The third Ningen Fushin novel unsurprisingly has a bit of a focus on the priest. More surprising is that it’s pretty much entirely focused on story/character development without any hobby-based sidetracking, leaving me cautiously optimistic for future installments.
Like the first, the second Rebuild World volume is split into two books (English titles: Users of the Old Domain & Revengeware). Both are very heavy on action while not really doing much to advance toward the presumed end goal, although we do get confirmation that Alpha’s goal will be detrimental to a large number of people along with evidence she’s not the only one working toward it.
So this volume is mostly about providing an excuse to boost the protagonist’s power/resources while introducing a secondary political background plotline that will almost certainly cause complications down the line.
