Skeleton Knight in Another World (Light Novel) Vol. 5

I find myself enjoying this LN. Some out there apparently don’t like it but overall I think it’s a realistic LN of what a somewhat hardcore gamer would be dropped into. He doesn’t remember all of his old spells and the names of things he can summon which perhaps has sapped a decent amount of his potential strengths. But I think the author is doing a good job on following him and building up the world around him. I’m able to follow most of the world that Arc travels around and I find it genuine that he’s more concerned about his curse and food than money. Perhaps the most realistic thing is that he doesn’t have any type of broken skill like a magical infinite inventory or unrealistic passive abilities that make him untouchable.

I like the premise, characters, overall plot, and world building. What I do not care all that much for is getting too engrossed in side issues or unnessecary little things. It ruins the flow of storytelling. Feels clunky. It was fine for the first three books, but these last two have been chores to read. Not sure what happened between point A and point B, but if we don't pick up the overall plot and start moving it along, I'm going to wander away from this one. It's not enough fun to read to stick around to find out what happens next. Pity, as the whole setup has quite a bit of potential.

My main reason for give 4 stars is due to the feeling that the story was very short with barely a glimpse at life in the southern continent. This feels more like just a break from the rest of the story.Other then that we got some character development for both Chiyome and Arc with a bit of a closer look at Chiyome's past.We also got a glimpse at the darker side of the Hilk

This isn't a ground-breaking series but it's harmless fun adventures and slice of life. If you liked the earlier volumes enough to read them all you won't be blown away by this one, but you probably won't be disappointed either. It's more of the same but that's not always a bad thing.

I really enjoyed reading about how the MC and his group explore their fantasy world and the magical warfare and creature violence were awesome. Looking forward to volume six.

I enjoyed this book and read it fairly quickly. I am interested in where the story is going. Will get the next book.

I kove where the series is heading and is really developing into something great

Good read

"Skeleton Knight" war von Anfang an eher eine Abenteuer Reihe in der Arc die Welt erkundet und hier und da mal irgendwen oder irgendwas bekämpft, aber da man auch immer die Nebengeschichten über politische Machtkämpfe hatte, wartete ich darauf das mal mehr passiert und Arc in diese Geschichten integriert wird und nicht mehr nur mehr oder weniger passiver Beobachter ist. Leider hält Band 5 weiter den Status Quo aufrecht. Arc reist auf der Jagd nach Tomaten zu einem anderen Kontinent, bekämpft am Ende kurz mal wieder etwas und das wars.Natürlich sind die Welt und die Charaktere weiterhin gut, aber wenn man nicht gerade ein großer Fan dieses Abentuer und Erkundungs Formats ist wird es auf lange Sicht doch etwas eintönig. Ich hoffe nach wie vor auf mehr, aber nach 5 Bänden sinkt der Enthusiasmus doch etwas. Zumindest scheinen nun auch mächtigere Parteien auf Arc aufmerksam zu werden, also vielleicht...
