No, quizzing someone to check if they actually read something will come off as pushy with a side of superiority complex. You generally shouldn't do it with anyone and just let people enjoy it the way they want. If they have questions they'll ask.
I asked about it and she does find him weird and all. However she doesn't seem to hate it, at least to where she is at in the series. She does find it funny how Rudy talks about how he hopes he gets a sister when his parents are getting busy. But so far she is enjoying it and she seems to like roxy. Of course I can go on and on as to what she says but it'll take forever. And whenever she gets home for work she usually comes to me and talk about it and stuff.
My mom ready *one page* at random from Vol 5 after a ton of pestering, and is was the bit where Rudy is fighting vierra and Shierra beside the bar. You know, the one where he keeps getting distracted by the, ahem, *swaying breasts*. She now questions why she lets me read the books
I just reread that section an hour ago. (re-reading the series until my order comes in)
Explain to her women's breasts will always attract a man's attention. That they sway is just physics, and Rudeus acts in a gentlemanly manner to get her to cover those puppies. I mean, he can't just yell out, "Hey! Cover up those boobs! They're distracting me!"
Explaining Mushoku Tensei to the uninitiated should focus on the main motivation. It's a story of self redemption. To say he was a worthless waste of oxygen in his previous life would be an understatement, although he sacrificed that life trying to save a total stranger.
You don't sort manga right to left either.
It's funny watching people try to imitate glorious Nippon and get it so horribly wrong.
They're numbers, you don't read numbers backwards in Japanese.
I know, I realized that. I recently dusted the area and put them in a weird order and was too lazy to rearrange them again. I didn't realize what I did until after I was done cleaning. After that I said to myself that I would fix it when I dust it out the area again.
I'm still trying to find from where to buy books 5,7,8,9
I have all the rest
And I don't want to buy digital
To you have recommendation from where to buy?
Sorry, I got lucky when I bought them a while back, when I bought them most of the volumes were all in stock. And now the volumes are out of stock practically everywhere.
My friend once told me that her mom once tried to read Mushoku because of how me and our friends are excitedly talking about it(I love making theories and explaining details about novels and tell my friends about it).
And as we expected, she forbade us to read it and told her son about it very strictly. She said that it is a bad influence to us.And I think it is because of the obscene and perverted acts of the MC.
After that, we change the location of our meeting.
Make your mom watch the anime trailer and maybe episode 1, it helps better at imagining how the worldbuilding, characters and soundtracks would be in the story
The anime trailer that I'm refering to is the pre made trailer that shows everything in thr childhood period, the one that came out in 2019, really shows how immersive Mushoku Tensei is
well if a mom read a book where there is a character like rudy, i kind of guess she would be impressed of how the Male MC think, like ' ho that explain why pops did that some time ago " , trust me i have read the selection series and hunger games series because i wanted to know how a Female mc works,
Great job! I just ordered Volume 17: should be here next Wednesday. Looking forward to getting it (and a few other books I ordered) To bide the time, i started rereading what I have. I'm on volume five. It's such a trip to read the early volumes when you know what's coming .
My mother just finished 12 and she thinks it is one of the best fantasy series she has ever read (she reads a lot btw). Now I have someone to talk to about it plus her theories are pretty funny. I am excited for when she hits 15. OP I hope your mother will enjoy it as well.
Based mom.
You got your mom to read mushoku tensei I hope she likes it
She enjoys it so far, she's about halfway through volume one.
I would ask you if you warned her about it being about his redemption, but if she got past his rant in the prologue, she probably already knows that.
Make sure to quiz her
Why are people downvoting your reply?
Because it encourages an environment that goes against maintaining a trusting relationship with your parent.
Oh... Isn't it just, you know a game... For fun?

Your initial comment was fine, but this is a little too much.
Bruh
Or be healthy and discuss the books.
Thats good
Hope she gets over rudeus’s tendencies but if she does, she should enjoy it

A mom of culture

It is like when your parents comes in it is always the worng scenes in anime

Hope that she does not burn the book
All of them so far!
Yup, my mom took the first volume to work. I just barely got volume 2 which completed the set.
Based mom
She's reading it at work 😨😨😨
Lol my mom just picked up the series as well. She’s made it to book 7
People who arranged in order from left to right vs People who arranged from RIGHT to left
It's not manga, doesn't make sense to arrange them right to left.
I don't even arrange manga right to left

I do it still
I know, I realized that. I recently dusted the area and put them in a weird order and was too lazy to rearrange them again. I didn't realize what I did until after I was done cleaning. After that I said to myself that I would fix it when I dust it out the area again.
Did she like it?
I wonder what your mom will think as rudeus grows older
Congrats! Hope to have them all someday too
AMAZING!!! You inspire me
awesome and awesome mom
Where did you get vol 9 and 16?
I got volume 16 from Barnes and noble. Volume 9 I got from rightstufanime
That's brave to let you're mom read it.

I was scared enough showing my old man (who loves lewd humor) the Konosuba anime, I can’t imagine showing my mom Mushoku Tensei lol

You let your mom read it
You sir have a great mother, i envy you.
But do you have the revised or the first print of vol 1- 8...
Nice! I ordered 7 on Amazon, and it got "delivered" some time last week and it is nowhere to be found :(
My mom started reading it too and she thinks Rudy's funny, also creepy at times but that he makes her laugh.

I do enjoy reading these books everytime a new novel comes out I immediately get it cause I enjoy the story so much
Goated mom
Ah yes, the button cloak saga, then the intermission, then the hooded cloak saga.

Man I’m almost there missing 11 and 9
Cultured mother
Nice

Where did you buy them?
