Title: No Game No Life Vol. 4
Series: No Game No Life - 4th volume
Author: Yuu Kamiya
Read Before: no
Comments: After conquering the Werebeasts, Sora and Shiro just wanted some downtime but ends up being approached a Plum, a Dhampir (i.e. vampire) to save her race, along with the Sirens (i.e. mermaids). They are roped into another game with the promising outcome of acquiring two more races for their empire. The first half of the book is more lighthearted, with plenty of jokes. However, the sexual nature has been toned up to a high degree, which seemed unusual considering previous volumes managed to not cross the line. If you can ignore that, then you’ll enjoy the humor. The second half of the book has Sora and his ever growing group attempt the game and while you feel something is off, you have the confidence that Sora and Shiro will be able to come out on top. Little did you suspect that the complexity of the plot would blow up to significant proportions? Once the big revelations were let loose in the end of the book, it leaves you wanting more, and you come to realize that the plot ended up being quite elaborate and complex. Sadly, the volume ends in a cliffhanger and it seemed to be the start of a multi-volume story arc, which is about the only negative as you don’t get to immediately see the resolutions.
Rating: 6.5/10
