  • In the Land of Leadale #7 & Reborn to Master the Blade #7

    Posted on December 15, 2022 3:46 am by Offkorn Comment

    I can no longer chalk up the consistently disjointed character interactions in the seventh Leadale novel to simple technical mistakes. At this point I’m convinced that the Anime adaptation just had particularly good scriptwriters. Regardless, I’ll be dropping the series here since in addition to that the length leaves much to be desired (and the unchecked growth of the recap section is fairly alarming as well).

    Joining the above on the dropped pile, the seventh Bu o Kiwameru Tame Tenseisu novel is even shorter. Adding insult to injury, it also happens to end mid conversation. As if that weren’t bad enough, the author goes on in the Afterword about how they ‘have so much more to write’ and ‘think it’s best to be writing multiple series concurrently’. You can’t even finish an arc in this one! It’s just plain insulting.

    The first thing to note about this series is that the English title is quite off the mark (the original title uses ‘martial arts’). There is very little sword-fighting in here, with the protagonist instead specializing in unarmed combat and energy blasts, so I have no idea why it was changed to something so ill-fitting. Makes me wonder what else was changed.

    The next is that like in Tanya not much is made of his being a girl now. After the initial shock and occasional misgivings (usually used as comic relief) he doesn’t much care and ends up with an attitude similar to Kendeshi‘s protagonist in that he enjoys looking at his own reflection.

    And the last is that the series takes something of a nose-dive in the fifth volume (which is significantly shorter than previous ones) and doesn’t recover much in the sixth. These two really should have been cut down into a single novel with most of the dragon-meat-related content excised. Now this deterioration could be attributed to the events mentioned in the Afterword, and I sincerely hope that ends up being the case… but I guess we’ll have to see how the seventh turns out.
