So, in a few words: I hate every person who will be able to read everything in one go once the series will be finished.
The cliff isn't really a cliff, but damn it makes you want to read the next volume. Anyway, really good, as usual. Kikuchi-san is still a dangerous weapon who melts my heart each time she speaks (and Tomozaki's description of her every movements in a holy and fantasy way doesn't help) Mizusawa is still so cool, like Tomozaki said, if I was a girl I would fall so easily. Mimimi becomes even more endearing, but my (melted) heart is still with Kikuchi-san. Now I need to jump from a roof, hope I'll fall into coma and wake up in a few years.

As for me, taking it slowwwly and savoring that goodness. Just finished Chapter 2, which I think is a good high note to stop at for now.
As a side-effect of having had to explore Volume 1 in much detail, it's quite interesting to note the references to a few things in Volume 1 that are popping up in Volume 6 - though I suppose they're also references to the manga by this point. |

Great volume to be the mid-point of this great series, really. The right amount of lightheartedness needed after the more serious volumes 4 and 5.
Since someone reminded me about it, just thought I'd share that the 月刊ガガガチャンネル vol.83 video is now available: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1527479371 Jaku-chara stuff starts at 43:40. Potential minor spoilers for anyone who hasn't read the series. |

Also, didn't catch on to this before, but he also appears with Fly on Gagaga Channel 72! (Which was around the time that Volume 4 was published, I think.) Part 2 is particularly full of explanations to do with the characters and illustrations (e.g. there's a segment on Kikuchi-san scenes).
P.S. Toranoana Mimimi SS finally arrived today! |

If anyone wants to hear more 'voiced' lines from the novel, there's also a bit of that towards the end of this interview with the author:

The translations have gotten to the end of the LN1. I actually read the raw a few weeks back because at the time the translations were so slow but now it ended fast, which was nice. Anyway, given that I enjoyed LN1 and the positive reactions here, I'm curious about how the rest of the series plays out.
So basically - for LN2 and later, what it the style/nature of the series? Does it change much from LN1 overall? Note, I'm not asking about the plot at all. I presume it doesn't turn into the same old harem rom-com series we see all over the place, otherwise it wouldn't be getting such a positive reaction. |

Eh what can I say, it gets even better after Volume 1 (in my humble completely unbiased opinion).
Anyway, as everyone will know by now, Volume 6.5 due for release on 18th October and will be a collection of stories (relating to past incidents) written from the POV of different characters. Looks like it's going to be a relatively short one at only 312 pages. I wonder who we'll get for cover illustration. Spoiler for Volume 6.5 Description (from Amazon, in Japanese):
First POV listed there sounds like it should be very interesting, especially I haven't been able to get hold of the Lvl. 99 SS yet. |

If I had more spare time I'd probably try to read the rest of the series. Fortunately, the translator is carrying on so I'm reading those instead. So far so good. To put it in gaming terms, for the MC to keep growing he has to continue grinding the good exp areas that he's familiar with (keep on working the basics) and also as he levels up and gains more skills he should challenge appropriate new areas and new monsters that he couldn't before (needs to spend a decent proportion of his time out of his comfort zone). So far (in the translations) the author is delivering nicely. I'm also glad to see that he's not just interacting with pretty girls too - one worry I'd had in LN1 is that all the other guys felt like "antagonists" and all the girls felt like "capture targets" which gave it a "harem" feel, so LN2 feels better already. |
