The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

It was absolutely terrible. I bought over 400 chapters of Lostbelt because the first four wars were so interesting, but the Holy Grail War arc was rushed and incredibly boring. As for the later arcs, I couldn't even finish them because I hadn't read the original work. It became a mediocre read that was neither good nor bad.

The second volume by Rabindranath Thomson is the best; personally, I like the following aspects: 1) The protagonist plays the role of the king, and is quite chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), but sometimes he's a little embarrassed (for example, when he says to Kariya: "How come you accepted the chuunibyou setting even more smoothly than me?"). This contrast is quite funny. 2) The interactions with characters like Kariya and the Conqueror King are quite heartwarming, like drinking and stargazing together. 3) The hymns praising Ra seem to be based on historical records; they're quite sophisticated, with a literary and epic feel, and rather ornate, which means there weren't many awkward moments of immature kids reciting lines. …But the later volumes felt more like an outline, and it was all just the protagonist's arrogant dialogue, ordinary prayers for blessings, and easy wins, with less interesting interaction between the protagonist and their Master/Servants.

This book was really well-written before, but starting from around chapter 20 of volume eight, it felt like it was written by a completely different person; I had no idea what it was about.

I've read volumes one and two so far. I thought volume one was pretty good, but volume two was just so-so. What happens to him later on? #(Almost crying)#(Seal)

The protagonist essentially resets their character every time they switch instances, without inheriting abilities or power from the previous game. This is a major flaw for someone like me who enjoys snowballing power accumulation, and after persisting for a few volumes, I couldn't resist dropping the book.

Why isn't it over yet? How come they're still alive? If they're so useful, why are they being used to death? These two are worse than animals.

The first volume was already the pinnacle.

Why isn't there a review section for this book? #(Dizzy)

In the Lostbelt, the protagonist felt incredibly frustrated. Jumping around to see the ocean, they were constantly getting beaten half to death. The Lostbelt felt like the only difference was the addition of the protagonist; the story was completely unchanged from the game, and the protagonist felt like a nobody on the sidelines. #(Vomit)

The novels these days don't have the same atmosphere as before. Why couldn't they have saved the tragic Sakura earlier? Even a cockroach crawling on her skin is unacceptable. The bugs in the anime were truly disgusting back then. An old bug commented on Sakura: "For the first three days, she could still cry and scream occasionally, but by the fourth day, she couldn't even make a sound." This morning, I put her in the bug tank, just to see how long she could stay there. I didn't expect her to be tormented by bugs for half a day, but she's still breathing. It seems the Tohsaka family's material is truly irresistible. Author, you have no heart!
