I really don't want to read Wikipedia or other fan sites, so I won't get spoiled.
I just want to know, if the light novels have finally started talking about the three central mysteries of Grimgar. I have read several novels in, and it hasn't been talked about at all, except when memories start popping up. Mystery #1: The how and why our party members got transported to Grimgar. Mystery #2: Who or what is tapping down our party member's memories, when they start bubbling up. Almost like how Ainz Ooal Gown from Overlord gets his emotions suppressed, when his emotions get riled up. Mystery #3: Just how much the locals know about the transportation process and the party members. I really have hated the locals of this world, because they seem to know stuff about the off-world arrivals and use them quite harshly, while keeping them in the dark. As I said, I am not looking for spoilers or answers here, I just want to know if in later novels they have touched on these mysteries in any meaningful way. I have read several novels in, and they haven't, which is why I stopped reading any further. It just became a drudge reading the novels, while our characters are constantly ground into the dirt and are suppressed, but the central mysteries, which could make things interesting and impactful, are never examined, and our character are unable to advance them because of the suppression. For me the novels became a sort of torture porn, but without the heart to see if there is light at the end of the tunnel. I stopped reading because I felt that for the author, these mysteries are merely placeholders that were never intended to be answered. For me, Grimgar is a cruel world, where the locals take the off-worlders in, keep them dumb and in the dark, and use them in their meat grinder of a world. |

Wikipedia doesn't have what you want. Before I look any further I would like to know if you're still curious.

As of volume 19 (not the answers, but I'm spoilering it just in case)
Mystery 1 spoiler[has been thought upon (a character assumes another character is responsible for it but has gotten no confirmation yet, though we're led to believe they're right)] Mystery 2 spoiler[has been explained already] Mystery 3 spoiler[gets expanded upon with regards to what human society is like in the world of Grimgar as a whole, but your specific question is never brought up in-universe] |

Just a note for you all, J-Novel has been releasing the weekly chapters for the latest volume in the series.
I have remembered why I stopped reading this series, because it is a mind numbing grind. It probably wouldn't be so bad, if there was a reward for continuing, like answering certain central mysteries. I hate the world's people, because they seem to know what is going on, but refuse to provide any answers. It's like an assembly line for summoned adventurers. Receive new humans, process them into adventurers, then send them into the meat grinder. Rinse and repeat. Really this series would be easy to end abruptly. Just kill off the current cast of characters, and segue back to the beginning tower to receive new humans to turn into adventurers. |
