One of the things I like about the setting for Frieren is that the mages in it don’t sit about twiddling their thumbs when it comes to researching spells.
A spell that the 4 strongest people in the world were completely unable to defend against 80 years ago gets reduced to the level of generic attack magic after it’s researched, and countermeasures are developed and improved. There’s a sense of progress and development for magic instead of everyone just trying to reclaim past glory like you see in other settings.
So uh.
Apparently you get 5 chapters today!
I didn’t realise this…
So enjoy your special extra set!
I guess we can call this a New Year + 1000 chapter celebration!
Once again today I had to edit with the textbox only displaying on half the screen…
Or not!
Haha, I actually remembered being told how to resolve this this time!
This this… English is wild sometimes.
Anyway, I did the trick to make the box return to its full size and all is right with the world.
Here’s Chapter 1001.
I look forward to Chapter 1111 now… and 1234…
This chapter is one of the first ones to really highlight how entrenched this novel is with the author’s other works and their RPG.
Beware, the wiki is a rabbit hole, and with spoilers.
The character design art on there though is absolute fire.
Some really great work from the artist.
Not that you should spoil yourself.
I did it as part of my job!
I just read an old thread totally ripping the author of Infinite Stratos apart by comparing it to works written after Infinite Stratos.
Specially saying things like: “The author played it too safe”
No the author didn’t play it too safe…
The author literally wrote the book for the subgenre and everything you’ve read since has put a spin on it to be unique and build on what made IS popular in the first place!
You’re just looking back at something with 10 years of extra material and hindsight!
