Review: Defintely for the Dungeons and Dragons fan, though it does take some liberties. - Goblin Slayer tells the tale of Goblin Slayer, a person wearing a cheap leather armor, chain mail, shield and a small sword who lives to slay Goblins and nothing else. How does one make this type of monster interesting to fight when they are considered one of the weakest monsters in all forms of medieval fantasy stories? well here in this case it seems the author decided to take a few liberties in how ruthless the Goblins are, specifically with human females, some people might think that the author did it to give it shock value, I personally think that he did this to make them seem more menacing as the intention of the author was to have a guy who specialized in combat against these weak creatures that most adventurer don't care about as they are considered to weak to be worth the effort, yet for people who let their guard down, they could be viciously ruthless. Take this as a warning on whether you might like this Such is the story of this first novel, it starts with the story of Priestess, a young priestess fresh out of church who just started her adventurer life with her new found adventurer party, yet soon she finds out that the adventurer life aint all fun and thrills and meets this Goblin Slayer who will prove to be a great mentor. You can tell the author loved or loves playing Dungeons and Dragons as he explains how the world works in Goblin Slayer, instead of having lets say.. Mana for magic, magic users have miracles which they can perform, he explains how "experience points" work etc, goes into explaining about startegies, weapon durability and other quirks that are usually forgotten in some medieval fantasy stories which are common place in Dungeons and Dragons. The story is very straight forward, you are going to read Golbins being slain, yet there is a back story of the main character and his motivations as well see the growth of both Priestess becoming a more reliable adventurer as well as Goblin Slayer growing and getting over past problems. Even though the story for the most part is a bit grim it does offer some moments of comedy in the form of an elf and a dward which well .. they are always at odds with each other and the banter is quite entertaining, yet I do feel it has been a bit overplayed by most medieval fantasy stories and movies (Think of Legolas and Gimly in Lords of the Rings) that said, it is still nice having them. All in all it was a fun read, I liked all characters presented in this volume and look forward to book 2, and I recommend for anyone intersted in medieval fantasy adventures.
Review: How books should be. - Finding good books that don't flagrantly suck is pretty hard these days. Worse are those trash novels where the characters can do no wrong and the terrible authors handicapped the story with BS luck or dues ex machina. None of that nonsense will be found here. The author as he states is a fan of fantasy and DnD among other things and it shows quite frankly. Minor references and the names only should be obvious to all but the most ignorant or the lowest of mental capacity. (eg ranks, types of class, alignment) Goblin slayer is a fully fleshed out and realistic character who handles everything with what means he has available. Through skill and wits he overcomes his enemies and said skills are displayed and felt. No character shows or portrays themselves in absurd plot armor so there is actual tension when needed. I would never however say this novel is dark as it truly is not and likely never will be. It's realistic and that alone is far to hard to find. The terrible start with the goblins only enforces what they are and why they are bad. I recommend this and several other good novels to literally everyone I know who has appreciation for good writing from an author who is actually sincerely trying.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely best between Novel, Manga,and Anime!
*by A***T on May 30, 2024*

I started reading the mangas for this and quickly decided to switch to the light novels. I'm glad I did because you get so much more out of the novel than you do from the anime. You get to see the gods and the other characters in their lives and what they're thinking. Sure you can ascertain this from the emotions and the way the artist draws the characters but through the light novel you get so much more and I highly recommend anyone that's enjoyed either the anime or the manga to read the light novels as well.
