Hands off! One of the best novels I have ever read. From where should I start?
- Story profession: One of the best aspect of this novel is the story and how it progress... You never get bored or never does it repeat it self. The villains are not mindless evils and actually has real objectives, MC is an level minded and truly relatable. Everyone would do the more or less same thing in his position. He is not overly good nor overly bad. Each chapters has something to add to the story and almost no filler. Its really enjoyable ride.
- Character depth: What can I say... Its amazing to think that a writer would so much thought and so much effort in each and every characters. A huge list of characters and each has something to say. All most all has a back story and all plays a good role in their respective field. From a goblin to a nameless merchant, they don't pop up without reason nor they disappear. The writer puts the reader in their position and lets you their point of view. Its just refreshing.
- The Mc: Though its a personal opinion, I like mature and clever MC. Vandaleu is lot more mature and a lot more reasonable than any other 20-30+ year old MC, despite being a little kid and there is a really good reason behind it too. His motivation, his goals are clear. He grows himself and his companions with him. He depends on others just as much they depend on him.
- Translation: One of the best translator on the net. It's almost has no difference from a actual English novel and the quality of the translation is really good. The writer has good japanese humor, and the translator does his utmost capture it. TL notes and explanations are plenty, which is obviously a great help. The chapters are really big so I can understand why the releases are slow (1/week).
- This novel is overall a really good read.
