    I checked and it was after finishing volume 4. I dropped it because her inner monologue made her look dumb/oblivious and because the characters were so inconsistent. Here’s a bit of what I wrote at the time:

    Also, suddenly she is some damsel in distress who needs to be rescued from some princeling when in previous volumes she was a powerful last boss cheat monster that could annihilate a platoon of bandits that even endangered the army. But no, now some single little prince can manhandle her as he wants. Such fucking inconsistent writing.

    And now that I’ve refreshed my memory I think I will stay away, even if there is country building.

      Is that when her leg got broke? Thats because she broke the last boss bitch mode and went to go save someone. Her abilities seem to work as a last boss type of thing. Also she broke her leg because they were dropping bombs from invisible blimps and that wasn’t explained in the game, so she was just a clueless teen for that.

      Shes just another dumb person put into a role that she mostly knows. I believe that’s why they switch to a lot more other points of views and broaden the story.

        I don’t remember het leg getting broke or invisible blips. Must be after volume 4. But I don’t remember much anymore about the series so I might just as well have forgotten. I don’t think though that I would have had such a negative reaction if her damsel-ness could be explained with some broken bones.

          Well reincarnated pride is not the brightest, nor very socially adept. I dont even remember how old she we before becoming 8 year old pride. But she was someone who no lifed the game ORL and can only remember most things from the game, but she knows nothing about a lot of things as the story goes on. And it shows.

          She settles well into a side character. The books start using pride as s setting for the rest of the cast. Its not bad, again id say some parts are great.

          Though ill say her damselness in vol 4 is probably her leg being broken. Its might not have been mention or described at the end since i didn’t check. But she gets sidelined hard in vol 5 and then the books delve into everyone else thats around. She even described one character as a secrete route she didnt know about.
