Kyo has escaped to another world with the Spirit Tortoise's power. Translation issues are slightly less of an issue in this volume, although still present, but at least it feels like stuff has been run thru an editor this time. On the other hand though, the writer's poor skills at character development continues to be the major downside of this series, as the MC's monologue is pretty much insufferable, with constant griping and issues of trust, despite the sense of adventure the overall story tries hard to portray.īecause of the stubborn adherence to the single POV presentation, no matter how many new characters the author introduces, it pretty much reduces them in to 2-dimensional stereotypes for most cases, which is such a waste. ![]() The major upside of this volume is showcasing the author's world-building, albeit abbreviated in the course of trying to cram in Eastern Japanese influences while mixing with the original Western-inspired fantasy settings from the prior volumes. Didn't expect it to really happen but wow, they put an isekai in an isekai novel! Interestingly, the Shield Hero actually finds himself crossing worlds yet again in his heroism and we are introduced to yet another new world. ![]()

This book is part of the series of novels titled Voyages Extraordinaires, which also includes Verne's classics Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) and Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea (1870).
