I agree with you actually, I just get tired of reading it. It’s more of how the author writes inner monologue in general. It always restates things & draws them out more than I care for. With ハルヒロ in particular, I got very burnt out of reading it, in the first 5 volumes - and never fully recovered. Thankfully he starts getting more character growth, and his inner monologue has gotten more enjoyable for me
I guess there’s probably a better descriptor for it, but it did involve them both opening up a bit more - which isn’t something I recall of シホル from previous novels. Also she did call him on his obvious crush on メリイ, plus shared her opinions on how he thinks of &:treats himself, and begging to value his life more. So it did get at least kinda personal
Agreed. Very level, but still creative and interesting. Honestly vol 7, and vol 8-9 are my favorites in terms of world building.
That’s fair, but still I was expecting his inner monologue to be waaaaaay more obnoxious than it was.
