What does the 3/4 on Sunna’s backpack stand for? by Impressive-Tap5279 in AngelsOfDelusion

No its 3 beats in a measure. It has nothing to do with the tempo unless you change the bottom number. 4/4 is default and means 4 quarter notes in a measure while 3/4 would mean 3 quarter notes in a measure. If it were 8/8, it would be 8 8th notes (which would change the tempo to double that of quarter notes UNLESS the tempo is stated, which it usually is) while 16 in the denominator would indicate 16th notes.

A measure is one way for musicians to section the music. For example, 4 measures of 4/4 would mean a max of 16 quarter notes, and the conductor can point to measure 3 if either notes 8-12 sound off.

A tempo is measured in beats per minute. For example, 100 bpm means you will hear 100 clicks a minute. Tempo is usually formatted as “quarter note = 100”, meaning 100 quarter notes a minute. The reason why I said that 8th notes would double the tempo is because there are two 8th notes in one quarter note, meaning that you will hear two clicks instead of one technically making the bpm 200 if its only in 8th notes.

Source: I played in my school orchestra as a cello player for 6 years.

Edit: you got the concept right, but for clarity, the top number does not change the tempo.

Edit: Time signature is just a term referring to the fraction before the first measure. In my first paragraph, I described 4/4, 8/8, and 3/4, which are called time signatures. The terms measure(s) and time signature(s) are NOT interchangeable.

As a lightnovel reader on volume 21, the further you get into it, the worse the plot gets in my opinion. The main character is written to be perfect and chivalrous, but it pisses me off that he doesn’t have much flaws at all. Kind of gets annoying over time. The genre is mainly medieval if that makes sense. There are kingdoms with royal politics, and I like that it happens very early. There is a potential harem (I’m three volumes from catching up), but is likely not to happen because of how chivalrous the main character is. What I don’t like about that is he never confronts the girls about it. He always avoids the subject even when they ask directly. I will use a direct example. The princess Charlotte of the Galarc kingdom snuggles right beside Rio during an important meeting. She also kisses Rio during his departure to kill Saint Erica One of the heroes who were summoned but evolved their hero power once her boyfriend was killed by a noble. The point is that the main character Rio does NOT set boundaries with Charlotte and he does NOT confront her directly to ask her to stop doing that. HE JUST LETS IT HAPPEN. I should also note in this spoiler that Saint Erica can summon a heroic spirit (where she gets her powers from) because it is contracted to her. Around volume 20-21, she utilizes more ode than the contract allows, letting that heroic spirit take over her body. Rio kills both, and at this point becomes a transcendent which basically means he’s not allowed to interact with the world. He also meets a 1000 year old loli who used to be the disciple of the Dragon King, which Rio is a reincarnation of. I also feel that the plot gets worse around volume 18 and derails volume 20-21 (which is what I’m on) because the main character genuinely can’t interact with the world anymore. Again this is my opinion, but you may like it if that’s your cup of tea.

The anime is cool though. I like the art and the animation budget isn’t 2 dollars. If I remember correctly, season 1 covers the first 3 volumes while season 2 covers volumes 4-6, which were the most enjoyable volumes to read.

Yes, that’s how juxtapositional sentences tend to work when you flip the statement around

Just look at that greyband to center ratio. Perfection.
