Thank god they changed the title, it clashes horribly with the visuals.
Is it any good though? |

The original web novel reads like a satire of edgier-than-thou period fantasy, the manga was a completely deadpan reinterpretation. So, uh, your mileage may vary?

Do you enjoy a sociopath's rise to fame kind of stories? If, then have at it... You might want to read the manga guide for it; animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2022-05-22/the-spring-2022-manga-guide/the-saga-of-lioncourt/.185447 The reviews being of the first volume is going to give a bit skewed impression on the series as a whole as it jumps off a cliff afterwards. If you want to know why I say that and don't mind spoilers, I recommend checking the posts relating to Lioncourt in the comment thread of that article. |

I read the early chapters of the manga. It totally doesn't feel satire so I'm really surprised by this information. |

I have no idea what happened with the manga and (I assume) light novel versions, though, considering the writer didn't change. The editor, maybe? |

The manga is narrated in a TOTALLY serious tone, like, take Vinland Saga, and up it a notch even from that. No idea about the light novel, but who thought that was a good idea? As a satire it may have worked, as you said, it worked for Blackadder. Well, SOMEONE is reading it if it got 6 volumes, series that don't sell are usually axed at three volumes. It might even be a case of running out of material, the second, and also latest, light novel volume came out early 2019 and webnovel has been complete for a while(166 chapters). |
