WELCOME to the final volume of a series that had trouble deciding on a consistent tone.

So this is really just the wrap up stuff. Surprise amnesia! Also ok maybe Ranaef IV wasn't awful exactly. Maybe. Poor Eclipse.

I did like that this was a strong call back to how this all began as well as an indication on how clever Ranaef V has gotten.

Um but the entire town might now be gone and it does worry me that Ranaef doesn't seem bothered that his Thieves Guild buddies potentially died.

We also get an epilogue about what Erutis is up to (Krayon in tow as a lovesick puppy, I love it), and the fact Chris did not learn his lesson at all (that poor High Cleric will never get to retire).

WAIT WE LITERALLY NEVER GOT RESOLUTION ABOUT CHRIS REMEMBERING WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS TOWN. The High Cleric and god Rased both thought it would be a really bad moment when Chris regained his memories...but he never did.

And wait so what is Erutis' backstory???

AND HOW CAN RANAEF BE A DEMON LORD IF HE REFUSES TO DO THE DEMON LORD SHIT??

Not to mention I don't want to remember that Ranaef and Eclipse (and Krayon) will live long loves past Chris and Erutis.

UGH THIS SERIES WHERE ARE MY RESOLUTIONS?… (més)

WELCOME to the Fourth volume of what is sure to bring my heart soon.

Mild correction we had wrapped up how Eclipse and Raenef met (ew blood, ew gross) as well as met a new Demon Lord (Krayon) at the end of volume 3. Volume 4 is basically devoted to Krayon being a poor loser and Raenef getting his Edgelord in.

We get a good inkling of just how... dangerous Raenef is as he turns Edgelord, with a great deal of confusion since...why I'd the puppy so mean now?

Also I feel like Eclipse list the battle to make Raenef a great and terrible demon lord when they adopted two humans who constantly belittle their efforts.

AND BOOKS DON'T MAKE YOU DEADLY FOR NO REASON. even if it did warn Raenef first.… (més)

WELCOME to the fifth volume of this crazy ride called Demon Diary - and to the actual plot doing plot things.

So a book turned Ranaef cold and evil (aka a "True Demon Lord")...which no one likes. Least of all Eclipse.

Sadly that Ranaef is AN ADORABLE PUPPY compared to the TRUE RANAEF that shows up at the end Apparently curses are difficult things to circumvent and instead of, yanno, actually killing Ranaef IV, they sort of summoned his son born 3500 years later to do the job for them. Sort of.

Look I don't remember this at all and if 34 year old Lexie is having issues you can be DAMN SURE 19 year old Lexie didn't understand.

Anyhow Eclipse looks Mondo unhappy, Erutis is confuzzled and Chris is just...conflicted.… (més)

WELCOME as we embark upon volume 2 of this series. In this volume we meet Chris, the one day High Cleric of Rased who is one egomaniacal threat away from being the villain of the world.

We changed writers in this volume, though the tone stays pretty much the same. COMEDY, darkness, COMEDIC DEATH THREATS, horrifying realities of being a demon lord. So forth abd so in.

Erutis takes something of a back seat here since we spend a good chunk of the book watching Raenef fumble around and not get treated like a serious Demon Lord.

He's such a PUPPY. So happy to meet people and have new playmates. Poor Eclipse has become a den mother...(Eclipse's and Chris's master/adoptive father Hajem, current Head Cleric, spend some amusing moments commiserating over the fact they both have such DUMB guys to watch over.)

By the end Eclipse is stuck with another mouth to feed.… (més)
