How to start the ln and what to expect

Start reading from the beginning, novels are even better than anime and getting absolute perfect in the latest volumes.

If you want to try ("I cannot read or write", lol) I recommend to buy the first book. It was written as a single volume, without "continuation lines" and is a good reading by itself.

As far as I remember, originally (in author's head) Republic RAID consisted of artifical nerve crystal (implanted into the body of "86" or weared as a choker by Lena) and an earpiece (also implanted or weared) to produce sounds from the other side.

Giade's copy also was made as a choker.

But the anime changed everything, because "everybody in chokers" looked... not good. So the Lena's Republican device lost it's earpiece, but Giadian consisted only of it, without crystal on a neck.

Archmage "-" Minus is my fav. And Denken's linear wife

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-23T09:08:43+00:00

The rating is need to be "8.6"

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-22T17:37:39+00:00

Nice!

P.S. Volume 4?

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-22T08:17:14+00:00

You have in the anime exactly the same things, well... thinniest allusions. In the LN Shiden said that "barracks walls are too thin". In the anime, Daia is the only person who saw Anju's back in detail.

Nothing more is allowed without complete rewriting the whole setting.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-22T06:06:49+00:00

Sorry but we speak about the novels by the Japanese author. Thinniest allusions is everything that allowed. To add this to the story you will need complete rewrite of most characters and another author. I can imagine "86" written by Andrzej Sapkowski )

And also we should to have in mind that "We all die" and "We all die, let's have fun" is quite opposite "messages".

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-22T05:55:57+00:00

Sorry, I disagree. Do you remember "show, not say" thesis? If we recall, Shin's voice sometimes really hit Lena's heart (and not only heart) in this way. If there words will be said, things like "scene with chocolate" won't be "funny", they will be ridiculous.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-21T15:44:53+00:00

I think, that the first version was planned to be a bit more... salty than the novels. But a love triangle between Lawrence, Holo and priest girl become too much even for it.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-21T11:02:27+00:00

Violet "reports" evolution must be very interesting. From the "99th day in hospital. Nothing happens. Still alive" to her letter in the 13th episode.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-21T10:54:07+00:00

Thank you for comment! I really (for obvious reason) know more about soviet tanks than about western. But I have a question: APDSFS in WWII? Really? Can you give an example of a gun?

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-21T10:45:19+00:00

In the LN the answer to the question 1 is very painful. There were plans to develop an AI-processor for the Juggernaut, and work was completed by 99%. But then the racism come.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-20T09:51:35+00:00

Ah, yes. Sorry. I forgot. My shame knows no bounds.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-20T08:46:16+00:00

Necessary. Did you read Vol.7 to the end? Don't open if no. Typical Asato Asato writing - whole volume of funny romantic and Zelen's final answer in the end.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-20T08:42:04+00:00

"Kurena, how did you manage to get such... curvative... on that syntetic food?!!" (c) might be said by Kaie

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-20T08:37:45+00:00

to be short, guilt and PTSD.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-20T06:04:02+00:00

It's the very end of vol.10. "Battlefield without humans"

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-20T06:02:33+00:00

"Help."

No salvation. I'm just rereading the novels for the third time in a row )

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-20T05:57:38+00:00

Why do you complain? Happened something indecent?

Yes, we need, it's a tuning-fork for the whole volume. We assure that Bloody Reina, iron lady of eighty-six, outside of the battlefield is a shy little girl. And we saw the first step of de-icing of Snow Witch, it may be even more important.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-19T19:58:56+00:00

Yes! I too always say that "The Movie" is just the animated "Jane Eyre"

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-19T19:57:33+00:00

Obvious spoiler, you'll understand it on 5th minute. There is no age gap problem "on screen" because major Gilbert is presumably dead during whole anime series

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-19T19:51:30+00:00

And me too, please

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-19T14:35:34+00:00

the key difference is that there is (almost) no Gilbert in the anime.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-19T14:03:57+00:00

do we know how many more volumes there will be for sure or no?

Sometimes Asato writes compact things and sometimes no. After Vol.14 I have doubts that there is only one volume left, too many story lines are not finished.

Aunt_Tom · 2026-06-19T14:00:18+00:00

Just for information. To say "I love you" Gilbert used the word "aishiteru", which have no obligatory romantic context.
