I'm reviewing this story based on the CrappyAss and Centinni translations because as the other reviewers state, the 2016 translations were a huge mess. The decent translations starting from late 2019 allowed me to actually digest the story which still ended up being a major disappointment.The way the author writes the story is very confusing. They like to add many timeskips so there is a lot of information that is glossed over. For example, we go from chapter one being when Mizuki transports to another world then chapter two where Mizuki has settled for three months. This in itself is fine but the author adds so many boring infodumps and explanations that I would have preferred an extra chapter SHOWING these things happening. The way the author presented this was very jarring to me.Another example is when the author puts a preview in the beginning of the chapter... when we could just read about it 2 minutes later. This is what I mean:Spoiler
“As I said, if you guys are knights, you’re supposed to refrain from doing such shameful behavior, right?”
I lectured the kneeling knights with a smile.
Although the nearby villagers surrounded us and watched from a distance, there were some that nodded in agreement.
Current location: Genoa Village.
And this really strange scene right here had developed into this about an hour ago."
[collapse]See, I would be fine with this if it was just one chapter but I swear to god they do this 5 chapters in a row. THIS IS NOT GOOD STORYTELLING.I also am not a fan of the characters and main female protagonist. She has this "omg I'm so quirky" complex where she has to insist several times that she is not like those ditzy, airheaded girls. And of course, OF COURSE all of the men love girls who are stronger than them and the only person stronger than them is our main female protagonist. The main protagonist comes off as narcissistic and the love interests fall in love in one chapter due to Mizuki's strength. You would think that after self-admitting Mizuki is so "quirky" and "different from other girls" that they would fall in love due to her personality, but no.
