Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari Season 3 Episode 8 Discussion

@MasterHavik The fight with the turtle on the LN is amazing, it has a rather big scale, you feel it is an immense task, they cut tons of scenes of that for S2. There is one where Naofumi has to defend against the Turtle's beam attack and you feel the grim nature of it all, so that is something I wanted to see on S2, but they butchered it so much... not to say the writing in the LN is amazing, but it has its moments.

Besides, while reading the LN, what sells you the most is feeling like you are into RPG, at least with Naofumi's choices, the stuff he acquires, the monologues of what he acquired, etc. That is over time what I liked the most of the LN, since the best volume in terms of impact is the first one.

So while there a lot of slower-paced, more boring scenes, like Naofumi focusing on his territory and developing his "slaves", it is a mostly pleasant read due to the addictive nature it can get, when you go deep into the RPG aspects the series has, that you can see with the LN.
When I say RPG I don't mean about choices, but rather the MC getting new skills and weapons, etc.

There are a few isekais that are way better than Tate no Yuusha, quality of writing I feel ReZero or Mushoku Tensei have way more impactful and meaningful scenes and better character development, not to even touch the world-building.
But if you like gaming and RPGs, Tate's LN at one point can become addictive to read, but of course, it is not for everyone.
