Here is the cover illustration for volume 2

@Torka No, it's been a while since I read it, but as I recall, the one shot covers like half of volume 1. Then, the rest of volume 1 is like a spin off of that, following the MC's daughter. Volume 2 follows a different set of characters, and volume 3, a different character again.

Apparently missed this top first time around. Naturally interested in this due to the cute female lead and the artist. In fact I have.. all the extant volumes in fact.

I don't know how the LN differs from the WN, other than the author leaving a note at the WN host site saying that it goes a new direction starting with volume 2.
I'll take that as a plus, myself.
I enjoyed volume 1.

One can say that it's tropetastic, but everything is tropetastic.
The author's use of the tropes is the thing of interest, and the WN showed signs of being more than superficial, from what I remember of it.

It also has a manga adaptation published by Kadokawa. It doesn't appear to have been licensed?

I’ll judge a book by its cover and upvote this

So far the Manga Version seems better than Light Novel, especially the art work.

I wonder if the situation has changed with the JP publisher, and I still really want more mecha LN got localized
