How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord: Volume 2 (How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (light novel)) Paperback – February 5, 2019

Awesome fun and way better then the anime… I’m getting the others can wait. So the thing needs more words

Diablo seems like a decent guy, doesn't want to hurt or kill anyone, doesn't take advantage of the females, etc... But has to keep up the charade into order to communicate with all around him. I hope future adventuring actually gets them to travel.

Shera, one of Diablo's two "slaves," is the princess of the elves and her brother, Keera, wants her back. The Elvish royal family believes in keeping their bloodline pure, and he's eager to ensure the next generation continues with his sister. But she wants none of that.It's up to Diablo to navigate the political relationshions between the humans and elves while protecting Shera. She doesn't want to get that close to her brother, she wants to live her life free of her people's desires. Will she get her freedom, or will Keera use diabolical means.This was an interesting light novel. There were some twists and turns and some setup for some interesting things going forward. There were a few naughty delights, but this was mostly story as Diablo realizes the problems with being so powerful.It's a fun read. You should check it out!

While i enjoyed the book and the twist of why everyone's level is so low, The demon lord 'Role Play' ruined the overall feel of the book.I know it is a minor thing but having the main character lean on his demon lord role play caused completely stupid misunderstandings or him to say things opposite of what he intended. A better way to write that is to have him decide to role play regardless because it is a game and note that a demon lord would act a certain way until eventually he realizes it is not a game and his actions have consequences that affect people. another way to tackle it is to have the MC say things demon lord like against his will or conscious effort because his character Diablo has his own personality and is slowly taking over the MC's personality.I would recommend just reading 'Overlord' if you have not as that series handles the conflict between Suzuki Satoru slowly becoming Momonga/Ainz very well is a great series overall. If you liked the idea of a nice guy with bad publicity i would recommend 'The Rising of the Shield Hero' as the MC is a hero tasked with saving a world that actively hates and shuns him all without a weapon to attack with. And 'Demon King Daimaou' which is about a boy aiming to be a High priest But instead is prophesied as a demon lord and his actions are frequently misunderstood.

When our shut in hero finds himself transported into the world of his favorite MMORPG and accidentally enslaves the two girls that summoned him, he finds himself in his demon lord persona. It’s fun to see “Diablo” learn the ways of this new world and forced to navigate personal relationships for the first time. It gets a little bogged bogged down in fan service (“Diablo” spends at least a couple times sort of innocently groping the girls he encounters) and I would love to see a little more character development, but other than that, this is a very enjoyable series, especially for those familiar with MMORPGs. I will be looking for the next installment when it is released.

For those who saw the anime.

Good story with decent writing, and I can relate to the main protagonist in more ways then I care to admit.

When Comparing the Anime to the Book, you will see that this Volume Begins on the 2nd half of the 3rd episode on the Anime, however as you see the anime you will also notice that for episodes 3 and 4 it continues to be as detailed as the book itself, but on episode 5 of the anime it just seems like the producer and the director just skimmed through the last parts of the book skipping many details that would make the anime more interesting.

Me encanta esta serie, ya me he leído los 12 volúmenes actuales pero no hay como tener la novela en físico.

It is good enough that I would read it again tomorrow if I had not already purchased the next book in the series.

Me gusta tanto esta novela que espero con ansias los siguientes tomos.

Really been enjoying this series, i totally recommend it

I have several iSekai novels and usually I enjoy the premise and development of their characters and stories. I purchased Volume 1 of this series and saw potential, a few annoying characteristics and plot devices used by the author but all in all I still wanted to proceed with the next volume. Volume 2, disappointed me entirely. The mains characters persona is created as a defensive mechanism due to the MC's social insecurities and its fine to an extent but the author makes his character contradict himself literally every single paragraph with his inner monologue, every single plot line, every single conversation. The MC is insecure,uncertain and sometimes realizes the correct approach but disregards it entirely for the sake of his "created persona" which he doesn't actually respect either. I could understand the struggle of trying to be himself and attempting to use this new persona he hides behind but it is brought up repeatedly. The story is forced slower and slower because of this struggle. It should be improving based on the time hes been involved in the story and with each new volume. But it felt so redundant, so unsatisfying, it became excruciating to read. On another note, the main character is given power beyond the entire populace, with potentially no fear of death and constantly complains that he still lacks information on this world but never takes any initiative to test anything out or learns extremely slowly. I feel in order to make the character "appeal" to a wider audience of not being the "OP" character in an iSekai novel but it just comes off irritating.
