Looking forward to seeing how they handle this lol. Main story progresses at a glacial pace, mainly due to half (sometimes less) a book being the main story and the half being different PoVs of the same content or side stories.

I've seen the novels advertised online, but I'm happy for Shion Wakayama having a lead role!

Yeah, it feels weird to be at the halfway point page wise and be done with the main story of that volume. |

The first half of the first light novel has a certain energy and kooky charm, but that quickly evaporates, leaving a bland, slow-paced reverse harem story. Toothbrush's point above on the sheer number of alternate-PoV chapters and side stories is well made. That early charm meant I stuck with it until the end of the third novel, but it had become an absolute chore by that point.
Unless this is one of those adaptations that dramatically improves on the source material, I'll be skipping it. |

I'd argue the first half of the first book is an uneven, tonally dissonant mess, and after that it finds its footing and becomes really funny (I've only read the first two, but I'm looking forward to more.)
The idea that the plot doesn't progress is slightly misleading since this is a comedy that is anything but plot driven, and is mostly a series of contrivances to let Fia run circles around everyone in ridiculous ways. |
