Fate/strange Fake

Fate/strange Fake #2

by Ryohgo Narita, Siduki Morii (Illustrator), Type-Moon (Original Planing)

“Gadis Bertudung Merah Apartemen Semina” adalah legenda urban sebuah tempat bernama Fuyuki. Namun ada kelanjutan yang tidak diceritakan di legenda tersebut.

Kelanjutannya dimulai di Snowfield, Amerika. Saat ini, sang protagonis legenda itu, Ayaka Sajou, tengah terlibat dalam hal yang jauh lebih tidak masuk akal dari legenda konyol mana pun, yaitu… Holy Grail War yang penuh kepalsuan.

“Aku bertanya padamu, apa kau Masterku?”
Dalam gedung opera yang setengah hancur, sosok kesatria berzirah yang menyebut dirinya sebagai “Saber” muncul di hadapan Ayaka.

Partisipasi sosok misterius yang bahkan tak diketahui oleh para dalang di balik Holy Grail War ini membuat situasi semakin kacau.

About the author

Ryohgo Narita (成田 良悟, Narita Ryōgo) is a Japanese light novelist. He won the Gold Prize in the 9th Dengeki Novel Prize for Baccano!, which was made into a TV anime in 2007.[1] His series Durarara!! was also made into a TV anime, which began airing January 2010


There are two traits found in most of Narita's works:
* Narita writes extremely fast, one volume a month if he wishes - with tons of spelling errors and missing words as a tradeoff. The editors like to leave them sometimes just for fun, though.
* His work titles often have an exclamation mark at the end (i.e. Baccano!, Vamp!, Durarara!!, etc.).

Kanji names: 成田 良悟 & 成田良悟.

I reviewed this for Lady Business, but what you actually need to know is that ensemble casts doing high-octane nonsense is exactly Narita Ryohgo's skill set and I'm honestly amazed there are Fate series that he ISN'T writing.

NGL I bought this only for Enkidu, but never thought I'd grow fond of other characters. I think Jester and Assasin are really cute?? he is freaky but that's where the fun is lmao and the way Assasin always tries to ward him off.

The assassin (Jester's servant) has a complex character, so devoted yet being classified as the one who lurks in the shadow. I wonder how will his interaction with Gilgamesh will be since Gil seems to despise those who blindly devote themselves without asking 'why'. I think Tine and Assasin will have a great discussion tgt if the whole circumstances not like this

The interaction betweenEl Melloii II - his student always give me great laughs!
Love how Gilgamesh never wastes a second to mention his bestie lmao

Reallly enjoy how Ryohgo-sensei write from one perspective to another, that really gives my imagination more layers in picturing the storyline. I was skeptical at first BCS when I watched DRRR!! it's really confusing, but when it becomes a story it likes a spaced repetition?? I don't have a hard time remembering who is who due to his writing style. Maybe I should tr to read DRRR! novel too just to make sure

I’ve gotta start picking up the pace and finish these light novels b/c the anime comes out in a month and I want to watch the episodes as they air.

This Holy Grail War concept of fake and real servants initially confused me, but the more I read the cooler it gets.
I especially love the Archer Vs Archer fight where True-Archer is just rage baiting Gilgamesh the whole battle and it’s strangely effective.
As much as I want to know the true names of all of the True-servants at the same time I want to be surprised so I’m not going to look them up. Having said that, here are my guesses for the three true-servants that have been mentioned so far:

1. Saber is Richard I, but I already knew that
2. I know assassin is a Hassan of a thousand faces and I feel like which one he was has already been stated so I don’t want to guess the name to save myself sounding like an idiot.
3. I’m guessing Archer is going to be a Chinese or Japanese heroic spirit.
4. Lancer was kind of shoe-horned in at the end so I don’t really have a guess, but knowing my luck it’s gonna be Chu Chulainn

4.25 stars!!

...I'm sorry but how did that one guy summon a grand servant??? I thought that grand servants weren't even able to be summoned, but at least now we know that Gramps will be in the story!! I also love the Saber guy that the Japanese girl summoned (I can't remember most of the characters' names)! I already know his true name from spoilers, but if I didn't know who he was, I probably would've guessed that he's another knight of the round table. I also think that assassin is maybe Little Red Riding Hood based on what happened in chapter 10.

P.S., my favorite servant and master dynamic so far is (obviously) Jack the Ripper and his master. I just love how his master is so seemingly innocent and oblivious to the consequences of the Holy Grail War, and Jack the Ripper the whole time is just like, "Is this guy seriously my master??" I wonder if his character will change later in the story though (I hope not).

Akhirnya dibaca juga volume 2 ini, padahal sudah saya beli dari akhir 2021.

Berbeda dengan volume 1 yang masih prolog di volume 2 ini sudah terjadi beberapa kali pertarungan walau lagi-lagi porsinya masih sedikit dan mungkin masih akan disimpan di volume berikutnya. Penceritaannya juga masih terbilang pelan dan cukup banyak narasinya, namun karena terjemahannya enak jadi tidak terasa membosankan. Di volume ini juga telah muncul karakter-karakter baru yang membuat pembaca penasaran siapa mereka dan dari mana mereka berasal. Dan karena itulah yang membuat saya penasaran dengan volume berikutnya. Yah semoga saja saya bisa cepat membaca volume 3 lalu membeli volume 4.

F/S F is really, really slow. I guess you need time to build up such a huge cast, but it does sometime feel like not much is happening, even for the early stages of a Holy Grail War. What F/S F lacks in action though, it makes up with interesting character concepts and ideas. Hansa and the brief appearance of True Archer and True Assassin were among my favourites.
