adventurous lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

In vol. 6, the story aptly focuses on Rishe’s sixth life. She’s visiting Bezzetoria, Galkhein’s primary port, to procure her wedding dress, while secretly trying to stop Arnold from obtaining ships that would broaden the range of his future conquest. This leads to her unearthing a whole scheme involving human trafficking, as well as a reunion with her mentor as a knight in her previous life. Now that Rishe knows she’s in love with Arnold, she’s also become more assertive with him. He’s starting to show a more playful side to him as well, but his true objective remains a mystery. For now, all that we know is he’s still wishing for war.

While it’s still a good installment to the series, this volume really suffers from repetitive writing and a great deal of telling instead of showing. There’s a disconnect between Arnold’s actions towards Rishe and how he’s always described as devoid of emotions. He’s clearly not emotionless. It’s as if the book is telling us how to feel about Arnold, both through the writing and Rishe’s perspective, which just feels so lazy to me. Similarly, Rishe’s bond with Joel in her previous life was also just told through a series of flashbacks that barely have any depth. Even his background is all laid out in expositions that sometimes can be distracting from the story. It’s a shame because Joel is an interesting character, but the writing didn’t handle him as well as it did Raul in vol. 4. Apparently both were in love with Rishe in her past lives, though it would’ve been nicer if it it was hinted in the story instead of stated in the afterword.

The romance part is great though, as always. Arnold’s reaction to seeing Rishe in her wedding dress is so precious.

The ending of this volume promises something great for the next one, but it’s going to take a while for it to come out since it’s not even released in Japan yet. Hopefully it’s going to improve.

So it wasn’t the wedding, but I feel like we make a lot of progress understanding Arnold’s motivations and thoughts.

I love how they are so much closer as a couple and show each other more affection.

This was honestly adorable to read and I’m sad I have to wait an indeterminable amount of time to find out what happens next.

I’m gonna miss being in Arnold and Rishe’s universe.

adventurous

I feel like the end wrapped up fast. How did Arnold manage to find the boat with the fog? How has no one died or rejected Rishe? Everything is working out a little too good. I understand Rishe is experience with people. I loved reading more about their growing relationship. There’s still so many mysteries. What is Arnold’s end goal?
