| HOLY FUCKING WHAT?! MY FUCKING FAVORITE SERIES IS ENDING AT 24 VOLUMES?! FUCK! NO NO NO NO! ... Thank you, Rifujin-sama. Now then, I'm gonna read this novel to the end. As they say, all good things come to an end. Mushoky Tensei is another great example of that saying. |

As they say, all good things come to an end. Mushoky Tensei is another great example of that saying. The ending is bad-ass and fitting/satisfying for all the effort he's done. Rudi is just the best, but it's sad that his story is over. If it makes you feel any better, we're still going to get plenty of content from the author like character progression of Rudi's kids and some slice-of-life stuff released as 1-2 chapters per month. As long as Rudi is mentioned in one form or another, I'd be extremely happy. What's crazy to even think about is that in the grand scheme of things, Rudi's 24 volume journey is just a prequel that sets up the events for the big fight since Rudi can't experience it in his lifetime. A new hero will take up the next mantle, but people are already bashing him since he's going to be a generic hero with a harem vibe. It won't be the same, but Rudi's journey was truly epic in its own right. Mushoku Tensei is one of the most popular web novels in Japan - even considered to be the most popular since it's been at the top for two years straight ever since it was on Narou (popular self-published novel site that includes Overloard and Log Horizon), and the author knows that there is just too much content that still needs to be done which I'm greatly excited for. |

Scholek said: The ending snuck up on me. I was thinking there would be something like 3-7 more volumes or something. BAMN there it is. I'm tingling in anticipation of the translations. Pretty much. I-I'm so not satisfied with this! I'm currently reading the translated chapters in Volume 23 and I can't imagine how they the Author ended it that fast? So I think its safe to assume Gisu died and that's it? I was expecting more like Rudeus going to the Mouth of the Red dragon's lair or the Heaven continent,Him officially becoming a Major rank power,etc. How about development for the other characters? There could have been so much more with the remaining years in Rudeus life. This is all so surreal and coming on to me too fast...I don't know what to say and just making up excuses. ;~; Anyway,I'll guess there will be a Sequel and one of Rudeus child will be the Protagonist? FUCK I MISS RUDEUS ALREADY AND I HAVEN"T READ THE LAST VOLUME YET. |

| Do you guys think this is the last we will hear from Rudeus? Its a first in a story for me to witness an unresolved plotpoint not getting uncovered by the Protagonist. Who brought Rudeus to the other world? (Or was it already resolved but not yet translated.) Without a doubt it would be revealed in the Sequel from Nanahoshi or that other guy perspectives. Feels lackluster with Rudeus being out of the picture and not knowing the whole truth. Damn,I wonder if they somehow put Resurrect Rudeus in the future or some shit. Put his soul in another body? maybe. The last chapter called "The after life" is giving me those vibes. Yeah,I'm in denial that his story is over and the Sequel wouldn't be the same if the Protagonist is one of his children or Nanahoshi,etc. |

Warbandit18 said: Think the author should have included a extra volume cause a whopping 30/40 year time skip is gonna put some people off. It seems its hinted that rudeus is probably gonna get resurected or just passing on. So for the final fight only sylph and roxy wll be alive with the children and Eris will not make it cause she is also old as rudeus. I hope that if there is a sequel that they wont butcher the main charachters from the prequel. PS:Funny thing is that the author even said in a interview around 2014 that the rudeus story is a gaiden for a much bigger main story and that rudeus is just a side charachter with alot of background. Forsome reason i still find that annoying that a charachter like rudeus is considered a side charachter by the author while his story is 24 volumes long and went really deep. Rudeus is more of a charachter between main and side. lolwut Won't be the same with our references from the previous world! |
| |
That's good to hear. Can't wait for that new story, damn. This was one hell of a prequel. Author's got some big ambitions. .. I only have three words for this. What the fuck? |

| Finally the ending. Tears were swelling up in the first chapter but then my disposition changed into confusion with the next chapter lol. Little bit shocked that Aisha married to some random buffoon,I'm expecting Norn to marry Ruijerd..well they did say it was "a bit complex". Or is that too much complexity? There was so much thing to talk about like Ariel's....Five concubine...wuuut whhhaay!? Anyway,I will truly miss Rudeus Greyrat,That was some bad ass farewell to Hitogami right there. OH AND I SHOULDN"T HAVE FORGOTTEN. Roxy finding her panties after all these years in Rudeus's pockets haha! That was golden. |
| |
| Damn, that was one hell of a ride. Confirmed official ending to the series. I feel like i've been putting my life into this, watching one person grow over the course of a lifetime. Rudeus had kids that had kids that had kids, Norn and Aisha got married... It's really sad seeing everything fly by. Over that time I got attached to so many characters and now it's ended with Rudeus leaving a legacy. By the way, there is no sequel involving a different main character. The author stated that Mushoku Tensei was strictly about the life of Rudeus Greyrat only. There is a possibility that the author could continue in the same setting with a different title but don't expect too much. Final volume was translated by Kaezar and crew for anyone wanting to read it. Thanks to the author ;) |

To be honest,I care little since its not about Rudeus Greyrat anymore but that would be a shame if he intents do leave it like that..an open ending.He might have thrown himself into a loop with the confusing time travel stuff coupled with keeping a close eye on the many many characters Haha. Had a foreshadowing that it might be like this with one of his notes saying that he might Retire or take a long vacation. Anyway,Not like a I give a Rat's ass and I just want the Redundancy chapters haha :D |

| That was one hell of an explanation for Rudeus' reincarnation. Damn Miko with her insane powers. I found Akito's summoning to be kinda funny. Gets summoned to a fantasy world to fight the demon lord. Sounds like a generic premise for some generic light novel, but what do ya know... he doesn't power up and dies. |

| I haven't felt 'PADS' this badly in over 2 years since TTGL. I do think there were some corners cut for explanations, especially about the Miko and the biography(although this was probably just for fun and recap). I wasn't really satisfied for the reason why he reincarnated, mostly because of the lack of foreshadowing. Still, Mushoku Tensei was an amazing ride and I'm glad to have read it. I hope the author continues to write about the world or create another story because he clearly knows what he's doing. |
| eris::( rudy :( I would like the new main character to be someone from rudeus' and eris' bloodline, male ofc, not that akito guy |
 |
| That was a great ride, I'm quite satisfied but more Mushoku Tensei is never a bad thing. Cheers |
| now i kinda feel empty... and sad... what should i do now o_o |

| What if the end of Rudeus Greyrat's story is just his name? He could get reincarnated with another name or a new mc be born with his "mana" when he disappeared from the White Space. Hitogami said it, that when someone dies, his mana go to a newborn but Rudeus could be different, a baby with his characteristics and power could be born without memories, just a legacy, he isn't Rudeus and he will never going to get memories of his pastlife. Sorry for my bad english. |

Sorry for my bad english. Honestly I want him to get reincarnated again. That should have been the part where he got reborn,When Magic has developed a lot more due to his Theory and Stronger Magicians are all over the place and whatnot. But then again that's all thanks to Rudeus so it wouldn't have happened without his Theory on enlarging Magic factor at an early age and Voiceless incantations can only be learned at a young age as well.. Just a real shame Rudeus is the only OP Magician in his time so it was mostly Mage vs Swordsman and I can't imagine someone replacing Rudeus and his antics,References from the old world lol. |

LastChapter said: ShInIgAmIRipper said: What are you even talking about? The series already has a sequel being written, albeit it is a side story sequel: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n4251cr/Mushoku Tensei will not have a sequel ever ever in the future or even in the parallel world or even in rudeus's world ... tbh this story will still move on but the author will release a new WN with a new name so just start searching for the novel on Naoru or Syosetsu atleast 1 or 2 years later ... by author's name. He stated that MT is about Rudeus life and that He would continue on to complete the main plotline As for the direct sequel continuing the plot of the main story, the author stated he will write one and teased Mushoku Tensei was just the start of the endgame. "This brings to an end the story of Rudeus Greyrat, a former unemployed NEET. Although we were shown the future of Hitogami’s defeat, the future may change so the fight between Hitogami and various people will still continue. However, the story of Mushoku Tensei itself tells the tale of Rudeus Greyrat only, so please let me have the privilege of ending the story now." I think he stated that Mushoku Tensei is over, he's going to write some side stories and that'll be it. I think that's fine, I can't think of a character that could replace Rudi. Hitogami is defeated in his visions, we get the backstory on how everything went back down and he dies in peace with no regrets. It's a great ending, if anything a sequel would degrade this series value in my eyes. |
| So anyone has any idea on what Orstred looks like? Is it that white haired dude in Kaezertranslation's site? |

| This was an awesome series... It was longer than anything I've read in terms of story covered and how long it felt, and it was like reading and witnessing someone's life. It is kind of sad that they never sorted out Nanahoshi returning, the aftermath of Rudi's death in his original world or anything else from the original world. It would have been nicer if the story continued more after the final battle and before the time skip. Though this just shows how hooking the story is. |
When I was looking at him, one woman stood up from their group. That child, who was sitting among them as if hiding herself, should be called a girl rather than a woman. A girl with blue hair. Near her, a gigantic white wolf was waiting. Ah, I felt like I’d seen her somewhere before. She looked like Roxy. But she wasn’t Roxy. I am certain that she’s from the Migurd Race, but I could never mistake someone for Roxy. Then, just who is she? Don’t tell me......Lara? As I pondered, she faced towards me and waved her hand. No, it couldn’t be me. She’s probably waving her hand to Hitogami who was behind me. When she did, the man beside her started talking with her. Perhaps he was asking what she was doing. She answered something to him and then that man turned this way with a surprised face. He also had an Oriental face. People with faces like that were few in this world. Perhaps he’s Japanese? He might be in his 20s....doesn’t feel like he’s in his 30s. He faced this way and quickly bowed. His actions seemed Japanese, so he’s Japanese after all. Possibly. In doing so, all of them now faced this way. There were both young and old people. I thought that there were only 8 people at first, but it seemed that there was a whole crowd of them. Under the mist, it was hard to see. The only familiar face was Orsted but...... Ah, I wonder if that person is Eris. A warrior with braided red hair was looking this way. But she was a little different from Eris..... Each of them faced this way and bowed in gratitude. I wonder if it’s towards Hitogami. No, it’s a little different considering their manners. I wonder what. Its interesting that Rudeus's Soul or Spiritual body can actually be seen be Lara. Even though his Soul presumably returned back to the Mana itself when he died.(Maybe something happened after all? Reincarnation :3 nah.) Its quite nice thinking that Lara,Orstred and his descendants had a final bow of gratitude towards him. Feels~  I didn't notice this part when I first read it and only noticed on my second read. The details you overlooked... |
| My heart aches, this is the epitome of bittersweet. A masterpiece. I know I've incorporated some cynicism towards LN's over the years, but Mushoku Tensei was still able to move me so much. Isn't that what a person truly wants? Just being able to live life in full satisfaction? Anyway for all the hateful bile Japanese media tropes have gotten, this story does show even something that is so-called "wish-fulfilment" harem can still deliver a masterpiece. |
| just end reading the entire and i feel really empty now an also the biography somehow really funny (and the thing in Rudi's pocket whe he die really make me laugh) LOL ..... and also it is really sad because the Rudi that we witness the development from the really pervert child to really pervert old man (even when he die) LOL, i somehow want to see what the expression of Roxy when he found out the goddes artifact and i am also agree that there is no other character that can replace Rudi, with his golden perspective (sometimes really serious, really childish, and pervert) Thanks for the Ride, Rudeus Greyrat and Rifujin |

The story is nowhere near finished. http://thelordofpie.blogspot.com/ |
| Finally finished this. :) I was hoping the 4-way "battle" of Rudeus, Sylph, Roxy & Eris was described. XD Oh well. |
 |
| it will be good if rudeus get reincarnated/summoned again.. |
| "If you don’t like a rule… Just follow it… Reach the top… And change the rule." -adolf hitler |
| So in the end of that battle and volume, Rudeus became the Seventh Rank of the Seven Great World Powers. I had a feeling the story would conclude something like that ever since the idea was introduced in the second volume. Decent battle against but predictable outcome. I thought the series was alright overall, wasn't extraordinary though but the MC became more and more tolerable for me after his very bad impressions at first. Eris is also best girl imo and I usually can't stand girls like that. However, the chemistry she shared with Rudeus throughout the series was fun to see. |
 |
| Finished this the other day. It was amazing, one of the best reads I've ever had. I have to admit I teared up a lot reading the last volume. I loved Rudeus since the very beginning (since he acted like a normal human being of his mental age and position would do, even if a bit pervy) but he developed a lot during the series and I loved him even more. Yes, he's still a pervert, but a pervert that cares about his family and his friends. Having to bid farewell to Rudeus and the gang is really something sad...but as the author said the story of Rudeus Greyrat ends here (or maybe not? He didn't turn into mana, maybe he will come back some way or another) but the story of Mushoku Tensei keeps going on! Man that last chapter (Prologue Zero) was really something. I'm excited for the sequel and what's to come. Like, a lot. Now I'm reading the side stories and it's as great as ever. All in all it was an extremely good read (I love fantasy as a genre and I've read a lot of western fantasy) and MT is now proudly one of my favorite works. I'm glad I started this. Eris best girl, by the way. I ended up really liking Orsted, his line saying "For once I, too, want to fight believing in and trusting my comrades" portrayed that he got character development as well, even if it was a bit off-screen. It's the first loop in which he's able to have as many comrades and friends, after all. |

Story didn't end because Redundancy Chapters are still going (continuation after the final battle, Rudy's kids and how he prepares for the future "war").

I mean, it's side stories and while they are pretty good that's all, it's nowhere as good as volume 23, volume 15, volume 17 and 18 or volume 21 were IMHO When I say that the story of Rudeus Greyrat ended I meant that we got closure. We saw all his life from the moment he was born until he died of old age. Redundancy chapter just shows a little bit portion of his life but we've already got Rudeus's ending. |

| I'm not sure if I've ever read anything as consistently fun as this .Even my favorite anime have some boring parts that I want to get over with a times . Always entertaining .Right until the end . |
