Summary

(Volume 7)

At the end of the eternal Great War, the world where everything is decided by games, "Disboard," is born as the means to an end are changed from violence and force to games and wagers。 But winners still trample losers, and the victims pile up。 A young shrine maiden laughs at how nothing has changed。 As the gamer siblings Sora and Shiro play a dice game where the number of dice you have is determined by your age, everyone seems to be against the pair。 Will they survive, or will they lose the game--and their lives?

3。5☆ A rather philosophical volume, that was fun and unpredictable nonetheless。 I think I finally got what the Old Deus game was all about but it was still very confusing。

It’s not as exciting for some reason but I’m going to continue reading them anyway。 Although it’s going to take me a while since I get distracted with other exciting books。

Now that was an ending!

This book was a wild ride。 It wraps up the events of the 7th in such a confusing, yet satisfying way and the constant twists and turns are impressively mind-boggling and confusing。 It's a lot to wrap your head around for sure, but I love it so much dammit。 It also manages to add some deeper thoughts in between the rambling of a couple hopeless otaku, which is really nice。One of my complaints is the fact that the Old Deus speaks in makeshift Shakespearian。 I'm assuming it's because of translation This book was a wild ride。 It wraps up the events of the 7th in such a confusing, yet satisfying way and the constant twists and turns are impressively mind-boggling and confusing。 It's a lot to wrap your head around for sure, but I love it so much dammit。 It also manages to add some deeper thoughts in between the rambling of a couple hopeless otaku, which is really nice。One of my complaints is the fact that the Old Deus speaks in makeshift Shakespearian。 I'm assuming it's because of translations and stuff, but I feel like it's just so unnatural and she could have been speaking in more archaic English without it being badly written Shakespear。 Again, this probably isn't the author's fault, but it's something I just had to ignore while reading it because it annoyed me。This series is pretty niche and definitely not for everyone, but it's such a light read and it's really fun。 。。。more

Cleanly tied up all the clues from the previous volumes。

The longest arc of No Game No Life comes to an unsatisfying end with this volume。 I admit, the flashback in Vol。 6 seems to have been too high a hurdle for the author to overcome and it is sad to see his pathetic attempts to tie back the events there in to the current arc。 Honestly, the major issue in this and the previous volume was the lack of a cohesive point of view, with the author writing huge confusing messes of text that try too hard to convey a sense of coolness but only end up making t The longest arc of No Game No Life comes to an unsatisfying end with this volume。 I admit, the flashback in Vol。 6 seems to have been too high a hurdle for the author to overcome and it is sad to see his pathetic attempts to tie back the events there in to the current arc。 Honestly, the major issue in this and the previous volume was the lack of a cohesive point of view, with the author writing huge confusing messes of text that try too hard to convey a sense of coolness but only end up making the characters even more disliked。 It is made worse, either due to bad writing or bad translation or both, when multiple dialogues appear with nary an attempt to differentiate or convey properly who is actually saying it, so I just found myself skimming through the word vomit at times。 It isn't helped by the horribly convoluted ending where our MC's just "win" the game by losing it, through some unexplained manipulation of the rules or whatever illogical justification they came up on the spot。 Furthermore, the major antagonist of the arc turns out to be some variation of a Mary Sue and, befitting the theme of the series so far, joins our protagonists with a really easy manner。 Given that the entire game was built on the premise of having someone die at the end, it was quite the letdown。 。。。more

A solid book, but nearly as entertaining as the previous books in the series。 It was a bit too over complicated, and the writing was hard to follow at points。 However, the last chapter of the book almost made up for it。

Joshua

Amazing all the way through。 No game no life is always a great series to behold。And this volume exemplified that。 Through the great war and even the conversation it is always fantastic。

Jeffrey

Bad translation makes for super confusion。 I think there’s Japanese wordplay that just doesn’t come across。

Mendhak

After reading the confusing mess that was volume 7, I thought things may clarify themselves in volume 8。 Although it's a little less confusing, it's still confusing and pointless enough to not make it worthwhile。 The whole game and the game within the game feels tepid at best, the magic of the previous volumes just isn't there。 After reading the confusing mess that was volume 7, I thought things may clarify themselves in volume 8。 Although it's a little less confusing, it's still confusing and pointless enough to not make it worthwhile。 The whole game and the game within the game feels tepid at best, the magic of the previous volumes just isn't there。 。。。more
