----------------------------------------
Couldnt resist start reading this after watching the anime, the second episode really imprisoned my heart there...
And what is to say for the Light Novel, the supposed improved version of the Web Novel?!
Well I started reading the first volume this morning and ended just like 30 minutes ago.
From any given series, this has to be one of the most enjoyable first reads I have ever taken the pleasure to read.
Wow.
Seems like the anime skipped even more scenes than I was expecting, understandanble.

What got me interested in the series was the relationship between Raphtalia and Naofumi, it felt different from what we most usually see, and I was a bit shocked when reading the LN I realized how much dark and violent where his thoughts about everything, so he was mad in the anime, but almost every single interaction he was with Talia, was solely for his benefict of taking care of his tools. It was a bit sad to read, but I understood where he was coming from, and nothing erases his actions, despite his thoughts, he still took care of her and raised her, and I think it was job well done.

Laughed alot with the volume too, it is ingenious, the way he gets full of enemies, just to use them later on to his advantage, in a way I see myself in Naofumi, when I play RPGs I m just like that, micromanaging everything, gather herbs, doing alchemy, smithing... it was just a joy to read the first volume, grand part of it reminded me of my days of Skyrim farming, with the exception that I never handled well shields and prefered to go more onto the attact.

It is really interesting to see a MC like this, that is clever and where we have the LN taking a more detailed role in how the MC deals with his finances, and how he plans stuff how, this was a nice reminder to Spice and Wolf LN in a way, but then you also have Rapthtalia, that reminds me a lot of Holo, for numerous reasons, comparisons end there of course.

The premise of having a MC that can only defend, and has to rely on others for attacking is also rather refreshing, and despite some obviously cliches and troupes here and there (i think there are a postive here, not a negative), overall this is a very promising work, addictive to read, charming, that has me enjoying and wondering both where we will see the cast next, and where the plot will developt towards!

That extra stories at the end where nice too, first is a clear hint of Bitch sketchy nature, and that the Spear dude isnt that bad of a guy at all (just naive as fuck, but I dont blame him), then the second one caught me by surprise, it was a PoV of Talia way before the disaster happened, going till she is raised by Naofumi... it was a sad but sweet to read story, what a way to end the first volume.

One of the few fantasy adventures that actually feels like an adventure to me from the start, and that I cant wait to sink my teeth more into, besides watching it animated each new week~~

If anyone wants something that pulls a smile on their faces, definitly give this a read.
