Who needs physical bookstores or libraries anymore? It's so cool that searching for something to read can turn into a multi-platform adventure. Now days, online fiction can be found on many websites, forums, and even apps. If you're willing to put in the time and become an online sleuth, the thrill of the search is a lot of fun. And when you finally find the story you're looking for after spending a lot of time searching, and the first chapter loads up after you click on the link you found, it's such a relief. I hope your ad-blocker is working well, your search operators are precise, and the story isn't on hiatus forever. Good luck! Report back on your findings.

This simple question for “is there an anime” ignited so much discussion regarding direction, voice acting, production studio, cultural background and market potential. It is clear how much affection and respect there is for this story and how the community is already creating their own version of an anime in their heads.
Thanks for asking and please spread this to other fans! While there is no corporate announcement for this anime, we fans are part of this story’s lifecycle right now. We are the fandom even before an official adaptation is produced. Thank you for helping to discuss and prove that this concept has legs. Proven interest in an idea is how entertainment is often created, so keep the discussion going!

So where do you read it? Google directs you to a site on a given day. In the changing online environment for translations, one site is removed and another is added within a week or so. So you read it online wherever it is that day. The story itself is about embracing the chaos in the universe and tackling bureaucracy. It’s a wonderful harmony. As long as you have an adequate ad blocker, don’t click on any flashing ‘download’ buttons on the sites and use a browser that you don’t really care about, all’s well for art. This is a modern, existential comedy classic of a story about a ghostly office worker. It’s worth a bit of risk.

Only on chapter 78! Try to keep spoilers out of this post, please. I was just browsing around because of the title, and I have to say, the book is so far really good.

This ending is an interesting rejection of spectacle. Here’s a character who wants to become a public spectacle, an awful, grotesque thing to be used as a teaching tool. Even that would be good for Joe, because even that would be something with a purpose, connecting him to the rest of the world. But instead the authorities choose to conceal him. The spectacle that Joe wishes to be is too true, too disturbing for the world to look at. Instead he is forced into a private spectacle, witnessed by no one but the reader. And in that sense the book is the very exhibit that Joe had wished to be. An interesting move on the part of the author. He implicates us, the readers of this book, in the actions and inactions of the characters in the book. And, of course, he implicates the person reading the book itself. A heavy burden to carry. But that’s what Trumbo wanted to do with this book. He wanted to make us aware of this person, and to make us responsible for him, as the world has failed to do.

It’s one of those stories where the MC has no idea how creepy she actually is. She thinks she's just living out a fantasy novel plot, but from everyone else's POV it’s basically a ghost story.

I agree with you though that the biggest element of this ending is far and above the criticisms of the plot, and that is the line Angie says to Leon in this scene: “You can complain all you want, but you’re stuck with us now.” He’s stuck with the title, the work, and the people. And, despite his typical grumbling, I don’t think he’d trade it for the world. It’s a beautiful scene of acceptance, classically delivered in tsundere fashion.

This all makes sense because Rimuru’s unique skill, ‘Great Sage’ (later Raphael), had been trying to figure out the requirements for becoming a Demon Lord since the beginning of the story. All this time he just didn’t have the data or energy to make it happen. The ending therefore isn’t a choice Rimuru made, but rather a very natural occurrence that was triggered by extreme circumstances. And because the skills in this world are what define the possible, this presents a number of complex moral questions. Was this his fault, or was he just following the rules of the world in which he lives? The characters are torn in both directions in the ending.

In terms of being based on a true story, this is clearly a work of fiction but the premise is an extrapolation of what modern war does to the human body, and so in that sense, the book is ‘true’ in terms of plot (as an extrapolation) and in terms of detail (the medical and psychological detail is terrifyingly plausible and so doesn’t feel ‘made up’ in the sense that some other fiction does). The truth of the book (i.e. that it could have happened to anyone) is based on the real effects of shelling and machine guns on the human body and so while there is no ‘person’ like Joe in the book, every detail of his helplessness is based on reality.
