This is all the information that I've collected about this story... beware for heavy spoilers!! especially the character section.

Spoiler for Chapter 1:

The outline for the prologue is as in the synopsis above, Akira who accidentally reincarnated to wrong world, and then learn that the world, Zeotia is in war between the [Upper] stratums and the [Lower] stratums. He then acoompanied the six knights he met and fight against master of fifth stratum. The fight went fierce and left only him and one knight, Azuria as survivors. Azuria went back to [Upper] stratums to report and Akira wait for her, but she never come back. Fifth stratum restructured itself and Akira is left alone there. He is attacked from behind and incapacipated but saved by a mysterious person.

Spoiler for Chapter 2:

This chapter is mainly told from the perspective of Akira, the "Outsider" perspective. Began half-a-year from previous chapter. Akira now live in fifth stratum that has changed to slums. He still cannot communicate to people of Zeotia. Added with his unusual right arm, he is notorious as a "Mad Dog". He worked as money collector under Rodwey, member of organization called as [Company] until he gain money enough to buy him Item that can help him understand the language of Zeotia. Rodwey give Akira a map to the place where he can get a translate, there Akira met a girl with ice lens who introduced herself as Corcesca and told him that she has accepted his request to analyze Japanese language. The girl explains her method is like Turing's Test and name it as "Unreliable Tense and Narrator Solution", she also later mention the situation of it as Heidegger Philosophy. Corcesca told Akira that she need 1 week to finish analyzing and upload it to database. During his stay with Corcesca, Akira is suspicious and wary toward her. Akira learned much from her about this world, and that he is a being called as Xenoglossia, "A person from another world".

In the midst of the week, Akira helped a boy from a gang of thugs and it later lead to a fight where it ended in lose to him. Akira gained consciousness and found himself at a clinic run by young girl, Trishula. Trishula told Akira that Corcesca is hiding something from him, Corcesca appeared and confirm it but she add that it's the same for Trishula as well. Later, Rou Khain, the person who defeat Akira is taking the boy hostage and he broadcast the challenge for Akira. Akira initially ignored it but after finding the reason to save him, he went to the sixth stratum with Corcesca accompanying. The battle started with advantage to Akira but he cannot stand against Khain. Trishula come riding a bike and save him, situation changed suddenly when Flambeau Knights appeared, trying to apprehend Trishula. Situation turns for the worse when a monster sent by Trident (Corcesca and Trishula rival), Cassario butt in the fray, targetting Akira, Corcesca, and Trishula. Akira, who received new right arm from Trishula, along with two girls and Khain, fight and defeat Cassario.

After that Trishula and Corcesca told Akira about them, being a member of Celestial Gaze (Hoshimi no Tou), and candidates to fill the 71st throne of Cytos Sisters, their objectives and their invitation to Akira: Accept either one of them as master and become her Familiar/Servant. Trishula also told about her plan to bring chaos and seize the fifth stratum under her hand. The story continues with Akira knowing more about the both of them, along with new dilemma, invitation from Rodwey of [Company] and invitation from Chiron of [Flambeau Knight]. Conflict ensues between Akira, [Company] and [Chiron], Akira, Corcesca and Trishula managed to repel the [Company] but lose against Chiron, Akira lose his both arms along with his memories and applications.

Yea, who's the 2nd protag?

[amatsunagi]

12 chapters left to read! this stuff is crazy, feels like watching reasoning battle in umineko, except this more absurd.

Spoiler for 2nd protagonist:

Azuria Helzeksche, loli/shota tentacle. Her temporary name is "Colorless Mary Sue". Azuria is akin to Nina Antalk (who is also 2nd protagonist of Chrome Shelled Regios, kind of)

@Hentaiga:

_________

Also this counts as Harem.

[wuhugm]

She is like Nina ??? sorry then this one is just not for me, i don't know about you guys but Nina really get on my nerve

[amatsunagi]

@wuhugm:
:T

@dragon1412:
can you give me more detail about things that you don't like from Nina? To me the similarities between Azuria and Nina is:
- both have quality as protagonist.
- both are strong, Azuria with her innate talent of her race combined with the power of 1st Demon General, while Nina gain powerups from the fairies (as a result she is stronger than Layfon later iirc)

Personality wise, I think they are different, Nina being a stern type while Azuria is......Azuria.

Edit:
fixed little mistakes of chapter 2 and added summary for summary 3, check out previous page.

my main problem with Nina is rather simple, she is the exact stereotype of tradition shounen hero. Now the problem is not lies in whether the author is making fun of the stereotype or not, since in CSR the author have no intention to do that. Everything about Nina is outright simple and flat. From the beginning until the end of the story, especially when the part about the fairies got out, we was shown that Nina was easy to be manipulated, and she make the hardwork seem ... cheap, i mean, her power up was as random as possible and ridiculous as well. Her entire personality seem to backed up by that luck strength and in that regard make the fact that she is guiliable and easy to manipulated show even worse. And for once, we didn't knew why Nina was doing all this, all i get from her backstory that she loves the E-fairies and that's probably it. She fighting without a concrete reason, and powered her way through with luck.

Point is, her personality would be much more easier to accept if she earned all she have, but Nina getting through all of that with luck and Fairies. It make all of her actions and word seem cheap and lack substances. Her personality is also straight forward to the point where sometimes i feel like she is a 1-dimensional character.

[amatsunagi]

I see. As for Azuria, her reason to fight is to create a better world through Halbert

Spoiler:

and to retrieve her lost younger sister, even if by force

The [3] chapter deal mostly with her identity and relationship with members of Chocolate Lily, so she is quite fleshed-out. As power-up, she get stronger by fighting against stronger opponents.

____________

Edit: most of the females in this story are problematic...

Re:Zero is well-balanced works, great story with bad protagonist (reason why I read it slowly) turn into good protagonist.

[aqwzsx]

some questions :
IS this any good , is it harem ,is the story encompassing or is it more of an arc by arc (or worse day by day ) slice of life story
