Sinopsis

Within the pages of 'When William Came', readers are presented with a fascinating anthology that spans a spectrum of irony, satire, and the subtle undercurrents of socio-political commentary, reminiscent of the early 20th-century literary landscape. This collection is a testament to the astuteness of Saki (H. H. Munro), and his unique ability to weave narratives that are at once engaging and deeply reflective of the societal attitudes of his time. Among the standout pieces, the anthology showcases a variety of literary styles, from biting satirical sketches to poignant and introspective tales, each contributing to the overarching themes of change, resistance, and the absurdity of societal norms in the face of upheaval. The contributing voice, Saki, is singular in this collection, yet his work reflects a broad spectrum of influences from the historical, cultural, and literary movements of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Saki's wit and his sharp critique of Edwardian society, coupled with his experiences as a soldier and a journalist, infuse the collection with depth and a nuanced understanding of human nature and its contradictions. The anthology stands as a cohesive reflection of a time of great change and the complex reactions to it, told through the lens of one of the era's most insightful authors. 'When William Came' is an indispensable collection for those who wish to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of early 20th-century literature through the singular vision of Saki. It offers readers a unique opportunity to explore a multitude of perspectives on societal change, tradition, and the human condition, all interwoven with Saki's distinctive wit and literary prowess. This anthology is especially recommended for readers who cherish the exploration of historical contexts through the medium of satire and narrative innovation, providing an engaging dialogue between the author's multifaceted works and the contemporary world.

    Even though I don’t want to go to the dungeon!Caught up in a “Hero Summoning,” the hapless Mukohda was brought to another world from modern Japan, but he decided to make the most of it and enjoy a leisurely life of travel with his familiars, Fel and Sui. With new goddesses forcing blessings on him in exchange for offerings, and another familiar in the form of a peckish pixie dragon, Mukohda steadily amasses wealth and power. Finally, the cowardly hero (with a little “help” from his friends) has reached the city of Dolan, where he will challenge the city’s dungeon, whether he wants to or not! But the challenges start before he sets foot inside the dungeon, such as getting accosted by a disappointment of a guildmaster, extorted for booze by some rather intense male gods, and splurging on an actual kitchen stove. For Mukohda, diligent preparation for dungeon diving begins with preparing enough meals to satisfy his voracious companions. Thus armed to battle his familiar’s hunger, Mukohda’s party sets its sights on glorious battle in the dungeon. With ridiculous skills and overpowered magic beasts on his side, does the dungeon even stand a chance……?!
