| THIS IS A NOVEL ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS VOLUME. ---------------------------------------- What a satisfying end. Not just because of the rescue but because of that punch. A new volume a new hero to hate. Last volume it was Hiroaki and this time it's Takahisa. Unable to accept the fact that Miharu likes Rio instead of him he becomes emotionally unstable and attempts to kidnap her. He kinda reminds me of Amanogawa Kouki. Even Aki, after getting to know about Rio's past life goes into an unstable state of mind and helps with the kidnapping. I don't have any hope for Takahisa but I want Aki to at least feel sorry for her actions. Rio now holds the title of an honorary knight and gets to know the aristocratic harem members heroines better There is some character development in this volume but honestly Rio won't change that much until he gets his revenge. Thank God the author didn't go with the WN route in this arc. That would've made me close to dropping this novel. I wanna see the aftermath of the kidnapping attempt and the reactions of those involved |
| Thank god for that well deserve punch at the last scene. Takahisa was ok-ish at first but became extremely annoying on the later chapters. I kinda feel sorry for princess Liliana having to deal with a destructive and egoistic prick. That random betrayal by Aki kinda suprised me, I didnt expect that to happend at all. I do want her to be saved, but she deserve at least a slap for colluding with Takehisa Satsuki prove to be the best girl in this volume, followed by Miharu. although I wish for more screen time for Liselotte and Celia Im still waiting for Christina to join the harem (at least there progress on that department) -I dont really read WN, whats the difference between the Ln and Wn on this arc? |

| Volume 10 Discussion: Wonderful main cover. Slowly Miharu is getting Haruto to open up, such an adorable cover. This volume can be considered a stepping stone for the series but like the first big hurdle is now over with, everyone is reunited. Liselotte had little screentime this volume, but I loved her interaction with Rio when they danced (and she referring to the side story of vol8), they are a major ship for me for sure, such a nice chemistry~~ Christina's thanking Rio like that is the culmination of development off-screen for her character, which we will get to see better further ahead, but it was such a surprising scene and, an outstanding illustration for it too, now more than ever I want both sisters on Haruto's harem, and I know I will get my wish too~~ In that regard, starting volume 12, absolute BLAST... The pouting face Satsuki made when she was dancing with Rio, while on such a hot but cool outfit made for a really charming illustration. She is used to having things under her control, so her whole personality when faced with the erratic nature of Rio multiple times this arc, is just some of my favorite reading! It was good to see Miharu getting more intimate with Rio, and he smiling for her like that the end, such a bliss. But Earth-wise Satsuki just stoles the show, her interactions with Rio show us another side of her, a more cute, pure, and innocent maiden that will shine bright when in love. I can't get enough of Rio's interactions with the girls in this series, it results in some of the most amusing scenes you can have while reading this, worth the price of admission alone. This Satsuki illustration was just ADORABLE! She and Rio fighting to better convey their emotions was also great, and it resulted in that adorable smile she gives in the end, ADORABLE!! Then it is time for the volume to make you feel rather bitter. Takatrash was the very worst, making justice for his name, he is unable to put himself in another shoes and realize how it would feel, that punch breaking his nose at the end was great! Aki is a big disappointment, she previously showed scenes where we could see she was not a stable person, and she finally explodes, with the right push from her SOO GREAT AND WONDERFULL, FAKE older brother: Takatrash. Masato otherwise proves himself to be way more noble and sincere than his other siblings, his development is refreshing and pays off here. Poor Liliana. The final scene with Rio calling Miharu Mii-chan was genuinely warming to see, and how she looks, seeing stuff such innocence on his face, it probably felt like she time traveled to when they were children, and this shows that no matter how vile Rio may have to get in the future, Haruto will always be a part of him, and it is ok for him to have people we can live, it is okay to share their happiness. It will be fine no matter what, Aisha's work from the shadows as a wingman for building this harem is to be applauded, as soon as she truly came into the world, that support was set in motion. Miharu and Haruto would have met a much bitter ending if not for her support. While less meaningful, this volume's side stories were something. Pervert Celia with the blanket, unable to control her inner desires, lovely :3 And the return to the alternative setting with everyone on earth was tops, Satsuki hugging his arm as revenge soo cute, their chemistry together is amazing, Haruto is such a tease, many times unwaringly, but then Satsuki has some spine herself and can strike back in adorable ways. (Satsuki colored illustration at the end TOPs) The harem for this series has to be one of my favorites, it was the main reason I wanted to read the LN, after seeing the anime and I don't regret it one bit. Many girls here I'm fond of, and there is hardly a dull heroine (even Flora managed to grab my attention), Christina appeared again recently and is already climbing high on my list too... Girls like Cosette or Chloe I hardly consider harem material though, but when I already have more than 5 girls I look forward to seeing how they develop along Rio... Mod edit: Title adjusted. |

| Overall so far reading this LN, and having read so much at such a quick pace and short time, its strongest point, as I expected is the harem cast. It has only grown bigger and better, most girls are very enjoyable to see interacting with Rio, and they have their distinct quirks and personalities, so reading for the romantic bits is very amusing. Someone with enough experience picking this series up has to expect cliches and overuse of tropes, but I like and WANT THEM in the right doses, the writer is successful in executing them, for the most part. I like the many descriptions of how badass the MC is behaving or how surprising this or that are, this LN is pure wish-fulfillment done right, the only bits that annoy me a bit more are the food descriptions (people overpraising his cooking skills get a bit tedious when it is done multiple times, every single volume), and how borderline retarded it can be that Haruto is talented in almost everything. I feel it is a bit too much, and characters commented on it before and his reply was along the lines, "I'm just a jack of all trades and master of none", EXCEPT he is a master of them all! I do feel that is a bit too much, and this might be enough to turn people away, but IMO this LN still works because of how the writer approaches Rio, his background, and his goals, you feel he is NOT completely flawless, he can do almost everything by himself and he prefers that, but after his healing time with dear Celia-sensei (<3), starts to rely more on others, at least to be around him and share some of his burdens. What volumes 7-10 have been doing is tremendous and I appreciate the development, he has gotten and want to see where it will lead (despite already knowing major key points for that). The MC is far from boring, he is still kinda relatable, and I really want to see him being able to rest his past one day, and grow more accepting of his worth and the appreciation those near him have. It helps that I feel the characters are rather good, again, I love the harem casting for this series. But to add to that, how the story plays out, there are tons of characters and it feels everything that Haruto has done is meaningful in a way, and that most events, even things from the very first volume play later on again. The world-building the LN achieves, along with the political scheme makes the story also entertaining, it is not perfect, but I have read too many LNs that share similar traits (being easy and fun to read and having a good harem), but then the plot gets rather lost at some point, there is not much weight to what happened in previous volumes. At least not at the same weight Seiren Gensouki achieves, almost always after finishing a volume for this series, I'm engaged in knowing what happens next, I have to praise how the writer constructed the lore and connected the story, laid everything out, things that at first glance are irrelevant play huge later on, this keeps me reading and always waiting to see how characters would react next. Previously my favorites were Celia and Aisha, with some adoration for Liselotte through there (Miharu has some moments too), but after reading volumes 9-11, I have to add Satsuki and Christina to that list, and it is not like Flora or the spirit folk girls are trash either (and Latifa is a rather cute imouto), the quality of the harem is high, and I don't mind if they fawn for the MC too much, because these girls still have their very distinctive personality to them, then don't feel like mindless puppets. It helps that the PoV changes tons and we get tons of insight into how the girls think, I have been very engrossed in reading Christina's inner thoughts, to see how much she developed and changed from her first meeting with Rio. The length of the series plays a role here, it feels like an absolute journey thus far, with a lot more to go, and reminiscing about earlier parts of the series is a blast. Christina would not be an interesting character if she had not had such a past with Rio, and her sister, and when she is reminiscing everything (also on vol 12), I also get emotional. Honestly what a gem of a series this is so far, "humble beginnings", but it has ambition and the writer manages to make you care for the characters, make the plot interesting and complex enough, making all volumes matter, Spirit Chronicles is the textbook example of what I want for a longer series such as this, just wonderfull~~ If I had to score everything so far, it would be about 8.8/10 = 9, and I never expected it to get this good (and I'm being a bit conservative with the score too, not letting my emotional side score it too highly). The score of the LN here on MAL is far too low, it should at least be around low 8.00s, also almost no engagement for this forum, but I guess that is because most people discuss it right away as it comes out here: https://forums.j-novel.club/category/23/seirei-gensouki-spirit-chronicles?lang=pt-PT&page=2 I will repeat myself, but what a lovely surprise this series has been, I started reading this 13 days ago, shortly after finishing the anime, progressing this much and not feeling burnout, wanting to devour more... HIGH PRAISE. |
