Wasn't this Bell's intentions from the start? The novel started with the premise of Bell seeking a harem. If the author does not go down this route and give us a splendid harem end, he should just drop dead. Hmph!
Well, jokes aside, I really hope Bell will go for the harem. \o/

There is a line in the first volume that says this almost word-for-word. If not for the lulz and epic battles I'd have dropped the series right there.

I thought it was interesting when I first saw it, but I can't read the comments, which mostly just look like timeline determinations. The rest is clear enough. For those who don't have it figured out, the vertical columns are: Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, Magic, Aggregate Score, Change in Aggregate from last given Status, When in the series the values appear (Volume and Page #), Days since Bell gained Hestia's Grace I was going to try to use it to explain why it's unlikely that Lili will be leveling up any time soon, but it wouldn't work for that because Bell was still in the beginner's growth period when he got Single Minded Pursuit, so his rate of growth there is still much higher than what Lili would have experienced in the last half year since she had her Status updated. Thanks for the Volume 6 info so far, and I look forward to more spoilers from you as well. |

Finished!!! Took total of around 7 hours to read through.
I stand corrected, this is the best volume of this series to date. Everything that took place reaffirmed why I love this series so much. Comedy, anger, shame, friendship, love, and pushing yourself to the limit for the people you care about. Almost like a Shonen Jump punchline, which is exactly what this series is all about to me. Combining all the characters (literally) of all previous volumes and elements of the the previous 2 best volumes (3 and 5), this volume is a concentrated mixture of pure, endorphic euphoria. Chapter 5 is entirely dedicated to the War Game in the form of Castle Siege, which was around 67 pages out of a book of 350 pages; very appropriate mixing of grand scale assault (volume 5's "raid" was around 500 people, here it's 5v100) and individual foot soldier fight (1v1 in volume 3). As people have commented else where, the cathartic feel from finishing the book in one go is unbeatable. As usual, the epilogue was incredibly short and powerful, this is truly the end of Part 1 of this series. For those who has enough self-control to not read spoilers (I never have self control w), you can skip the rest, but I think you should at least know that next volume would be Freya-centric. New official romanized names: Ryu Lion, Riveria Ljos Alf, Naza Ersuisu (I've been using Nuadha), Asufi al Andromeda, Bete Loga Huge block of text Spoiler for Volume 6:
Despite me being an Ais fan, Hestia was really nice this chapter. Feels more like a Goddess finally. Bete finally is getting a lot more likeable. No CP with Ais though, Tenzen pls go . @Karoshi Hyacinthus, Cassandra (long hair) and Daphne (short). @GodTurtleOm thanks for digging that up, i was comparing the stats gain myself and saved me time finding them. I wouldn't cross out on no Lily leveling next volume though! PS: Didn't spell or grammar check. |

The griding an leveling stuff will go almost unnoticed due to the characters interactions. Vol.3's Bell vs Minotaur seem like team work for you? There wasn't even a final fight on Vol.4. Vol.5 was a raid. Vol.6 has multiple battles including 1 vs 1 and 1 vs x number and team vs team. |

Noone knows where Hera is. Bell was Zeus' adoptive grandfather. Would it be weird to think the waitress gal might be Hera in disguise and she's kinda watching out for her adoptive grandson? Nawww...probably not...
