So far a very good novel!It's only weakness is pacing. Sometimes the story goes forward pretty fast, even with a bit of acceleration, but then the arc ends and it becomes super slow. Author loves dialogues a lot, and in my opinion does them exceptionally well.Spoiler
My favourite is when the Hero confessed to MC that he's scared to fight right before the showdown with Maou's army
[collapse]But honestly, some of the dialogues could be easily cut out to improve the pacing. Another thing that slows the pace is changing POVs. Some are just super, some felt redundant.This kind of pacing made me impatient at times and I skimmed through next 5-6 chapters, then realized good stuff is ahead, came back and read it properly. Ideally the story shouldn't tempt me into skimming.I'd rank it at 4.5 stars if it was an option, but between 4 and 5 it's closer to 5. Very worth a read. EDIT: recommendations don't make sense, as always. A shoujo novel is very different from shounen novel, even if both feature healer MC.
