so sad to what happen to her
Translation: 5/5 [[5 star = almost all readers will enjoy. 4 star = large majority of readers will enjoy. 3 star = 50/50 of readers will enjoy. 2 star = a niche audience will enjoy. 1 star = maybe portion of niche audience will enjoy.]] [[5/5 = Minor spelling and grammar errors. 4/5 = bigger grammar errors, no loss of meaning. 3/5 = bigger grammar errors, some loss of meaning. 2/5 = difficult to read and understand. 1/5 = unreadable.]] I have dropped this, so I will not vote an official rating. I am a fan of the currently only anime season produced so far, and I wanted to read ahead. I started reading from the epilogue of V3 of this WN, where the anime leaves off. The story is about a high school MC who gets transported to a fantasy world while on a trip to the convenience store. He encounters a half-elf girl, befriends her, and tags along with her. He runs into fatal situations, and discovers that he reappears as himself several days before dying, and retains his memories. However, he is unable to tell anyone about this ability. MC is on a journey mostly to stay by his new "love interest's" side and protect her from these dangerous events, while trying to figure out why he's there and what his ability is for. There is romance, not-quite-harem, magical fantasy world, demi-humans, fantasy monsters, magic cults, martial skills and/or magic combat, and hints of political factions. No nation-building or cultivation. MC doesn't have any powers or ability progression, except the 1 mentioned. I liked the anime, but not the novel. I can't speak about the first 3 volumes, but V4 so far is incredibly boring to me. The majority of the text consists of uninteresting or redundant dialogue. An entire chapter can be 1 conversation that goes around in circles or repeats the same details over and over, without providing any new information or adding to the story. This also affects the already slow pace. As an example, the characters have already decided to go somewhere, but then they sit down and spend the entire chapter talking about going to that place. Then the next chapter is almost the same exact dialogue all over again while they sit in a carriage. The chapter after that, they arrive at their destination, hoping to find answers to some questions. But then it's another chapter of dialogue where they talk in an extremely roundabout way to reveal almost no new information. It makes me want to put the WN away and do something else. The next issue is the content of the dialogue. Most of it is the MC one-sidedly flirting with the girl, and teasing a side character, with little reciprocation. I guess it's supposed to be cute and funny, respectively, but to me it doesn't convey well and just feels creepy and douchey. Last main issue is that the MC sometimes sounds possessive and jealous. The anime also showed he is at times arrogant, angry, and immature. This seems like the start of an abusive relationship to me, which taints the romance. But, he is a teenager, and the guy dies over and over again and sometimes loses his mind while he is tortured, so maybe it's understandable? I really want to like the WN, because I enjoyed the anime. But the 1st 2 issues are huge. I don't know why this is so different from the anime's style. It could be that V4 is just a slow volume; there are no battles and MC doesn't have to use his ability, compared to the anime where MC dies all the time and has to figure out how to overcome each challenge. I'd give it 2 stars for uninteresting, long dialogue, and add half a star because there are interesting chapters in between the boring ones. Fans of the anime, like me, still want to know what happens next, so that anticipation might bump up the rating to 3 stars for some readers. However, I am dropping this because I want to spend my time reading other things. I suspect Volume 4 is just slow, so maybe if you stick around longer, it might get better. Other thoughts: This WN version is ahead of the LN. The English LN has also been licensed, so you may have some trouble finding translations. WN should still be free. I'm not sure about differences between the 2 version, but I think the TN wrote that the differences are minor.
- Harem (only 2 love interests, and one young girl who the MC dotes on who has a small crush but it's not taken seriously)
- OP MC. Not here, nope.
- Bland MC. I swear this is the last thing the MC is. Call him a prick, dumb, or a charming overdramatic, but he is not your everyday normal at all.
- Bad Love interests. This has more to do with your tastes, but I'm pretty sure their not so bland like harem love interests and stuff.
- Focused Romance. It's funny since the MC is a huge romantic, and constantly tells the FL how much he loves her. But there's no real devolopment.

This is one of those stories where romance truly is a sub-plot, or even less than that. It has a small presence in terms of overall plot, but it holds a significant part in the character's sense of self and priorities.
Alright! So I first came across Re:zero, the anime, years ago. It was interesting, but... you know those anime's that you hype over as watch but then forget the minute you finish. That was this, completely forgot Re:Zero and overtime could only remember bits and peaces, mostly the parts I didn't like. So my view of Re:zero never was that good. Not to mention back then I was obsessed with OP MC's or cunning MC's so Subaru never fit my ideal protagonist. Then one day I saw the trailer for season 2, I had long since started reading webnovels and when I heard Re:Zero was a WN I thought I'd try it out, I was curious where the story goes. I picked the WN because I really like the raw feel from it compared to LNs. Anyway I started reading it, from the beginning, and filling up the not yet trasnlated arc 2 and 3 by reading the LN of those arcs, then continued 4, 5, and halfway through 6. So, what do I have to say about the experience you ask? I. was. wrong. It's amazing. First thing that s**ked me in was the writing style, it was so... quirky (?). Not sure if that's the right word, but It felt oddly pleasant. The inner thoughts, and actions of subaru were actually human. They were sarcastic, funny, overdramatic. And the deeper the story got, the more depth Subaru got.Even though they both technically have mutual feelings. This is mostly because the innocence of the fl, she doesn't understand romantic love, so even though she loves Subaru, she doesn't undertsand what it means and usually writes it off.
When Subaru lost his memories I was surprised by the difference, it was arc 1 subaru and despite the similar words. There was a different vibe, I never realized how mature, and deep a character Subaru had become until that moment.
Also Julius's devolopment in arc 6, Garfiel's in Arc 4, Crusch and Ferris, Otto, Meili (I have no idea why I like her but I do), Ram, and most of all... beako, so adorable.
