<The Water Magician> Volume 6 - Setup episode for all-out war coming up in the next one, and yet they’re still constantly doing that shitty MCU banter. Every second sentence out of MC and sidekick has to be some pseudo-witty remark. It’s grating.
<The Fearsome Witch Teaches in Another World: Pay Attention in Class!> Volume 1 - Entertaining new series. There was a bullying plotline early on, and I wasn’t sure if this was going to be a main focus of the series, but it got resolved quickly and seems to be resolved for good. There are some glaring plot holes, though, so it’s one of those series where you just have to turn off your brain.
<Frieren Beyond Journey’s End -Prelude- > Vol. 1 - Multiple short story vignettes. The first is during the time Fern was living with Heiter when a beaver stole her magic staff. The second short is about Stark after he left Eisen and before he joined Frieren and Fern. The third short story is about Lawine and Kanne as students on their first monster hunt. The fourth is about Aura around the time she first met the hero’s party. The last short is about Frieren dreaming about her past companions.
Before picking up the book, readers should know that this is strictly fan service. Not a single one of the stories stands on its own without reference to the manga/anime. The chapters about the side characters were a bit better in this regard since the author had a bit more freedom to explore with the less fleshed-out characters. I think it’s good enough for what it is, just go in with the right expectations. If someone is looking for a story in the “Frieren-style” that works on its own, then they should pick up <Enough with This Slow Life! I Was Reincarnated as a High Elf and Now I’m Bored> instead.
<The Accursed Chef and His Pair of Furry Foodies> Volume 3 - Volume concludes the first arc. I think this series is weaker than Sword Tensei. There are more reincarnators that MC interacts with in this story than there are natives, so it loses all the fantasy in my opinion.
Hello Bookworm! I looked it up, and the Library in Alexandria — which just so happens to be the greatest in all of Yurgenschmidt, nay… even the entire world — has the following entries:
I couldn’t find a series with the name "Frieren Beyond Journey’s End -Prelude- ". Maybe you should write it and send a copy to my library. In fact, I think this is a great idea and you absolutely should do so. Right now. Chop chop.
