Plot of Let This Grieving Soul Retire
J-Novel Club is releasing the novels in English and provides a description of the story:
It’s the golden age for treasure hunters—adventurers hungry for wealth, fame, power, and glory, who risk their lives in treasure vaults throughout the world.
“Let’s become treasure hunters.”
Krai and his childhood friends swore to become the greatest of them all, but that dream should have died the day Krai realized he wasn’t cut out for the job! Yet expectations continue to mount, right along with Krai’s fear for his life. While his childhood friends climb closer toward their dream, this grieving soul has one simple wish: to pack it all in and retire!
The story was serialized on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website from January 2018 to December 2018 by Tsukikage.
Micro Magazine released the initial print volume featuring illustrations by Chyko in August 2018 and later published the 10th volume in May 2023.
The 11th volume is scheduled to be shipped on February 29th. Sol Press acquired the novel series in 2020 but unfortunately never published it.
J-Novel Club announced the license rescue for the title in July 2022 and released the first volume in March 2023. J-Novel Club released the third novel of Let This Grieving Soul Retire! volume on January 16.
