He just felt more powerful, therefore he became. Where in this novel it just happened out of the blue and without external factors. Even tripping over a magical rock that suddenly gives you a power up would be better as it will at least be a reason. As for the power ups, indeed they happen a lot, but in this novel, it was one of the worst cases. Well, he left to battle all the evil aliens and it appears to be a pretty much never-ending thing, so supposedly there is at the very least a lot of them who are evil. like you read a fantasy novel, and then, bam, aliens are attacking. Oh, and the fact that the main villain of the story is an alien also was bad. I don't think I even care much about him being split, but more about the fact they are going to spend eternity fighting non-stop with the evil aliens. It's still better than many other endings I've seen. I mean, yea, it was an ending, I just have mixed feelings about it. And suddenly all lvl 300 people couldn't do anything anymore. And right before that that mini boss wipe the floor with them. Now that I think about it, I had a few major complaints about the novel:Ĭlick to expand.Well, he left to battle all the evil aliens and it appears to be a pretty much never-ending thing, so supposedly there is at the very least a lot of them who are evil. I don't even mind if the MC dies, as that is also an end. As in there need to be a logical end that ties things up. Feels like an anime that was canceled right after they defeated a mid-level boss and were supposed to fight the main villain, which we know must have happened, but never got to see. b) There is a whole race of same god-level evil aliens that they went ahead to fight. Like suddenly Naofumy became so OP, even stronger than before, and for no reason, other then "I am all spirited up now"ģ) They defeated the current local evil alien, but a) the story of Glass was just miserable and went nowhere.
Even before they got transported back to Earth. In addition, she got somehow resurrected, which was the only example of resurrection we saw in the novel.Ģ) After they lost their power, the way they powered up didn't make any sense at all. I mean come on, can't you make something better? I guess it's bit better than her be a new god-class world-destroying evil alien which randomly popped up while screaming "I will destroy your world, muahahah".
Now that I think about it, I had a few major complaints about the novel:ġ) An evil lying bitch right at the beginning of the novel turned out to be a god-class world-destroying evil alien and the main villian. And maybe the whole gang would become immortal and do the whole Guardians of the Galaxy thing together.Ĭlick to expand.To me, an ending must entail conclusion. Probably he and the other heroes will get the power to travel between the fantasy world and their Japans as much as they like. How would the LN version be different? My theory is that the author will make it an even happier ending for Naofumi and Gang. The other 3 heroes, Melty and Kiel and Fohl etc) have already died while God Naofumi was playing Guardians of the Galaxy with Raphtalia. So as far as I could see, only Raph-chan and Firo and the Dragon Emperor were immortals. So likewise, he could also return to Japan and gain the memories of the copy he had left there? Even though the copy he had left behind was long dead by the time he returned. While the main Naofumi with the godly powers traveled around the galaxy to fight evil gods.Īnd when he went back to the fantasy world for a visit, the copy he left behind simply assimilated with the main body. He sent a copy into modern Japan and enjoyed a modern romcom with Raphtalia while another copy of himself stayed in the fantasy world and continued the main story. And so he could have the best of all worlds. Each fragment is simply a copy of himself with the same personality and memory. Based on what I understand, Naofumi split himself into fragments and sent them into different worlds. And maybe make speculations about how the ending of the Light Novel version would differ from the Web Novel's version.įor starters, I want to see if everyone else is interpreting the ending like I did. So I have just read the last chapters of the web novel version of Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (or Rise of the Shield Hero).Īnd so, in the spirit of sharing, let those of you who have also read the ending join in our discussion.
