Glad to hear!! I absolutely love the concept, and think it executes it very well (tho I think the anime does it better, bc you get to see some parts of their daily life that the novels don’t show). That said the novel plot is better, bc it didn’t have to arbitrarily end.
Even as LNs go, I don’t think it’s the best writing, but it does suddenly improve at volume 5, imo. Won’t claim it’s great literature or anything, but I found it much nicer to read from thereon (I paused vol 7 bc I wanted to read things with easier vocab back then)
It’s definitely supposed to. He’s my least favorite thing about the entire series.
Anyway you’ve made me wanna pick them up again, so when I finish 『人斬り』少女、公爵令嬢の護衛になる 3 | L30?? I’ll give vol 7 a go
On my wishlist, but entirely forgotten about till now, since it’s physical-only. I was gonna offer to read together, if it was digital
I’ve never read it, so it would have gone right over my head. I’m sure it’s not the only series where references show up, so I should read it eventually
I’m “if you convince me, I’ll try it” on the magical girl genre, and 魔法少女ダンデライオン(1) | L23 has definitely been on my wishlist.
Not that I’ve had any bad experiences with the genre, it just doesn’t immediately call to me
