Yay time for the revolutionary plot twist that nobody totally saw coming and wasn't definitely spelt to us earlier, thus is the price of being terminally online. Lucky for some of us, we can't read

MC spoils it the first time Vernell has that dark magic attack.

honestly I'm curious as to how this will be solved. I'm dumb so I can't really figure out a way to end the whole saint-witch cycle thing.

thanks for the chapter!

For those wanting to know what are witch and saints

Spoiler

It's rather long and complicated but to sum it up, Witches are former saints who have their soul corrupted by the witch they kill. It is an endless cycle of Saints turning into witch (Except the first saint but that's another story)

...this scene is pretty bland when it's told from a 3rd person POV huh? Or more like the entire story tbh...
Goes to show how brilliant the writing in the original novel was ig.

YAY the prelude of the prelude to the saddist scene is soon to come.

Someone already linked it's Novel Updates link. Highly recommend it!

More of the side stories are being written after the stories end, so check back periodically even after you finish. They are very entertaining.

I still am in shock how the story/side stories have gotten me to enjoy a character like supple ment.

You are not dumb, it's quite a conundrum, particularly as more of the past of other saints/witches are revealed.

I think its fine, it's more that this is like a speedrun of the story without many pages/panels.

Certainly there is some stuff that is lost when adapting a introspective type story to one like manga(or any book for that matter). But there are countless examples of it being done really well. It's a simple case of different mediums having different things they do really well, and all mediums depending on execution.

For the web novel version, you can check on https://www.novelupdates.com/series/fake-saint-of-the-year/

Though there's also the LN version which is a more polished version of the WN with some extra story and revision (the manga most likely follow this version). It's completed with 4 volume, which has been officially licensed by J-Novel. Currently volume 1 & 2 is already released whil volume 3 will be released next week (January 18th) and Volume 4 at March 4th.

As seen in the Harry Potter movies, or the Fate Stay Night anime adaptations.

Harry is much more passive in the movies, since most of his sarcarm and anger is kept inside his head. There are a few scenes, but not enough.

And Shirou is much less... "reasonable" without his dialogue showing all his survivor's guilt. For example, he did not just refuse being saved by Archer in UBW because he disliked him in the visual novel, he blamed himself for the whole situation and thus did not want Archer to get involved.

Seems to me like the Witch being killed by the Saint is kinda important. Since only they can hurt the other and all.
And no matter what Elrise can fake being a Saint, but can't hurt the others no matter what.

I think the Witch's energy that was gathered will be the key, though. Both from the assassin, from not long ago, and from the amulet she gave Vernel when he was young to protect him from that same energy. Maybe she will weaponize it, since it is the Witch's own energy it probably can hurt her.

Time to drop the bomb on the other characters (not the readers, who should be already in the know at this point). Elrise still has another big bomb under wraps though: the true current saint is actually Eterna. I kinda wonder if that's also gonna be revealed to others at some point, though I'm sure Elrise is not going to willingly reveal that vital secret under any circumstance.

 

[Magicmist]

It's time for the major reveal!!!
