I understand if the author wants to flesh out their characters' stories, but putting a bunch of short stories into one book and selling it as a novel just doesn't feel worth it. I felt like a lot of the shorts could've just been put in at the end of the books as a way to give interesting snippets about the characters. putting it in this volume as a whole doesn't really grab my attention.

like, it's OK, but the last novel left off on a cliffhanger only to shaft us here with a bunch of side stories. Good ones, but nonetheless, they are side stories. Don't expect to get back to Rimuru here I appreciate what the author was trying to do, but it didn't hit for me. If you have read Mushoku Tensei, think Redundancy but without Rudeus and just a bunch of side characters that doesn't advance the plot too much. Personally, it wasn't worth the price of 8.99, but I've got such a deal with the other novels. I can't complain too much, I suppose

While the side stories were nice, I really wish that there was actual plot development between the side stories. this book could be described as "filler". It certainly wasn't bad and it did deepen our understanding of the current cast, but none of the plot lines really affected the main story at all.
