    Possibly the best Japanese novel I have read. Not only did it pave the wave for many novels that came after it but it still holds up well even today. While this book is partially “wow look at mc do cool thing he’s so strong” it’s also much more then that. Sometimes we don’t see the mc for large portions of time to add depth to the side characters to the point where you hope that they might stand a chance against mc. This novel is also remarkably well at writing smart characters. There are a lot of situations where I think “wow I would not have thought to do that” and it’s usually not even the mc that does these things. I am rambling on but good novel you should read

    I was expecting 1k caps, but that's it? And it's still marked as green on the site, but comments from months ago say about volumes being released, eh... Well, I loved the anime, I'll read it someday and see if it was actually finished.

      It's a light novel, so it's book length chapters

        Each chapter length is similar to mother of learning?

    The author wants to finish volume 17 and 18 at the same time. Considering how long it took him to finish 15 and 16 (they were originally meant to be one volume), he will probably release them in a year from now on. Maybe we will hear about some news on his progress when the movie airs, similar to when season 4 dropped with volume 15 and 16. Fingers crossed guys.

      its not, he dropped the series because of reddit pirating. I think 2 volumes are still coming out though. Nothing after tho.

        It was planned to end at these last 2 novels even from the start, he wanted to have 16 volumes but the 2 parters only count as 1 in this original plan

        You can check on any of your local cinemas if they stream this movie. If that’s unfortunately not the case, you would need to wait for a bit longer before you can watch it online on pirate sites. Though, with an Crunchyroll Account, you could watch it immediately and legally as well.
