  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This is the first light novel I've ever read and I decided to pick it up after watching the first season of the anime, wondering what I was missing out on that the anime might not have included. Did I miss out on things in the first volume? Not really, but I still enjoyed viewing the events in a different media. 

As a pro, Re: Zero has a great concept and I'm mostly intrigued by the effects that constantly dying and reliving scenarios will have on Subaru's psyche, but as a con the writing was a bit bland and awkward at times which took some getting used to. 

I'm definitely going to continue the series and hopefully I'll be able to increase the rating I give it since it has so much potential to be great!
