I actually had some small hope that Ariel would become part of Rudeus' harem, but that wish didn't come to fruition. All the apostles were defeated, and Ariel was able to become king. Luckily Luke was able to resist the temptations of Hitogami at the last minute. I also fell in love with Sylphy again this volume, seeing that she knows she'll never be able to catch up to Rudeus and Eris in terms of strength, so she resolves to become the best housewife her husband can be proud of. I would say she's plenty strong (seeing that she was one of the top of the academy before Rudeus came), it's a shame that there are better talents around her. Another visit to Paul's grave, Rudeus has resolved to be even stronger, now to see what Orsted's and Hitogami's next plan of action will be.

As you said, Sylphy became even more awesome this volume and that already felt impossible to start with. The fighting in this volume was pretty fun, it escalated quickly when the sword god showed up but she was totally trashed by orsted lolol.

Rudeus felt a bit weak/lackluster again but that is only looking at it from a combat-perspective, his character development is going well and he really seems to care a lot about his 3 wifes which is great.

A lot of heartwarming moments in this volume but I am not great with words so I won't bother mentioning all of em. Whatever the case this was a very nice volume and even though I read it really slow compared to previous volumes I enjoyed the heck out of it.

On topic.
I'm slightly disappointed that the Water God was Fodderized.
Sure it was Orstred she was facing, But the way she quickly got eliminated as a threat is disappointing in its own way.

I mean it was necessary to kill her immediately as explained but still..Felt like there's not much resistance.

I know what you mean,but Reida did mention that she had fought Orsted before and that he "let her go in the past".I think Orsted knew exactly what she was capable of like her every technique and etc.Even more so if we consider Orsted's previous timelines.

I think it was also mentioned that she was definitely below Gull Farion,so her getting taken out easily, now that I look back on it shoudn't have been that surprising.

Yeah but I'm ignoring all those explanations in mind and personally think that it was just a disappoint if you look at it from another angle. ;c

Also about while w'ere on the topic of Gull Farion.

I kind Feel Really bad for Sylphy.She is capable of doing so much more she has lot of skill and talent and I think if she Trained for 1 or 2 Years Just Learning Swords or Magic she could really catch up to Rudeus and Eris in terms of strength.She never had a Good Teacher well her Sword Teacher was Luke who was really weak but she was able to Wear Fighting Spirit and She was able to use Water Saint Magic at first tried and also she is a just as talent as Rudeus in term of magic.

Strength as in Actual strength in sword fighting or generally Fighting prowess?
Well certainly Sylphy is a Genius(Learning King/Emperor magic skill in a short time is already a big biiiig achievement on its own) Also she's training everyday with magic as far as I'm aware and hit a bottleneck due to no one is capable of teaching them new magic anymore
I don't think Sylphy is that good in the Sword category. She's fully a Mage type as far as I'm aware.

That and they can certainly hold their own but Rudeus is just way way over their league with his Laplace factor tbh.

Reida got demolished.. Wahahaha million cheers for Orsted!!! XD

So Eris is overwhelmingly strong 1v1 but she is very weak in group battles aka 3P. XD
Maybe next time.

Rudeus, training again... I hope this time he trains his healing abilities more... God rank atleast, so the threat of magic stone disease to his family will go away... Hoping... And a possibility of 4P in the future? XD

I didn't like v18 that much, thought we'd get vs Man God action and more of Orsted, but instead we got Linia and Pursena :(. Unfortunately no story progress in this volume. The only thing I liked were the two chapters at the end about Julie, it was great to read something where she plays a role again, she was a bit lost in the story and hardly played a role, so I was surprised that the chapter got not just one illustration, but two.

LN 18

Super underwhelming volume

RUDUES DOES NOT LOOK 20 IN THE COVER.

First chapter about Angie and Pham got me excited but then boom. Stupid Linia arc.

Only good thing was the Julie LN-only part. Cute that she made a Ariel figurine

Never considered Shirone would be a MG vs DG conflict arc.. considering Zanoba didn't die in Oldeus timeline.. I guess it either didn't happen or he came back to Sharia safely.

Hopefully some good food next volume.

Anyone that wonders wtf is this above all about, the contents of WN vol 16 = LN Vol.17, but I guess further in the past the Asura arc was WN vol18?!
Whatever, now this page should only be used for the volume that comes after SoL style.

---------------------


I was afraid this volume was gonna take a long time to read, and this was also the first new volume and piece of story I had read from the series for the longest time (since I eventually halted the WN and just waited for the LN to finish).
Initially, I read the LN till vol8-9, then caught up and had to read the WN, which I did till WN vol17 or 18 (Asura royal fight), I will come back again to the series to read from LN vol.10, up to now.
So I spend a lot of time backtracking in a sense, the LN is just more polished and I wanted that to be the way to ultimately experience it.

So volume 18 was new story content in like 3-4 years of reading the series, and I read it easily enough, nothing very exciting happened, but there were enough new developments to either Rudeous powers, his position, or his family, so things were still interesting, FOR the most part, I had to read those side adventures faster cuz I was getting a bit bored of the LN focusing on newly introduced side characters that would most likely never appear again.

It was still an enjoyable volume and in particular I liked the development we got for Julliette, adorable to see, and I liked seeing the Linia and Pursena again, yes they can be a bit too full of themselves at times, but I never truly wanted to see them gone, they are part of Rudy's circle of friends and help to build the comedy of the show.
In particular, the scene with Aisha and Linia, and the sunglasses, behaving like underworld bosses, was too hilarious, I really wanna see that animated!

This volume also builds the next one nicely, and after this ends, I immediatly started reading volume 19!
