Sadly, not enough material for 20+ episodes, so we can await 12-13 episodes.

I think there is enough material since one volume is very thick.

Well, I dropped this LN in the second chapter of Volume 1 because I struggled to understand what is going on in the LN. Not sure if the writing is messy or bad translation from Yen Press. :/

In the first chapter, I can only remember some samurai with superpower saving a weak girl…… Completely lost in the second chapter. But it looks very battle-shounen~

Than I hope for 20+ episodes, thank you.

An attempt to combine fantasy action about a hero and a demon king with a battle royale?
