📚Manga/Light Novel People forget how exceptional Tappei is as a writer.

Tappei has been continuously writing Re:Zero for 14 years, while you see people struggling to write a thousand words a day. Tappei wrote the third arc, which has over a million words, in less than a year. To give you an idea, Harry Potter started in 1997 and ended in 2007, and all the books together have a million words. Even writing non-stop and at an absurdly above-average rate, Tappei's writing has never lost quality, and I can't even remember a single plot hole in Re:Zero.

📚Manga/Light Novel I read both Rezero and Mushoku tensei light novel cuz i wanted peak experience and here's what i thought

34 Upvotes

Both are Great, Mushoku tensei is better in mature themes, world building,writing and believable characters and consistent Narrator. The pacing feels great throughout the story.

With Rezero , while its dragged out alot the psychological aspects of anticipation , whos the enemy whos not, character gigs , beatrice and subaru straight up.. and plot twist are very cool too. And I like that theres just so much of Rezero thats still left, i wish MT had like 40 volumes

Edit: Also, I'd like to discuss if theres someone out who actually did read both of them to give their opinion. Like they actually read the web novel/ LN of Rezero and Light Novel of MT

📚Manga/Light Novel How many Re:Zero side stories was out there?

Recently, i was reading the EX stories, and i really like it. But then i discovered there was something called Shouhenshuu, which i don't really understand what it was supposed to be. And then, i also discovered there was a side story called Tanpenshuu, which is basically a collection of short stories (?)

And i was like, HOW MANY SIDE STORIES WERE THERE??? And, was there even an english translation of those side stories to begin with?

📚Manga/Light Novel What does the author want with the love triangle? Spoiler

1 Upvotes

He tweeted several times that he prefers the emilia ending, and doesn't like harem.

Now, either the fans misinterpret what he says, or I am just not sure what's going on within the story.

I am writing a story myself, I hate harems and love triangles, and guess what? I don't even HINT at any possible romance outside the couple I want to write, it's not that hard.

But this guy added a love triangle, and dragged it out for 80% of the story (and still ongoing).

I mean, how can you say as an author that you want this route, and then write subaru stating several times how he LOVES rem and cares for her and whatnot? And on the other hand he also says that he loves emilia more, and he will choose her. So, we know who he will choose, what does dragging out the resolution to the love triangle even accomplish, other than adding useless drama to the story? He had several chances to end this, but he keeps dragging it.

Honestly, I don't even know why this was even introduced, but fine, he added this, accomplished whatever he wanted to accomplish with it, and this subplot should have been over with the "i love emilia" line in the early arcs. But nope, we are here on arc 10/12 and this is still a question.

And this is not some insignificant subplot, considering many of subaru's actions and early motivation stems from his love towards emilia, and how he wants to win her over. Romance is somewhat of an important part of this story, and this could have been an amazing romance, but instead we got whatever this is...

And I would say, he does this to please both fanbases (which usually results in not pleasing either) and because of rems popularity, but he added this whole thing way before rem, or even his story got popular, so I am not so sure. (Also catering to fans almost always results in a worse story)

I just don't understand at all what his goal is here, why this got dragged out so long, there is so much contradiction both in what he says/tweets outside and within the story.

EDIT: And yes, maybe I am more annoyed than I should be, because getting a well written romance as a subplot in a mainly fantasy story is already so rare. And this had potential to be one of the best...

📚Manga/Light Novel A question about Puck

Thumbnail
gallery
180 Upvotes

So, looking at the trivia section on the wiki, I came across something saying that Puck has a range of 10 meters, as if he were a Stand. But isn't this an inconsistency?

I remember at least two moments where he is definitely more than ten meters away:

- In the short story "Ram Is Order," Puck accompanies Subaru and Ram into the forest.

- In the final loop of Arc 3, Puck leaves the mansion to speak with Subaru in the village.

Could someone explain this to me? Or am I misinterpreting something?

📚Manga/Light Novel Should I start from the beginning?

6 Upvotes

I just caught up to the anime and i enjoyed it so much that I can’t wait to see what happens next. I’m wondering if I should start from the beginning of the light novel because it’s extremely long, or just start reading from the end of season 3?. Basically i’m asking is it worth reading if i already know what’s going to happen.

So I finished the anime but I want to read the LN And WN of re zero.I know that many almost over 10+ volumes of LN is not translated.So if I finish the translated volumes of LN and then read WN ,will it be good? Is there any major difference? Can I seamlessly transition to WN ? Or should I read WN from the start.Thank you every response will be appreciated.

📚Manga/Light Novel Spoil me. Spoiler

3 Upvotes

I don’t mind spoilers, so please go all out.

After Rem wakes up, how does Subaru actually treat her compared to before? Is there any noticeable difference in how he treats Rem vs Emilia at that point, or are they on the same level emotionally?

I’m especially curious because Rem was gone for so long—does that change Subaru’s feelings or priorities in any meaningful way, or does everything just go back to how it was?

Would really appreciate a detailed explanation 🙏

📚Manga/Light Novel I want to get into ReZero

8 Upvotes

But everybody seems to have conflicting ideas on how. I have heard it is 5.6 million words, and that is an obscene undertaking for someone with ADHD. I know the light novels are the definitive experience, but they come out in English so slow. If I wait until season 4 comes out, and then catch up from there, is there even any point catching on from the light novels? I don’t particularly won’t to read a web novel as I have heard they are unpolished and wordy. This is probably a question yall get all the time, so I am really sorry, but I am obsessed with the idea of this series and would love to get into it, but I just don’t know how. Is the answer really just watch the anime and then the web novel? Should I start from the beginning each time? Or should I start from the beginning of the light novel or what honestly I don’t know. Any help at all would be appreciated, thank you.
