Now that you mention it, right now rio is a honorary knight in LN, later he become a hero after saving flora in WN if im not wrong, he share some of these trait with tigre from madan, both get higher status despite they dont want it, saving princess in trouble, got involved with civil wars, got liked by many girls...feels like im not gonna be suprised if rio really did become a king later like tigre...

[NAJ P. Jackson]

Well he has royal blood so he already has the prerequisite covered. Once his background is revealed that is. Nobles will probably accept him becoming King if that happens

I would love to see that, i do not like flora or Cristina much, but i prefer them to be married with Rio than with another dumbass like that stupid hero who wants a harem.

this think is weird if really happened , from the start is not going to make rio a king but greatest hero.....christina and flora are girl its mean their son will be next king.....now i am waiting about flora act next time, in wn version is not to much to me but in ln flora and christina know about rio identity this make great impact in the story

not sure why people like the WN better than LN. LN is much more superior in story telling and character development to me.

I think because you can read translated chapters further on than the LN which is just starting the 4th volume on JNC while the wn tl's are past 135 at the moment. Equivalent of chapters, the ln translations are around early 50's.

As for developments, that just goes down to personal taste. For example, since the LN doesn't have the letter fiasco, I like it a million times more than the WN.

[avalom]

Haruto/rio WN >>>>>>>>>>> Haruto/rio LN
why? simple...
Haruto is the one who has the domain and conscience.
In summary, background and past of haruto >>>>>> background and past of rio

[Mirable]

LN = Rio and his life merged with Haruto's memoires. WN = Haruto and his life merged with Rio's memoires.

To me Rio>>>>>>Haruto, Just can't bring myself to like this guy.

Haruto is a unlucky and hetare ikemen, he got himself a cheating mom and annoying half-sister that ruin his happy family. This guy has a strong feeling for his childhood to the point you can call he's begin obsessed for a normal person but surprisingly he pretty much hetare when it come into romance. He run away after saw his childhood friend is talking friendly with another man. After his childhood friend disappeared, he pretty much lost his goal in life. He wasted his youth life away (not hangout with friend and keep rejected the girl cuz he unable to move on from childhood friend ) He continute to living life with regret until he died from accident.

Even in the next life, he still hetare. he gets the second chance to meet with his childhood friend but he still coward to reveal the truth to her and decided to use the damn letter instead of talk with her face-to-face. He didn't know it's a bad decision untill it too late, now he lost her again.

in my opinion compared to wn ,ln is superior.....did you read ln yet? this not like the main problem is who has the domain but mc is basically coward , in ln thanks to satsuki this problem solved and i tired waiting how this problem solved in wn so i just dropped it,last chapter liliana realized their action is wrong....just how much chapter for that misunderstanding can be solved? haruto is too coward in wn and someone not realized this and make develop annoying ,

in ln aisia tell miharu to approach rio more boldly because he is coward and thanks to satsuki who give him advice also tell him no way miharu will be happy if she forced to sacrifice her feeling like that , well if you not read ln yet i have no futher opinion , too make comparison you must read the two version

Spoiler:

- in ln flora know haruto is rio (maybe simple but this will be great impact in future as well , how will her affection toward rio when he saved her once again)
-lisselotte know about rio past life and admitted that she is know about haruto (she called him amakawa senpai)
- thanks to aisia , when haruto reveal himself miharu approach him more boldly also satsuki play great part here ( if you remember the part in ilustration when rio vs satsuki)
- christina know rio is haruto and back then she adored him as someone who far superior than herself (OHH DAMMIT I REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA , IN WN RESTORATION WANT TO USE CELIA AS A BAIT TO BRING HARUTO POWER AND IN LN THIS IMPOSIBLE TO EASLY THINK LIKE THAT)

likely they not read ln yet , especially after haruto meet lisselotte because that become foundation futher develop haruto and miharu relationship

Yes i read both version and i was talking about Haruto character in WN, not why Rio's coward. i don't get your message to me.

Also for Miharu case, i prefer LN cuz it give the understandable reason why Rio was afraid to approach Miharu. Main reason because he is Rio, not Haruto. He is own person so he think it's wrong to take advantage in Haruto place (Also it's hard to say that he got memories of her childhood friend) While in WN, well a lot of thing happened with Haruto but in the end he just too coward to reveal the truth to Miharu.

[avalom]

a small question if you are miharu, what would you like ...
haruto's memories in rio's body or complete existence of rio with a few memories of haruto's life past
rio is a great protagonist but it's so perfect that it bores, Haruto makes mistakes, that makes him more human.

That pseudo NTR is so boring for me

[Mirable]

I don't think begin obsessed with someone to the point you lost the goal in life and wasted your days living aimless life is normal for human.

Well if i am Mirahu and i know the whole truth then i probably want Haruto to move on for his own good if i can't be with him. It's sad but this is the best for Haruto.

Living your whole life cling to the childish promise (like a curse for Haruto) to the point you don't know other way to live for is not good for Haruto life. Not to mention Miharu is clearly hurt when she saw the dream about Haruto's past life and she wish for him to end up with someone else and has a happy life instead.

Overall I prefer the LN, including Rio as the dominant mind.
But, Rio also commits mistakes you know? I am sure it was either Reis or Lucius that escaped from him. I think it was Lucius, while in the WN, Lucius never escapes once he found Haruto.
Also, why do you have "~NTR~" under your name?

Keep this in mind: He never had a chance of closure with Miharu. He trained hard to protect her, but then saw her with Takatrash and chickens out. When he is resolved to face her, she disappears... For years.
In the WN, after Miharu "rejects him" he is depressed, but still protects Celia and tries hard to make her happy, while trying to avenge his family + finding out Aisha's identity.

[Mirable]

^yeah i know, that's why i said he is hetare when it comes to Miharu and not just once but twice. It's like this guy never learn from his pervious life.

Just to be clear, In Ln Rio didn't hesitant to kill Lucius, the only reason why Lucius still alive because of Flora.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

After Rio badly injured Lucius, he was about to finish Lucius off, Lucius launch the attack at Flora to distract Rio. when Rio rush to protect Flora, Reis suddenly appeared and take that chance to save Lucius and escape with him.

The difference between LN and WN is in LN Flora witness the whole fight between Rio and Lucius and that's the reason why she learn that Rio = Haruto cuz Lucius said Haruto real name. While in Wn, Flora lose consciousness and dying during the whole fight plus Rio doesn't aware that Flora was there until it's all over.

I guess the reason why author decide not to kill off Lucius (yet) in LN because she reconsider (or Editor's advice) that Lucius is still useful for her novel since Lucius exist is a big influence in Rio's life so it's kinda waste to just kill him off so early.

That's why author decide to keep Lucius alive for now and plan to use him more in LN. (it's very likely that Lucius may return again in next volume)

well this make new arc more interesting to me....in wn christina want use celia to bring rio power to restoration but in ln this will be defferent , also next arc is flora right ? , i really want to see hiroaki beated into pulp....

[Zhilo325]

Do u think the next time rio meets lucis it might involve miharu in some way?

Yeah, I completely agree with this. I just wanted to expand a bit on his mentality during those years. And although it would've been weird to explain all this to Miharu, he still just wrote a fucking letter! A FUCKING LETTER!

And just to be clear, I knew about Lucius. I just count that as a mistake that will come bite Rio in the ass later.

Thats what I was expecting, but now I think he will still be targeting royalty like Christina or Flora.

[Zhilo325]

How did Rio and lucis end up fighting each other in the light novel anyway?

[Mirable]

^IIRC Amande (Liselotte's city) got attacked by horde of monsters lead by Reis. Lucius kidnaps Flora then Rio goes to recuse her.

In WN, Flora, Ronna and Hiroaki didn't stay in Amande during the time when city got attacked.
