A captivating story(maybe) with interesting focus on trade, economy and politics with some good characters, but sadly the execution wasn't great. It felt too rushed and the 12 eps couldn't expand and show the true potential of the story, the world and its characters. It all went by far too fast for all that happened. It would need 1 or 2 more seasons to expand and explain. But after all the negatives I still enjoyed the show and its world + there aren't many shows like this one that expand their fantasy world and go into its politics and economy and trade which is a big reason for mu enjoyment.
So if you want a fantasy story that explores its world and goes into how it functions then this show is for you beware tho that its not the best in how it explores it.
The main characters don't receive much development but at least the side characters do which is still nice.
Even tho the show has romance as a tag, that romance doesn't go much further then that of a harem anime. What I mean by that is that the only romance it (some) the girls liking and loving and crushing the main character but that relationship doesn't grow or develop any further. So there isn't any real romance I would say.
