My Thoughts on Although I Was Summoned as a Scapegoat, I’m Happy ~ Sequel ~

This sequel picks up where "Although I Was Summoned as a Scapegoat, I’m Happy" left off, continuing the story of our female lead and her demon lord love. As a fan of the original, I was eager to see where the author would take the story, and while it provided a satisfying conclusion, I do have some mixed feelings.

First Impressions

My initial reaction was positive, diving straight back into the world and the dynamic between the main characters. The premise of a new saint being summoned, and the inevitable clash that follows, immediately grabbed my attention. I was curious to see how the author would handle this new conflict and how it would affect the established relationship.

What Works Well

The core strength of this sequel lies in its resolution of the central conflict. Seeing the misunderstanding cleared and the female lead finding happiness with her demon lord is genuinely heartwarming. The story also manages to maintain its lighthearted tone, which I appreciated. It's a quick and easy read, perfect for when you want something that doesn't require too much investment.

Areas of Concern

My main issue is the length. It felt too short. I wanted more depth, more exploration of the characters and the world. The showdown with the new saint felt a little rushed and lacked the punch I was hoping for. The new saint herself felt a bit one-dimensional, fitting neatly into the "ignorant Mary Sue" archetype. I would have appreciated a bit more nuance and complexity.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Although I Was Summoned as a Scapegoat, I’m Happy ~ Sequel ~" is a decent conclusion to the story. While it might not reach the heights of the original, it provides a satisfying resolution for fans of the series. If you enjoyed the first part and are looking for a quick and easy read with a happy ending, this sequel is worth checking out. Just don't expect too much depth or complexity. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
