Series: In Another World With My Smartphone – 4th volume
Author: Patoru Fuyuhara
Comments: Touya continues on his journey to gain more influence and power in this world. The pacing has increased somewhat significantly compared to past volumes and he achieves a lot. The volume starts off by exploring more into the various pieces of Babylon sub-arc and this is probably one of the series’ most interesting arc. It helps that it teases a mysterious character and reveals quite a bit more about the strange powerful crystal monsters that had been appearing. Then it moves on to a slice-of-life theme as Touya opens up a business before upping the pacing once again with a ton of action. As Touya goes ahead and saves another country, naturally he gains even more followers. Touya is too powerful for his own good. While one of the highlights is to see how he combines his various powers in clever ways to defeat enemies, at the same time, there’s a limit to how much goodwill you give as a viewer for a character how has it just so good. Nevertheless, Touya is still likeable, if a bit too modest and humble. The dynamic between the various heroines are always fun to watch, it gives the whole series a fun adventurous tone. The most important aspect is though, it is an enjoyable read and makes you eager for more.
