Log Horizon, Vol. 3: Game's End, Part 1 - light novel (Log Horizon, 3)

The series so far is excellently written. It's a very good read. If I hadn't already watched the anime a dozen times, I'd finish the books too, but I won't. This will be my last book.I read the light novels to get a different perspective or some extra content. In the light novel you can go into greater depth about what the characters are thinking and feeling, for example. However, if you've watched Log Horizon anime, there's no reason to read the books. You don't really get anything you wouldn't get from watching the anime.Unless you really like book form or anime form, I don't see a need to both read this light novel AND watch the anime. Even though the light novel was really well done, I got bored because not much was different than what I'd already seen in the anime.

Note: This the NOVEL not the manga.The series continues to be excellent. This time we have a split plot with some heroes at a training camp for the members rescued in the previous novel and some of the heroes meeting the "people of the land" for an old English-type gathering of lords. The story focuses a lot on character dialogue and mystery in this volume but there's still some action/suspense in the dungeon adventures of the younger members; I was not too fond of this though, a lot of it came off as cliche and angsty in how some of these younger folks were portrayed and I found it irritating. Thankfully this is not the entire novel. Some excellent world building happens as we learn about the rest of the continent from different characters. In terms of the anime, this is about 3/4ths of the 1st season [if i recall correctly].

The world building is next level and I only know one other isakai that even comes close when it comes to world building. I can't wait to jump into the next volume!

A great book, it matches the anime series pretty well and gives a little more depth to the story as a whole since it lets your imagination take things differently. If you havnt or dont plan to watch the anime, this book is great. Worth the read whether you've already seen the anime or not.

Good read

I would definitely tell any fan of RPG anime to check out Log Horizon, probably before Sword Art Online. Touno-sensei's writing does contain a lot of exposition, but the writing flows so well and the characters are so great it's not boring at all. In fact, the surprises come so quickly in this book with the changes of pace that it's just fun reading.

Log Horizon is a very well-written series with interesting characters and a mysterious world to explore. It's similar to Sword Art Online, but with a richer world history and more attention to detail on character development and world-building. A great read for any fan of fantasy, video games, or the anime series based off of it.

Log Horizon (which is a poor translation, btw; it should be something like "Horizon Log," or "Record of Horizons Reached.") is pretty much the premiere LitRPG light novel series in existence, and this volume lives up to the hype.

Extremely detailed when describing the scenes and situations. The story pacing is albeit slow but a great novel regardless.

Log Horizon is love. Log Horizon is life.

Excellent condition and a superb series,will be buying them all!

Log Horizon...brilliant.

Beh, conosco la serie e la light novel è bellissima. Scritta molto bene, praticamente un libro! (Molto meglio rispetto a quelle di Sao per esempio). La lettura è accattivante e spesso ti tiene col fiato sospeso. A quanto pare comunque l'anime si è mantenuto fedelissimo, quindi il racconto non si discosta da ciò che accade, ma alcune aggiunte sui personaggi e i particolari riguardo al gioco arricchiscono sicuramente la lettura. Consigliatissimo per i fan e non! ^^(L'inglese è comprensibile, ma è come leggere un intero libro con descrizione, inttrospezioni et co., tutto in inglese).Well, I know the anime and the light novel is beautiful! Wrote very well, pratically a book! Really really better than for example Sao's ones. The reading is captivating and full of suspence. The anime is very faithful, but the story adds some details on the characters and about the game as well. Reccomended for fans and not! ^^
