  • The Eminence in Shadow #4 & Sword Saint Adel’s Second Chance #2

    Posted on April 15, 2024 6:27 am by Offkorn Comment

    Against my better judgement, I went and picked up the fourth Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! novel after watching the second season of the Anime. The adaptation of the third novel wasn’t as head-and-shoulders above the one for the first two, so I figured I wouldn’t be missing much by reading the source material’s version of the ‘return to Earth’ arc immediately.

    Two things quickly became clear. The first being that the original version of the wedding arc was severely lacking compared to the adaptation, and the second being that the start of the ‘return’ arc is completely different from what was shown at the end of the Anime. There are neither cyborgs nor a rescue in the original, which leaves me wondering what exactly the showrunners are up to.

    Kenseijo Adel no Yarinaoshi‘s second entry is much like the first content-wise. Though a little on the short side, the pacing is solid and events are wrapped up nicely without any glaring absences. The most notable aspect would probably be Adel obliviously stealing the affections of the princess’ alternate timeline fiancé.

  • The Eminence in Shadow #1-3

    Posted on March 19, 2023 3:25 pm by Offkorn Comment

    I had originally decided to skip the Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! novels, as the premise sounded incredibly dumb. The Anime adaptation however ended up being good enough that I figured I’d check them out after all to see if any notable content was skipped.

    Turns out the Anime is actually more fleshed out than the novels. There are a handful of things mentioned in them that it skips, but for the most part the novels are almost like a summary in comparison. Still, in a vacuum though I’d say the first two at least are worth reading if you like Overlord-y works… the third however is a different story.

    The third doubles-down on the protagonist’s bizarre blindness to Shadow Garden’s activities to the point of contempt. Gamma literally had no issue giving him all their money earlier, yet he becomes fixated on scrounging for pocket change and just ignoring their accomplishments wholesale. It’s vaguely sickening.

    So anyway, if you have a choice between the novels or Anime, stick with the latter since it’s the more refined of the two.
