86--EIGHTY-SIX, Vol. 3

Run Through the Battlefront (Finish)

By: Asato Asato, Shirabii, Roman Lempert - translator

Narrated by: Suzie Yeung, Stephen Fu

Pride is all we haveThe attack Shin foresaw has finally come to pass. Wielding a weapon with destructive force hitherto unseen, the Long-Range Artillery-type Legion unit rains unmitigated chaos over the battlefield. Both the Federacy’s western front and the Gran Mur of the Republic crumble under the might of the monolithic railgun, capable of dealing catastrophic damage from hundreds of kilometers away. With their backs against the wall, the Giadian military makes a controversial decision: A special strike force will charge into the heart of Legion territory, engage the Railgun type from close range, and destroy it. Shin and the Eighty-Six will spearhead the operation. …But Shin has not been himself lately. Having defeated his brother’s ghost and freed himself from the Republic, the Reaper finds himself without purpose. What reason does he have to go on living? For whose sake does he fight…?

Finally!!!

I can’t wait for the 4th, if I had time to read I would already be reading on.

Good series mostly

This is an entertaining series but the story gets repetitive sometimes. The protagonists depressing brooding emo thing is getting a little old. I enjoy the other characters and the world is interesting otherwise.

The change in the narrator

I like the last male voice actor better plus after listening to him after two books. The voice actor didn't even fit as much as shin in the dub.

The only reason we fight

“Like a headless skeleton trying to find it’s lot head” is not just Shin, but the writer too. Still love the idea of this series, but so far the first novel really was the strongest.

I’m all for reappeared messages to get a theme through, but needing to explain why they’re fighting over and over but going back and forth on whether or not the freedom to choose death is free will or simply a childish lack of perspective… I’m getting annoyed just listening to it lol

Voice acting could be better

Did not care for the voice acting in vol.3.
Also quite a few times dialouge was repeated. Story was still good though.
