读了一半，有声书听了一半。本卷选王篇上，如作者自述，本卷增加了许多名字，搞不清谁是谁呢。 486真是不可爱、中二又白目的死小孩呢。除了他对爱米莉亚的执着，有点让人讨厌呢。

series a few years ago， so I knew in advance it wouldn't be my favorite。 However， the format allowed breathing room for some scenes that in the adaptation didn't shed enough light on the characters' motivations。As usual we follow the misadventures of Natsuki Subaru， a guy mysteriously snatched from Earth to a fantasy world， where he expected to receive protagonist status。 However， he ended up finding out he's more powerless than virtually anyone there， except for his sole special ability: that of returning to a previous point in his fantasy world life whenever he dies。 That doesn't save him， however， from enduring the pain and torture of dying， nor the scars in his mental stability and his resolve， which become prominent plot points as the story goes on。 Until this volume， the protagonist had had to deal with dying horribly in order to stop disasters from happening and save the people he came to appreciate， but now his shortcomings as a human being， beyond his abilities， cause grief and shame in those he loves， to the extent that he's left behind。The gang was chilling at the mansion when they receive a summons for some fantasy world politics thing: the main heroine is a candidate for the throne along with other gals， and she needs to attend some meeting at the capital。 The mostly powerless protagonist sees himself being pushed to the sidelines， forbidden from attending important conversations， and even treated like a bratty child by the woman he loves。 He pushes to be allowed to travel to the capital with his lord and the main heroine。 She wants to keep him in the mansion because she fears he'll overextert himself and end up dying， which he will over and over to an extent that she's unaware of。 But the lord of the mansion， a Littlefinger-like schemer， intends to use the protagonist for his theatrics， so he allows him to accompany them to the capital。 There， they forbid him from attending the royal meeting at the castle。 The main heroine addresses him like she would a child， making him promise that he'll stay put and not cause all kinds of trouble for her。 He promises， but， like the unruly， stubborn bastard that he is， he immediately breaks that promise and spends the first half of the novel attempting to figure out how to sneak into the castle。At one point he saw that some hoodlums were accosting a high-maintenance looking gal in an alley。 The protagonist， driven to put his life on the line for women he doesn't know， butts in and becomes a thing in that woman's mind。 Unfortunately， she's one of the other candidates for the throne: a volatile psychopath who had already usurped the domain of her husband， whom she likely killed， and due to her boundless sense of entitlement， her explicitly stated belief that everything in the world happens for her benefit， she tangles the protagonist， whom she constantly insults， to come along with her and her bodyguard to the royal summons。 As she also had learned that the protagonist was part of the main heroine's retinue， she takes it as an opportunity to smear the heroine's face with the notion that anyone in her vicinity could be whisked away if this other candidate wanted to。 She also refers to the heroine as an imbecile， due to the heroine's generally shy， good-natured demeanour。 For a series with prominently enjoyable banter between the many different characters， this character was excruciating。 Every other character needs to walk on eggshells to avoid triggering her murderous intents。 Unfortunately she also has supernatural powers including likely some luck-based blessing （it's a magical world after all） that has allowed her to believe that the universe moves for her benefit。Pictured: a massive cunt。Her bodyguard， memorable in the anime adaptation itself for his odd attire and friendly demeanour， was originally more significant in a way that clashes with the general concept of the story。 The guy lacks an arm and always wears a helmet to hide the terrible scars and burns on his face， but more prominently he opens up about also having originated in another world， possibly Earth as well。 I thought it was a confusion in the beginning， that the guy meant coming from another distant country or whatever， but apparently there actually is another character that has spent around twenty years making his way in this fantasy world。 It diminishes the uniqueness and importance of the protagonist even more than the rest of the events of this volume do。In any case， the rest of the novel focuses mostly on fantasy world politics。 The candidates and their knights give their reasons why they should be chosen， and there's some interesting stuff there even though it involves dragons。 Regarding the heroine， who happens to have been born a white-haired half-elf， same as the worst villain in the history of that world， she's referred by the current rulers as a half-devil that shouldn't in any way be given any power in the realm。 Her lord organizes some theatrics to show her good nature and power。 He pretends that he's just using her candidacy as a way to speed up forming a new government after the death of the previous rulers。 The protagonist interjects at the disrespect thrown towards his waifu。 The lord， previously quite a chill guy， flings a fireball at the protagonist for his insolence， but the heroine gets in the way and defuses the attack。 It was part of the theatrics to reveal that the heroine is allied with an ancient spirit that is part of some known group of very powerful spirits that can bring forth the Apocalypse or some shit。 In any case， the current rulers respect that this woman could take the throne by force but won't， and just wants to be considered fairly。Later on， seeing that the heroine is the only candidate without a knight of her own， the protagonist steps forward publically to fill that role， only to end up insulting the local royal guard。 The main knight guy calls the protagonist's bluff by demanding to know what kind of training he's received， his noble lineage and such stuff。 The protagonist can't even answer like a stand up guy。 The heroine ends up mortified and drags him out of the room as if he were some ridiculous child。 Later on the knight guy didn't have enough with contributing to induce such shame， and challenges the protagonist to a mock combat。 The protagonist has endured death like five times by that point。 The knight ends up disturbed that this guy that attacks without technique and whose defenses are wide open just won't quit no matter how many times he's beaten。 In any case， the protagonist loses consciousness and that's that。He wakes up to a concerned and shamed heroine， who demands to know what got into him。 She's mad that he can't trust the guy; after all， he brazenly broke the couple of promises he made to stay put and not interfere in her affairs。 She asks why he struggles so much for her sake， and the protagonist can't even explain himself properly; the biggest introduction to each other happened in a life that this current heroine hasn't experienced， because the protagonist died during that previous run， and he can't even tell that he can return by death， because the curse prevents him to do so。 He ends up shooting himself in the foot further by claiming that he should be rewarded for his heroic efforts。 The woman seems to lose all remaining respect for this fool， and says that after he's cured of his wounds thanks to the excellent care her connections have procured， they'll have no further contact。 He ends the volume a broken man。A peculiarity of this series is that the protagonist isn't the typical blank vessel for the audience （a technique I despise）， but despite having a peculiar personality， he starts out a fumbling mess。 He faces people who can wipe the floor with him even in conversations， and whenever there's anything resembling a fight most of what he can do is to endure the pain。 Very odd series when you think about it。As a note， there was a scene in this volume， and two in the previous one， that were cut short in the anime， and in all cases the cut parts featured some ecchi-ness completely absent in the show。 In the previous volume the protagonist comments on the librarian's panties and on the size of Rem's boobs， and on this volume， more damningly， the aforementioned evil lady manipulates the protagonist to bet on something， and she's so sure that she'll win that if she loses she'll allow the guy to fondle her ample breasts。 Not only that clashes with the tone of the rest of the series， but it's hard to believe that the protagonist， single-mindedly obsessed with the heroine， would accept such a side quest。 Whatever。 I like perverted stuff as much as the next guy。 It only annoys me when it clashes with the general tone; in the case of Konosuba， another prominent isekai， that perversion is woven into its fabric （the main guy has a knack for accidentally stealing panties with his magical powers， their goddess/healer apparently doesn't wear panties while always wearing a very short skirt， their paladin is sadomasochistic， and their mage has a complicated relationship with explosions）。I believe that in the next volume the protagonist starts dealing with the witch's cult assault on everyone he likes， which is one of the stronger points of the first season of the anime。

白狐社的動畫刪掉很多劇情呀，果然是情節太滿塞不進兩季的篇幅嗎？小說原作中對於「王選」各方陣營都有完整的「競選宣言」，還描寫到血色新娘（普利希拉公主）身旁的那位怪異的騎士「阿爾」，居然也是十八年前被召喚到這異世來的劍奴；也就是男主角在這裡還有位貨真價實的「同鄉」——但動畫中全都來不及解明……

Subaru was such a frustrating character in this one， he was a spoiled brat and payed a heavy consequence because of that， we meet an intriguing and irritating character and someone with an usual connection to Subaru， and for the grand and important piece of plot， we get the topic of the Royal Selection and all that comes with it。

The beginning of every arc is kinda boring， if you ask me。 Though， in this novel we get to know a whole bunch of new characters like the other 4 girls that want to be the king of Lugunica， and their knights。 In this one I couldn't help but to feel pity for Subaru。 He has good intentions， I know， but somehow， words alone cannot reach Emilia and of course she feels betrayed。 I know that in the 5th novel we'll see Subaru's pain as no other and I can't wait to read it。PREVIOUS REVIEWS:Volume 1 | Vol The beginning of every arc is kinda boring， if you ask me。 Though， in this novel we get to know a whole bunch of new characters like the other 4 girls that want to be the king of Lugunica， and their knights。 In this one I couldn't help but to feel pity for Subaru。 He has good intentions， I know， but somehow， words alone cannot reach Emilia and of course she feels betrayed。 I know that in the 5th novel we'll see Subaru's pain as no other and I can't wait to read it。PREVIOUS REVIEWS:Volume 1 | Volume 2 | Volume 3 。。。more
