Let Elder Tales begin~

A nice start so far definitely. So we meet Shiroe and Naotsugu so far as the main characters but only basic characters in the Elder Tales. It's also known that they met each other 4 years ago so I guess that makes them decent friends at least. Some nice background info so far anyways.

I like how the LN so far explains some of the most basic mechanics already like game servers, areas, and the backgrounds through colorful words. Maryele is such an amusing character already with her teasing to Naotsugu XD. I find it to be a fun start so far.

Chapter 1 finally translated. Like most gaming series, the original light novel is much more preferred, can't wait for the plot to come after the introductions~

Better written and more immersive than usual light-novels. The introduction to this world is smooth and works well for a story following "veterans". Some informations are repeated too often, it felt like useless hammering. I'm also slightly bothered by the fact the videogame interface survived as a mental picture, it works against the parallel world idea.
I found the little rescue quest largely useless (like it was added for the sake of giving a goal to the band as soon as the introductory volume) but it didn't stop the presentation so it was ok. The recrudescence of "NPC-people" and the fact humans have a far bigger range of possible interactions with them intrigued me, it sadly doesn't seem to interest the heroes or other real persons outside evil males.

Looks like japanese stories about MMORPGs need a cat (non-)player character. There will probably be no epic sci-fi story but it reminded me of //SIGN (for other reasons too: the Adventurers properties, several kind of players...) and that was a pleasure.


4/5 It made me curious about the fantasy world. I can't wait to see the people organize themselves ( in little countries?) and to follow them as they discover more "differences".
Tentative score: 6


"November 2013"... I am so behind. XD
