Various Thoughts

Not all that much to say about the third Ore dake Level ga Agaru Sekai novel. It’s essentially more of the same content, while plotwise we’ve only just reached the game’s starting point. Potential trouble on the horizon would be hints the romance elements may develop into a love triangle or even harem situation… something it definitely does not need.

Speaking of harems, Mushoku Tensei‘s penultimate installment oddly does not deliver a big climatic battle. All the foreshadowing made it out like there was going to be some grand melee and they basically only ended up fighting one guy. Then, as insult to injury, a second guy shows up at the last second to end things on a cliffhanger. Really disappointed in how this series’ conclusion is playing out so far.

The second Ore dake Level ga Agaru Sekai book is much like the first. It just sort of breezes along doing its own thing not really bothering with any sort of exposition.

Mushoku Tensei‘s twenty-third installment on the other hand waffles about quite a bit. Not much really happens in it beyond a meeting with the mercenaries from the protagonist’s days of impotence and the antagonist acquiring a final ally toward the end.

Looks like there will be one more book of setup and then the twenty-fifth will presumably focus on the showdown with the Man-God’s agents. With only one book left after that… I’m left somewhat concerned over how the series will end.
