I'm reading through these comments as they go, so maybe someone's already answered this, but while trying not to be TOO spoilery, we've got like at least a whole arc to go before we even encounter the events that set up the latter stages of the plot... though come to think of it, this area of...
Well, based on my hazy memories of events I think we've already passed in the manga but were given more detail in the WN, I believe that the leader IS basically acting out a grudge on this subject bc he's envious of how well liked & respected the MC was within his guild (w/ a dash of paranoia...
This is a smidge spoilery & might be somewhat incorrect bc my memory is hazy for this arc of the series, but, assuming there's no significant changes between the WN & the Manga versions, the reality is that they actually have a really GOOD deal. I'll discuss it more in the text below, but I'll...
Assuming a.) I'm remembering it right & b.) there's no substantial changes to the sequence of events, the events in question occur at the tail end of the next major arc. This doesn't feel very spoiler to me, but I'll drop a spoiler tag anyway:
Well, I mean yes, that's quite a ways away. I've I perhaps misunderstood what you're trying to say here (perhaps you're saying that the anime isn't moving as fast as the manga has been so we're still multiple seasons away from even current manga content?), but the events you're discussing...
I'll also commit to this being the last bit, & I'll try to keep this brief (for me) (since as you mentioned we've completely derailed this discussion), but rather ironically the epilogue you discussed was exactly the one I wanted to read more about! So long as there's a sufficient amount of time...
This is probably bc I don't really hang out in places that don't discuss this type of stuff much (I spend most of my time in more gaming-centric circles), but you're the first person that I've directly interacted with other than myself who had even heard of Sevens. Some of it might be good...
This sounds right.
Sometime (probably after I actually finish BG3) I'll try to catch up on the WN version, bc around the time I quit reading (due to lack of chapters) the story seemed to be approaching a run of Big Reveals (& possibly the climax.) My fear is that I THINK I saw something that...
I'm, uh, not terribly familiar w/ the ins & outs of how to make full use of the functions on this board, so I'll just dump my thoughts into another spoiler tag (though this probably isn't as spoilery as the other bits we've discussed):
I'm a bit like you in that I enjoy knowing the outline of...
I've also read much further than the current arc in the WN & a lot of this is right but I feel like some of what was said here feels rather up to interpretation, & as such wasn't quite what I got from the subsequent events. It's also possible that the LN version is noticeably/significantly...
Man the anime for me is probably the best anime ADAPTATION I've ever seen. It truly makes the world feel alive & much larger than the events involving the characters we see the world through, and IMO does a very good job of making the MC's life pre-reincarnation & history of mental illness a...
Another bit I'm curious about is how they handle said Big Reveal; it largely revolves around the "(re)telling of a story" in the loosest of terms, and I could see the more visual mediums opting to tell said story via something akin to flashbacks (which I think might work better for those mediums...
Reading through all these replies armed w/ WN spoilers & I feel like I need some popcorn for the drama that's probably going to unfold coming up here after a few arcs. OFC I'm also curious if the adaptations stay as true to the remainder of the WN as they have up to this point, bc adaptational...
