A Wild Last Boss Appeared! Volume 2 & 3 review

Written by Firehead, illustrated by YahaKo.

The Bottom Line: This is where the fun begins.

This review is going to spend a lot more time on Volume 3, because Volume 2, well...I won't besmirch it by calling it filler, as it furthers the development of the world and lays out further assembling of the team, but it does feel like a very rote successor to Volume 1's structure. They go to places and solve problems, recruiting more members of Lufas's Twelve Heavenly Stars. I noted it, at the time of reading, as a marked improvement.

Volume 3 is a brisk novel however that contains a lot of development in the overarching plot. But it's also the funniest volume yet.

The summoned isekai Hero (introduced briefly in volume 2) gets a fair bit of focus, and honestly for being what is supposed to be the generic protagonist, he receives some good characterization.

Meanwhile, Lufas's free-wheeling "let's defeat the devil king by reuniting the old gang" plot is complicated by a series of worldbuilding revelations and the indication of something even larger happening. It's really difficult to evaluate without spoiling it, but I loved the reveals about what exactly is going on in the setting and how it fits into what we "know" from earlier volumes.

I will say there were a couple of uncomfortable moments — a dark skinned character is compared to a gorilla by the narration, and at another point dwarvish women are called "legal lolis". It took me out of the book for a moment, but I enjoyed the book otherwise.

I think the author has really hit their stride here in Volume 3 and is finally telling the story they want to tell.

Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta 1 Review

Official English Title: Wild Final Boss Appeared

Author: Firehead

Illustrator: YahaKo

Label: Earth Star Novel

Release Date: 15 February 2016

Note: this series follows a protagonist who is a man who was transported into a video game as a female character. Due to how the story portrays the character, I will be using he/him pronouns. I am cisgender and am not a expert when it comes to gender issues so let me know if I end up using any incorrect language.

Video games have long been a way for people to explore their identity outside of societal norms, especially for people who did not fit inside the gender binary. And, one day, I hope to see a series about a person who is transported into a game character with a different gender to them that reflects and explores this reality. But Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta is not that series. The protagonist, whose female avatar is called Lufasu (yes, it is a stupid name but there is no official English romanization and this is the one used in fan translations so I’m going with that), is treated as a man from start to finish. One of the first few pages has him state “I’m a man” and at one point he thinks “well, it’s natural for a man to want to protect a girl” when he decides to protect Dinah. He uses “ore” (a masculine pronoun) to refer to himself and doesn’t hesitate to remind the audience that he’s actually a man throughout the volume. The reason that he created a female avatar is because he thought he would be more motivated if he played as a cute girl. We also don’t see him struggle to feel comfortable in this new body nor does he try to make his appearance more masculine. This is disappointing but not unexpected. I’d really like to read a series like this actually explore gender and identity in the future.

Gender issues aside, the series is a pretty standard transported-into-a-video-game light novel. Lufasu is, of course, OP and the series spends some time explaining the game mechanics and showing his status every once in a while. It’s kind of bland and doesn’t do anything really interesting but it’s well-written with some nice pacing and some interesting elements, like the “novel” system that the video game uses. In the end, I couldn’t really get into it but it wasn’t bad and I think people who enjoy video game isekai series with OP protagonists will enjoy this.

Story:

Genre: Video game isekai, action, adventure, fantasy, gender bender isekai, over-powered protagonist

Exgate Online is an online game that the protagonist plays. His character, Lufasu, is known as one of the strongest characters in the game and is known as the “overlord” of the world in the game. One day, he’s about to log in, only to find something strange on the home screen. He is asked if he would like to start a new life and soon finds himself transported in the game as his character. 200 years have passed in-game since Lufasu’s last appearance and he must navigate his way though this world that is both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

Yasei no Last Boss ga Arawareta is not badly written. There’s actually some interesting stuff here like the game having a “novel” system that intergrates the player’s actions into the history of the game world leading to the protagonist to get nostalgic about places and people that he’s never interacted with because the “story” system created memories and events for Lufasu that he never experienced himself. Furthermore, the writing flows smoothly and the pacing is fine. But it’s still quite bland and doesn’t stand out from other series with this premise. The action scenes end up being boring because Lufasu is strong enough to one-hit KO most enemies, despite her having some cool magic spells that I would have liked to see more of. At the end of the day, the series isn’t badly written but it doesn’t really do anything interesting or cool with it’s setting and characters either. There is some foreshadowing for some stuff regarding Dinah that could potentially be interesting but I’m not interested in sticking around to find out either way.

Despite the cover, the volume is surprisingly free from any ecchi fanservice, harem or yuri elements. There is no ecchi in the volume and Dinah is really the only potential harem candidate and even she doesn’t appear to be romantically interested in the Lufasu. There’s certainly the potential for Lufasu to develop a harem in future volumes but the protagonist isn’t aiming to create one or anything and there isn’t one in this volume.

Character:

The protagonist is unnamed in this volume as the story is narrated in first person and he is called “Lufasu” by the other characters. He’s not a terrible protagonist and he has kind intentions with everything that he does but he’s pretty bland and is way too OP to be that interesting for me. The other major character is Dinah, Lufasu’s servent. She’s cute and I liked some aspects of her personality but she doesn’t really stand out otherwise. Otherwise, the characters aren’t very memorable nor do they stand out.

I do think that this series would have been improved by Lufasu being the protagonist, instead of the unnamed protagonist who plays as her. From the brief glimpses that we get of her life in the game world, she seems interesting and I couldn’t help but hope that she appears as herself in later volumes.

Adaptation Notes:

The manga adaptation has 5 volumes released and is illustrated Tsubasa Hazuki, an artist who is likely most known for doing the manga adaptations of the Fairy Dance and Mother’s Rosario arcs of Sword Art Online. The art is good and suits the series. The manga doesn’t change much from the light novel but it cuts down on the narration and the stuff with Lufasu training and earning money. I did find the manga to be more interesting than the light novel but it retains the weaknesses of it’s source material. Still, if you’re interested in the series, I probably would recommend the manga over the light novel.

Recommended for:

If you’re into isekai series, you’ll probably really enjoy this, especially if you like isekai with video game elements and don’t mind an OP protagonist.

I doubt that I’ll be reading any volumes in this series in the future. I mean, I only got this volume because it was up for free on BookWalker. That being said, I do think that the author has potential and I wouldn’t mind reading some of their other works, should they publish more.

Next up is Isekai Goumon Hime 6!

A Wild Last Boss Appeared! Volume 1 Review

Written by Firehead, illustrated by YahaKo.

The Bottom Line: Honestly, kind of a middling isekai.

200 years ago the nations of this fantasy realm were conquered by a single tyrranical ruler who was then deposed by seven heroes and a last alliance of men and elves and etc. Unfortunately, the devilfolk who had been deterred by her strength struck back, this alliance splintered, and humanity was slowly pushed back to the brink. As such, a nation sought to summon a hero from a parallel realm — your standard isekai fare, right? Wrong, kinda.

Unfortunately, they accidentally summoned their former tyrant, whose 200-years-ago exploits were actually an MMO addict's max-level character stomping across the realm, and now she's back, except her consciousness has been fused with her player's, and now she has to bring together her old band of overpowered NPC helpers to push the devilfolk back and defeat their king.

The writing and translation is Distinctly Average. The main character, Lufas, is presumably speaking in a pompous way but the translator has rendered it with the royal "we" which is a little annoying. The setting, as well, doesn't have a lot that sets it apart from other "isekai fantasy" settings, and overall it's not exceptionally funny.

But it's not exceptionally bad, either!

The author does get into the weeds with stats and HP. If you like "litRPGs" all the more power to you, I just cannot stand them personally — but at the least, as the MC is already overpowered, there's no really tedious sections discussing powerleveling and grinding strategies. Put a pin in this for future reference, as I will be discussing this in later reviews.

I feel like the largest flaw with this novel, to my mind, is what I call Light Novel Volume One Syndrome — which is an appropriately long name. So much of the pagecount is setting up the overarching plot that will continue into volume 2 and 3 and beyond. (Put a pin in this, too.) But at the very least there is a solid conclusion that sets the stage for Lufas's Comeback Tour.

As of the writing, I have actually read through the second volume and am working on the third, so you'll have to stay tuned on how those turn out!
