After waiting for like half a year thinking this guy finally meet the king, but no, he's back to the school life again

Thinking about applications of magic is always a good idea. Oftentimes there are major areas where magic should be used but isn't, because the author didn't think that far.

"The princess was selfish again," is such a convenient excuse.

Lexia is really helping Luna's case, and both of them are really helping MC's case. They're so good at choosing words.

I like how Luna's keeping calm during all this, though.

And then she stole the lead.

Thank you for the translation.

this is why i read ahead, that reminds me i still need to read ln volume 11

I'm convinced the author is purposely teasing us with Yuuya actually doing anything in the fantasy world. Saves the princess? Gotta go to school. Plans a to go? Can't, got a school trip. Finally actually going to the capital? Assassin appears and delays the trip just long enough for him to need to go back to school. I really like this series but holy shit if this isn't getting tiring

Although I think the MC himself is a bit dense and flat... I also feel there was (a wasted) opportunity to develop his character given his upbringing of being trod upon.

And by that I mean: being blind -- or rather, not caring -- about appearances or social bias... "normalcy" / Japanese concept of "face" (not literal body part)... since he himself was beaten down for it. Either disabused, or perhaps inoculated/bitter to their advances.

• i.e. MC: "People treated me like crap before, so I will be a bit more mature and careful in judging people who are nice to me only now, going forward." (<= Author: "NOPE.")
• Instead we got: dense MC, "is this a butterfly? women are attracted to me?" typical JP shonen trope. Which I'm a bit repulsed by, speaking as literary critic.

The setup could have been used to make him a deeper character, instead it made him shallower. I'm rooting for the asassin, simply because she's a bit of a mirror of MC of "having a past she didn't want, but has to move forward carrying" ...but I am guessing author of original WN will follow the same shallow development they did for MC's past.

Any WN readers want to spoil us, how that plot thread goes? (Rather, me?)

Edit: I went and skimmed the translated LN where this ends (Volume 3, Chapter 1, Part 2).

• And holy crap, it's terrible. MC is insufferable, and has negative IQ. Manga author did a hell of a (good) job adapting this nonsense, focusing on the cute heroines instead. And completely ignoring/skipping over MC's braindead internal monologues.
• Pretty damning single-sentence summary from one review, if you've read Shinka no Mi (WN):
  
  "The same kind of hero worked for the author in Shinka No Mi/Fruit of evolution because it didn't treat itself seriously and relied on comedy. But IseLeve wants to be a serious novel, with serious topics and serious situations."
  "Unfortunately it relies on MC, who heals everyone with the power of kindness (and densness), so nothing ever gets properly explored."
  
  Oof.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and day is ruined. On the flipside, I found a neat webnovel by the wayside Nyx was translating. May give that a read instead to clear the aftertaste.

As chapter go by that first hit of self insert fantasy is fading and I am getting less interested and more annoyed with each chapter

Providing they put actual animation in it this time instead of that slideshow of well-drawn still images. Not that I would have much hope, given that works like Record of Ragnarok pulled the slideshow method off across 2 seasons and people still tuned in...

I wish Yuuya would get stronger in terms of self confidence as the story progresses. Alas, we’ll have to wait and see.

This has an anime? I didn't even know.

I rarely watch anime now, got tired of most of them just being incomplete manga ads.

this is dumb

Thanks for the update !

personally I find it refreshing like normally these kinds of manga go with the mc just diving Into this wild new world and this guys like na I got class

[Mageos]

thank you for the chapter

 

[MegumemePoi]

Season 1 anime was a bit rushed in the end, at least I can enjoy the slow pace and the missed details in the manga, or better yet the LN, but then again seeing it come to life in the manga is more fun then wall of text.

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼❤️

As tempting as it must have been for Yuuya to deny the fact that Luna was the assassin, I'm pleased to see that Lexia's impulsive honesty won the day. There is something refreshing about airing out dirty laundry sooner rather than later and dealing with whatever consequences occur up front, rather than letting it fester and having to worry constantly about who might learn the truth some other way and what they'll do when they do.
