The fourth is about a top-tier demon king—please read chapter 22. The fifth is also good, except the pacing is a bit slow, but it's good for Subaru fans.

    The first book is a movie review plus an "if" scenario. The second is about Diablo carrying the protagonist. The third is based on the title. The fourth is also a movie review with many character reactions. The fifth has a protagonist in a wheelchair with abilities from many worlds, but due to multiple soul splits and transmigrating, his mental age is that of a child. The sixth book has very detailed descriptions and some clever little touches. The seventh is a crossover anime review, including Re: Zero, and most of the "if" scenarios are already completed. The eighth is a masterpiece; those who want to see Shaula are in luck. The ninth has Subaru Natsuki transmigrating early and starting in the Oni clan; Subaru has his own method of growth. The tenth has a red-haired dragon protagonist. The eleventh has Subaru Natsuki's "white moonlight"—someone who absolutely trusts the protagonist. The twelfth starts with Subaru knowing the plot and the "if" scenarios, arrogantly wanting to save everyone, but being slapped in the face by reality, and beginning a two-way redemption from another perspective. The thirteenth is based on the title. The fourteenth is almost invincible, on par with Reinhard.

    Don't be fooled by the title of the first book. While it does have elements of low quality, the overall quality is more elevated. Lia here is more assertive and acts more like a queen. I especially loved chapters 24 and 26-27, where Subaru is imprisoned and tortured. I remember Erza demanding he eat human flesh, and he suffers terribly. Later, I think Capella even turns him into a frog or something. The satisfying part is when everyone in the mansion realizes he's missing and is extremely worried and furious, desperately trying to rescue him, but they're too late; Subaru has already reverted to his previous state. And they even specially created an "if" scenario here [you can think about it carefully] (this one is quite diligent, 6 chapters a day). The second book is also good; the content is just like the title: Subaru travels from a convenience store to the Sage's Tower. The author is also very diligent. The third book is similar to the original "if" scenario; Subaru is attacked by the Gluttony Witch and is constantly hungry, wanting to eat everything. It's okay at first, occasionally a bit difficult to control, but later he breaks down under pressure. Then he also follows the "if" villain route, eating people like Ram. His mental state is like the Gluttony Witch's. Later, he follows Regulus 😁 (this one is also quite diligent, although it's two chapters a day, each chapter is 4000 words). The fourth book is actually the "if" scenario Subaru entering the main Subaru's body. The plot follows the main storyline, but Subaru has been buffed. Occasionally, he'll have his alternate character appear in the "what if" storyline, which is quite satisfying. I remember it was in Chapter 2, in the alley where the arrogant Subaru tries to provoke Reinhard by appearing in the alternate character's name. That was pretty fun, haha. I found the fifth volume, the one with the arrogant route, quite enjoyable; it can be read as supplementing the original work's "what if" scenarios. Volumes 6 and 7 are more like watching a movie, which is pretty good and can fill in some details from the original work. Volume 8 is a bit different from volumes 6 and 7; it focuses more on the main storyline and less on watching movies. It mainly describes what happens after the characters watch the movies, rather than what happens during the movies (like the characters feeling guilty or something). Anyway, there aren't many of these kinds of scenes, and the movie content isn't as detailed as in volumes 6 and 7. The main storyline doesn't stagnate because of watching movies.

    The first Re: Zero movie-watching story features Subaru Natsuki experiencing amnesia in the Sage's Tower, where a light screen appears, showing a short video before resting and then mimicking the actions of someone who has just finished watching. It's not a continuous movie-watching experience, so the pace is slower; the movie only reaches the Sanctuary arc. However, it's still quite enjoyable. Subaru even receives a reward of being able to go home for a period each week because of the video shown on the light screen. The second book also features movie-watching. The light screen is created by a system obtained by an Earthling. Subaru Natsuki is pulled into the system space by the system's protagonist when he first transmigrates from the convenience store to watch his own movie. This book allows everyone in the Re: Zero world to watch, making it accessible to everyone except a few acquaintances. It also allows viewing from other anime, game, and novel worlds. Even Subaru's parents see the story, and it's an uncut version. In short, the viewing pace is fast, already reaching the Minato arc, and it faithfully recreates the highlights of the novel; I cried several times while watching it. The third book features a protagonist who transforms into the Pokémon Zyraora and travels to the Re: Zero world. However, the protagonist hasn't watched Re: Zero, so they only know that Subaru Natsuki is from the same hometown. The character descriptions are excellent, with no out-of-character (OOC) elements, and the plot is very reasonable, making it worth reading. The fourth book, "Natsuki Subaru Becomes a Sage in the Tower," is a Subaru and Shaura pairing story. This one is truly amazing; I'd believe it if you said it was written by Tappei Nagatsuki. I don't know how many times I cried while reading it. The author must have read everything related to Re: Zero, otherwise, how could the plot be so logical? Anyway, it's really good; you can tell by looking at the ratings and reviews. The fifth book is "The Forgotten Twins' Viewing," where the Twins finally appear in a viewing. The Twins haven't appeared in other Re: Zero viewings. This one is very well-written, with viewers from various timelines of the Re: Zero world watching, making it quite interesting. As the only remaining Twins character, I recommend everyone to watch it. The sixth book is the least OOC and most reasonable novel among the viewings. Although it's very well-written, it sacrifices update speed, taking several days to write one chapter. If you don't mind following the updates, I suggest reading it.

    The first five books all feature transmigrators as protagonists. The first one, "Subaru I Love" (?), Has a very likable protagonist—a talkative little magician! Although seemingly unreliable, he's surprisingly dependable and has a strong sense of realism. Except for the first two times he died and lost his memory, he retains it throughout the series. The protagonist possesses mysterious and wonderful abilities. It has original plot elements—Merlin warning! Although it's titled "Subaru I Love," the protagonist genuinely loves Subaru. The writing is good, and the character and plot development are well done, but unfortunately, there's too little development, leaving many foreshadowing elements. The second book, as the title suggests, features a protagonist who loves Subaru and doesn't care about anyone else. He's Subaru's strongest demon protector, and becomes stronger every time Subaru dies. The writing is weaker than the first book, but the protagonist's character is quite compelling. The author includes other subplots, and the first ten chapters are a bit awkward, but it gets quite enjoyable later. The third book is one I recently read, and the writing is also excellent. The protagonist is a psychopath (truly psychopathic), with various personalities and abilities similar to daydreaming coming true. There are various memes strung together, and the character feels very real. However, the protagonist is gender-swapped; those who dislike this should avoid it. Updates are stable, but too infrequent. The fourth book, as the title suggests, uses a gender-swapped version of Gojo Satoru as the protagonist's template, but it's not a direct gender-swapped Gojo Satoru! Don't mistake the protagonist for Gojo Satoru. It involves marriage/reincarnation; those who dislike this should avoid it! The writing is decent, and the plot seems acceptable so far. The romance mainly revolves around the protagonist x 486. It's based on Subaru TV, and updates are stable. The fifth book features two protagonists and is completed. The two protagonists' abilities are MC (Mortal Creatures). Except for the first time they died and returned without memory, they all have memories of their deaths. Even if they have special identities and are informed of their death return abilities, Satella won't squeeze their hearts. The writing is good, the plot is unique, and the setting is novel. I recommend the sixth book, "Ai Subaru TV." The writing is decent, the protagonist's setting is mysterious, but the character design is adorable, and the interactions with Subaru are cute. It's a lighthearted story (?). Updates are stable but infrequent. Those who like this kind of thing can check it out.
