avait pas essayer de se faire pardonner ou chez pas quoi, mais après la scène où ils sont en train de pleurer c'est grave émouvant ! Et bonus la planche ou Éris fait un calin à Rudeus quand il s'est embrouillé avec son père et incroyable trop bien faite !
This manga just hit all the right notes and it also happens to be the point in the anime that I totally fell for it. The rest was good, solid, entertaining, but by the time we finally got to Rudy and Paul's reunion, it was very emotional. Real, even. And both times I encountered this story, I admit I kinda broke into tears.
Sometimes, it just sneaks up on you. And even when you know it's coming, it still sucker-punches you.
It just put everything into new context, and it was truly tragic. Up to this point, it just felt like long adventure, too.
Per quanto il primo rincontro con Paul mi faccia sempre incavolare, quando si rivedono il giorno seguente mi fa sempre scoppiare a piangere....sopratutto ora che so cosa succederà più avanti.
The book is nice, but a specific moments, glimpse of 3rd world mentality from the delivery makes me want to vomit. The 3 main conflicts in this book was all caused by over contemplation in a completely wrong direction, while tripping on butt obvious pittfalls through sheer stupidity. When conflict in the plot is presented through a lack of braincells on the protagonist's part, it signals a serious lack of creativity. They say in Hindi it takes 100 reincarnations to gain enough humility for Nirvana, this fatass could clearly use another 99 from the amount of ego he's oozing out and still getting all his estimates wrong.
