ROLL OVER AND DIE: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword! Vol 2: So I read the first volume of this a few years back, thought it was meh, and then for some reason bought the rest of the series on a sale later on. So I figured I’d finally dive in and read vol 2 last week.
It was okay. Every character was either comically evil or comically saint-like in vol 1, and that feels at least a bit toned down. Flum feels a bit more interesting to follow around this time. Dein is, like, the worst antagonist ever. The big mysteries with the church feel kind of arbitrary at times, like stuff doesn’t line up with all the other weird things going on but they’re all apparently closely related.
So, yeah, I’ll still read the volumes I picked up because I’m interested enough to follow Flum around, but I’m not exactly waiting on the edge of my seat for new volumes or anything.
I started reading Sword Art Online Progressive rather than dive right into volume 3 and that’s much better. Not finished yet, but man it’s nice to read SAO with the characters having… character.
