Mushoku Tensei's ending is a generational fade

So, I just finished reading all the Redundancy volume of Mushoku Tensei. And my thoughts are. Well, if you already read the WN version. You missed nothing. It’s pretty much the same thing, just better written. And if you haven’t read the WN as improbable as it is. I’ll spoil it a little bit for you.

The first redundancy volume contain…

Norn got married.

Lucie goes to school.

Isolde got married. After that.

We go back to the beast village and Ghislaine finally fixes her relationship with her family. The next one is filled with his journey to Milis to finally fix their familial relationship with Lateria family. And lastly, there was Ars forbidden relationship with Aisha.

Which i'm sure all of you have heard of at least.

Anyway, instead of that. What i wanted to talk about is something else. And that is, the amount of congratulatory words from various famous authors. Here some of them.

Mushoku tensei may not the first nor the best at using``isekai`` as its main theme, but it is definitely one of the most influential series for this trends that still going strong even almost a decade later. Defeating the powerhouse of school battle harem of the previous generation.

I feel i can say for quite a lot of certainty that. Mushoku Tensei has been responsible for the creation a lot of series that we all know today.

Even you don't like it, you can't deny the power it has. A power that carried a whole generation of authors and stories into a new era.

And era that now too, starting to wane.. Exactly when it finally ended too.

A New Potential Ascendance of a Bookworm Spinoff?

So, I just finished reading Volume 2 of the Hannelore spinoff. For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s an Ascendance of a Bookworm side story that focuses on Hannelore’s chaotic romantic situation after the Goddess of Time descends into her to summon Rozemyne. It’s packed with misunderstandings, drama, and a mix of emotional and physical conflict.

Yes, physical conflict. We even get some fights. It’s Dunkelfelger, after all.

But honestly, what intrigued me even more than Hannelore having her feelings tossed around by her suitors is the whole situation with Myne.

It looks like she was sent to the past.

PHYSICALLY.

In Volume 1, it felt like Myne being summoned by the gods to fix the “weaving of fate” was a one-and-done thing. Turns out, that was just one step in a much bigger process.

After Hannelore comes back from the divine realm, things get weird. Knights from her duchy suddenly have new memories. Memories of seeing Myne in the distant past, long before her rebirth in this world. She appeared at various points throughout history.

And here’s the wild part. All of this is recorded in the Grutrissheit, which basically means her actions in the past are now fully canon in the present timeline.

So now I’m wondering. Is all of this going to be properly explained in the next volume of the spinoff? Or are we heading toward another side story entirely, one where Myne goes on a rampage across time and space to save her beloved Ferdinand?

Honestly, I kind of want the second option. One last volume of Myne going all out would be a perfect final hurrah to wrap up the series for good.

Or....…Who am I kidding? This whole article is just my copium because it’s really hard to let go of this series for good.

I can not remember a whole song

I can not recall a whole song.

I don't know when this started, but suddenly I realized that I have not been able to sing a whole song for quite a long time. Even songs that I liked a lot, I can't remember their full lyrics.

I used to be able to sing a whole song, even foreign songs whose meanings I didn't completely understand (with lyrics I found online, of course). But the worse part is that this forgetfulness does not apply only to song lyrics. It also applies to both the song title and the singer. Most of the time, all I can remember is the melody. Not only that, it's usually only the melody of the refrain.

This Fiirus really has become such an inconvenience when I find a song to be good but forget to like it (I stream music), and then can barely remember even its melody.

I'm sure getting older plays some part in this phenomenon. But I feel the main reason for this situation is the saturation of the market itself. In the past, especially before internet access became a daily fact of life, our exposure to music and songs was mainly through TV and radio, where if we missed the timing, we simply couldn't listen to them.

This created a scarcity that elevated the experience of listening to music.

If you were born in the early 2000s or late 1990s, I'm sure many of you have seen the rise of TV programs whose whole shtick was ranking songs every week.

For many people at that time, listening to a song was an event in itself. You were waiting for it, you were excited about it, and of course, you were paying attention to it. The easy access to music today, combined with the sheer number of songs available, has made them a part of daily life.

Which means we now barely pay attention to them. Listening to music is no longer an event. It is now just part of daily life. You do it while doing chores, you do it while working, and you do it while going to and from work.

Their abundance has literally made them feel less valuable, even though they are not. Our brains have simply normalized their presence and placed them in the category of "something not really special."

Of course, I do not wish to go back to the time when I couldn't afford to buy CDs and had to resort to recording broadcasts from the radio or TV with the low-quality microphone on my mid-2000s phone. Or spending massive amounts of cellular data to download MP3s from the internet over a slow-ass GPRS connection.

I just feel that we lost something important along the way to this current age of abundance.
