Great stuff man, really enjoyable journey. Slightly underwhelming (maybe due to all the hype) and a little anticlimactic but still good. 10/10. Solid Cast. No lore is beating lotm lore.

Transmigrator bias almost had me put Roselle and Amanises at t2 & t3 🤭.

I'm definitely upset that there was no Roselle follow-up or closure.

Also I feel that Klein should've came straight out and told his entire story to the Tarot Club right before the end, either in his words or even better, the form of a movie. Would've done legends and altered my DNA. Regardless it still had amazing world-building and other things.

I won't complain about the romance since all of you know that my t1 has zero-romance but im pretty sure we can all agree that Audrey and The World are meant for each other. They could've easily been a top 10 couple OF ALL TIME!!! On that note I have nothing but praise for Audrey,

Top 8 female character ever, right below Lady Whitley and right above Xiao Ning'er.

The storytelling was a little too chaotic at some times which ruined the theme at certain moments but most of the time things came full circle so it's still acceptable.

Phenomenal Ouroboros fumble, he had potential as an antagonist of the FATE PATHWAY! Medici let down as well.

As you can see I don't have Adam too high. Reasons being; his sudden appearance and arrangements during the v4 ending matched the prior hype. But in essence, besides the 'showdown on Utopia' twist, everything after that was lackluster (as a character).

I consider that Utopia twist as a plot device and I don't think that I would be going too far to say that most of his 'moments' and 'mysteriousness' were actually amplified due to the lore. It didn't really give his character any additional stocks.

I know that this might seem unfair to a lot of other characters. Im not really sure how to word this but his existence to me is kinda like the star-stream in a certain way, it's more for the story. His character relied too heavily on the status of a 'living legend'.

most of the things that he arranged came before Klein's era and story and the subsequent developments during Klein's era lacked sustenance for Adam as a "character". On the other hand they were phenomenal for the story. As you can see Amon ACTUALLY went off.......also

Roselle's case is different in the sense that his diary built his character but with Adam being active his "character building" was slightly different. When Klein said "can you accept such an outcome" it was dope, when Adam did...Flirting VS Harassment. I won't bash him so much.

Basically he has the same vibes as "The King" from GOH but slightly better. Still a decent character..... maybe the hype got to me.

For me the foundation of the power-system being so deeply intricate and intertwined into the lore and vice-versa is the main reason that they're best I've ever seen.

Let me be clear. I LOVE Evernight. If I were to find out that after everything that's happened, someone was actually secretly supporting me and had my back I would definitely have to rizz her up. I understand that it's because they shared a special connection but Evernight also

could've used him for her own goals and forced him to do things at certain times especially with her status. Even if Klein were to plead with her on the basis of their "shared" history she could've blamed it on slight madness and dissonance accumulated after thousands of years of

life + she didn't owe him anything. With the way she schemes she could've definitely found a balance between Amon's craziness yet she chose to tamper with Klein's fate in a good way. Such a thing can be considered pure in a world where the background is chaos and madness.

And in such a world, a pure heart is all you need.

What she did for Klein reminds of hsy peak moments in a certain way and you guys know what such a thing means to me.

I really hope that the Western Continent opens in Circle of Inevitability.

Now let's see what The Ravages of Time and these last 6 volumes of Mushoku Tensei can do👀.
