Publisher Description
Kazuma's first winter in another world isn't going so well. With companions like Aqua (Arch-priest), Megumin (Arch-wizard), and Darkness (Crusader), his party of advanced classes should be the most powerful in Axel--but they're so dysfunctional, even the easiest-seeming quest goes terribly awry, and they can barely save enough to afford a stable! When an opportunity arises to stay in a mansion, it's like a dream come true--the only catch is that they have to exorcise the evil spirits haunting it. Goddess Aqua is an expert with the undead, so the quest should be a piece of cake, right...? Unfortunately, with this useless goddess, things have a way of working out for the worst...
Customer Reviews
Still bad, Still don’t regret reading
The follow on to the previous volume has improved over the original but still suffers from the same flaws. It grasps for originality by parodying similar works and ends up becoming them, with the humor falling flat at times. The book improves drastically in the last chapter where the existing world building and name drops from earlier start to gel together and the author finally creates what he sets out to do. It may be that this series is more of an investment in the long term as the mess the author creates snowballs into something you can’t look away from. Despite my misgivings, I didn’t mind reading it and will be picking up the next one. The translation is, again, well done with a few oddities (General Winter for Winter Shogun as an example) that don’t detract from anything.
