There isn't more? I thought where the anime ends is just the end of this arc.
tbh that was just my impression. it feels that way. I also didn't watch the anime so no idea what happened there.

I have the feeling I pretty much always do when reading this - it's pretty interesting even if a bit convoluted and over the top (which I don't mind), but it would be better if it was like half the length :p People writing this have no idea what "brevity" is, they're droning on about this shit for a couple of chapters already, if I wanted a novel I would read one.

if they can glorify everything for the sake of the other, just bring back the idiot brother and make him king. D:

A whole new chapter and I'm still not feeling any more happy or impressed where this seems to be headed...

Still gonna read the next one though lol
My thoughts exactly lol, like I'm gonna read to the end but I just don't care about this whole plot line. All this bs just to probably end up not doing anything

There's absolutely no logic in this argumentation. As if having an all-powerful King displaying to those greedy nobles what they could have if they keep the traditions or even go back to the "old ways" would convince any of them to accept the end of magic as they know it. She could only reign as a tyrant and suppress them with sheer power, force them to accept change.

Where the hell is my gex chapter, 5 year ass anniversary and no gex chapter are you serious?
december.
The anime ends at about book 3(?).
it gets a third of the way into book 3, then montages the rest. in terms of wordcount its half, but in terms of events its basically the start of the book.
The real revolution ought to be ending the royalty and nobility entirely.
the quick answer is the socioeconomics of the kingdom cant move to a democratic constitutional format at the time the novels primarily cover. Anis tried and it failed. there isnt any general education to build the foundation for it.
Anis wants to be queen (for some duty-driven value of 'want'); Euphie wants to be queen (for ditto). They can't both be queen (or can they???) so one's gonna lose.
last few chapters were absolutely pisspoor in this. Annisophia has a massive impostor syndrome from being Isekai'd. She wants to be the princess, she wants to be a good girl for mom and dad. Euphelia is literally trying to claim what Anis feels is necessary to validate her own existence. being a lesbian witch isnt relevant to the need to validate that she is her parent's little girl.
Is that something from the LNs cause if not that's a bit of a reach.
Lumi's discussion here happens WAY later.

if you interpreted my comment in that way then it was poorly worded of me, yes, I do know the story keeps going especially since the trend with modern anime has been to cut as much as possible to end on a high note from the original story on the least amount of episodes possible (usually 12) but still the point I was making is that Euphie getting saddled with immortality, and being fated to forget everything and everyone from her life as a human, fated to see everyone she loves and cares for wither away and die of old age isn't exactly my idea of a great solution for the situation they found themselves in.
As far as I remember Anis also becomes an immortal, so basically its a good thing that Euphie do this so they can be together forever

Its kind of funny how many mangas i have read where royalty was fighting agains noblity to empower commoners and bring (some level of) comsidering how that has pretty much never happened historically. Obviously royalty and nobility fighting over power is common but never with the goal of empowering commoners (though sometimes it was a byproduct of it)

Empower commoners maybe not, or pretty rarely. Royalty invoking commoners as a tool against the nobility, that is pretty common. Nobles are more likely to be directly oppressing commoners. Nobles care about keeping serfs on their estates, while the king doesn't care where commoners move within the kingdom. So there is some natural alignment.

Also, not exactly monarchy, but ancient Athens did have key episodes of a powerful leader, even a 'tyrant', pushing through democratic reforms.

You know the source material is a series of novels, right

Correct. Don't know if the manga will gamely keep going, or end.

In Japanese, is a Queen always less than a King? And so they keep talking about becoming the King rather than the Queen like Victoria or Elizabeth?

It's Japanese, so the text would be using 'ou' (king/monarch, possibly less male-gendered than 'king' in English) or 'jo-ou' (woman-king, aka queen). Checking the raws, e.g. page 24 "never want to be king", they are using 'ou'.
A translator might have blindly used the literal meaning, 'king', or made a conscious choice that since they're talking about the actual ruler position, it's better to use king and not genderize it. I don't know the genderedness implications in Japanese.

Twelve Kingdoms translation had a similar problem to solve, which Eugene Woodbury sometimes dodged by e.g. translating Kei-ou as the Royal Kei or the Imperial Kei. Conscious in that case; I forget if he ever talked about his choice.

tldr: Japanese does have words for 'queen'; I don't know all the connotations (like ruling queen vs. just a consort); the mangaka chose to not use those words: Anis and Euphie are fighting over who becomes 'ou'; translator then also went with 'king'.
