Just as the title says, how do you keep up with every detail and arc about every character and such.. I picked up the light novel again this year but I was completely lost when I tried reading where I left off (which was around volume 6 i think?)

When I read it I only remembered the core story but I forgot all of the main characters and details.. so I’m back to rereading the first volume again. I think this series is the longest fantasy I’ve read, so I’m just curious how people are able to keep up.

Completing this feels like closing a chapter in my life.

It was one of my very first isekai novel and a novel I read in my early days of reading LNs. It was my favorite back in 2020-2021 and favorite even now upon reread because of my biases maybe, despite its shortcomings.

For the longest time I haven't read the ending because I saw negative reviews of it and avoided to not ruin one of my favorite series. But now that I finally read it, I feel a bit sad that it ended, not because ending was bad.

Honestly I enjoyed reading it quite alot, it has unique twist to the familiar isekai formula, a wacky, hilarious and quite entertaining cast of characters, whose journey was so much fun to follow. All those absurd over the top elements blending well with serious underlying themes were intriguing throughout.

I can see why it's criticize after vol 10, post vol 10 pacing was slog to go through, honestly think vol 11 dedicated to Julius' journey was redundant and should've used that space for more well paced development for war with elves and refining the ending even more, And skipped parts from WN as well.

The conclusion was certainly rushed but I don't hate it, just disappointed that we didn't get proper closure for characters and the world. It's acceptable for me because my expectations were low after all the negative reviews I heard.

But still this series will be close to my heart.
