I may be biased as Re:zero was the first web novel I had ever read, but it is by far my favorite out of the ~170 I've read so far.It's a fun novel. The translators and author are really great. Story's pretty long too (apparently only half way done, author said something about 12 or 14 volumes) and I really love the writing style of the author and translators. Arc 7 is going in an interesting direction.For me, the storyline and the world the story takes place is interesting, not necessarily well written. The characters seem unique (compared to the usual Isekai at least). For once in an Isekai novel, I actually have no idea of know what's going to happen. Despite "return to death" the antagonists feel threatening. Antagonists aren't just killed off after a couple chapters. The places he visits actually feel important and unique. (in some other Isekai novels, MC visits, I think of some generic town/scenery, another couple chapters, and he/she's leaving for another place never to visit again.I'll admit, I got a bit tired of some of the parts that just feel a bit too long, but thinking about it, the author might be going for a feeling of 'he finally did it!'One thing I don't understand is why the hell BlackMazino's review has so many likes. I mean, maybe he/she wrote it as a joke and people liked it as a joke. It really looks like the writing of a 10 year old. Seriously though"Why don't MC find powerful people... Make contract with devil/demon, find good weapon, make weapon using 'Japan knowledge's, learn blah blah blah, gather info on enemy weakness."Let's see, he's already pretty friendly with the f*ckING SWORD SAINT, powerful people have their own problems, what demon/devil? (I mean, there is Ram and some others) but what about a contract, they're not always going to be f*cking helpful or permanent for that matter, he does find the enemy's weakness eventually or find some other way to get out of it.And the "Japan knowledge" really ticks me off. Yup, modern weaponry is only in Japan, not anywhere else on Earth, Subaru the NEET and highschool dropout definitely knows how weapons work and are made, and the magical medieval style world he's in has the technology to manufacture or create weapons.
