Seirei Gensouki Chapter v14 Discussion

Spoiler

Gonna leave this short review for now; Back at webnovel version the author wrote it with romance as the main-theme, very shoujo-like with lots of misunderstanding, even the webnovel title has ~konna sekai de deaeta kimi ni~ and the story was heavily focused on Haruto and Miharu's relationship, though the shoujo-like development really made people including me raged.

The plus side for this light novel version is that, it no longer piss people off with shoujo-esque tons of misunderstanding that will separate MC and his love interest since it's no longer the main focus; But the minus side (for some people) is that this is no longer a pure romance between two people, it turned into your mainstream overpowered isekai (a decent one at least) with some romance instead and lots of harem.

well.. I might be wrong about it since it's been a while since I've read the webnovel and I only know the light novel version from hearsay, but I'm gonna take this a go and leave this unrated until I read at least 15 or more volumes.

Edit : I've caught up until 14th book and I can safely say this light novel version is written very nicely. Author did it's best to retain the romance theme while expanding it into more of a shounen story. Almost all the dramas related to (supposedly) main heroine are gone in this version, and every side heroines get more scenes/their own arcs. There are unlimited potential for this novel now that it did not focus on their romance anymore, though it is still there. The only downside of this version is maybe his harem grew so much I actually lost count of how many girls are set for him

Also the light novel version quality is so much better than webnovel fans-translations.
