Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess no Matter What! Chapter 13 Discussion

I am chapter 13 of the translation but I have read a machine translation of the rest. I quite enjoy this novel. Unfortunately, the first few chapters are a slog. This story really doesn't pick up until the high school arc. The first few chapters are over power building. The high school are is where the protagonist meets the villainous/love interest. This is the meat of the story and where the interesting character building and exciting stuff occurs.
