Now starting the novel Re:Zero - Starting Life In Another World.
I will be reading the LN for Arcs 1, 2, 3 and 5 but the WN for Arc 4 and 6 onwards.

@Itay20052 That's the first thing I thought of but wasn't Emilia only born like 115 years ago? Puck should already have been a spirit since 400 years ago. I guess there are a lot of possibilities
@thedevoutvampi The LN is the only real "canon" but I think it's still worth thinking about stuff that was cut since Tappei obviously has everything generally thought out when he writes the WN.
Holy shit the first unthinkable present is completely different in the WN. Is Satella really able to just possess Subaru's corpse if he dies

@SampsonMichae10 I honestly am realizing how weird it is that anything sexual is received so differently compared to any other atrocities. Like how Denji gets hate for being a "gooner" despite being a teenager that was groomed and still valuing consent/never doing anything particularly terrible.
@SampsonMichae10 From what I've seen, pretty much every MT fan understands why people don't like him but a lot of them just consider themselves intellectually superior for being able to enjoy a "flawed" protagonist. And some others apparently think everything he does is morally acceptable.
@SampsonMichae10 It is kind of interesting to look at a character like Geto though where a lot of people actually do sympathize with him. But the Sukuna thing never made sense to me because besides canonically having no interest in that kind of thing, it'd be far from the worst thing he's done.
I thought it was stupid when people were comparing Rudeus to Eren or characters who committed genocide and asking why they aren't hated as much but I've seen genuine people call it character development when Rudeus killed a bunch of people. When I first read the diary chapter, I also never imagined I'd see real MT fans defending Oldeus...
One of the few moments in Re:Zero where the anime completely surpassed the source material. The godlike ost and voice acting really elevate this scene to a completely different level
