This book was surprisingly more eloquent than I was expecting! If you have watched the anime you will definitely enjoy this book to see a bit more insight into the characters thoughts and backgrounds. It did such a great job of the embodying the isekai genre—blending video game logic and charm with strategic coordination of the main characters that are extremely satisfying. I can’t wait to read more of the books!

We did count the number of times they used the special “raven black” descriptor; it was a little ridiculous lol. XD
