This was better than volume one， but I still ended up skimming sections and I kind of rushed the end to get it over with。It's the system stuff。 If you scrapped all the massive lists of stats and skill descriptions， the pacing would be better。 Unfortunately， you'd also make the book half as long。 Massive blocks of test doing nothing aside from listing skill names is boring。 Sorry。 It is。Also， this book could do with a good proofreader。Aside from that， the story is less tedious than book one， havi This was better than volume one， but I still ended up skimming sections and I kind of rushed the end to get it over with。It's the system stuff。 If you scrapped all the massive lists of stats and skill descriptions， the pacing would be better。 Unfortunately， you'd also make the book half as long。 Massive blocks of test doing nothing aside from listing skill names is boring。 Sorry。 It is。Also， this book could do with a good proofreader。Aside from that， the story is less tedious than book one， having action and something to hold your interest all the way through。 Though starting with a cooking lesson was less than ideal。 Aside from the cooking lesson， stuff happens and fight descriptions were more exciting。 The author is improving there。As I said， better than book one。 Also， this should look amazing as an anime。。。 assuming the screenwriter is any good。 I wouldn't necessarily recommend this series， but I wouldn't stop anyone reading it either。 。。。more

Uma espada， sua garota e suas aventuras。 Para fãs de aventura e açãoOs personagens me surpreenderam bastante em relação ao último volume。 Eles tem uma dinâmica de pai e filha num mundo novo que é muito bacana， e mesmo as cenas sem ação ainda são bonitas por mostrar a relação entre eles， as estratégias que ambos chegam e como eles vão gastar os recursos que possuem。 É algo bem legal de se ler。Porém， em uma parte ambos são colocados contra a parede e， infelizmente， é resolvido com um Deus Ex Machi Uma espada， sua garota e suas aventuras。 Para fãs de aventura e açãoOs personagens me surpreenderam bastante em relação ao último volume。 Eles tem uma dinâmica de pai e filha num mundo novo que é muito bacana， e mesmo as cenas sem ação ainda são bonitas por mostrar a relação entre eles， as estratégias que ambos chegam e como eles vão gastar os recursos que possuem。 É algo bem legal de se ler。Porém， em uma parte ambos são colocados contra a parede e， infelizmente， é resolvido com um Deus Ex Machina（uma resolução que surge do nada milagrosamente e resolve o problema）， mas sem contar isso， é uma ótima leitura 。。。more

After the long grind of the first volume， this one finally packs some nice action， with two big stories about two different dungeon runs that turn dangerous。 It remains a grindy read， but we can see more of Fran and the world in this one， so it was more fun to read overall。 At this point I just assume everybody is more or less role-playing in a video game and don't try to make it deeper than it is。 After the long grind of the first volume， this one finally packs some nice action， with two big stories about two different dungeon runs that turn dangerous。 It remains a grindy read， but we can see more of Fran and the world in this one， so it was more fun to read overall。 At this point I just assume everybody is more or less role-playing in a video game and don't try to make it deeper than it is。 。。。more

Honestly， if it’s one thing I wasn’t expecting from this series， it was depth。 I binge read this in one day， and it took about all day。 I still have minor complaints， but for the most part they’re too small for me to be picky over。 The story flows well， and while character depth isn’t the author’s immediate strong suit， there was more improvement in this novel then I expected。 I felt like book 1 was a light， entertaining read。 This second volume is less light， but not heavy in nature。 It grounds Honestly， if it’s one thing I wasn’t expecting from this series， it was depth。 I binge read this in one day， and it took about all day。 I still have minor complaints， but for the most part they’re too small for me to be picky over。 The story flows well， and while character depth isn’t the author’s immediate strong suit， there was more improvement in this novel then I expected。 I felt like book 1 was a light， entertaining read。 This second volume is less light， but not heavy in nature。 It grounds the lighthearted nature in good storytelling。 。。。more

Slicing His Way Into Your HeartThe adventures of Black Cat Fran and Enchanted Sword Teacher continues！ New friends are made， like the shadow wolf Jet and the Necromancer Jean。This book really raises the stakes for Teacher， with the second half focusing on an undead dungeon situated on a floating island。 He comes to better terms with his skills and how they mesh with Fran。 The stat numbers sometimes feel like they don't really matter though。My biggest complaint with the series is how it plays up Slicing His Way Into Your HeartThe adventures of Black Cat Fran and Enchanted Sword Teacher continues！ New friends are made， like the shadow wolf Jet and the Necromancer Jean。This book really raises the stakes for Teacher， with the second half focusing on an undead dungeon situated on a floating island。 He comes to better terms with his skills and how they mesh with Fran。 The stat numbers sometimes feel like they don't really matter though。My biggest complaint with the series is how it plays up "lolicon"/pedophilia as a basis for its humor。 This happens about 6 different times in this book alone and each time was just awkward and unnecessary。 It also has a habit of telling about the action instead of showing， although it could be argued this is a trait popular with light novels in general。Despite these flaws I liked this one more than the first。 Interested in where the next book goes。 。。。more

I gave the series a chance after the first Volume， but it doesn't get better， so I'm dropping it。The writer is just not good。 He says it's his first work and it shows。 That is the whole problem here。 The writing is boring， characters are flat and all enemies are villains so stereotypical， you wonder what kind of interaction the author had with bullies。 Or what social interactions he has period。I may give his future works a try， even if most of the foundation of how the magical world works in thi I gave the series a chance after the first Volume， but it doesn't get better， so I'm dropping it。The writer is just not good。 He says it's his first work and it shows。 That is the whole problem here。 The writing is boring， characters are flat and all enemies are villains so stereotypical， you wonder what kind of interaction the author had with bullies。 Or what social interactions he has period。I may give his future works a try， even if most of the foundation of how the magical world works in this is ripped from other light novels。 Perhaps his next spin on them will be better。 。。。more

The fun continues in volume 2。 We get what feels like 2 arcs in this story - Fran proving herself to the haters and Fran goes on an undead adventure。 The end opened up more questions w Teacher and his existence。 I’m looking forward to more adventures w Teacher and Fran :）

A good second volume which continues Fran and Teacher's adventures。 I do wish that there was something of a long term goal or objective by now， similar to what Arifureta or Konosuba have by their 2nd volumes。 But still a fun read and I'll be diving into volume 3 shortly。 A good second volume which continues Fran and Teacher's adventures。 I do wish that there was something of a long term goal or objective by now， similar to what Arifureta or Konosuba have by their 2nd volumes。 But still a fun read and I'll be diving into volume 3 shortly。 。。。more

"I would wish that I could continue to be Fran's strength。 I wanted to fight alongside her as her sword。" - TeacherFor the time being， it seems our protagonist's wishes are well on their way towards fulfillment。 （Rating and Recommendation at the bottom！）Reincarnated as a Sword， Vol。 2 is a continuation of the isekai fantasy light novel series starting in Reincarnated as a Sword， Vol。 1。 As before， we follow the story of our wholesome duo as they progress through the adventuring ranks and explore "I would wish that I could continue to be Fran's strength。 I wanted to fight alongside her as her sword。" - TeacherFor the time being， it seems our protagonist's wishes are well on their way towards fulfillment。 （Rating and Recommendation at the bottom！）Reincarnated as a Sword， Vol。 2 is a continuation of the isekai fantasy light novel series starting in Reincarnated as a Sword， Vol。 1。 As before， we follow the story of our wholesome duo as they progress through the adventuring ranks and explore their world。 The original light-hearted atmosphere is still present but the increased focus on battles and plots has tipped the balance。Compared to the previous entry to the series， there is significantly more dungeoneering and fighting which can be tedious to read at times。 This is mostly a result of our duo's OP-status combined with the endless skills and effects that become relevant only when convenient to the fight at hand。 Yuu Tanaka occasionally mitigates this by summarizing sections of dungeon that are simply more of the "and we beat them with a single attack"-type。To the story's credit， there are a handful of encounters in which the party must use their abilities somewhat creatively to succeed。 （view spoiler）[The airborne fight with the skeleton knight is my favourite in the series so far。 （hide spoiler）] One such encounter leaves Teacher reflecting on how they could have handled the situation more effectively; in particular， ability choice and keeping a clear mind。 The consequences of their blunders are also discussed which helps connect the characters' actions to the world。 Of course， these consequences end up being somewhat meaningless but at least they exist in some capacity。 In future entries， I hope we see this occur more frequently and develop more depth/impact。In terms of world building， this entry fares far better than its predecessor。 This may be in part due to the capability of building atop previous concepts （which is usually easier than setting the foundations。） In particular， the side story after the first third of the book discussed the nearby geopolitical climate and had me pondering the possible paths the setting could take。 Despite running the risk of being dry， it is written in such a way that kept me interested and left me wanting more when the chapter was over。 Combine this with a sprinkling of hints towards greater plot threads in the main story and one has great potential for further developments。As a note， the Identify issues I had stated in my Vol。 1 review are still present。 However， as I have been forcing myself to read them， I've acclimated to picking out certain details。 Sometimes I found myself pondering what skills and abilities of an opponent will be relevant and how they would fare against our protagonists。 This is still time-consuming but can add a little bit of enjoyment if you're a theorizing nut。While the main duo arguably doesn't develop too much over the course of this book， many new characters are introduced that serve a variety of roles。 These roles include companions， power ceilings， and plot advancers。 Unfortunately， many of the 'strong' characters suffer from being 'too nice' as they almost seem to only help the protagonists along their way。 This lack of motivational conflict hinders Fran and Teacher's growth and deprives both sides of further depth。 （view spoiler）[Let me say that I love Jet and Jean as they add so much colour to the adventure without overtaking the bigger picture。 （hide spoiler）] While this quantity over quality approach helps make a colourful cast of characters， I have found myself forgetting where we had originally met some side characters。 （Is this due to my age？）Overall， I would say this novel is a step up from the last。 While scenes devoted to building Fran and Teacher's relationship are limited， the interactions with the new cast more than makes up for it。 World-building and encounter writing shows minor improvements and paints a promising trajectory。 Further developments in character motivations is required and stops me from awarding it a 4。0。 Even still， the novel is fun， the cast is colourful， and the fight scenes are 'cool'。Rating:3。9/5Recommendation:To readers looking to continue the series。To readers looking to be teased with great potential but left to wait for the next volume。 。。。more

3。8/5 stars。 （Also， my paperback copy had 447 pgs instead of 320）Once again， I was intrigued by the characterization and depth of Fran。 She's a twelve-year-old cat girl who doesn't blink at gore and death。 She's very perceptive and studies her target， whether on the battlefield or encountering new people。 I can see why Teacher is so concerned over her， at the same time his/its antics are a bit over the top。 While I came across the occasional spelling/grammatic issue， and some long-winded info-du 3。8/5 stars。 （Also， my paperback copy had 447 pgs instead of 320）Once again， I was intrigued by the characterization and depth of Fran。 She's a twelve-year-old cat girl who doesn't blink at gore and death。 She's very perceptive and studies her target， whether on the battlefield or encountering new people。 I can see why Teacher is so concerned over her， at the same time his/its antics are a bit over the top。 While I came across the occasional spelling/grammatic issue， and some long-winded info-dumping of skill stats and such， I enjoyed seeing our MCs meet new characters。 We， the readers， are starting to learn more and more about Teacher's and Fran's circumstances as sword and master， as well as the world around them。 I'm hoping the next volume blows me away。 。。。more

I enjoyed this volume。 There is a lot to enjoy in this work。 You get to see Fran evolve as a character and come into her own powers and abilities。 You also get to see more of the world and meet some pretty interesting characters。 You also get a glimpse of some of the horrors that are going on behind the scenes which we didn't see before。 There is also further expansion on the world's systems and how things work， thus further explaining the more RPG elements of the story。However， we also see more I enjoyed this volume。 There is a lot to enjoy in this work。 You get to see Fran evolve as a character and come into her own powers and abilities。 You also get to see more of the world and meet some pretty interesting characters。 You also get a glimpse of some of the horrors that are going on behind the scenes which we didn't see before。 There is also further expansion on the world's systems and how things work， thus further explaining the more RPG elements of the story。However， we also see more of the over-powered element that we could see building in the first book。 During the climax of the story， despite the author creating some tension， it all gets blasted away by the characters not really winning by their own hand， and that's disappointing。 （and very reminiscent of part of the battle against the head orc in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime， Vol。 2） I would have rather seen them defeat the big bad for this novel using some kind of creativity， thus showing how much both the protagonist and Fran have come as a pair。 As it is， it feels empty。Still， there is a lot to like about this book。 There is some repetition to the concept of dungeons， and that does feel a bit boring， but it's to be expected in something that is taking elements from RPGLit。 So if you are looking for an interesting isekai， I recommend this series to you as it's not your usual isekai story。 （well， parts are， but still。。。） 。。。more

Good continuationAfter the starting story in volume 1， I wasn't sure what to expect in volume 2。 But， i can say that it was well worth the read。 But。 I'm hoping to find out more about Fran in one of the future volumes。 So far， we still don't kn ok w much about her。 Good continuationAfter the starting story in volume 1， I wasn't sure what to expect in volume 2。 But， i can say that it was well worth the read。 But。 I'm hoping to find out more about Fran in one of the future volumes。 So far， we still don't kn ok w much about her。 。。。more

A straight-up sequel of the first book。Basically， there's a lot of re-used themes from the first book， just with new power levels。 The addition of the non-evil necromancer is what makes the entire storyline work out rather than being just a retelling of the original version。My only regret remains that this is a lightnovel， and not very "meaty"。 I end up wishing the exact same plot and cast would be redone as a more classic novel。 But the book remains worth reading。 A straight-up sequel of the first book。Basically， there's a lot of re-used themes from the first book， just with new power levels。 The addition of the non-evil necromancer is what makes the entire storyline work out rather than being just a retelling of the original version。My only regret remains that this is a lightnovel， and not very "meaty"。 I end up wishing the exact same plot and cast would be redone as a more classic novel。 But the book remains worth reading。 。。。more

A bit of a recycling of the first volume in terms of plot。 See dungeon， raid dungeon， defeat boss。 I suppose that has a lot to do with the repetitive， linear storytelling of video game RPGs on which this series takes its inspiration。 Some threads from the first volume are tied up （maybe）， and new ones are introduced along with new allies for Fran and Teacher。 As much as I enjoyed Fran the first time through， there was little to distinguish her here other than the introduction of a few more overp A bit of a recycling of the first volume in terms of plot。 See dungeon， raid dungeon， defeat boss。 I suppose that has a lot to do with the repetitive， linear storytelling of video game RPGs on which this series takes its inspiration。 Some threads from the first volume are tied up （maybe）， and new ones are introduced along with new allies for Fran and Teacher。 As much as I enjoyed Fran the first time through， there was little to distinguish her here other than the introduction of a few more overpowered abilities followed by a dues ex machina conclusion。 While I enjoy a good wish fulfillment adventure fantasy story， it seems like the resolutions to the adversity that Fran encounters are very perfunctory and outside of her own wit and action to overcome。 She is a very passive hero besides obliterating “trash mobs。” One of the hallmarks of light novels are the illustrations interspersed throughout。 The ones we get in this volume do nothing to bring settings and characters to life。 They simply show various characters posing or posturing with no context。 As I am not the only reader of this series in my house， I will be visiting the next volume。 Hopefully， things will improve。 。。。more

Falling in to the usual trappings of isekai reincarnation genre works， this volume basically has Fran "proving" herself to her surroundings by basically being supremely overpowered bordering on disbelief。 Despite that， her earnestness and childish， down-to-earth manner does make her a likeable character， especially when it comes to her backstory。 That said， the adventuring parts of the story are decently done if slightly wordy due to the penchant to waste pages on depicting the "status screens"， Falling in to the usual trappings of isekai reincarnation genre works， this volume basically has Fran "proving" herself to her surroundings by basically being supremely overpowered bordering on disbelief。 Despite that， her earnestness and childish， down-to-earth manner does make her a likeable character， especially when it comes to her backstory。 That said， the adventuring parts of the story are decently done if slightly wordy due to the penchant to waste pages on depicting the "status screens"， a very common isekai trope。 The climax battle in this volume was sufficiently tension-filled， with a surprising twist in the resolution。 While I still wouldn't recommend this work， mostly due to overuse of isekai tropes， casual readers of this genre will find it entertaining enough。 。。。more
