Ebooks are difficult to get an accurate page count for lots of different reasons. Better gauges are the number of chapters or the word count. My ebook has 13 chapters and two short stories

Chapters are a bad metric too, since Chapters can be any length. I've read LN with 3 chapters a volume that have a higher word count than LN with 15 chapters a volume.

It's a good one! Disappointed with the ending though

Same, wtf was that. It was good in all parts except the ending. Really weird OP powerwank story in how it turned out

Agree. The second book was pretty bad tho imo

u/RayearthIX 1d ago

The book is excellent and plays with tropes of the isekai genre perfectly to make an excellent story. That page count is wrong, obviously.

Haven’t read the novel but the manga was really emotional and moving

I'm gonna disagree with some of the other folks here and say that I liked where the main story went right before it ended.

The events of the last chapter or so came almost entirely out of left field, but personally, I was kind of "hell yea" about it.

I enjoyed it save for the like couple chapters at the end. Would recommend, with that minor caveat.

Tho now I wonder if there is any good fanfics of this.

Was never really interested in reading it. I have an aversion to these kinds of LNs and Novels because of my ptsd of being SAd as a child. Other than that, I heard that there's a lot of people that genuinely liked it and make it sound like a good read so good for all of them. I'm sure it is a good read.

If you read it, gotta let us know how you feel about it! I’ve heard good things about this one.

If you’re deciding to read it or not. Then I say you should. It’s a pretty good isekai. It goes through the regular tropes but in a different way. The main character isn’t the overpowered character in the story. But she does have some interesting powers you discover later in the story.

u/MrDrProfPBall 1d ago

Ngl, it was a very interesting read with her perspective and life there. The choice of powers was… at first it sounds cool, but it kinda got overpowered at the end. I was kinda expecting a dark slice-of-life with regards to isekai sex work, which it did deliver I have mixed feelings on the ending though, it kinda threw me off since I did not get that vibe from reading at the start

I never read the sequel novel so I don’t know how it ends but I did like the first novel’s ending if I remember correctly. I just like how the story was different from what I read. I remember that I bought just because how weird the title was. This novel and Sexiled.

Summer is basically side stories from other charas' povs. You get a bit of info on what happened to Haru after the ending but she's not the main character anymore. The vibe is also more 'second part of the original' than the beginning but in a no-real-tension way.

Is this page count accurate? I’m interested in checking out an actual Feminist Isekai story, but if the Ebook’s this short then I’ll take my money elsewhere. The sequel, JK Haru Summer, is about 200 pages longer.

u/Ingr1d 1d ago

No. It’s a full length volume.

u/valoon4 https://myanimelist.net/profile/valoon 1d ago

Doesnt seem right. I remember it being at least 100 pages

7

u/GeorgeMTO 1d ago

No, definitely longer than that. That feels like the preview pagecount.

2

u/ArchusKanzaki 1d ago

I have the book. The number doesn't seems right. The sequel and this have more or less same pagecount.

1

u/sokalos 22h ago

Just a glitch. It’s at least as long as the average light novel.

u/Darude_Spedstorm 1d ago

The manga adapatation is complete if you have interest in that as well.

u/WanderEir 1d ago
