Ended up picking up this series and finished because it's readable for free this month. It's just what free does to a mofo, nothing too special.
The novel had ideas that may have been good building blocks but not enough depth to make any lasting substance... it is akin to how I feel with slime isekai, where everything felt superficial to make things fluffy and all. It ends up being a flippant tale, and the ending of it is just not worth thinking about due to the "end game" being too extravagant. the standard deus ex machina issue of every fantasy tale except for the few that you can count with your hand is prevalent as always, but can we ever escape it (especially when the hard work that the target audience would feel is the death from terrible work life)?
The Trundles and Serephione made me think of League due to the names, and I think that just means that I overdone myself with that game, even though it's been a month since the last time I opened it.
When Serephione was gonna become the wind, I thought it was gonna have a sad ending, where she's there, but no one knows, and then she lives to see the end of the tale. I guess it could've gone either way.
I'm really, really surprised that the author never dabbled into Maribelle's past life. Also, there's a lot of kisses, to the point where the significance of it is quite lost.
