I really like this series. The MC is very similar to many other overpowered, stoic, "I alone will save the world" main character types, but his interactions (especially with Bertelgia) add depth to his personality and pushes him towards character development, feeling more nuanced and natural than other similar novels.I definitely see the main character changing and fighting his fate, altering slowly over time due to his talking book companion. The book companion Bertelgia in turn also develops her personality over time as she gets fiestier and more attached to the MC and vice versa, making very interesting interactions and conversations between the two characters. She is definitely more complexed and better than most talking artifact/talking grandpa soul companions.Also, the translation quality is amazing! The writing flows and I enjoy it. 3 stars base for story, +1 for Bertelgia, +1 for the translator.
