I didn't know much about this series going in, but I enjoyed this volume.
Language learning:
There is full furigana and a WK book club so this is easier to approach than I assumed it would be. Difficulties will come from characters that speak formally, introspective language, and fantasy vocabulary.
Content:
I enjoy the fantasy genre, and this series is probably best if you're a fantasy reader already. The setting is a traditional DnD-type fantasy world, but the story starts after the heroes have already defeated the 'final boss.' The series deals with what happens afterwards, and what it's like for Frieren, as an elf, to outlive her friends. I was really drawn by the introspective and contemplative story, and I'm interested to see what happens in further volumes. I also hear that the anime is excellent so I'm excited to watch that.
