woah seriously the anime adaptation has some nerve to make that quite twisted story line far from how the LN suppose to be (including those filler in ep1), the comic adaptation also skipping some stories in it but still making those entire volume 1 story from LN part become past main key story (hope this part appears in ep3). but this, especially that golem fight and the place that golem appeared that supposed to be still far ahead in LN way after their graduation from hunter's school arc that should be one of key to the future story with some epic story telling on how they figure out the methode to defeat it with both Mile & Maevis team work that still no one knows how to, become it's a simple mobs coming out of nowhere in anime. Same with how Mile fixing Maevis's sword as well. And stone thumb flicking that mile used also absent from when they hunt those rabbits.

apart from all of that, it's still fun and interesting story with light joke in it for anyone who's not following the LN. Let's see how the producer twisting more and more stories for later ep combining early part of the LN and later part into 1 story with new filler and story line with it, also will this adaptation will entirely be a cute funny adventure type or bit some twisted dark and cutely gruesome personality.

frustration note : what's with that Nanomachine!! seriously it should be freaking tiny round shape machine like robot, but end up with that animal fairy doll looking with word N in its forehead! come on seriously!? (it'll become no way in slightest that it has any connections with how the story about this kind of Nanomachine will tell us in future)

After watching episode 1, I thought “well, it’s still better than the Arifureta adaptation…” Now I’m not so sure. I realize that adapting prose to a visual medium such as anime requires changes to be made, but many of the ones so far have not really improved the story. At best, they might make it slightly more accessible to viewers who are new to the series.

I would encourage those who are enjoying the anime (and even those who are not) to read the light novel as well. If things continue as the first 2 episodes have gone, the anime will be a pale shadow of the LN, likely as much a letdown as Arifureta was. At least the art is better.

@Rx8391kmh – Don’t forget that the kidnapping in episode 1 was from volume 7 of the LN, which only came out a couple months ago (in North America anyway). And it happened to a different girl. In a different country. And that Arledy is a completely new anime-only character. Probably there are quite a few other differences that I didn’t notice as well. I haven’t read the early volumes in a while.

It’s definitely one of my favorite light novels. FUNA wrote another good one (available in English) called I Shall Survive Using Potions, also with a female MC and the same sort of tone and plenty of references as well. I don’t know whether there are plans to adapt it to anime, but check out the LN. You can read the first part of each volume for free at the publisher’s site that I linked.

@Superns18 – Probably, but the female cast makes it quite a bit different from the typical isekai series that carries itself largely on fan service. I’m getting a bit tired of reading isekai light novels myself, and wish they would publish some other stuff too, but I really enjoy reading this one.

the LN falls off after vol 5 unfortunately which is common with FUNA

That's a popular opinion, though it depends on what you're expecting from it. I had hoped that this new plotline that started emerging a couple volumes ago would be explored a little further, a little faster, but I didn't find the last couple volumes to be a letdown. It's certainly not like Potions where, at the end of volume 2, I thought "Um, ok. The story is done. Is there any reason for volume 3?" Abilities is a lot more character-driven than other light novel series I've read, so I'm still enjoying it.
