  • The Hero Laughs While Walking the Path of Vengeance a Second Time #8 & The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World #5

    Posted on July 7, 2025 12:39 am by Offkorn Comment

    The conclusion to Nidome no Yuusha wa Fukushuu no Michi o Warai Ayumu starts out immediately from where the previous novel left off, proceeds to waste a bunch of time on detailing the vampire’s history, and then ends in a remarkably aggravating manner.

    The harem of yandere ending the way it did was I suppose one of the better results you could expect from such a thing, but the final revenge scenario is just pure brute force. It lacks any of the inventiveness the earlier ones had. The elf never being mentioned again is also an issue (would’ve rather had some backstory on him instead of the vampire) and it’s annoying that we never get any focus on the last couple of hero party members. A near total disappointment in the end.

    I ended up reading the fifth Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki novel, days before its official release date, due to a publisher error that replaced the contents of the the fifth Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival novel with this instead. While I don’t recall much of the series from the Anime adaptation, jumping in here turned out decent enough since it begins with a fresh start of sorts for the protagonists. That said, most of it is pretty generic with only the interactions with the demons sparking any interest.

  • The Hero Laughs #7 & That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime #19

    The seventh Nidome no Yuusha novel thankfully keeps the incestuous vibes to a minimum. And though we don’t get to reunite with the protagonist’s previous two harem members yet, there is some focus on his former/current girlfriend. Not sure how I feel about the sci-fi-ish deity situation though.

    Tensura‘s nineteenth entry is basically two sets of battles with a strategy meeting sandwiched between them. Well really one and a half, since the first is just a continuation of what began in the previous novel. While not terrible, I think it could do with about 60% less mechanic/stat-related exposition… and I’m not really sold on the idea that the author’s going to drag this final confrontation out for three more books.

    While waiting for the twelfth Youjo Senki novel to get translated I happened to notice that there was a rather massive gap between it’s Japanese release date and a potential continuation. Fortunately the thirteenth finally showed up last month so it looks like an indefinite hiatus has been avoided.

    Regardless, this one is fairly self-contained and takes place almost entirely in Ildoa. To be honest there doesn’t seem to be much point to it as the action seems set to return right back to the Eastern front. Conquest for conquest’s sake which… may actually have been the point. Not sure if I’m going to jump right into the follow-up when/if it’s translated or wait several years until the next arc is complete before grabbing all of them at once.

    I’d previously had misgivings about the direction the sixth Nidome no Yuusha book was heading. Fortunately, for the most part, it manages to pull the gamble off. There are certainly some issues with the sci-fi elements and I’m not thrilled by the sibling complex but all-in-all it ends up a solid continuation.

    I find myself morbidly fascinated about where exactly a harem composed entirely of yanderes will end up. I certainly don’t see any sort of happy ending in the cards.

  • The Hero Laughs While Walking the Path of Vengeance a Second Time #1-5 & The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary #8

    Nidome no Yuusha wa Fukushuu no Michi o Warai Ayumu is a series in the vein of Tate no Yuusha and Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi, just focused almost entirely on gruesome vengeance with not much in the way of sexual elements. There is a harem situation, but it’s a bit unique in that all the girls are some flavor of yandere.

    Issues would be the not quite universal nature of the initial time reset (if others kept their memories it kind of undermines the whole premise), the vast majority of the third novel (which is mostly flashback), overuse of laughter-related onomatopoeia, and the cliffhanger ending of the fifth novel. It goes in an extremely unexpected direction there in one of the worst ways possible. Then again, it certainly hasn’t shied from torturing its protagonists alongside their enemies… so perhaps that isn’t quite as random as it seems.

    Either way, it looks like the sixth novel will either make or break the series.

    Speaking of cliffhangers, the eighth Kuitsume Youhei novel also happens to end on one, albeit one far less severe. It also feels a lot shorter than previous entries and honestly doesn’t really accomplish/add much of anything.

    If the next book continues that trend I’m probably going to end up dropping it.
