That's middle volume 2, yes.

Funny, I would have bet it was the end of volume 2 with the way it wrapped things up nicely. C'es la vie.

That's a really weird place to put that. The manga version puts that at the end of a volume (vol. 5) since it's a really good stopping point for that. LN pacing is weird.

For fun, the english light novel recently released Volume 11. If they somehow keep a season as a volume and a half (still kind of mind boggling honestly), they'll have content forever.

I swear I heard Sword Dad was originally a Web Novel, is the LN's pacing just an artifact of that? Or, more likely, am I blowing hot air?

It was a web novel, but I'm not sure that did anything significant to pacing.

the light novel is pretty far behind the web novel too, probably going to end up 25+ volumes

I read the manga just as the series came out; Chapter 30 was a very obvious place to end season 1 so no surprises there. Have no idea what the pacing is like in the LN tho.

Speaking of adaptation progression, how does I prefer the villainess get anywhere at all. I think the manga is only just now finishing Manaria in magazine which would be like volume ten or some poo poo I have no idea. Soooo uhhh an entire season of slapstick and politics?

Light Novel the manga is based on is already done and I'd imagine the series is gonna cover the first 2 volumes which is a complete arc and has a good ending point

Apparently the Twitter for it is implying we're getting a season two, so that's nice. It wasn't amazing but I enjoy pulp given appropriate moderation.
Oh, that's good news. Honestly, in a less packed season the show would certainly be doing much better in the ratings. Hell, if it had been a Summer release, it would have been near the top of the heap.

I loved Teacher's reaction to Fran's new equipment, too. Very dadly of him.

Meanwhile, Sword Dad has wrapped up quite nicely for the moment, with a "to be continued" that I hope the show gets to make good on. Bit of a surprise that Amanda knew Fran's parents as she raised them at her orphanage, but I imagine readers of the manga were waiting for it.

It was very heavily hinted last episode, so not exactly a surprise.

A part of me kinda hopes they'll evolve Pikachu by the end of that last run of Ash's journey, just to firmly cap the series in a "Can't EVER go back" way.
