This book wrapping up all of the open ends in the story feels both very pleasant to read but also pretty sad on a deeper level. I really don't want the main story to end but there needs to be a last chapter eventually or it'll lose its greatness.

Rozemyne's future plans for Alexandria must have been quite a shock to those nobles, bet they didn't think the Saint of Yurgenschmidt is a Gremlin. Which brings me to wonder how fast books will spread now that she does not have borrowed authority but actual direct authority over the entire duchy. I'm afraid Ferdinand et al will have plenty of work making her reconsider book plans that would put the duchy's vital industries (like farming) at risk.

Not to sound like a downer but another thing I'm gonna miss is prepub discussions. There is side stories, manga, and upcomming anime. But I'm not sure if they will garner the same type of discussion like with prepubs.

Out of curiosity do you know of any other lightnovels that is active like bookworm or is this more of a one of deal?

you're not alone with that concern, it's on my mind as well. As for your question I'd have to check over at [email protected] but my gut feeling says if we want another novel to discuss we'll have to find it ourselves

Edit: luckily the way this instance is set up allows for a shift to other stories as well, so maybe this place can turn into a general book instance

Thanks for the suggestion 👍

No thank you for bringing it to my conscious attention, I'll probably create a discussion meta post about where to go with this instance post main series to gather some thoughts on the matter.
