This series has gotten quite popular. It won a spot in Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi which is amazing. I've been making a review on each volume and this is the review of the 4th volume.

Been a while since I read this series, I liked the amount of retold information and scenes in this volume. Not too boring nor too vague, just the perfect amount. I think the author has improved on his writing style, not much of description of the place, which was hella boring in v3 if I remember correctly.

Spoiler warning!
It was said in the book that anyone with little exp. ... with the opposite sex will fall for them for the smallest help and support because they don't have any expectations of the opposite sex. There's a reason for people to love each other, which is why I found the point of their dating not being good because the have no exp. and fell for each other. I think it's completely okay because there should be a reason and it could be whatever as long as it's ethically right.

And as always, nice guys finish last. [This is unrelated to the paragraph above, incase you're confused ;) ]

Thanks for cclaw translation for the articulate translation, they never disappoint me.
If you have made it this far, thank you and you are amazing.
Stay relentless.

What (the rest omitted), is a laid-back, relaxing slice-of-life tale about a retired old hero living among a large group of girls in the countryside.


This novel is about a man who was sealed for 500 years.
After awakening he finds himself on a deferent new place and finds out that his race has been erased.

There were a nice introduction for the characters that took place in the story.
Like the MC got a nice conversations with every each girl.

The main character is really good, reminds me of Araragi Koyomi from the Monogatari series.
... Of course there were some kind of character development in kinda later volumes.

There is some dialogs I copied from the novel thought it might be interesting.


She had her whole body examined; they put a light right next to her eyes to see how they were working, they made her take medicine for the exam and asked how she was feeling, and they took just a little bit of blood from her.
“Oooh, I don’t think I can be married off anymore after having my body prodded like that…”




At the time, Nygglatho was being forced to make one of the top-ten hardest decisions of her entire life.
What should she have for breakfast—a thick-cut bacon sandwich or milk-stewed chamo beef liver?
She already knew the bacon sandwiches here were delicious. The problem was the other option. She wasn’t familiar with the chamo breed of cow. Liver varied greatly in taste from shop to shop. All in all, ordering this would be like its own little adventure.
To eat was to live. Choosing what to eat was just like choosing how to live.




“Hey, hey, Willie! What’s that? Is it food?”
Elq tugged on his sleeve. She was pointing at a stall with multicolored stones on display.
“Dunno if you’d call it food—more like utensils. Some lizardfolk and stuff like to putthose in their stomachs to break up their food instead of chewing.”
“Ooooh.”
He’d never seen her eyes glisten so visibly like that before.
“Let me just warn you, okay—don’t think about trying it yourself. The barrier between races is extremely unforgiving when it comes to biological functions.”
“Awww.”
She looked disappointed, but this was the one thing he wouldn’t let her try, no matter how much she begged. One mistake, and her stomach would be in bad shape. Any more than one mistake, and she would just die.
“Then, what’s that? What is that? Can I trythat one?”
“You know what that is. That’s a tree. That’s not gonna fit in our tummies.”
“Awww.”
She sounded disappointed, but her eyes were immediately looking around the market for the next interesting thing. It was probably best if they finished their errand quickly, before she picked up on anything too weird.


And at the end, remember that Everyone just wanted to go home.

There is a nice Youtube video I encountered about the anime actually ( the first 3 volumes)

By the way I apologise if this review made you think that this is a bad novel (even though I don't think so)
The story is so good and the world building is too good.
I love the drama and the cute moments and the ending of the final volume.....


Hope this review was helpful for you, minna san
