onetrooluff 's review for:

Goblin Slayer, Vol. 1 by Kumo Kagyu
3.0

Didn't really know what to expect with this. I do like picking up Japanese light novels that have been translated - in part just to help promote that it's being done. This one read like a very typical fantasy anime, one that is pretty dang gory, and also pretty fanservicey. (I wouldn't be likely to watch an anime like that, but I guess it was less offensive to me in prose, somehow?)

It took a while to get used to the weird trope that the characters are all just named whatever their job is - Cow Girl, Guild Girl, Goblin Slayer, Priestess - and nothing more. I did like the book, though, and would read another volume.
