Thx for the TL ❤️
This series really suffers from the long waits between chapters. Also knowing what's next makes this so much harder to read atm, might have to shelve this until a good amount of chapters build up

So fun reading him name all the lakes, knowing what will happen.

His memories are a bit at odds with how he actually treated her.

The smile and the slap. Perfect.

This is what determination and patience looks like.

He's powerful, but nothing compared to her.

There's no betrayal here. She was never on his side, and that's all on him.

She's not defenceless. She has the best defence. A great swordsman with an anti-magical sword.

is it just me or does this feel like a really cheap resolution to an otherwise great story
In what way? I think this particular arc is one of the weakest, and the resolution was foreshadowed. The light novel had a bit more about the lakes, so they were more present in the story, but they're not completely erased in the manga.

Now those small “missing” patches that the anime made it feel rushed are making more sense. Thanks for the TL.
I've not seen the anime, but I've read the LN, so for me it's more of the reversed experience.

TBH, the anime cut a LOT of material which would be extremely relevant to the second half of the story. It only covered essentially part 1. I highly recommend giving the LNs a read.

"four hundred years is a long time"
"During the first four hundred years, I could barely hold a proper conversation..."

wait, what?
so how many 'four hundred years' did she live again?
Imagine that time travel is involved and she has done the 400 years multiple times?

This really feels like The Author wrote him self against a wall and didn't know how to actually deal with the consequences.
I can't imagine being an author struck with an idea big enough to carry a story, and then losing way or not knowing how to finish while editor-san is jumping on your neck to steer a story in an unnatural direction, making the matter of properly delivering in service of that story neigh impossible. Seems like a very hard business to be in if you've any scruples.

What a roundabout way. Why didn't she just tell Oscar of her plan?
Yep, it's too obvious that she's not on Lanark's side, so I don't get why she won't just tell Oscar from the beginning.

I'm pretty sure there's a TVTrope page for this due to how often I see it in other media, but I still hate every time I encounter the trope.
