  • 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 fourth Kajiya novel starts off much the same as the previous ones, focusing mostly on food and home improvements. The problem lies in the second half; for some reason the author decided it would be a good idea to turn Helen into a meek damsel in distress. Worse, he brags about this choice in the Afterword. So yeah, don’t think I’ll be following this any further.

    Leadale’s sixth entry on the other hand is more of the same all the way through. Cayna still has a short temper while obliviously using excessively strong abilities that make her stand out. Only difference here is now you have a new character that she can use her full strength on without worrying about killing him. Plot-wise we get some background information on the the game world and why it became a real world… though it’s not all that helpful to be honest. Still an okay time waster, but it definitely needs a better editor to become anything more.

  • That Time I Got Reincarnated as a SLIME #13 & In the Land of Leadale #4-5

    Posted on April 29, 2022 3:26 am by Offkorn Comment

    By the end of the 12th TenSura novel I was feeling somewhat disenchanted by the series. A mood that its follow-up did not immediately lift. It starts out rather slow unfortunately with far too much time spent detailing the technical aspects of the Empire’s tanks/airships. Once the limiter gets removed though it picks up quite a bit, ending up one of the more entertaining displays of utter domination. The Dwarf interlude and epilogue stand out in particular.

    The English versions of the Leandale no Daichi nite novels sadly do not quite match the quality of the Anime adaptation. Partly (mostly?) because the publisher seems to have used their editing B-team. Not only is there a bad case of ‘same voice’ but there are quite a number of typos/mistakes as well. Even worse, the end of the 4th book and beginning of the 5th blatantly contradict.

    How do you get “To my fiancée” from “Name her” (the latter being the correct phrase)? Was there no proofreading at all?

    Content-wise however I’d say they’re pretty comparable, with the only notable exception being the abnormally large food focus. Because of course there’s a food focus. Only other thing to note is that the transition from the end of the Anime to the start of book 4 is not a smooth one since the former only adapts half of book 3. This is not an issue for that 4th book (since it includes a recap) but appears to be one for the 5th, which prominently features re-occurring characters who did not appear in the Anime.
