Reviews

Other people have described the plotline and its pros/cons already. Here's why I think this stands out from other light novels. As someone who has primarily read highly-regarded natively English fantasy books, the translation is incredibly well-written and the series itself holds up amazingly. Unlike many animes/mangas/ln, it's obvious that the author has carefully thought out and designed the overall story and world before even beginning the novels. Instead of appealing to power fantasies and other dopamine-dumping trends prevalent in anime, this focuses on steadily developing a good story yet still being interesting and exciting to read consistently throughout. I think this means that there are going to be some people who would find the series boring, but those are mostly people who are less inclined towards actually reading stories and more into instant gratification. I think people who are constantly reading the instant gratification content popping up all the time are basically little cocaine gremlins chasing after increasingly smaller dopamine rushes. Probably 80% of the negative reviews are from cocaine gremlins while the rest are genuinely just uninterested in this kind of story.
