Is the translation still subpar?

There are still a few translation mistakes but nowhere near as bad as it was in the first two. I counted less than ten.

Awesome, that's good to hear. I've been interested in reading this but the amount I heard were in the first volume made me weary on getting it.

I find the comment about Spear Twit not growing as a character short sighted (to be polite). Not everyone changes. Especially the sort person he has been shown to be from the beginning. And double especially when most of the people around are giving him whatever he wants and telling him he is right.

It might be comedic, but it also sad and potentially dangerous.

^^^Agreed. The Spear Hero is continually being pandered to by those around him. So, if he thinks he is in the right, why would he change? He deserves those kicks to the groin too. Laughing

I found the mistakes in this volume took me out of it a bit. Mostly because the ones I noticed seemed to be early on in some chapters.

Really enjoyed this volume more than the 2nd, but still feel like Raphtalia has been more in the background after the first volume.

Still, I read this volume in a few days, which is really quick for me, as I usually dawdle when reading novels. Looking forward to the 4th volume.

Haven't read this yet but really enjoyed the first two. It's light and breezy and reads fast. I read both of them late into the night, which rarely happens anymore. I mean, they're not Kokoro or Snow Country, but they're great pulpy fun. Just got three last week and will start it after I finish SAO 6.

The 4th volume is out June 14th. One Peace Books has a spring catalog PDF on their site which states the date.
