I decided to make a post for those who are not on Reddit and don’t read many of the answers in the community. There is some information about the new book from Omori's tweet https://x.com/fujinoomori/status/1830612851184337118?s=46It shows the name of the prologue “Hero Afterglow”, most likely volume 20 (maybe so 15), he also stated that he could finally talk about “This” and there was a hint that the deadline had already passed (a similar tweet was in May 2023 before volume 19) . So most likely this is the name of the prologue of volume 20 and it will be released during the anime release period somewhere in December-January

Regarding the prologue, most likely it will be a danatus where the raising of levels (Fin, Riveria, Gareth and other adventurers from the wargame) will be announced and reactions to this. Well, also new titles for everyone, and special attention to new titles in the Hestia family. Why do I think that there will be a danatus there? Well, this is from the comment AP24 left that it looks like AR3 Ch9.
And a bit of your opinion. Volume 20 will likely be more informative than action or fights. Most likely, the only interesting thing will be information about the one-eyed dragon, well, maybe information about the seven heri and Zeus will slip in; the rest will be boring -_-. Nina will ask to join the family of hestia, Bella will be beaten for quadrilling girls, and there will most likely be no interaction with ice either (Although in 19 it was said that Ice wanted to meet him later). So don’t have high hopes that there will be something like a fight with Weidos or a trip to the deep floors with Leon or some kind of romance with Ice. It will be a volume like 19.
I have no idea who "Weidos" is supposed to be, but I don't think that Volume 20 will be slow. That's not how Oomori does things. Slow downtime rest volumes aren't ever followed up by more of the same.
Excited to know what will be Haruhime's new title and a new member will join HF(Nina)...
Though I still don't have any idea about the Dwarf and the Dark Elf girl that are on Nina's team... They don't have any informations about them....
I wonder if they will join HF.
What do you think?
