This one is ok. It includes good slice of life-vibes in the way it shows the way the MCs live when there's no action.A lot of chapters have disappeared, so you occasionally need to go to the source and self translate.The naivety of the MCs shines through nicely. When the ML finally goes ballistic in the c90s it gets pretty decent for a short time, which makes for a good counter, but it ultimately fails because they don't really learn or mature from the experience and the momentum it isn't sustained.Reasonably good descriptions. I like that there are a LOT of bad strategic decisions made by the ML who consistently over-estimates how smart he is and under-estimates his companion's capabilities... which limits the FLs growth by being overprotective and the negative consequences are pretty well depicted (and I like that the author depicts these consequences).Best of all, it's not a harem and the romantic (sub) plot, while occasionally a bit overbearing, is pretty well incorporated and not forced.My biggest complaints are 1) the villain monologuing is just irritating and awful, and 2) the inconsistency of how the magic system is applied - especially the inconsistent power levels and 3) the plot-damaging good-guy/hero mentality of the MCs to the point of significant self-damage. Together they're pretty major detractors.
